HAHAHAHAHAH OMG im so happy i found this comment, i died. So shook.

[@Smiles4UFL]

Dr Dray You most certainly always have us on our toes! Lol 👍🏼😊❤️

[@AnaGarcia-fh7iw]

Lol

[@lzrd929]

As a nurse, I just love that you speak in professional terms regarding skin care. You state things in a different way to make a person think. BTW ur comment on the basal cell was hilarious! Really liking your vids.

[@DrDrayzday]

thank you so much and thanks for all of your hard work as a nurse!

[@mireckca]

Scary thumbnail! The Avene did give you a nice coverage for occasions when you might want it. Loved your experiment with the makeup removal cloths. I myself prefer to use coconut oil - just apply some to the lashes, give it a few secs to dissolve the mascara, and gently swipe with a cloth. Cheap and easy! Have a great day.

[@DrDrayzday]

Hahah! Yeah many other comments regarding the efficacy of coconut oil in removing the water proof mascaras. Thanks for sharing the bargain tip and hope you are having a fab thursday :)

[@katelynnlee5158]

Lol But it's hard to remove the coconut oil after, and I don't like the oil and water mix, because they don't mix. That's why I use cleansing oils. The cleansing oil comes right off once I rinse it. Of course I double cleanse too.

[@michelleparsons5667]

Good information on the perfume. I don't wear it often but when I do I always spray my neck. From now on, I'm only spraying it on my clothes😄👍

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks! Hope you are having a great day :)

[@everglade93]

OOOhh that Avene tinted product looks glorious! I'm a dark skinned girl and loving the Elta MD UV Shield, but I still have a bit of a white cast. I can definitely leave the house with just the sunscreen on, but my skin looks just a bit off, and when I reapply throughout the day, I have to get all of the sunscreen off before reapplying so it doesn't look too ghostly. The Avene looks like it would be a great product to throw on a bit of over my Elta MD to hide the white cast! The tinted EltaMD was waaay too pale for my skin, I'm happy to see that the Avene comes in more than one shade! Definitely going to try this out!

[@DrDrayzday]

YEah give it a whirl, i think you might like it and it has ferric oxide which will offer a little more protection agains broader wavelegths of light that probably contribute more to persistent dark spots

[@davidpaul9337]

I have you to thank for guiding me through this process of sun protection and good creams etc. My 34 year old son just walked out the door, "Oh mom, this is so nice to put on (CeraVe spf30 day cream). I leave at the doors in my house for use when going out. I'm so happy he is using it. Love you Dr. Dray! You should be so proud of your good work. Colleen, wife of...........

[@amandak6802]

I love the Avene tinted spf! It also has ceramides and I find it to be hydrating. Functions as a mineral spf, makeup, and moisture boost - and non-irritating to boot - a definite win in my book! I have the medium shade, which is a bit orangey for me as well, so I plan to pick up the lighter shade next time.

[@DrDrayzday]

Let me know how the lighter shade turns out for you! Many folks have asked me about mixing the darker shade in with a plain zinc sunscreen too as a way to lighten it

[@amandak6802]

I have been mixing it with another sheer tint spf I get on well with, so as not to look like an Oompa Loompa :). That's been doing the trick!

[@adtiashok6509]

Amanda K - hi, I'm a Fitzpatrick scale 4 skin shade and medium suits me well.. if you're lighter skinned than me, the light version will suit you pretty well..

[@Smiles4UFL]

I absolutely love your humor! The raccoon eyes and sleeping under the bridge reference😂😂😂👍🏼👍🏼

[@DrDrayzday]

haha! thanks!!

[@michellevioletta4410]

Smiles4UFL I kno rt lol

[@Smiles4UFL]

Michelle vegas lol, my friend! 😊😂😂

[@adtiashok6509]

oh the thumbnail.. I was wondering what happened to my beloved doc!! I use ittar (sandalwood oil, rose oil) as perfume on my neck and wrists.. gonna use it on waistband and non exposed parts from now.. I hope pure essential oils safe to use on skin.. have a lovely day doc!

