ye23 I use a sunscreen from the brand Evy technologies, it’s a Swedish based brand. It’s formulated for those with eczema, acne and sun sensitive skin. I really like it, it’s a mousse formula, so it feels lightweight. I don’t know if it have been introduced to any international markets yet.
A C thank you! I will. I just almost gave up on sunscreens because they all break me out. The only one that doesn’t is the vaseline moisturizer that has spf 15 which i’ve been using for years. but the spf is not strong enough
Uthsavi Gowda I agree! I’d like to see her skin care routine as well! So far she is the only person I’ve seen that does not like retinol as an anti-aging step. I have been so in the fence about adding it to my routine, just bought some and now back on the fence.
She doesn't use retinol. She'll opt for prescription strength tretinoin and consistent use of sunscreen, both of which are the most evidence-based strategies to slow/prevent skin aging.
@@savanahlear990 I know! I've been using a retinol with squalane since October and I am happy with it. I started it specifically for the collagen production, as well as reducing pigmentation left over from acne. It's so confusing when you hear two totally different opinions from two professionals on the same product.
She has her own skin care line. That might also be a reason. Retinol/retin A is something to be used to correct visible damage that's already been done (after not practicing good skin care over the years) because the side effects can last a while.
One of the many skincare trends is to "shave your face", removing dead skin cells and peach fuzz. How does this effect the skin's natural protection barrier? Can this be more harmful than we think it is?
Shaving is a form of exfoliation. So do apply your skincare routine and sunscreen afterwards. Men have been shaving their faces for decades, you aren't going to harm your skin.
I have sensitive skin - it reacts to rubbing, many different fragrance chemicals, certain sunscreen ingredients, several chemicals that are often present in high amounts in skin care (e.g: propanediol) and more. I shave my face. As long as I cleanse before and after, use a clean facial razor and moisturize after, my skin is totally fine. I've had a damaged skin barrier before - fixed it about 7 years ago, and shaving doesn't really affect it
I have done this years, and I haven't noticed anything negative. I do it in the morning in the shower, I use a gentle, soap-free, fragrance-free cleanser as my "shaving cream", and use only a one blade razor. Once I jump out of the shower, I then apply a fragrance-free cream all over my face while it is still wet. I don't use any active ingredients in the morning on my skin. If I feel like I am a bit "irritated", I'll skip a day or two. I think the key is to work your routine around the shaving, and give your skin a rest if it needs it. I think ideally doing it at night before bed would be good, it gives your skin a chance to recover. But I use tretinoin at night so I cannot.
I feel it can be problematic yeah. You would need sterile supplies, a very gentle touch, the right supplies for supporting your skin afterwards and sunscreen deffinately. The thing is, is that you are working with blades and they cause microteares in your skin. Btw the growing back thicker is a fairytail, but you can get bumps and the hair wont feel as soft anymore. Thats a big reason why I chose not to do this. Also the hair does not all grow at the same time. That happens in stages, so that might mean u have to even shave daily because the hairs will look darker because they havent been lit up by the sun yet. Personally I wont do this and just work on arias where needed with an exfoliant and a pincet. The hairs pulled out means also a longer lasting before it returns. Hope this helps.

Kim Mendes, personally, I can’t trust a dermatologist who believes you can get vitamin D through your sunscreen. The medical literature says your body needs UVB rays (the same ones sunscreen blocks) to synthesize vitamin D. So if you’re not getting it in your diet, you have to let your body make it naturally.
@@hotjanuary what medical literature did you read? can you give us a citation? And just because she says sunscreen or sunblock blocks UVB, it doesn't necessarily mean 100% blockage. There are still some UVBs that will hit your skin tissue despite wearing sunblock or sunscreen and these can help trigger the synthesis of previtamin D3. Anyways, I would definitely trust her more than someone who claims to have read medical literature without having any formal education about dermatology.
I'm really passionate about my skin and my routine and products. And these videos make me even more passionate. I really enjoy them! I love how every doctor has a different approach and different advice because we are all different and skin is a very individual and personal thing.
*See a video of a dermatologist* "EVERYONE SHOULD USE RETINOL. " *Buys retinol* *Watch another dermatologist video* " YOU DONT NEED a retinol, is BAD for the skin" *CRIES*
I have used Retin A RX for many years....my skin looks 15yrs younger than my age...BUT you must really really your sunscreen it makes you much more prone to sunburn and this damage I presume....so always always protect your face...I,live in the tropics so,wear hats constantly in addition to sunscreen.
She doesn't use retinol. She'll opt for prescription strength tretinoin and consistent use of sunscreen, both of which are the most evidence-based strategies to slow/prevent skin aging. Retinol ≠ Tretinoin/Retin A
I LOOVEE HER, She talk's slow, so I really understood everything, the other derms talk very fast, and I have to process these scientific facts and terms quicker. I loved the sunscreen part, wish it was longer
Amber, sunscreen blocks UV rays. This means UVB rays (the wavelength needed for the vitamin D chemical reaction to happen) aren’t entering the body. Therefore, your body is not producing vitamin D. Hence, sunscreen doesn’t help in vitamin D production. It hinders vit D production. She’s also perpetuating a myth about physical sunscreens. Only about 5%-10% of the rays are reflected. The rest of them are absorbed and converted before they can reach your skin and do damage, just like in chemical sunscreens.
My God, she is so well informed. She has an answer for everything and you can see that she is confident in her knowledge and she doesn’t stumbles over her words, she hardly says um, uh like anyone normally would. i am in love with this woman.
