Not a question but a shining compliment I hope Dr. Shereene sees: I’ve purchased SO many helpful things for my skin watching your channel, and I have saved SO much MONEY!! I don’t have to waste money in a crapshoot anymore and there really is great drugstore skincare options that truly work, I just never knew which ones to trust and which ones were caca. I am 30 and have introduced a bunch of helpful things into my skincare routine (A313 Retinol, triple paste, Naturium Vit. C serum, Panoxl cleanser) and my skin has never been happier.
Thank you for sharing your skincare routine! I needed a cheaper effective products than my current products. Can you please tell me your skin type? I have combination skin
Let's take the word cheaper & replace it with "cost per oz" or "cost per ingredient" Some hydrating creams range from $2 per oz to $30, $90 or more! When we compare multiple items at cost per oz - comparing the ingredients side by side it helps us see the product in a more honest light Vs just seeing "hyloranic acid for $29 for 1 oz" you might think that is a good deal. Until you compare it to a few other options that have the same ingredients, maybe even one extra you love for $19 an oz or $29 for 2.5oz" Creating a spreadsheet on your phone will enable you to see products even more clearly & allow you to take notes on what your skin liked & disliked
@@MowieVannwhen you’re ready to take your analysis to the next level t level, consider tracking how long a product lasts. Comparing cost per ounce is a good start, but some products go a long way while others don’t.
This is a long shot in getting a response. I am 64 wrinkles thinner face live in very dry Utah . I feel I need some kind of a filler for my face . Or get fat lol so much out there do not know what to trust . Over the years working hard to support my sons . I took the back seat . Thank you I love your so honest so nice to see that now days .
I am not a board-certified dermatologist, but I am someone who loves skincare, and I would say if you feel like your skin is getting thin, then I recommend hyaluronic acid. You can put on damp clean skin, and you also can ingest it in capsule form. Scientific studies have shown that ingestible hyaluronic acid increased the thickness of people’s skin over eight weeks when they took 250 mg daily.
@@tiffanysalernoAs someone who has lived their lived their whole life is the dryest climate ever near utah & has very very very dry skin- I am going to try this hlyronic acid pill! Ty
As someone who has very very dry skin to the point it flakes and bleeds & even "dry" organs to the point they do not work well i have found cutting out "dry" foods helps wonders. When i stopped eating chips & reduced bread to twice a week my skin & organ greatly improved Next. There is a new study: if you eat fiber veggies before food & before you start your day the fiber will coat your liver & organs like a protective barrier to help flush out chemicals & fats from the food. So i tried it. A cucumber in the blender with water to start my day and my skin is so moist! My organs work. I go potty regulary. I can think clearer. I researched "high water content foods" & eat those with every meal Next i reduced my shower time (i hate this one) to ten minutes and yet again my skin improved. The hot water was drying out my skin. Once a week i coat myself in aveno dry skin lotion & take a long hot bath. I found the lotion takes 15 minutes to come off the skin in the tub so that's 15 minutes my skin is not dying out ❤
If you are dry, also make sure that the diaper cream does NOT contain absorbing>drying ingredients like *mica, talk* or *kaolin* . They are lovely for wounds that exude liquid but not for this purpose😉. 🧛🏻♀️🖤
@@caylesx in the video she uses “Triple Paste” … it’s not here in the UK , but I can’t say the same for Australia. The one I use is Sudocream , but another one would be Weleda - White Mallow Cream. (Again I’m not sure if you can find these in Australia).
Ok i started using this and my skin is so soft now!!! Thank you thank you!!! I'm going to try your skin care system next when i run out of my current products!! So excited 😅 ❤
Hi Dr. Idriss, do you have any recommendations for keeping hair healthy? I live in a dry environment with curly hair and my hair while strong and full, is frizzy, dry and dull.
After use tretinol my skin getting very oily... so pls suggest which ingredients moisturizer best... for my skin.. now used ceramide peptide moisturizer
This is great advice - thank you as always for these videos! However, these nighttime creams can get in the way of a CPAP mask - how early before bedtime can a person put rash cream / retinol on to get maximum results without having to keep it on overnight?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🤩 we appreciate you!! In this and previous videos, us dry skin girlies have learned the importance of zinc oxide as the last step of our night routines. You have also tolaught us that using a face wash product only in the evening is advisable when you have skin on the dry side, prone to inflammation. Given this information, do we or do we not wash with products in the a.m. after using zinc oxide at night?