[@adtiashok6509]

the ittar- KAZIMA Gulab Attar - 10ml (Non-Alcoholic) - Rollon 100% Pure, Natural & Undiluted Attar www.amazon.in/dp/B014J43A3G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_S4HazbABGED6P

[@DrDrayzday]

Hahah! Thanks for sharing this! Essential oils can cause problems, but if you are not sensitized to them or having problems then fine.

[@adtiashok6509]

thank you doc. I will exercise caution from now.. I'm going on a trip tomorrow for 10 days!! 43°c here in India and I'm gonna make the sunscreens and protective clothing prove their worth!!

[@alainiac416]

Hi Dr Dray! A mineral based sunscreen with pigment that works well with dark skin is the Obagi Sun Shield Tint. It's an spf 50 and comes in two shades, cool and warm. However this is a very expensive product for what it is. It does blend beautifully into my skin with no white cast. I had some samples and I'm on the fence about purchasing the full size.

[@DrDrayzday]

Yeah it is a very hefty price tag. Have you tried the cotz tinted sunscreen? Offers similar protective benefits for much less $$. I haven't tried it myself, but the ingredients are good.

[@jennifers.7037]

Hey Dr Dray, was wondering how many years you have been wearing sunscreen everyday? In the past, I would only ever wear it on days when I was going to be in the sun for more than 30-40 minutes, but thanks to you I now wear it everyday no matter what.

[@DrDrayzday]

I have worn sunscreen daily for the past 15 years or so...but prior to residency I was more haphazard and careless with application.

[@sable7114]

@@DrDrayzday I hope I'm not in grave danger because my parents didn't apply sunscreen to me or themselves when I was a child and we made yearly visits to the beach and I played Outdoors a lot. I can't really recall when I started sunscreen but I do know I was using it when I started taking a sun sensitive medication. I was not told to reapply it throughout the day however.

[@jlsat3]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on makeup wipes. My youngest daughter(8 yrs) has eczema, allergies and very sensitive skin. She had to wear some makeup for a dance recital last year and I purchased those Simple make up wipes thinking they would be gentle enough to do no harm. She cried because they burned her eyes and they also gave her a full face of inflammation and rash. I would not recommend them to anyone who has truly sensitive skin!

[@adtiashok6509]

jlsat3 - aww, I'm so sorry to hear this. I have a 9 year old nephew. and after his annual day performance I removed his face paint with coconut oil. you can also use Vaseline. please don't use the wipes coz they almost always have some kind of alcohol in them which causes stinging.

[@DrDrayzday]

So sorry to hear about your youngest! REminds me of my first ballet recital (and first time i was allowed to wear makeup)...I got a horrible irritant dermatitis that I believe scared me away from makeup permanently. It is a scary and very uncomfortable thing to go through. Hope she is better and dancing away! Have a great day :)

[@DrDrayzday]

yeah the wipes are pretty rough

[@Selsmittenxo]

jlsat3 they have a smaller eye version of these :/

[@psheth3]

my favorite thing to use for eyes is coconut oil! it literally melts off the mascara and i just wash it off under the sink with with a cotton round. I use micellar water for my face makeup or even slab coconut oil on that and it just melts everything off and moisturizers at the same time so it doesn't burn/sting or make my face super dry.

[@DrDrayzday]

I need to try this! Thanks for sharing and hope you are having a great day.

[@jessicalutkus5245]

psheth3 I have tried coconut oil to remove my mascara but my eyes just burns!! :(

[@Shayri01]

Jessie Lutkus Try sweet almond oil (cold pressed). Coconut oil stings my eyes too, but sweet almond oil doesn't.

[@cassandraripz73]

Be careful, I used coconut oil to remove my eye makeup and ended up with a chalazion.

[@aubreypoon1677]

I use olive oil. I used coconut oil before but I prefer olive oil 😀 make sure it's cold pressed

[@julia9557]

What going on in the thumbnail?! 😳

[@MrsPattyann12]

Your hysterical and this morning my husband asked me who is that you're alway listening to and giggling to. Well, I told him she is a super smart, humorous and very informative derm in Texas. Thank you again! One thing I am doing is mixing a more cosmetically elegant sunscreen with the cheaper cetaphil. Works great and I'm saving money.

[@DrDrayzday]

Thank you so much! Hope you are having a great Friday :)

[@CW-xf1li]

I started using old cut up t-shirts as makeup removers. Reusable, soft, and no product waste.