This was awesome. Glad she touched on retinol, because some of us have been desperately wanting to use it, but found it way too harsh. I am concerned about the story of apple cider vinegar on skin cancer... Seriously, people? 😕
I didnt have very harsh reaction to retinol but I get why You say that. Retinol is supposed to work that way You mentioned, it makes face puffy, red, peeling etc because it literally forces skin to regenerate. It is a "worse before better" situation so it needs a commitment. By the way retinol can be used every 2 day at the beginning for example if every day use is too much. Also retinol should be used in winter season because then You really want to avoid too much sun and SPF is a complete must. We don't want aby skin cancer here 😉 I am curious if there is some other option too 🙂
I love this series and I already love her ❤️ she looks amazing, skin cancer is way more command than you think, a family member got skin cancer here in San Diego California (yes it's mostly very sunny like today and we're in winter) and had 8 surgery's before it finally went away...so guys use you're SPF.
She probably does the lot, including collagen stimulating laser. That's what all the over 35 actresses do. You can look stunning for a long time if you've got the money.
danky yanky she is just stating the fact of the matter! There’s no shame in the game! We’re all going through the same struggle of slowly dying and fading away, and trying to preserve as much of what is familiar to ourselves!
danky yanky the reality is the amount of time and money and energy our favorite public figures and high fashion models, and celebrities, etc ... do have an unfair advantage because most of them don’t talk about their lifestyle style and many assume they are staying hot with the same routine
His is one of the best dermatologist reacts on this channel. Protecting yourself from the sun is one of the biggest preventative maintenance things we can do for ourselves, at least in my opinion. I used to spend tons of time in the sun or tan and not use sunscreen and i have burned A LOT and have scars on my back an shoulders from it and i regret it. I don’t know if they are actual scars but i have a lot of dark brown spots and everything from it.
Hearing a professional say that you should use a cleanser that's "very chemical free" really pisses me off! What does it even mean?! Every skincare product contains chemicals, AHAs are chemicals, HA is a chemical, water is a freaking chemical, EVERYTHING IS A FREAKING CHEMICAL! Edit: her chemistry is really off omg
When most people talk about chemicals, they are referring to those that are artificially synthesized in labs. Since this is the norm, and she’s talking to such a wide audience, that is probably what she is referring to. I’m sure she knows that water is a molecular compound.
@@gldnkltz101 okay but imagine somebody who doesn't know much about skincare is being told to use a cleanser with no chemicals in it, what is he supposed to do? Especially in cleansers ingredients tend to have chemical sounding names or whatever, so this person would bot be able to find something that she refers to as chemical free. She could have simply said what ingredients to avoid, or which ones to use but she decided that saying chemical free was enough, which in my opinion is highly misinfotmational. If you are not a chemist you don't know which ingredients are made in a lab and which are not. Edit: also saying chemical free, natural etc. encourages people to go all natural or even only make things at home which could be risky, while many chemicals are actually safer because they have been tested by experts and have been formulated properly.
Also her explanation of the two types of sunscreens was WAY off. Physical sunscreen reflecting UV is a myth. Watch LabMuffins video on it. Here’s the study: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/phpp.12214
I never wash my face in the mornings as I always cleanse well at night (with a gentle, sulfate-free, soap-free foaming cleanser from LRP), and i’m relieved to know this isn’t a bad thing to do!!
She's wrong at 7:28. Mineral sunscreen filters work almost exactly the same as chemical ones, they only 'bounce' off about 5% of the rays. They absorb the rest and covert it to heat just like non-mineral filters.
This is a relatively new finding so it is understandable that she might not have been aware of. Here is the link to the study if anyone is interested onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/phpp.12214
I think derms like to speak from their training. I was also a little surprised when she said that. But I guess there's been a lot of more research done since she was in med school
I love everything about this woman but I cannot agree that using a tinted moisturizer w/spf 30 is enough. You don’t use the same amount of tint as required for full spf 30 maximum protection (at least 1 teaspoon on the face) & I think it’s a must to use SPF 50+++ preferably mineral based under makeup EVERY DAY for true protection.
Exactly ! I was concerned that a dermatologist like her used that term , it took a lot of scrolling down the comment section to see someone mention it !
Her skincare line is also suspiciously full of essential oils, which are known irritants, on the guise of being "synthetic fragrance free". I would expect better from a dermatologist!
Sacha which proves that not all of them are when used at the right dosage like many studies have confirmed it on reputable public databases like Pubmed. She’s just a board certified dermatologist but also a surgeon specializing in skin cancer, she’s also behind more than 100 studies but what does she know?
Oh my god I love this SO much Many good points. Especially about over-cleansing. I have people telling me off for not cleansing my face in the morning. I do my big skin care routine before bed. When I wake up, my skin is so nice, soft and calm. I don't want to disturb that, so I just leave it. I don't get breakouts or anything. Saves me time, too
ParadiseLost this is so me. A morning routine disturbs my skin. If my skin needs it I will just pat a light moisturizer and lightweight sunscreen. I am still trying to figure out the sunscreens because they do cause me to break out.
Nope. Smearing water around your face with no cleanser doesn't really do anything, it just dries your skin out. Mind you, I live in Scandinavia! It's freezing here. I can imagine if you live in a warmer climate, you maybe sweat when you sleep. In that case I would wash my face in the morning. I also have a very dirty job (I work on a cow farm), so my face gets dirty right from the start. So I wash my face after work, not before. I don't have problems with acne.
THANK YOU!!! I hate retinols as well. My dermatologist prescribed them as a teenager. After about 6 months of use, my skin was clear, but getting there was a struggle. I NEVER want to go through that again!!!
I'm a Fitzpatrick 4-5, native American, oily, acneic skin, and I love an oil cleanser as my first cleanse. I think they're life changing. Then a specialized cleanser as my second. I have so many cleansers and always pick what I feel my skin needs. Master esthetician and barber in the state of Washington.
