SIX THINGS YOU ARE GETTING WRONG ABOUT SKIN CARE

[@zebakoli]

Another terrible myth is when people claim that organic skin care products are better. A lot of organic skin care products are filled with essential oils and other fragrances. I have found that fragrance free is better especially when you are on Tretinoin.

[@DrDrayzday]

There is no such thing as a 100% organic skin care product anyways

@@DrDrayzday I just think it is all marketing especially when they also claim that they have 'clean products'.

I can't believe I used to listen to youtubers tell me how to make my own skincare products and watch them put 8 drops each of citrus and peppermint in a shea butter and oil concoction :'( then I'd do something in the sun. lollllllllllllllll

[@lexirianne1195]

Agreed. I used to be so hung up on “clean beauty” which I still enjoy certain products that actually work or contain helpful ingredients. I’ve learned less is more, and prefer to forgo most “natural”fragrances. Marketing is so powerful and I’m glad I got out of the fog. “clean” to me means non harmful, non irritating and beneficial.

Another misconception is that expensive skincare is better. I was burning a hole in my wallet buying all the hyped up expensive skincare products that wouldn’t do much for my skin.

I did the research early on and found exactly what you suggest-that Hayflick doesn’t affect the skin’s stem cells. I think some of the more offensive fear-mongering consists of seemingly erudite-sounding discussions of matters most people haven’t heard of like Hayflick and creating marketing around it.

Thank you for addressing the mineral sunscreen issue for those of us with deeper skin tones. Surely the most effective sunscreen is the one you are going to use consistently. I tried those mineral sunscreens and they had me out here on these streets looking like Caspar the ghost.

Anyway I recently returned to wearing chemical sunscreen and all is well.

I can imagine as some people see more and more signs of aging, they start getting more hyper aware of every single thing relating to skincare...including an upwards motion when applying skincare.

People with medium and dark skin can't wear a mineral sunscreen without looking like a zombie. As a medium-skinned person, i will NEVER buy any mineral sunscreens ever again. They're more expensive, non-elegant and very drying. It just feels out of touch with reality to tell people that chemical sunscreens are dangerous, yet they recommend expensive mineral sunscreens that come in a tiny bottle and rave about how good they are while also underapplying them and forgetting the fact that mineral sunscreens look different on different skin tones. Mind you, i'm not even a dark-skinned person, and i have never found a mineral sunscreen that looks completely invisible. Chemical sunscreens for the win!

[@ashleywright9223]

As a poc I heard that we should use mineral sunscreens as it was the fact that chemical sunscreen produced heat and that makes hyperpigmentation worse. I have since learned this is untrue (basically) but I spent SOOOOO much time and money looking for mineral sunscreens and none of them worked for me. Not only did they leave an awful grey/lavender cast but for my skin it was actually more irritating as for me I found them really drying. I have found 3 or 4 chemical sunscreens that really work for me and the hyperpigmentation I had has improved significantly with daily reapplied application. Whatever you like and are happy to reapply will be what works for you. Doesn’t matter what brand or if it’s chemical or mineral - consistency is key and for that you need to be happy with how it looks and feels.

I use it every day no matter if it it’s cloudy, raining, snowing or if I’m sitting on the couch all day. I must say though, its not sunscreen alone that has helped my hyperpigmentation - I feel the sunscreen protects and preserves all the work other products too and stops more from forming. I use 0.05 tretinoin and alternate between bha and aha.

I hear a lot of that, “treat your facial skin like it might fall off if you touch it,” from Korean KZbin channels. I think it’s a cultural thing there, and therefore it’s something that won’t go away. In Japan, they are obsessed with foam in cleansers and the ideal foam is one that is so high that your hands don’t even touch your face. Only foam does. You’re using your hands to move the foam around your face. What frustrates me most is on skincare subreddits where I see people say, “I’m using 0.1% tretinoin every night and my face is burning and peeling and bright red! How long will this last?” And I just feel like…geez you want fast results but you’re literally going backwards. You’re damaging your skin because you think you NEED to apply as high a concentration, as often as possible. Or people in r/AsianBeauty who fully insist on ONLY using K-Beauty products. They say that their skin is inflamed, etc., and they list 42 products they use every day. And when you suggest minimizing their routine to a simple cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen for a few weeks to let it heal and calm down before adding back one product at a time, they completely ignore that and instead go on a quest to figure what ingredient they are allergic to. They then carry around a list of 20 ingredients they’re supposedly allergic to when the reality may be that they’re allergic to, like, 4 things and they’re just overwhelming their skin. Skincare is supposed to a fun, relaxing way to do a bit of self care. It’s not about trying to reach some stupid, unimportant, and unrealistic beauty standard. It’s not absolutely necessary to have every ingredient known to man in your skincare routine every day.

Demonizing silicones in skincare! Maybe you have already done a video on this, but if not, I think it would be a great topic for a deep dive. Thanks for the no nonsense approach as always Dr Dray 💜

Thank you so much for the comments about sunscreen during pregnancy. I MUCH prefer chemical to physical sunscreens, but there was so much against using chemical sunscreens (most specifically oxybenzone), that I have been exclusively using mineral sunscreen. I don’t have to worry about white cast as I am ghostly, but I just feel like chemical sunscreens sit and work better on my skin. Also, most of the sunscreens I use are Korean or European, so they don’t have oxybenzone in them anyway.