I live in a very hot environment. I have oily skin and inflammation acne. I sweat very often. I been using salicylic acid cleanser and leave glycolic acid overnight with a lightweight aloe gel. It's been 1 and half years and my inflammation has reduced. But I still get redness and acne in the summer.
QUESTION I NEED TO KNOW… Do you apply your retinol every night? IF SO, do you apply the butt paste after you’ve already applied you’re retinol or do you alternate and use it on nights you’re NOT using you’re retinol, NEED TO KNOW PLEASEEEEE!!!
According to my own Dermatologist , retin A (Tretinoin) always goes on first. Wait 20 minutes then add other creams/serums. I use this right before shutting out the lights. Hope this helps.
She said if you're an advanced user of daily tretinoin use and don't have sensitive skin, you can use it on top. But for most people she said use it on the off days
I suffer from pcos and thyroid issues but my symptoms are under control expect for hormonal acne... and i don't want go for retinol etc. Can you suggest a good skin care routine for people like me. Oh and my skin type is oily and sensitive. I'm using Cetaphil oily skin cleaner it definitely helped me a lot in controlling the pimples but i don't have a clear skin... and my acne breakout are severe when they happen...
What is the difference between slugging your skin & “basting” your skin as I have heard you call it. Besides the ingredients, what would be the best option for x skin type/skin issue?
Not good to use hemorrhoid cream under eyes. Whatever the secret ingredient was is no longer in the cream. I could be wrong though. Was a popular discussion a few years ago.
@@bernadettebersche9662I’ve heard the same. Don’t use hemorrhoid cream under your eyes. Instead use eye cream with caffeine in it and something to brighten the under eye area. I also use an undereye mask for mine.
I have dry and acne prone skin. Don't really find suggestion for this combination. I've seen a lot of your videos and always find your advice helpful. Can you please help me fight the two things at once. My face itches so much because of the dryness and the pimples.
I have the same skin type! So something that has been hugely beneficial for me is the la rocheposay cicaplast baume on top of my moisturiser. I love Kiehls, and they have a set called something like "glow" (includes a squalane cleanser, glycolic acid serum and moisturiser) which works well too. I learned a while ago that acne also starts with a backed up liver, and a naturopath recommended that I drink green tea mixed with milk thistle tea 2x per day, and eat more black beans daily to bind to excess hormones and flush them out. She also suggested I start drinking zeolite powder daily, followed by 1.5L of water, and OH MY LORD has that been INCREDIBLE. So those are my topical and internal approaches, and I hope by sharing that it could be helpful to you! There are wonderful youtube channels that also talk about how amazing beans are for acne and period issues, and one particular account is run by Unique Hammond, who is a registered nutritionist/dietician. Go check her out!
In her longer video about (face) basting she explains about different types of zinc, its benefit for dry and acne prone skin, and gives product recommendations. Particularly for dry and acne prone skin, she recommended creams with zinc gluconate such as La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume
I have a dry skin I also have pigmentation and dark spots around the eyes and mouth, and I suffer from peels on the forehead, between eyes and cheeks. What can I do and what type of retinol is good for my skin? I need a routine that clears all that please
How about CVS Zinc Oxide 20% cream ? This will ensure nothing else in that. I am brown skin person having a dry & sensitive skin with uneven skin tone !
I make my own non nano zinc oxide and carrot oil sun screen but I’m almost neon white naturally, so I couldn’t say if the shat disappears with darker skin tones. I’ve heard people mixing in coca or carob powder to get the mix right for their skin tone, but I’m not sure if they are cosmogenic 🤷🏻♀️. I find carrot oil a bit drying sometimes so I add castor oil to my mix also. Just as a cream it’s super nice to use and much cheaper than store bought. Anyway, no steroids in home made, so just sharing something that’s really helped me.