She is so incredibly beautiful! I do not understand the appeal of all these hyper-filtered Instagram influencers that are so devoid of substance and superficial...to me this is beauty...natural and graceful with a great personality.
She isn't a self proclaimed skin expert guru with 1M followers but not scientific background but a board-certified dermatologist who understands the chemistry of natural ingredients (the first drugs were created from natural ingredients and today's drugs still mimick natural ingredients molecules). I follow a skincare formulator with a Phd in chemistry and she loves natural ingredients as well because she knows both synthetic and natural ingredients can be effective.
@@Candyp971 wdym by natural ingredients? bc there are plant extracts like honey that have a lot of benefits for your skin, but shes basically talking about putting food on your face
@@aries158 yes and food when it's healthy is what nourishes the body's cells, it has minerals and vitamins, enzymes, proteins, PH balancing factors that protects the organs by chemical reactions in a synergistic way so nothing crazy here.
There are some eye masks that are not as bad for the environment, you can dissolve them and use them as a serum after use, but its the exception, not the rule. Most of them are bad
There are quite a few powder spfs that are made for reapplying .. specifically because of makeup ..I think the most known is colorscience ? They're definitely not cheap lol. I think I'm going to use a tinted SPF and powder to reapply during the day. ^^
D C isn’t it amazing how much life stress ages us 💀 I gave birth, about to divorce my narcissistic husband, all in one year, and I’ve aged at least five years 🤣 god awful
I'm so glad you mentioned the eye cream. I'm 49 years old with dry skin but oily t-zone. My under eyes are dry and at times dehydrated so I do use a separate eye cream to hydrate my under eyes and I use all my fingers to gently massage the cream into my skin.
Oh thanks for clarifying how to use eye cream! I have been confused about it for decades apparently. I have never put it all the way because I read somewhere to dab around the rim of the eye area which never felt adequate! Now I will try your way :-)
@@glaciergang no there aren't, honey is made of chemicals too f.e., natural is a marketing tactic to get people to believe in the whole natural is better craze and pay more for often more irritating formulations
Daphnia 96 the comedogenic rating system is subjective (human skin isn’t equal to rabbit ears, everyone’s skin is different). whatever works for you is what works! i think it’s important to note going slow and paying attention is important & micelles water is to be washed off.
Get enough sleep,. Eat lots of veges and make sure you are getting enough iron, zinc and vitamin D etc. Drink lots of water. And don't stress about all the Dermatologist advice and your skin will look great 😁
I can't afford that much sunscreen! Plus in NZ it was recently revealed that most of the best selling sunscreens aren't actually living up to the claims they make.
The importance of sunscreen cannot be overstated. Sunscreen can ultimately be more cost-effective than painful procedures for removing photodamage and possibly skin cancer.☀Seeking shade and wearing appropriate clothing can be a helpful tip for protecting you skin. :)
Could you be more specific as to the anti-aging ingredients you recommend? You mentioned peptides but which type of products specifically would match the strength of retinol? You mentioned anti-inflammatories and things for the microbiome but I'm not sure what you're referring to. Thanks!
i know peter thomas roth has a moisturizer & eye cream that is aimed at maintaining a health microbiome (pre/pro biotic situation) along with biossance.
I hear this myth over and over and over again, the truth is that physical and chemical sunscreens work the same way (in fact they are both chemicals). The only difference is that physical or inorganic sunscreens reflect 5% of UVA/UVB rays, the other 95% is processed the same way as chemical sunscreens. Re micellar water, I can’t leave it on my skin (I use Bioderma) as it begins to itch, sting and go red and I consider my skin to be pretty tough or non-reactive. Michelle from Lab Muffin Beauty says you can leave it on too, she recommends Bioderma, but I just can’t.
I would love to see this derm talk more about what products/ingredients besides retinoids that are good for "anti-aging". I have dry skin and am only 23 so I feel like I don't need anti-aging products yet, but I'd like to start "anti-aging" products by my late 20s and I feel like retinoids would be too strong. I like this derm because her advice is a good mix between straight forward and informative!
a non comedogenic oil on damp skin or a moisturizer like Flower & Spice rose and coriander moisturizing cream (I'm not the founder and I don't work for her but her formulas are effective and natural)
I have very sensitive skin on the drier side and have found low concentration retinol to be fine. Make sure it is a retinOL, which is the mildest retinoid, and the lowest percentage you can find. RetinAL is stronger, and prescription products like tretinoin are the strongest. I started with a retinol moisturiser, which are usually low concentration, and I'm thinking of trying a 0.16% or 0.2% retinol serum next. I'm also in my 20s just trying to prevent, so I have no hurry to go for the strong stuff. Derms actually say using products too strong that cause flaking and irritation do more harm than good. Because my skin is so sensitive, I actually couldn’t use the moisturiser every day, and I definitely needed another moisturiser under it, so I used the retinol moisturiser as a low concentration “serum” in my routine. I think some people can just slap it on every night right away, because it’s so low concentration? I just used it on a few nights, my skin felt a bit more sensitive, so I took a break and then only used it again after my skin felt back to normal, and repeated. In a few weeks I was able to use it most nights, I probably take a break every 5-6 days, so about once a week. Instead of a schedule like “use it every other night” or something, it was easier for me to just look at how my skin felt and looked. First sign of flaking or irritation, time for a break! Only use retinol when your skin feels good, never on flaky or irritated skin. And a good moisturiser before of after retinol. I use moisturiser before so there’s a small layer of protection under the retinol slowing down the absorption. Of course you don’t have to use it, but I just wanted to say it doesn’t have to so scary as the prescription strength ones are. The low concentration moisturiser has made a difference on my skin! My skin was never bad, but it has still cleared up more :) Most dermatologists say the best anti-aging product is sunscreen and the second best are retinoids, so definitely use sunscreen even if you don’t want to try retinol!