Oh Dr. Dray, what a great video! I think that watching your channel needs to be a mandatory requirement for people who really want to know the truth about skincare, seriously! I knew nothing before I started watching your channel years ago. What I knew was confusing and basically nonsensical . My 59 year old skin loves you and thanks you, as do I and sooo many others!! Happy New Year, dear Dr. Dray ❤🥰🎉🌟

Thank you. Yes, an entire video on skin care marketing ploys would be great. You’ve revealed several in the past. For example, the words “natural”, “detox”, “organic”, etc. get used frequently and IMO have people bamboozled. Take care.

You're so right about "sunscreening" as general rule. My mother (86) has been distracted a cancerous formation on her nose skin a month ago. She was a nurse by the way. While checking her, the surgeon several times looked at me and said "you know that you have to wear sunscreen everyday, don't you". I do-since the 90s, being blond and blue eyed in a relatively sunny climate. Girls, it's crucial.

[@mayvel1537]

Yes exactly wear that sunscreen girls (& dudes too hahah). Been wearing sunscreen everyday since I turned 20 (28 now), and I still get IDd for being 19 on occasion!

I finally went back to a dermatologist. I had a whole body cancer check. I work outdoors and I have for >15 years. I took Dr. Dray's advice about UVP clothing, hats, sunscreen, etc, and I had 0 suspect spots! :) The schedule they put me on for the morning: Wash with Cerave foaming facial cleanser, Moisturize with Cerave PM, (then 2 prescriptions for bacteria and fungi--determined after looking under a scope), and finally, a sunscreen (she said to keep using Paula's Choice SPF 50). Night is wash, moisturize, Tretinoin, and moisturize again. For my body, she was thrilled that I have been using Panoxyl (on Dr. Dray's advice). I'm waiting on blood work to see what oral medications I should take. That's it. No toners, serums, eye creams, expensive BS, etc. I understand Tretinoin can be expensive for some, but my insurance covers it because I have such bad acne. Thank you for giving such good advice for free.

[@andreagray202]

Dr. Dray, I’m an Aesthetician and I LOVE your videos and agree with the majority of info. The part about social media creating so much confusion is spot on. When I get my clients on certain products, my approach is always “let’s keep it simple, enjoyable, and consistent” But I am constantly seeing clients product jumping all over the place because they saw something on Instagram. Then they’re skin takes a turn for the worse as it’s usually not something appropriate for their skin or they don’t have any idea at all what’s in it. This has been my career for 20 years and it’s never been harder than it is now to get clients to manage their expectations due to false info online. Crazy times. Thank you for all you do!! In my next life, I want to be a Derm like you❤

[@marcellamonteirolima4034]

Yes, do debunk these silly antedotes. I never believed them myself. How can about 15 upward strokes on my face counter the other 23 hours and 30 seconds that gravity puts on it?

Thankful to have you. No shame my mom was obsessed with skincare products. Today i open this video dad even show. It's really have been long we bought some products ( actually too many ) my mom. It's sad that we waste it lot of money and products on clay masks and things like that. But now we have a basic skincare and treatment from doctor.

I thought if anything retinoids would prevent the Hayflick Limit because of their affect on stem cell differentiation? But as someone who loves getting regular TCA peels done (4 times a year) could that have long term negative affects? Is incorporating LED therapy good since it stimulates ATP?? I love Dr. Dray because she’s not only a derm but also a Molecular Biologist, when it comes to DNA and cells I trust everything she says.

[@MephistoAngel]

Thank you for this video! You are one of my top 3 Go-To’s for skin care advice because you actually teach and I love your skill level coupled with common sense. I admit to being older than most of your audience (I’m 69) so I’ve always gone to the sensible side of skin care such as it not mattering which direction skin care is applied to the face and it not mattering which finger(s) are used to apply as long as one is not tugging like they’re rubbing out a stain lol. I also love how you speak about easily and cheaply obtained products as well as some high end. Thank you, again, for your content! I love it and we all learn so much! Not to mention you turned me back onto tea drinking and tea brands lol❤️

[@principeturandot4593]

THANK YOU! As an Asian dealing with hyperpigmentation, for the past year I felt enormous pressure to wear mineral sunscreens… I have wasted a LOT of money testing different mineral sunscreens… Damn. There are very few that truly feel comfortable on the skin after reapplication. So many of them build up and are really drying. I experienced so much irritation through that alone over the past year, let alone the reticence I also felt with the weird casts they leave. Recently, I switched to more comfortable chemical sunscreens again, which are far easier to reapply and my skin deals better with them. Thank you Dr. I no longer feel bad about it.🙏🏼🌹💝🌟🏆

My experience with "luxury" skin care products is their cachet relies on fancy packaging, pretentious names and fragrance. Fragrance is my enemy and fancy skin care and hair care products are mostly a disaster for me! I now ignore "scientific" studies not peer reviewed by those with the education and training to make an informed recommendation. I've learned to discount anecdotal positive reviews as just more advertising. The net is full of influencers who feed our fears and desires. People have been seeking the fountain of youth for a very long time!

Love a good myth busting video! 🤩 The ones about what direction to rub in your skincare products and only use the ring finger around the eyes have been flying around for decades. Another one is that moisturizers should only be patted into the skin, never rubbed. I guess if your skin was the texture of crepe paper this may be helpful. Lol! 😛