[@Jenny_bell_key]

I started using baby wipes to remove makeup when I had my first kid. They were always handy, I was always in a rush, and they actually work pretty well.

[@juliesharpe]

I have been contemplating and wondering about purchasing the It cosmetics CC cream because I want to switch from SPF foundation to more sunscreen protection but need coverage for my acne scars. I'm so glad you mentioned and recommended it! 🤗

[@DrDrayzday]

It is good as a concealer and masker of the white film from a good baselayer zinc sunscreen

[@juliesharpe]

Dr Dray Yes! Base layer first of course. Thank you!

[@DrDrayzday]

fyi...ebates gives 6% cash back on itcosmetics site

[@juliesharpe]

Dr Dray 😯 Awesome. Will look into that! 👍

[@katieterwey1655]

Dr. Dray, my turmeric Chai elixir just arrived while watching your video. I'm excited to try it. I also ordered mushroom hot cacao mix with reishi by four sigmatic.. I'll let you know what I think. awesome video. still addicted and binge watching your videos.

[@DrDrayzday]

Awesome! HOpe you like it and keep me posted on the mushroom hot cocao w/ reishi :)

[@katieterwey1655]

Dr Dray the mushroom hot cacao w/reishi is really good, dark cacao with a hint of cinnamon. no mushroom taste, don't get me wrong I love mushrooms but not in my cacao :)

[@Babypoohbear1990]

I've been using the Ulta beauty tinted mineral spf 30 sunscreen the last week or so and I've been really enjoying it.It's matte, mineral based ,adds some color without being makeup and is 10 dollars for 2 ounces.

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks for sharing...i will have to look into that one!

[@mercedes4328]

I have darker skin and the physical sunscreen I have been using is the Cotz Flawless Complexion SPF 50. It is tinted but it doesn't say light, medium or dark. There is only one color. It does leave a slight white cast, but not as much as other sunscreens. Today I am trying out Altruist SPF 50. Thanks for all you share Dr. Dray!

[@Puppygoogoo87]

I like the Kirkland face wipes. Try running the wipes under water for a quick second so it moisturizers the product in it, removes more from your face!

[@Puppygoogoo87]

Also I don't recommend wipes for the eyes. Bioderma makes a great makeup remover that's water based.

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks for sharing and for the tip!

[@sydsworld03]

I have a few questions about your career... what made you choose to study dermatology over other medical fields? what is your degree in? how long have you been practicing? do u like working in the hospital? what is your official title? Thanks so much. Love u and ur videos.

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks! sometime maybe i will share more of this

[@lizadaniel549]

Thanks for the tip regarding perfume and where to spray it.

[@DrDrayzday]

My pleasure! HOpe you are having a great weekend :)

[@sherryg1838]

That thumbnail ha ha! I don't use makeup wipes, because of my sensitive skin and I'm cheap lol. I use mineral oil, purchased from the laxative aisle at Walmart. Whatever it takes to get fragrance free! I really like the tinted Cotz, then I use concealer for age spots, and top it with the NYX Stay Matte But Not Flat powder. I love the look, much better than foundation. Which is saying something for my 57 year old skin! Thanks so much for the rec of the Cotz in the melasma video. I didn't realize how nice it would look with the powder. On my neck and arms, I use the Banana Boat Sunscreen for Kids SPF 50, which is mineral and fragrance free. But I absolutely hate the IT CC Cream with a burning hatred lol. The orange oil and eucalyptus oil irritated my skin. "Good for you ingredients," my bee-hind. It's popular on You Tube though. Enjoyed the vlog as usual!

[@DrDrayzday]

Glad the tinted cotz is working out well for you. I really like that it also has the iron oxide in it too. I need to try it out myself sometime. Sunscreens for babies are usually a safe bet, lol. Hope you are having a great night :)

[@happygirl7531]

the only makeup wipes I use are by KORRES. Gentle but they remove all my makeup. The cloth is very luxurious. I rearly use them though and always wash my face afterwards. they offer two options, Milk proteins and Pomegranate (my favorite) .

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks for sharing! hope you are having a great day :)

[@friermama]

Amen on your honest opinion about the make up removing wipes! They wreck havoc on your eyes and face. I'm still trying to convince my good friend (who has rosacea) to ditch them, gah! She complains about her flare ups and I gently remind her about the products she uses on her face. Hopefully she'll listen soon!