Peas and carrots!! This was a super deep dive on sunscreen! I am surprised there wasn't a discussion on the difference between sunscreen and sun block. I do believe eye cream is a waste of money. However, it depends on what you want your eye cream to do. If you want to use an eye cream for dark circles, puffy eyes, wrinkles, vs. hydration, soothing, calming then I say buy the over-the-counter pricey jar for the former. Use at home remedies for soothing and calming. A cold cucumber and chamomile tea bag can do wonders. Dr. Marmur was a really cool dermatologist!
Did a Dermatologist just use the term "chemical free" at 14:14? No. And I mean NO! There is no such thing as chemical free. Air is made of chemicals. Water, H2O, is a chemical. She should know better.
I was a little surprised that Dr. Marmur didn't mention the concept of a double cleanse when talking about oil cleansers. She said "one or the other." Shouldn't you basically always follow an oil cleanse with a water-based cleanser?
This is so true, they all seem to be the same shade of orangy beige. As a pretty fair skinned girl, I even have trouble finding foundation, but finding the right shade of bb cream or cc cream or any tinted moisturizer is impossible.
Clara Schneider that’s not true. Have you tried Nars pure radiant tinted moisturizer? They have many shades from very fair to dark skin tones. Bioderma sensibio with spf 50 has also light shade.
Hold up though: I was with her until she said using homemade products INCLUDING COCONUT OIL. Coconut oil is highly comedogenic (clogs pores) and I've never ever heard of a dermatologist or aesthetician who would recommend putting it on your face. It can be helpful for the body and hair but certainly not the face.
I have never heard a derma that didn't mock the false comedogenicity ratings placed on oils. Comedogenicity trials that ranked coconut and other oils was not based on human skin. Almost every derm recommends oil cleansing unless you are fighting fungal acne..
susanne anique Agreed, the science behind the comedogenic scale in general isn’t reliable, but coconut oil in and of itself is known to be pore clogging. At least to the extent that recommending it broadly, to people who could be acne-prone, is problematic. And even though it could be fine for an individual, I don’t see why you’d need to make that rec when there are oils/oil products out there that are just as if not more effective and less likely to cause breakouts. Totally agree about oil cleansing, but that doesn’t specifically require coconut oil
Elta MD is commonly recomend by dermatologists. But that doesn't mean its going to work for YOU unfortunately. :(( At least you can save some of your money and find a more affordable product:)))
I’ve started to take sunscreen more seriously. I’ve always worn it but nowadays, I wear sunscreen and then use a primer with SPF in it and wear a BB cream with SPF in it. There are some makeup powders and bronzers with SPF in them so I like using those as well. We will see how this pays off in 2-5 years! 🙏🏻
Yesss i hate retinol and i have friends who trying to get "used" to retinol when her skin clearly cant handle it. I used korean essence for my anti aging and its great
Then they’re using it incorrectly. Skin CAN get used to things, but it sounds like they’re either putting on too high of a strength, putting it on when skin is still wet (need about half an hour to be fully dry), they’re not adding a moisturizer underneath as a protective layer, ect.
She's gorgeous, she's informative, she's soft spoken. She's perfect. We need her lifestyle routine!

Anyways, I would definitely trust her more than someone who claims to have read medical literature without having any formal education about dermatology.
Listening to her is like hearing an educational ASMR video. Great voice.
Please come back and talk about other anti-aging options ! That would be amazing.
I'm really passionate about my skin and my routine and products. And these videos make me even more passionate. I really enjoy them! I love how every doctor has a different approach and different advice because we are all different and skin is a very individual and personal thing.
*See a video of a dermatologist* "EVERYONE SHOULD USE RETINOL. "
*Buys retinol*
*Watch another dermatologist video* " YOU DONT NEED a retinol, is BAD for the skin"
*CRIES*
Retinol is not bad for your skin, it could be pretty irritating for your skin at first but that’s it. it’s just not for everyone.
I have used Retin A RX for many years....my skin looks 15yrs younger than my age...BUT you must really really your sunscreen it makes you much more prone to sunburn and this damage I presume....so always always protect your face...I,live in the tropics so,wear hats constantly in addition to sunscreen.
She doesn't use retinol. She'll opt for prescription strength tretinoin and consistent use of sunscreen, both of which are the most evidence-based strategies to slow/prevent skin aging. Retinol ≠ Tretinoin/Retin A
Have you seen the 70 year old UA-camrs that have been 20 years on retinol??? Sometimes doctors don't k ow they are talking about.
@@dimasgrey Retinol and Retin A: Google images, retinol vs Retin A chemical structure. Same thing.
So elegant and graceful with great tips.
I LOOVEE HER, She talk's slow, so I really understood everything, the other derms talk very fast, and I have to process these scientific facts and terms quicker. I loved the sunscreen part, wish it was longer
She doesn’t know what she’s talking about. She’s studied skin pathology, not chemistry. Her info about sunscreen and vitamin D is wrong.
@@hotjanuary you're dumb, watch Lab Muffin Beauty Science, she has a phd in chemistry, fking plebs can't even use google properly to fact check
@@hotjanuary Please explain why this is wrong info?
Amber, sunscreen blocks UV rays. This means UVB rays (the wavelength needed for the vitamin D chemical reaction to happen) aren’t entering the body. Therefore, your body is not producing vitamin D. Hence, sunscreen doesn’t help in vitamin D production. It hinders vit D production.
She’s also perpetuating a myth about physical sunscreens. Only about 5%-10% of the rays are reflected. The rest of them are absorbed and converted before they can reach your skin and do damage, just like in chemical sunscreens.