@@daciasdiy1861 carrot oil is anti inflammatory and high in vitamin A, and zinc oxide is the main active ingredient in most baby creams, and she specifically mentions its efficacy. It’s basically the same core ingredients as most high end organic baby creams, and just happens to be what I use as a mineral based sun screen 🤷🏻♀️. In Europe you wouldn’t get a steroid over the counter for a baby cream, that shocked me tbh. You can add caster oil to make it more hydrating :), you could also add rosehip, argan, or black seed if you prefer for the omegas in them. I’m just super allergic after being really ill, so I home make dupes as there are so many unnecessary ingredients like preservatives to help keep shelf life in so many products. Even in good baby creams 😢 It also ended up being a money saver which is always nice :) I was trying to be helpful 🤷🏻♀️, but I get the misunderstanding as I referred to my mix as sun cream.
I have bad pigmentation since I had my daughter 20 years ago. I just cant get rid of it. Any sugestions. I am very strict with my skin care routine. I never miss a step or day in my skin care.
I make my own with non nano zinc oxide and carrot oil, but I’m naturally very fair so I don’t look too pale with it. (I got allergic to various ones so looked up the safest). Good luck whatever you decide.
@@alexamuenyou can’t make your own sunscreen. Mixing zinc oxide does not make it sunscreen. There’s proportions, film formers, many other things to consider as well as testing. So, no, you can’t make your sunscreen- that’s just science.
@@nickilema1074 sure, I get non nano zinc oxide from Amazon (from a reputable supplier) or a health food store, the same for the organic carrot oil and castor oil. I mix the carrot oil slowly into the zinc powder with a brush till it gets like a thick whipped cream, add a few drops of the caster oil, that’s it, super simple :). Depending on the time of the month I can get drier skin, so I tend to add a bit more caster oil when my skin is dry. I like to apply it on damp clean skin, over rice water is particularly good :). The mix can separate a bit, but that’s normal, just stir it in again. I’d keep the oils in the fridge if you’re in a hot climate to keep them fresh. I also tend to make enough for around a week, again to keep the oils fresh. I have a small dark blue glass pot I keep it in, but I’ve heard of other people putting the mix in aluminium paint tubes so they can carry it around easier. Everyone has different skin needs so I’d play around a bit to find the right mix for you. I personally use carrot seed oil as a base as it’s a “dry” oil so sinks in quickly as doesn’t make you feel “oily”. Other good oils are Argan, prickly pear, or sea buckthorn (careful as can stain) . It really depends on your particular skin and therapeutic need. If your using it as a sun screen rather then a bedtime treatment, just make sure your skin is hydrated with a splash of water/toner/moisturiser before you apply the cream and you’ve rubbed it in before applying any make up. I personally find it’s a good base, looks like my pores have disappeared on my nose 🤣💖. I mention adding the toner / serum or moisturiser first as the oils should be the last step to hold it in, also carrot oil on its own can be a drying oil (who would have thought 😅). Anyway good luck in finding the perfect mix for you 🙏🍀🤞.
Hi Dr. I have never really struggled with face outbreaks. I have an outbreak on my chin which looks like almost a diaper rash since Jan, what can I do? I have tried cleansers etc.
Do you have any recommendations for people with long-term seborrheic dermatitis/psoriasis (in-office, medication, lifestyle changes)? Ive seen dermatologists years ago who recommended topical Txs (everything from head and shoulders, selsun blue, nizoral, tar based shampoos, salicylic acid shampoos - only some of which relieved some discomfort but unfortunately didnt help the scalp itself). I was on a course of Acutane in my early 20s (scalp issues pre-exist this) for acne, but while i was on the medication, my scalp issues miraculously cleared up entirely (returned about 6 months after, and worse condition). My mum tells me she had similar issues in her teens and had a dermatologist do some sort of light therapy on the scalp that cleared it up. Would love to hear your thoughts or any pointers to treatments would be appreciated
I have this annoying condition too, I scratch so hard that I make myself bleed! I was prescribed a mild steroid leave in for 30 mins lotion then shampoo as normal which helped, but only when I kept it up regularly in between I always use a mild clarifying shampoo with salicylic acid with a silicone scrubby scalp washing brush that I absolutely LOOOVE! and always follow up with your regular conditioner, avoiding the scalp. Hope that helps.. ❤
What's the best skincare routine for people in humid environments? I'm from Oregon and we have tons of rain here but I only ever hear people talking about skincare routine for dry environments
Oh my god nice!! Im from Oregon also! You said you're in an area with a lot of rain...i am also. Im in the valley. As soon as i read that part of your comment i wondered if you're in the valley or the coast. 😃
@kathyg3353 You are correct. I am unaware that there is both a creme and an ointment but yes, Triple paste creme for sure. I've been using it for a couple weeks now and it has helped tremendously!