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks!

[@sarjaner]

Micellar water definitely feels much more gentle than wipes! Especially for removing eye makeup. It might have worked better had you used an oil or a cold cream to melt the waterproof mascara first and then used a wipe to wipe it away.

[@DrDrayzday]

Yeah i suppose, but the wipes are harsh regardless

[@MargieMedina]

After watching so many of your vlogs, I have purchased the tinted Elta MD and have been enjoying it. It was quite a hefty price at my derm's office and I found it for a much cheaper price on Amazon. Would you recommend buying it through online sources or is buying from my derm's office better? Also, I'm a darker skin tone and am curious to find some good sunscreen recommendations for us darker folks because I always have a white cast. I have tried the Garnier micellar water and I find that it removes my mascara quite well (although to be fair I never use waterproof because that stuff is too much trouble to remove). I would recommend putting it on the cotton pad and holding it to your eye for about 30 seconds before you start to gently run it across your eye. Also, you should try tubing mascara. It's much simpler to remove than regular mascara.

[@DrDrayzday]

Glad to hear you like it. Totally buy it on amazon! I confirmed with the rep that their amazon store is legit and the same stuff as what is sold in the office (minus any up charge).

[@tanyas6643]

Margie Medina You may want to try adding a drop or 2 of the CoverFX Custom Drops, to your preferred Zinc and or Titanium sunscreen product. That’s how I managed to turn a non-tinted version into a tinted one, that doesn’t leave that dreaded white cast. (It can also help you darken a tinted product that’s too light for you.) Just get one that’s in your skin tone. Sephora sells them for $45(?) It’s expensive, from the looks of it, but it will last you a long time. If you’re not sure it will work for you... just ask the ladies at Sephora to make you a sample. (It will be more of a challenge to use only a drop, if the put it into a sample jar... but it’s free, so you can test it out, before committing to buy.)

[@sheilasingleton7904]

I totally agree with the wipe usage situation. I have rosacea and normally avoid them like the plague but I recently spent two days in the hospital with my daughter in law after her c-section (she’s fine and granddaughter is perfect ) . I had rushed out and forgot my skincare bag and ended up using her Yes to Grapefruit wipes. Yeah, it was bad and I’m finally getting rid of the rosacea flare I spawned THREE weeks ago. Rosacea HADES!

[@DrDrayzday]

they are the worst

[@tedoymisojos]

I have the same issues with stinging from towelettes. I find it much better to just remove everything with a watersoluble facewash. Neutrogena Naturals fresh cleansing + makeup remover for example removes susncreen, longwearing foundation, eye makeup and lipstick in one go, no rubbing needed and it doesn't over dry the skin used like this. If I wear light makeup Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Foaming cleanser removes it all, no tugging. I think these options or water soluble oil cleansers (origins oil cleanser/body shop camomile cleanser) for non breakout prone skin are the best option for makeup/sunscreen removal. Tugging and rubbing around my eyes is a nono, so I hate eye makeup removers. Most micellar waters are pretty useless compared to those too imho. There is one exception, bi-phase micellar waters. They are a good pre cleanse for when you use waterproof foundation and sunscreen. But they sting the eyes more often than not too. Not a fan. Very much enjoyed this blog. Thanks for sharing.

[@DrDrayzday]

Yeah i am not a fan of these wipes. I will have to try the naturals fresh cleanser sometie. Thanks for sharing. Hope you are having a great night Ms Liz!

[@stephaniee18]

Oh I've found micellar water to be very different from wipes. My favorite is Bioderma (pink one). The Garnier pink one is ok but I feel like there is a *slight* film left on my skin. Would love you to try and give your thoughts!

[@DrDrayzday]

bioderma is popular...thanks for sharing!

[@sroo9188]

Another great vid . I too use coconut unrefined oil to remove mascara. Just be aware that sometimes the oil can make your eyes a little blurry. I dab a little on q-tip and gently target lashes . Works great . I still wash face after to remove any residue .

[@DrDrayzday]

Great "q-tip!" LOL! I crack myself up

[@Lu.G.]