I love this woman! She's so kind and informative. Wonderful demeanor. I envy her patients :)
My God, she is so well informed. She has an answer for everything and you can see that she is confident in her knowledge and she doesn’t stumbles over her words, she hardly says um, uh like anyone normally would. i am in love with this woman.
wow... this is seriously the most informative video i have watched on youtube. this has answered SO MANY questions ive had lol
This was an incredibly helpful version of Derm Reacts. She did a wonderful job explaining concepts while being respectful of the people & commentary.
Dr. Ellen Marmur's skincare routine plz.
she has her own skincare line
She looks and talks like she could easily fit into the royal family .
Gloria ikr. She has that aura lmao
Gloria Hell yes, unlike Me gain Markle.
French Classes from LogicLanguageLearning 😂
No
@@logiclanguagelearningFrench why doesn't she fit in
She kinda reminds me of Gal Gadot when she smiles.
Erik Yes! Good eye
If she had brown hair, she would definitely look like her sister
She reminds me of Ellen Pompeo
Yes. I also think so
I need her to do an ASMR video, she´s so smooth-talking I almost fell asleep but kept myself awake cause I wanna get all that skincare knowledge!
Can I just say that you're the prettiest dermatologist I have ever seen so far? 💙
This was awesome. Glad she touched on retinol, because some of us have been desperately wanting to use it, but found it way too harsh. I am concerned about the story of apple cider vinegar on skin cancer... Seriously, people? 😕
I didnt have very harsh reaction to retinol but I get why You say that. Retinol is supposed to work that way You mentioned, it makes face puffy, red, peeling etc because it literally forces skin to regenerate. It is a "worse before better" situation so it needs a commitment. By the way retinol can be used every 2 day at the beginning for example if every day use is too much. Also retinol should be used in winter season because then You really want to avoid too much sun and SPF is a complete must. We don't want aby skin cancer here 😉 I am curious if there is some other option too 🙂
D. M. K. Is retinol bad for eczema?
I NEED to see your skin regimen doc!! Please show us what u use and what you do.
she has her own skincare lin,e all I did was google it
I love this series and I already love her ❤️ she looks amazing, skin cancer is way more command than you think, a family member got skin cancer here in San Diego California (yes it's mostly very sunny like today and we're in winter) and had 8 surgery's before it finally went away...so guys use you're SPF.
Wow...she is so classy ✨❤
SHE IS SO NICE! I COULD LISTEN TO HER FOREVER!
is it a requirement for all female dermatologists to be really beautiful and elegant and classy?
She is so humble and soft spoken. I liked listening to her
The skin on her face is FLAWLESS. Wow, now this is how I want to age! Beautiful woman.
She probably does the lot, including collagen stimulating laser. That's what all the over 35 actresses do. You can look stunning for a long time if you've got the money.
@@SincerityJ so what lmao
danky yanky she is just stating the fact of the matter! There’s no shame in the game! We’re all going through the same struggle of slowly dying and fading away, and trying to preserve as much of what is familiar to ourselves!
danky yanky the reality is the amount of time and money and energy our favorite public figures and high fashion models, and celebrities, etc ... do have an unfair advantage because most of them don’t talk about their lifestyle style and many assume they are staying hot with the same routine
His is one of the best dermatologist reacts on this channel. Protecting yourself from the sun is one of the biggest preventative maintenance things we can do for ourselves, at least in my opinion. I used to spend tons of time in the sun or tan and not use sunscreen and i have burned A LOT and have scars on my back an shoulders from it and i regret it. I don’t know if they are actual scars but i have a lot of dark brown spots and everything from it.
When you forget theres other dermatologists on UA-cam bc you're so used to watching Dr. Dray
Cruella De Vil She’s the only one I need. ☺️
Sam R totally agree, a doctor that isn’t in practice isn’t a doctor in my books.
Coolbabymama Dr dray doesn’t practice anymore? Mmm 🤔
She gives much better, more relevant and scientifically proven advice so I'd stick with dr.dray..This derm has some wacky ideas..
@Sam R This doctor recommends DIYs, coconut oil, and "no chemical" cleansers. Yeah, pretty wacky.
Hearing a professional say that you should use a cleanser that's "very chemical free" really pisses me off! What does it even mean?! Every skincare product contains chemicals, AHAs are chemicals, HA is a chemical, water is a freaking chemical, EVERYTHING IS A FREAKING CHEMICAL!
Edit: her chemistry is really off omg
Laura Molteni ikr so disappointing
When most people talk about chemicals, they are referring to those that are artificially synthesized in labs. Since this is the norm, and she’s talking to such a wide audience, that is probably what she is referring to. I’m sure she knows that water is a molecular compound.
@@gldnkltz101 okay but imagine somebody who doesn't know much about skincare is being told to use a cleanser with no chemicals in it, what is he supposed to do? Especially in cleansers ingredients tend to have chemical sounding names or whatever, so this person would bot be able to find something that she refers to as chemical free. She could have simply said what ingredients to avoid, or which ones to use but she decided that saying chemical free was enough, which in my opinion is highly misinfotmational. If you are not a chemist you don't know which ingredients are made in a lab and which are not.
Edit: also saying chemical free, natural etc. encourages people to go all natural or even only make things at home which could be risky, while many chemicals are actually safer because they have been tested by experts and have been formulated properly.
Also her explanation of the two types of sunscreens was WAY off. Physical sunscreen reflecting UV is a myth. Watch LabMuffins video on it.
