[@kisabel028]

I never used to put sunscreen on when indoors b/c I thought it wasn’t needed. I started watching your retinol videos a few weeks ago and now I put on sunscreen EVERYDAY and throughout the day, whether I’m inside or not. Thank you for sharing this info!!

[@kamikahicks1270]

I have tried so many products to "lighten" my hyper-pigmentation which worked, but my skin would get worse every time I stopped using the products. Because of you I stopped wearing makeup, and started a super simple skin care regime with three products. The biggest thing that helped my skin is truly sunscreen. People have even told me that is looks like I have on foundation because of how clear and even my skin looks. It took about 4-6 months for me to achieve this. I'm glad I watched this video today, because my sunscreen is only mineral based only. So hopefully soon I can purchase a sunscreen with oxide's in it as well so it can benefit my skin more. Thank you Dr. Dray! I love your channel so much!

[@NoelleEve72]

Thanks so much, Dr. Dray! Because of you I became an avid sunscreen user and at 47 my skin looks better and more even toned and way less "spotty" than it did 5 years ago.

Your advice has been incredibly helpful for me. I have significant melasma on my face. I live in the UK so not much sun and so didn’t see the need for sunscreen. I now apply sunscreen daily despite rarely being in outside sun. It’s faded the melasma by about 50%. Thank you.

[@DoctorAnne]

So grateful to live in Europe where it is easy to get the modern filters.

[@kaori17az]

I love how well Dr. Dray explains. She organizes the information in manner that it is easy to understand. Edit: I've followed her advice of wearing tinted sunscreen since January and my dark spots are fading. It is a slow process but it is working.

[@ClarkyWarky]

I'm a 4 on the scale and was a beach bum throughout my early 20's... after I stopped tanning I realized how bad my skin was under the tan! Hyperpigmentation Marks from teenage acne, a few dark spots and slight melasma on my cheeks that I never noticed because I always tanned! 😭 I'm a year and a half into my clear skin journey, my texture is great and cleared up about 85% of my hyperpigmentation thanks to DR.DRAY! 💖

Hey Dr. Dray! Would you consider doing an updated video on ingrown hair treatments and the difference between waxing and shaving your bikini area? Bikini season is upon us and I almost always get ingrown hairs :(

[@vandab.2242]

Hey I'm dark end of IV on the scale and have a fragrance allergy. I've found that No7 formulations work great for me as they have iron oxides and are fragrance free. Definitely seen an improvement in dark marks fading and not forming so much. I layer moisturiser, then Altruist SPF 30 beforehand. Works a treat. Based in the UK btw. Thanks for all your helpful videos, I wouldn't have been able to build an effective skincare regimen without you. My facial skin is the best it's ever been!

So envious of your beautiful skin. Up until a few weeks ago, I wore heavy, full coverage foundation due to sum damage. Now I use lighter coverage or powder. I notice that many women have also followed this better trend. You continue to educate and influence so many. Thank you so much.

[@rachel4644]

If you are staying indoors for the day, how often should you be ideally reapplying sunscreen? Your skin looks amazing!

[@PassionPno]

Just apply 30 mins before going out. However, if you're sitting near a window, you'll need to reapply every 3 to 4 hours.

[@honeybadgernasty]

In addition to sunscreen and sunglasses, I will forever wear my coronavirus mask as my opaque dressing. I no longer mind wearing it.

[@PassionPno]

Hahaha... I wear those Japanese Pitta brand mask whenever I'm out and about even before this whole Covid-19 pandemic as it offers UV protection. I don't care what people think of me.

[@13janvi]

What about maskne though 😩😩

[@janette6]

I'd also be interested to learn about the UV levels in artificial lighting. Whilst working in retail (in stores with zero natural light) I observed how the color would fade relatively quickly from any items situated near or directly under the strong commercial overhead lights in store.

Also, OLED technology emits about 50% less blue light than LCD. Aside from OLED looking better than LCD and other panels, another good reason to use it (OLED is used in things from cell phones, TV's, and laptops.)

[@zachm7595]

I’m Australian and I love this 2XP spf50 zinc and chemical filter based tinted moisturiser. It’s the best I’ve ever tried that isn’t too expensive or oily. I believe a lot of Australian spf is good quality because our therapeutic goods association is so stringent with regulations and know the importance of sun protection in our harsh sun and cooked ozone down here.

[@scatteredseedsofhappiness3285]

You look absolutely beautiful today! Thank you for all that you do for us. Have a great weekend! 😊

My guess is that this is true, but that most blue light is from sun not devices. I'm a type 1 so I don't deal with this, but I love to learn so I'll keep listening.

Hi Dr.Dray! :) What is the difference between the sun’s visible blue light and the blue light used for acne treatment? Is it the same? And if so, would there be increased risk for hyperpigmentation if using it to treat your acne?

I am confused about this harmful blue light and the blue LED light therapy for acne. Why one blue light is bad and the other is good? Also, for infrared light. You mentioned infrared light is good for wrinkles and better than the red LED light, but also in another video you mention infrared light ages skin because of heat, and you gave the example of the old arms of bakers. Btw I love your videos and you have been helpful to me a lot! Thank you!!

Suprisingly nobody talks about this. We are using so many producst that already make us x100 more sensible to sun light and STILL we dont use opaque dressing. I dont mind applying these white sunscreen at home I even live in a sunny place and these days I been waking up at 5 am to apply sunscreen before the sun hits throw my windows then go to sleep again In my skincare lol. Never gonna let that marks in again.

[@paquitaelmaestro1576]

So glad to get those details I’m Fitzpatrick IV, I have hyperpigmentation problems even when I’m not breaking out 😓

[@evelynw3268]

Hi Dr Dray, I found this extremely helpful. I’m Asian, quite fair, but always suffered with pie and pih. Though I only have occasional breakouts but the bumps stay small and red without opening. They take a long time for the white pus to appear and take another long time for the pus to finally come off by itself even if I apply bha diligently. I never pick on them as I don’t want pitted scar, but it still left flat red marks after they healed. To make things worse, the formation of new red marks are faster than fading of the existing ones. So u can imagine my cheeks and chin filled with tiny red dots or small red patches. I don’t like to wear sunscreen when I’m home so I always rolled down my blind to prevent sunlight coming through window, but Im in front of computer screens, long hours and everyday. And I recently realised that whenever I cover the marks with a blemish cream that contain zinc oxide, the marks/patches weren’t as red as before. U mentioned the opaque dressing in your video… is that like a sun patch that Koreans like to wear when they golf? Or simply any opaque dressing? And do I still need to wear zinc oxide physical sunscreen under the dressing? Thank you!

Hi Dr Dray. I would like to ask you to speak about a correlation between ingredients in skin care products and retail prices, especially when it comes to cheaper products. Does a very low price of a store brand product mean a lower quality product? Thank you for your great advice on skin care! Greetings from Europe

[@amixeblu]

I think it depends product to product. You always need to go through the ingredients' list. Just as there are cheap(er) products that suck, there are expensive products that suck. Just as there are cheap(er) products that are amazing there are expensive products that are amazing. It depends!

I realized lately, my father told me that my Mom, despite over 60 years old, is being complimented on how her skin looks good and glowing. It was basically because she's putting sunscreen, like EVERYDAY.

Her sunscreen is a combination of moisturizer too, with a decent SPF of 30.

Is it good enough to just use any product with iron oxides or is the amount very important? I always see iron oxides listed as the last ingredient so I assume it’s minimal in amount.