Dr. Dray keepin' it real with the makeup wipe situation! :-) Thanks for all you do.

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks! Glad you appreciated it..got to test these things out. Hope you are having a great night :)

[@adtiashok6509]

I was sent a small bottle of avene micellar water free with my purchase. I didn't think it did much doc, though it didn't sting my eyes. I personally will not waste money buying a micellar water or pre-soaked rag (lol) wipes, would rather use coconut oil...

[@DrDrayzday]

coconut oil sounds more gentle for sure

[@tjackson611]

thanks for the tip on the perfume on the neck area i am so bad to squirt it there even tho it kinda stings i suffer thru the burn just to smell fabulous..lol but i didnt think of the it having a reaction with the sun from now on i will be scenting up in other areas or my clothes.lol lunch looked delicious! i dont like the makeup wipes either they leave a sticky film. i just follow your daily routine and my skin has never looked better.

[@DrDrayzday]

Glad it was helpful! Yeah I think the wipes are too aggressive, however, I can see how for folks who are working night shifts and may not have access to a sink, it might be something of interest...mabye the micellar waters would be a better option though ( i will have to test those out next)

[@Karenkaza1]

I am binging on your videos--so informative with a great sense of humor. CeraVe has facial wipes that I occasionally use but not on my eye area because something in them irritates that area.

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks!

[@tanyas6643]

Tip... if you want to use up that tinted sunscreen. Mix in a bit of non-tinted sunscreen with the same/similar key/active ingredients. This helps lighten the tint...

[@tjpham3879]

I just love Dr. Dray!! So informative with an awesome sense of humor!

Maybe you could check out the Coola Suncare line? They offer a mineral sunscreen that I have tried a sample of and it seemed to work ok under my foundation. It had a really different texture....not creamy at all. It's hard to explain. Maybe you could get your hands on some of it and tell us what you think? Great videos! I watch everyday! Take care......Stacey

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks! Yeah I know they are a popular brand. Hope you are havin a great night :)

@@gretas6794 what about if you’re on the go and after workouts and need a good makeup wipe? Any good ones? Or another way that doesn’t consist of needing a sink

[@gretas6794]

@@releasetoreceive micellar water would be the closest option i think. they leave residue but so do makeup wipes, and at least with micellar water u just need a small cotton pad not a huge wipe to throw away

Hi Dr. Dray. Great demonstration on make up removal wipes and the good recommendation to AVOID them. Women must use real, dermatologists recommended cleansers to remove their make up and forget about those wipes. I do not use make-up lol but I follow your videos for dermatology advices on correct skincare products and routines. I am a BIG fan of your videos :)). 🌹🌹

they are no good

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks for sharing this!

[@baybieaimee]

The best wipes are by Kirkland. They are the daily facial wipes. You buy them at costco in bulk and they are SO worth the price. Some people say they are dry but I disagree.. I store them upside down and they seem to stay wetter for longer. But I was surprised I loved them because I’ve only liked the neutrogena wipes and these are far better and you get more bang for your buck.

[@baybieaimee]

Also! They don’t irritate my skin it can red after using certain products especially wipes.. these don’t seem to do that. But we’re all different soooo...

[@DrDrayzday]

they are popular...but still cause problems

[@dulcezayas3058]

I use Cotz Face Natural Skin Tone SPF40 Sheer Matte mineral screen with a PA+++ I found this is great for tan skin tones. It’s sheer matte so it’s perfect for combo/oily skin types ideal for the summer.

That thumbnail though...

[@interfacefantasy]

I am prescribed Clindamycin Phosphate and Trentinoin Gel 1.2%/0.025% (it is combined) for acne. It dries out my skin a lot if I use it everyday. I have very oily skin without it. I find my foundation looks really bad and highlights the dryness and flakiness (wish I had skin like yours and didn't have to wear foundation!!). Do you think it is effective if I use it once every other day or once every third day? I moisturize like crazy. In the morning I put on a vitamin c serum and sunscreen. Love your channel!!

[@DrDrayzday]

These are excellent medications for acne. Follow up with your dermatologist to make sure you are on the right treatment path, as modifications may be needed based on your acne.

