Dr Nina, Nina, Nina, if I love you one more time. I thought I was the only one who thought some of these skin care and self care videos were ridiculous.

[@shellybulwer-mcgill7897]

@@shackerajackson9648 these videos perpetúate the fraud. Sad!

[@noxolondlela8843]

Self care to me looks like quiet time by myself . Eating good food and just taking a long long shower before bed and a nice tea in bed . And then rest 😊😊. . Ooh . Works every time

[@DillanRichardsonn]

I love that vacation you having coming up for you - you work hard - you deserve it !

[@tamiekamaxwell2154]

Yaaas, Dr. Nina. This video is right on time. I am interested in the journal and the boundaries book. Take care 🥰🥰

Licensed beauty professional here. Whether it's hair, skin, or nails, the majority of the population jumps on trends and wonder why they're stagnant or regressing. The skin and scalp will get stressed & freakout if constantly bombarded with change. Ideally you want to do any regiment for at least 3-4 months in order to correctly assess if it's working or not. Skin cell turnover rate ranges from 28-75 days depending on age and overall health. Genetics and internal health directly impact the hair growth cycle. It takes 30-45 days for a new product to address any damage that has been done at the subdermal level. Once addressed it can take another 30-45 days to correct. Normally that last 30-45 days is when you will see significant change. All this to say, have patience with yourself and the new routine. Let's talk about hydration and nutrition. Some of the issues we're dealing with can be solved by increasing hydration and improving nutrition. Start with what's sustainable and move forward. Add in foods that you know you will eat and different hydration techniques that you look forward to. Let's get to the root issue rather than symptom management. Sometimes that means a doctor's visit for an exam and blood work. Or a therapy session.... While there's a place for all these products, overuse is just as bad if not worse than using nothing. Most if not all of these items have a point where they can't do anymore externally until the internal is addressed. Edit: smoking (anything but especially cigarettes), alcohol abuse, and only drinking carbonated drinks will dehydrate everything and breakdown collagen and elastin in the body. These activities affect oxygenation, circulation, and can age you drastically.

[@msdestineemonae]

Thank you for your expertise! 💯

[@TessaBriggs-t7e]

Yep and those carbonated drinks of any kind also takes the calcium out of your bones and teeth making them brittle. I have to remind myself of this because I'm addicted to those Izze sparkling juice drinks 😔

I just love you Nina!!! You just keep it real. No matter the topic, you always see big sis (especially the HS journey)🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

Yes, sis! I try to keep it real!

[@MissKimLifeStyle]

I like Factor meals too. Self care for me is walking for an hour on my walking pad. I do that twice a day. Reading in bed is self care. Browsing my favorite stores to look at home decor, smell fragrances, and look at books is also self care to me. I can’t wait to read your book. 📖

[@reereep9334]

Hunter is so cute. I was going to try Factor. I am so glad you reviewed it, I will use your code and order starting Monday.

I have added a new weekend Habbit. I focus on getting fruit in so on Saturday and Sunday morning I have been making a healthy smoothie. I have also been making sure to add fresh vegetables to my lunch plate on the weekends. Definitely been enjoying do a little more to care for myself. Thank you for sharing these practical self-care tips Dr. Nina. Love the Mom- Cation for you. I am learning to stop throwing away free time, like when I have an unexpected day off, don't rush to fill it. 💜💜💜

[@TessaBriggs-t7e]

Im just getting back on my self care and health journey after various things in life knocked me down temporarily. It's been a struggle but I'm slowly getting my eating back on track and getting in more exercise. My self care now is a good sweaty workout followed by a nice hot shower with my favorite essential oils to wind down ☺️

[@francerhodes7284]

Girl you hit the nail head. I'm changing and evolving. At the old senior age. People are falling off my radar. People find a catch phrase and were you out with the dumbest of things. Following you for a while. Girl you have me showing me the light. Thank you.

[@Pretzelgal]

❤ It's about time someone pulls back on all these insane self care products that simply encourage people to spend unconsciously. It's time to remember: Everything ain't for everybody.

[@brittanyrenee713]

Today was everything ❤ I went to the butterfly museum and had a peaceful time ❤😊 Dr. Nina, I've been following for quite some time! Now I'm Dr. Brittany as of last week! Look at God!

[@ivyvinetv161]

❤ Great points as always, Dr. Nina!

[@tiliciafraser5014]

Sleeping is my favorite self care activity ❤

[@jessdescriptive524]

Exactly. The videos I see are self maintenance. Not self care. My self care a month ago was doing nothing all day but watching tv and taking a hot bath. It was a lil nerve wrecking as a mom to relax but at the same time, I enjoyed doing nothing.

I use facial products from the dollar tree. They do fine for me. I've noticed a change. Dark marks and clearer skin. I definitely need to stop buying things just because I think they're cute or thinking I'm going to use them. ❤

[@keyshajones1866]

Hello Dr. Nina I love watching your videos. Because it like listening to friend who trying to help you with some good advice. I smile when you said sometime you rent a hotel room to relax and sleep. I thought about but dismiss the idea because I feel funny traveling along. But you are so right a couple days ago I call my credit union transfer some out check account into my savings. I planing on saving enough money hoping to traveling to another country or go to a nice hotel room. Thank girl for all that you do

[@El-Hayyay]

Self-Care for me is spending time with God 1st thing as I awaken, so He can direct my steps ALL thru the day, then making sure after 7pm I wind down to my nightly routine, no emails, no calls. To Journal, read, relax until I meet my Lord & Saviour Christ Jesus in prayer & say THANK YOU 4 ALL You allowed to take place as I prepare for my beauty rest!