Here’s the study: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/phpp.12214
EXACTLY!! It pissed me off so much. Even water is a chemical
"Self-Care is Healthcare" Yaass
Can I just say, she's my favourite derm of them all. ❤️
I never wash my face in the mornings as I always cleanse well at night (with a gentle, sulfate-free, soap-free foaming cleanser from LRP), and i’m relieved to know this isn’t a bad thing to do!!
I wish the youtubers would take notes of this lady's way of speaking, her softness and elegance etc... she is amazing!
Such a pleasant voice and demeanor!
More videos with Dr Marmur!!! She's informative and elegant!!! We need more of her in this channel!!!
She's wrong at 7:28. Mineral sunscreen filters work almost exactly the same as chemical ones, they only 'bounce' off about 5% of the rays. They absorb the rest and covert it to heat just like non-mineral filters.
Thanks for the info!
Adam Woods thanks for pointing that out!
This is a relatively new finding so it is understandable that she might not have been aware of. Here is the link to the study if anyone is interested onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/phpp.12214
Exactly!!!....a lot of bull they will tell you.
I think derms like to speak from their training. I was also a little surprised when she said that. But I guess there's been a lot of more research done since she was in med school
Love her so so so much!! Yes to simple and gentle skincare!
I CANT BELIEVE IM IN THIS, THANK U FOR FINALLY ANSWERING!
Love these videos. What a pleasant Dr to watch.
I love everything about this woman but I cannot agree that using a tinted moisturizer w/spf 30 is enough. You don’t use the same amount of tint as required for full spf 30 maximum protection (at least 1 teaspoon on the face) & I think it’s a must to use SPF 50+++ preferably mineral based under makeup EVERY DAY for true protection.
The FDA standar is 15 spf
I actually learned so much. I'm surprised how many of those myths I'd accepted as fact. Like sunscreen blocking all vitamin d.
This serie is just so good, please just keep it up! I love how they educate us!
It would be nice if she'd clarify what she meant by "very chemical free" (14:14). Like, nothing is chemical free.
Exactly ! I was concerned that a dermatologist like her used that term , it took a lot of scrolling down the comment section to see someone mention it !
Iris Madeleine Right! Like YOU are a chemical, Karen! 😂🤣
Her skincare line is also suspiciously full of essential oils, which are known irritants, on the guise of being "synthetic fragrance free". I would expect better from a dermatologist!
Sacha which proves that not all of them are when used at the right dosage like many studies have confirmed it on reputable public databases like Pubmed. She’s just a board certified dermatologist but also a surgeon specializing in skin cancer, she’s also behind more than 100 studies but what does she know?
Just free of too many active ingredients. I would say it didn't need explaining because cleansers is where you find most harsh chemicals
Oh my god I love this SO much
Many good points. Especially about over-cleansing. I have people telling me off for not cleansing my face in the morning. I do my big skin care routine before bed. When I wake up, my skin is so nice, soft and calm. I don't want to disturb that, so I just leave it. I don't get breakouts or anything. Saves me time, too
ParadiseLost this is so me. A morning routine disturbs my skin. If my skin needs it I will just pat a light moisturizer and lightweight sunscreen. I am still trying to figure out the sunscreens because they do cause me to break out.
In the morning you don't even wash your face with water?
Nope. Smearing water around your face with no cleanser doesn't really do anything, it just dries your skin out.
Mind you, I live in Scandinavia! It's freezing here. I can imagine if you live in a warmer climate, you maybe sweat when you sleep. In that case I would wash my face in the morning. I also have a very dirty job (I work on a cow farm), so my face gets dirty right from the start. So I wash my face after work, not before. I don't have problems with acne.
THANK YOU!!! I hate retinols as well. My dermatologist prescribed them as a teenager. After about 6 months of use, my skin was clear, but getting there was a struggle. I NEVER want to go through that again!!!
Wow she is gorgeous
Righg
I'm a Fitzpatrick 4-5, native American, oily, acneic skin, and I love an oil cleanser as my first cleanse. I think they're life changing. Then a specialized cleanser as my second. I have so many cleansers and always pick what I feel my skin needs. Master esthetician and barber in the state of Washington.
Would have love to hear a little bit about those anti aging ingredients ....
Love love love this Derm! She touched almost all less focused topics, want more answers from her!
I follow her on instagram. Dr Marmur is a great source of information and has a wonderful personality!! More videos with her please.
She is so incredibly beautiful! I do not understand the appeal of all these hyper-filtered Instagram influencers that are so devoid of substance and superficial...to me this is beauty...natural and graceful with a great personality.
i cant believe she agrees with the idea of diy skin care
Ikr
She isn't a self proclaimed skin expert guru with 1M followers but not scientific background but a board-certified dermatologist who understands the chemistry of natural ingredients (the first drugs were created from natural ingredients and today's drugs still mimick natural ingredients molecules). I follow a skincare formulator with a Phd in chemistry and she loves natural ingredients as well because she knows both synthetic and natural ingredients can be effective.
@@Candyp971 wdym by natural ingredients? bc there are plant extracts like honey that have a lot of benefits for your skin, but shes basically talking about putting food on your face
@@aries158 yes and food when it's healthy is what nourishes the body's cells, it has minerals and vitamins, enzymes, proteins, PH balancing factors that protects the organs by chemical reactions in a synergistic way so nothing crazy here.
@@Candyp971thats what happens when you eat it, dont expect your skin to swallow the avocado mask you put on your face
I have watched so many skincare videos and you have answered so many questions that I have never heard answered before. Thank you. Great job! Ok 👍
Aren’t constant throw away masks and eye mask bad for the environment?
Anna Bufton very!!!
Maybe theyre the kind of masks that come in containers?
it is so bad i cringe when i see some ytbers say they use like those small wipes individualy packed 😠😳😵
There are some eye masks that are not as bad for the environment, you can dissolve them and use them as a serum after use, but its the exception, not the rule. Most of them are bad
EMI V any idea what brand of eye masks offers such a product? that sounds really interesting!