[@st6218]

Hi Dr. Dray! So far, the Elta MD 41 physical sunscreen has done the best job of camouflaging "white cast" when worn alone. I usually layer a BB cream with an SPF of 35 over it if I need to wear makeup that day. Recently, I tried the Green Screen Daily by Farmacy and that sunscreen practically disappears! It does tend to pill, but doesn't seem to burn my rosacea affected skin. Lastly, I have been using Coloscience's brush-on sunscreen to reapply. Do you have any thoughts on the brush-on sunscreens? Apologies if you've covered this question in the past.

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks so much for sharing this about the sunscreens that worked well for your rosacea. Brush on formulas are less reliable in distributing the uv filters

[@Ms1Loba]

I could not tolerate the Simple wipes...burned my eyes and face. I love the Neutrogena wipes. But honestly I prefer the original wipes. The fragrance free wipes don't work as well AND the cloth is rougher...no burning but really rough on the eyes. And yes they tout no rinsing necessary but seriously. Also yes you didn't rub enough whigh is bad for that area.

I adore perfume I love chanel :) I spray all over myself including my hair:) I remove my makeup with Ultra gentle daily cleanser or Oil of olay cleanser or Ponds cream then wash my face with dove soap :) God bless you and your loved ones: )

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks :)

[@MB-fr4jh]

Hi Dr Dray. Since discovering your channel, I've become much more diligent in sunscreen application and reapplication. However, I find that, especially during the summer, all those layers are really clogging my skin and causing some breakouts. I use very lightweight sunscreens. I know that face wipes aren't ideal and neither is constantly washing one's face during the day. Can you recommend a gentle method for getting rid of previous layers of sunscreen before reapplication? I don't use makeup so I don't need to scrub too much. Thank you !!!!

[@rachelmckitterick]

Avene is a great brand. I love their Rich Skin Recovery Cream as a moisturizer for very sensitive skin.

[@missparan]

dr dray, what do u mean by available light? does that include household lighting? or just light from the sun?

[@DrDrayzday]

visible light (in addition to ultraviolet light that comes from the sun that you actually don't see, but "sees you")

[@Eyeliketosmush1]

If i have heavy eye makeup on, i just take coconut oil and rub that over my eyes and then remove all the oil/makeup residue with the neutrogena cleanser. Nothing left on my face and skin doesnt feel super dry either. Wipes are just a waste of money i find.

[@DrDrayzday]

Great tip! Yeah not a fan of the wipes :)

[@Evange]

Can you do a video about supplements?

[@joannaledbetter6509]

I really enjoy your channel. There is something for everyone in your videos. You are funny, educational & very informative. You are a joy to watch. I like that you take us along and give us a glimpse on your daily journey. You explain everything so clear and that helps us make better decisions when buying products. You tell it like it is. I like that. My diet is really horrible and I need to watch all your videos on healthy eating and the supplements you take and why you take them. Take care ~ Joanna

[@DrDrayzday]

Joanna Ledbetter thanks! I hope you have a great day

[@joannaledbetter6509]

I think I'll have a Dr Dray day and watch everyone of your videos. I definitely am going to change my eating habits and what I use on my skin because of your channel. Thank you for all your advice!! ~ Joanna ♡

[@marylechkun1095]

I take my face makeup off with mineral oil as you suggested and love It! The makeup wipes are not cost effective plus It's another item to clog up landfills!

[@DrDrayzday]

works well!

[@mellisawilson4648]

i just started using the Australian Gold brand tinted SPF 50 mineral sunscreen. i like that it mattifies the skin a bit, so it is good under makeup. have you used it before?

[@DrDrayzday]

didn't work well for me

[@xsavalos]

Great video. Thank you. Keep them coming...

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks so much and happy you are enjoying the vlogs!

[@marpatmarver]

OMG how did I just find you?!?! I love you!!!

[@carolinechalue9029]

When I use perfume I never spray it on my skin because it never lasts so I just spray it on my shirts , word of caution do not spray perfume on your pants especially if you're a lady

[@DrDrayzday]

:)

[@loveandlight8299]

Hi thanks again for all your time- I just wanted to tell you I seen a show that says when you microwave it takes out the nutrients of ingredients !!!!😳

[@megahoneybee5]

I have some samples of the tinted Avene sunscreen spf50, i also found it too dark for me, plus i don't want to look tanned. I use a tiny bit over my full white spf 60, just to get rid of the ghost look.

[@azulazheng2023]

The thumbnail got me thinking “ who’s this mr. bean knockoff?”

[@diananoemi6796]

Hello Dr. Dray< truly love your little videos! I thought maybe you might like to try the All Clean Balm by heimish (amazon accessible) as a makeup remover and then your regular face wash. I really enjoy using that to remove my makeup, its very lovely to use...no tugging at all and it melts every bit of makeup off!

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks and thanks for the tip! Hope you are having a great day!

[@surfer-0076]

Hey Dr Dray, what are your thoughts on cleansers that contains Sodium Laureth and Lauryl Sulfate? Is it something to really stay away from? And thanks for such another great video! 😁

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks! FIne as far as I am concerned

[@amandapoon7925]

They dry out your skin???

[@Fapple]

Wondering what you think of the alba botanica wipe series. I’ve been using the good and clean ones, they’re textured on one side so it can help with getting rid of the sebum around my nose that gathers later in the day (gross I know), but I actually use the non textured side so I’m not irritating my skin.

[@Kim-ri1hg]

Sleeping under a bridge 😂😂 you crack me up !!! Love your sense of humor!

[@Platinum907]

Spa day in the dishwasher, Cute!

[@tracyhunter340]

How do you feel about waxing hair on the face? Which process of hair removal do you suggest?

[@robinecklund]

I keep my elta md in its box, you are right. Iron oxide in the inactives. What do you think of the powdered sunscreens for reapplying during the day?

[@DrDrayzday]

powder is not reliable for sunscreen

[@talismanic71]

@@DrDrayzday I trust what you have to say about that because when my dermatologist mentioned oh you can wear a powdered sunscreen from Ulta she lost credibility with me. I would have fell for that misinformation had I not watched your videos. I have been purchasing the products you mentioned in your videos can't wait to try the. Elta Md sport and the tinted. The vani cream lip spf, the Hada Labo plumping gel. I already have the neutrogena cleanser, and creave moisturizer in the tub. I remember my insurance covered the tretinoin a few years ago but I tried to get another prescription recently and it is not covered and quite expensive so I'm wondering what would be a good as an alternative that the insurance might cover. Thank you for all your advice.

[@subblonde3101]

huh and never even thought about the affects of spraying perfume on myself. Good to know, thanks!

[@DrDrayzday]

Yeah especially with all that pretty florida sunshine :)

[@Emlane09]

Do you still use the Neutrogena wipes? I found out Kristin Cavallari used them. I thought that was so interesting since she could use anything and she has great skin.

[@user-ry4ho8rj1c]

I like the Alastin HydraTint Pro Mineral Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 36 (it’s also cruelty free). Have you tried this one yet?

[@funkymonkey3189]

The only face wipes I have found that aren't harsh on my face are the Equate Sensitive Cleansing Facial Wipes. I don't think any of them are great at removing mascara, especially waterproof. I have only tried the micellar water from Sephora in the rose scent and it kind of burns the skin around my eyes. I really prefer an oil based product for removing mascara.

[@funkymonkey3189]

Btw, I forgot to mention the pronunciation for Avene. It's A+been - just replace the b with the v. I have been using the Avene Ultra Light Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50 for sensitive skin but it kind of stings sometimes when I apply it. It irritates the area around my eyes. My skin isn't particularly sensitive, but I treat it as such since starting Retin-A 0.025. Recently I got the Neogen Dermalogy Day-Light Protection Sunscreen SPF 50/PA+++. It is a mix of mineral and chemical suncscreens and I like it a lot better. I don't care for the IT Cosmetics cream because I find it to be too heavy of a product on my skin. Another good product for color and sunscreen is the Dr Jart+ Premium Beauty Balm SPF 45.

[@DrDrayzday]

thanks! Prepare to possbly be annoyed though as i will be mispronouncing it in the next several vlogs, as they are filmed in advance

[@funkymonkey3189]

No annoyance! :-) I just thought you might like to know.