Wow! I am so happy I found this Dr. This info was great👍
Yes more dermatologists videos like this, no UA-cam self proclaimed skincare expert gurus without any scientific background, please.
These are almost all the questions I had about sunscreen! Thanks for making this video it helped me a lot :)
How can I reapply sunscreen when I am wearing full face of makeup? Is it going to work anyway when I just applied it in the morning?
Tarte makes a sunscreen powder that you can put over your makeup
You can use sun sticks if you have light makeup and many brands have different sun powders
@Vũ Uy but you would need to do that in doors because some people do it on the go and it sprays out behind them also you need to pat that in
There are quite a few powder spfs that are made for reapplying .. specifically because of makeup ..I think the most known is colorscience ? They're definitely not cheap lol. I think I'm going to use a tinted SPF and powder to reapply during the day. ^^
Theres really good setting sprays that have sunscreen protection in them. Look it up.
I love her approach to skin care. It is much less fussy!
What treatment does she use on herself for her skin around her eyes being so taut???
botox
Many Derms have access to treatments such as peels, lasers and injectable. I’m sure she has indulged in at least one or more.
Cosmetic surgery and such a highly paid job she doesn’t have to worry about paying the rent!
D C isn’t it amazing how much life stress ages us 💀 I gave birth, about to divorce my narcissistic husband, all in one year, and I’ve aged at least five years 🤣 god awful
I'm so glad you mentioned the eye cream. I'm 49 years old with dry skin but oily t-zone. My under eyes are dry and at times dehydrated so I do use a separate eye cream to hydrate my under eyes and I use all my fingers to gently massage the cream into my skin.
you don't need to buy a separate eyecream. Any facial moisturiser does the job.
why didnt she mention any of the other amazing anti-aging ingredients
Oh thanks for clarifying how to use eye cream! I have been confused about it for decades apparently. I have never put it all the way because I read somewhere to dab around the rim of the eye area which never felt adequate! Now I will try your way :-)
Okay but wym with less chemicals in a cleanser..? Like...everything is a chemical? Am I supposed to put my head in a vacuum?
Im crying 😂
I'm confused too
True!
Seraphina Senkmüller there are natural ingredients dude smh
@@glaciergang no there aren't, honey is made of chemicals too f.e., natural is a marketing tactic to get people to believe in the whole natural is better craze and pay more for often more irritating formulations
Her voice is soooo soothing!
so some dermatologist like micelar water, coconut oil and retinol and others hate it, what is the truth???
Daphnia 96 the comedogenic rating system is subjective (human skin isn’t equal to rabbit ears, everyone’s skin is different). whatever works for you is what works! i think it’s important to note going slow and paying attention is important & micelles water is to be washed off.
The truth is to do what works for you.
Get enough sleep,. Eat lots of veges and make sure you are getting enough iron, zinc and vitamin D etc. Drink lots of water. And don't stress about all the Dermatologist advice and your skin will look great 😁
@@vgraham2988 agree eating healthy foods and drinking enough water is all your skin wants
Such a lovely, classy, smart, beautiful woman. She has great skin. She keeps it simple.
I can't afford that much sunscreen! Plus in NZ it was recently revealed that most of the best selling sunscreens aren't actually living up to the claims they make.
The importance of sunscreen cannot be overstated. Sunscreen can ultimately be more cost-effective than painful procedures for removing photodamage and possibly skin cancer.☀Seeking shade and wearing appropriate clothing can be a helpful tip for protecting you skin. :)
I never cared about sunscreen until I saw her amazing, glowing face.
Could you be more specific as to the anti-aging ingredients you recommend? You mentioned peptides but which type of products specifically would match the strength of retinol? You mentioned anti-inflammatories and things for the microbiome but I'm not sure what you're referring to. Thanks!
I wondered the same thing.... I was waiting for some recommendations lol 🤷🏼♀️
She probably just wants people to buy whatever anti aging products she's selling in her own skin care line.
i know peter thomas roth has a moisturizer & eye cream that is aimed at maintaining a health microbiome (pre/pro biotic situation) along with biossance.
Mother Dirt skincare is the best on the market for microbiome.
@@Tina-9-is-3x3 she has her own skincare line with peptides, her website is posted under the video
I love this series and I love her voice and how she breaks things down
I hear this myth over and over and over again, the truth is that physical and chemical sunscreens work the same way (in fact they are both chemicals). The only difference is that physical or inorganic sunscreens reflect 5% of UVA/UVB rays, the other 95% is processed the same way as chemical sunscreens.
Re micellar water, I can’t leave it on my skin (I use Bioderma) as it begins to itch, sting and go red and I consider my skin to be pretty tough or non-reactive. Michelle from Lab Muffin Beauty says you can leave it on too, she recommends Bioderma, but I just can’t.
Lisa Hayes yesss i agree for both things. this myth is getting tiring and micellar water is kinda soapy water so i wouldn't leave it all over my skin
👏👏👏👏❤❤❤
I would love to see this derm talk more about what products/ingredients besides retinoids that are good for "anti-aging". I have dry skin and am only 23 so I feel like I don't need anti-aging products yet, but I'd like to start "anti-aging" products by my late 20s and I feel like retinoids would be too strong. I like this derm because her advice is a good mix between straight forward and informative!
a non comedogenic oil on damp skin or a moisturizer like Flower & Spice rose and coriander moisturizing cream (I'm not the founder and I don't work for her but her formulas are effective and natural)
I have very sensitive skin on the drier side and have found low concentration retinol to be fine. Make sure it is a retinOL, which is the mildest retinoid, and the lowest percentage you can find. RetinAL is stronger, and prescription products like tretinoin are the strongest. I started with a retinol moisturiser, which are usually low concentration, and I'm thinking of trying a 0.16% or 0.2% retinol serum next. I'm also in my 20s just trying to prevent, so I have no hurry to go for the strong stuff. Derms actually say using products too strong that cause flaking and irritation do more harm than good.
Because my skin is so sensitive, I actually couldn’t use the moisturiser every day, and I definitely needed another moisturiser under it, so I used the retinol moisturiser as a low concentration “serum” in my routine. I think some people can just slap it on every night right away, because it’s so low concentration? I just used it on a few nights, my skin felt a bit more sensitive, so I took a break and then only used it again after my skin felt back to normal, and repeated.
In a few weeks I was able to use it most nights, I probably take a break every 5-6 days, so about once a week. Instead of a schedule like “use it every other night” or something, it was easier for me to just look at how my skin felt and looked. First sign of flaking or irritation, time for a break! Only use retinol when your skin feels good, never on flaky or irritated skin. And a good moisturiser before of after retinol. I use moisturiser before so there’s a small layer of protection under the retinol slowing down the absorption.
Of course you don’t have to use it, but I just wanted to say it doesn’t have to so scary as the prescription strength ones are. The low concentration moisturiser has made a difference on my skin! My skin was never bad, but it has still cleared up more :) Most dermatologists say the best anti-aging product is sunscreen and the second best are retinoids, so definitely use sunscreen even if you don’t want to try retinol!
I love you woman. So much knowledge in one video
Peas and carrots!! This was a super deep dive on sunscreen! I am surprised there wasn't a discussion on the difference between sunscreen and sun block. I do believe eye cream is a waste of money. However, it depends on what you want your eye cream to do. If you want to use an eye cream for dark circles, puffy eyes, wrinkles, vs. hydration, soothing, calming then I say buy the over-the-counter pricey jar for the former. Use at home remedies for soothing and calming. A cold cucumber and chamomile tea bag can do wonders. Dr. Marmur was a really cool dermatologist!
Okay have your opinion on retinol but like how about micro encapsulated retinol
When she mentioned sweat as a good cleanser I inititally thought eww but her point then actually made so much sense!
Did a Dermatologist just use the term "chemical free" at 14:14? No. And I mean NO! There is no such thing as chemical free. Air is made of chemicals. Water, H2O, is a chemical. She should know better.
but she obviously meant synthetic as the words are interchangeable today and I know everything is a chemical.
I was a little surprised that Dr. Marmur didn't mention the concept of a double cleanse when talking about oil cleansers. She said "one or the other." Shouldn't you basically always follow an oil cleanse with a water-based cleanser?
Tinted SPF moisturisers are never the right shade, can we talk about that and she didn't actually answer the question?
This is so true, they all seem to be the same shade of orangy beige. As a pretty fair skinned girl, I even have trouble finding foundation, but finding the right shade of bb cream or cc cream or any tinted moisturizer is impossible.
Clara Schneider that’s not true. Have you tried Nars pure radiant tinted moisturizer? They have many shades from very fair to dark skin tones. Bioderma sensibio with spf 50 has also light shade.
Holy how this was so helpful. I’m at athlete and the last question was like 😭😭😭😭 thank you!!
Huh, she has been my favourite so far. Very charismatic and handled internet assholery really well.
ThAnk you so much 🙏 for all this great 👍 information I’m beyond grateful for all guys hard work .. ❤️❤️❤️
Hold up though: I was with her until she said using homemade products INCLUDING COCONUT OIL. Coconut oil is highly comedogenic (clogs pores) and I've never ever heard of a dermatologist or aesthetician who would recommend putting it on your face. It can be helpful for the body and hair but certainly not the face.
I have never heard a derma that didn't mock the false comedogenicity ratings placed on oils. Comedogenicity trials that ranked coconut and other oils was not based on human skin.
Almost every derm recommends oil cleansing unless you are fighting fungal acne..
susanne anique Agreed, the science behind the comedogenic scale in general isn’t reliable, but coconut oil in and of itself is known to be pore clogging. At least to the extent that recommending it broadly, to people who could be acne-prone, is problematic. And even though it could be fine for an individual, I don’t see why you’d need to make that rec when there are oils/oil products out there that are just as if not more effective and less likely to cause breakouts. Totally agree about oil cleansing, but that doesn’t specifically require coconut oil
Its not pore clogging. Its just too fatty hence works great for dry skin but for other skin types not so much.
It can be helpful for removing waterproof makeup but it is extremely necessary to follow up imentitly with a good water-based clenser.
I love that silk button up!
She endorsed coconut oil and disregarded retinols. Also Elta Md sunscreen broke me out like crazy. I’m questioning her advice. But she has great skin.
Elta MD is commonly recomend by dermatologists. But that doesn't mean its going to work for YOU unfortunately. :(( At least you can save some of your money and find a more affordable product:)))
I’ve started to take sunscreen more seriously. I’ve always worn it but nowadays, I wear sunscreen and then use a primer with SPF in it and wear a BB cream with SPF in it. There are some makeup powders and bronzers with SPF in them so I like using those as well. We will see how this pays off in 2-5 years! 🙏🏻
Yesss i hate retinol and i have friends who trying to get "used" to retinol when her skin clearly cant handle it. I used korean essence for my anti aging and its great
Then they’re using it incorrectly. Skin CAN get used to things, but it sounds like they’re either putting on too high of a strength, putting it on when skin is still wet (need about half an hour to be fully dry), they’re not adding a moisturizer underneath as a protective layer, ect.
What exactly are the anti aging things other than Retin A that have been shown to work? There is so much stuff out there