[@DrDrayzday]

Marilyn Godwin Smith definitely did want to know so big thanks! I'm just going to be annoyed every time I hear myself butcher it 😖

[@roberthutchinson2716]

Dr Dray was wondering what u think of facial exercises as an anti aging regimen Dr Dray

[@kathyyan3171]

Always wondered about the face wipes now I know not to bother even trying them. Thanks

[@jenniferbeagle4392]

Thank you for the heads-up about the simple brand makeup remover wipes. I do suffer with rosacea and I was curious about those but now I know to leave them on the Shelf. Do you have any recommendations for wipes or makeup remover that would be sensitive enough for rosacea prone skin?

[@DrDrayzday]

no...in fact i very much encourage you to AVOID makeup removal wipes

[@Xuxiaohui-x7f]

Hi Dr Dray, I used to use makeup wipes to remove simple makeup, but later I found out makeup wipes are kinda same with baby wipes, so I just use baby wipes instead. If you can give your opinion about baby wipes that would be great, thank you!

[@DrDrayzday]

i dont recommend wipes....leave behind residue that causes problems

[@puppetmaster3911]

Would you say that the tinted Elta MD covers the white cast when you layer it over something else?

[@migrainemama7932]

My mother is in her mid-70s and doesn’t have one wrinkle. She has worn Merle Norman her whole life and just recently found out it has zinc oxide in it.

[@DrDrayzday]

wow!

[@janetmcdonaldhalter7776]

Great tip on the perfume placement

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks!

[@jaysea9104]

Hi Dr. Dray! I was wondering if you are familiar with bentonite clay masks, specifically the Indian Healing clay mask. Can a mask truly draw out the gunk that's in your pores? This mask also makes your face "pulsate." I'm realizing now that may not be a benefit. Do you have any input on this product, specifically for acne prone teenage skin? Thank you!

[@DrDrayzday]

jay sea yes I am familiar and discussed before. Can absorb excess oil, but I am not a fan of diy face masks, especially ones that have botanic ingredients as offer the potential for harm rather than any established benefit

[@jaysea9104]

Dr Dray Thank you for the fast response! Do you have any specific products you recommend which do what the mask claims (removing buildup in pores?)

[@DrDrayzday]

jay sea no...I don't think this is a worthwhile effort tbh

[@alexswitch5878]

Hello! I use clymayacin (i think thats how you spell it, probably not) and benzyl peroxide both prescribed to me. i put the clymayacin all over my face and the benzyl peroxide only on my forehead since i have the most acne there and it seems to be working for me. should i not be putting the clymayacin on my whole face? should i do the aquaphor thing too? i also use a facial brush in the shower and rose hemp dr bronners soap, is that okay? i top off the face after i put on all the ointment with lotion, and then sunscreen.

[@DrDrayzday]

Yeah it is best to use the clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide (BP) together, as the benzoyl peroxide helps the clindamycin work better. I like aquaphor to my lips because they get dry and i like it around the eyes and nose to keep the BP from getting in those areas, but if you are doing well without it then no need to add it. I am not really a fan of facial brushes as they cause irritation to come to the skin, which drives the acne to persist and potentially heal with discoloration.

[@Kidnappedfaerie]

what are your thoughts on using only Garnier Micellar water in the morning?

[@DrDrayzday]

I talk about micellar water in a q&a...not really fond of the idea of leaving the ingredients on the face

[@rosariosmith2162]

Hi Dr Dray do I have to wash my face at work to reapply sunscreen again or I could reaply without washing over my light makeup ????

[@DrDrayzday]

no you don't

[@catrinalinton2452]

Dr. Dray do you think the it cosmetics CC cream is ok to use for acne prone skin??

[@lily2521]

Dr. Dray I don’t know if you have done a video on make up face removal cleansers that you recommend. I know you recommended the garnish gentle sulfate cleanser but it has salicylic acid and it tends to irritate my skin, since I already use a salicylic acid facial cleanser in the morning. If you could do a video on what other cleansers you might recommend to remove make up that would be awesome, since I know you are not a fan of make up removal wipes.

[@DrDrayzday]

several videos of that nature

[@SG-nf5fm]

Can you try Pacifica products?

[@DrDrayzday]

which product did you have in mind?

[@SG-nf5fm]

Anything you think has healthy ingredients for the skin.

[@loveandlight8299]

Oh and I ordered the ultra md sunscreen can't wait to try!!!😃

hope you like it