How to determine your skin type? Acknowledging there will be variation with climate/weather/season/hormones etc and that it might not be set in stone. Thanks
I applied the diaper rash cream on my face after my night time skincare. Than I went out to pick up dinner, forgetting that I have a thick cream on my face like a white mask. You can just imagine the stares I get 😊
I’ve always heard wearing sunscreen at night when going to bed isn’t good for your skin. I’ve read and watched videos that it’s important to take off your sunscreen when doing your nighttime skin care.
Hi! My sister has eczema (usually not on the face) and sensitive skin. Lately she has struggled with having eczema-like sores on her cheeks, and when she has tried a bit thicker, calming moisturizers, and creams with zink, it has often gotten worse. Why is this?
Girl! You are speaking to ME! I’m in 11% humidity in CO mtns and it’s cold and windy and my sensitive skin gets too dry and then will reward me with a blemish now and then. My skin peels and just sucks up any moisture I can give it. Any suggestions?
Binge watch her full length videos. She has a few that talk about sealing in moisture on skin, but also on healing & preventing cracking lips. I live in CO also. Her videos have been a lifesaver! Don’t forget to checkout her vids on vitamin c to help assist healing & prevention of further sun damage if you are an heavy outdoors enthusiast like the majority of Colorado residents. ❤ If you’re in the metro area check out “B Theory Aesthetics”. Leigh and Brook are phenomenal estheticians who are very thoughtful and well researched about their offerings. Both understand our environment, as well as aging skin.
@@chelseabunker2391 Omgosh thank you so much for the info and referrals. I have my dermie and she’s SO expensive and not the best, based on my other experiences. I’ll definitely check this all out. I’m in Roxborough, so yep! I’m outside ALOT. 😂
Has anyone heard of coating your face with Vaseline at bedtime for dry skin? I live on Long Island. Our winters are cold and windy . I already have normal/Yes dry skin so in the winter, it really takes a beating . My grandmother used to apply a thin layer of “ petroleum jelly” all over her face when she went to bed. And yes, she slept on her back… There was a dermatologist on UA-cam, who said It is petroleum that was one of the worst things we can do for our skin . She stated the reason is because it is petroleum … we are putting toxic chemicals on our face..🫢 Now I don’t know what to do ..
I’ve read that the Vaseline and Petroleum is different in the breakdown of it in Vaseline. I’ve heard you can use Aquafor as well unless you’re allergic to Lanolin then use Vaseline. I use both for under my eyes, my lips and my feet with socks on at night. I don’t use it all over my face because I have combination skin and will wake up a greasy mess 😂 I use a thin layer under my eyes and I pat it on so I’m not pulling at my under eye skin too much since it’s the thinnest in the under eye area.
Yes! This is what i want to know too. I have combo skin also but im confused about what my skin type is exactly. Unless its just called combo skin and that's it. Idk this is all confusing
Zinc oxide sucks the life out of my skin. I am perplexed that it is always touted as so gentle? And my skin is not dry. Can’t even use sunscreen with it. Makes my skin peel off
And right this moment, it just clicked why my oily skin is appreciating all the hydrating products. Well, I live in the desert with 0% humidity most of the year, of course it needs a drink of water
If the dandruff is not dry maybe it is a condition called sebherroic eczema, caused by a fungus. It can be treated quite easily with special shampoos like Terzolin (at least it is called like that in my country.)
This is ONE of the best things I’ve learned from you Dr I…. I use this all the time never realizing how I was damaging the barrier of my skin
Not a question but a shining compliment I hope Dr. Shereene sees: I’ve purchased SO many helpful things for my skin watching your channel, and I have saved SO much MONEY!!

I have bad pigmentation since I had my daughter 20 years ago. I just cant get rid of it. Any sugestions. I am very strict with my skin care routine. I never miss a step or day in my skin care.
What do you think about the water + moisturizer+ occlusive combo????
Can you please make a video on affordable nontoxic sunscreens? In my 20s and wanna get started on the spf
I make my own with non nano zinc oxide and carrot oil, but I’m naturally very fair so I don’t look too pale with it. (I got allergic to various ones so looked up the safest). Good luck whatever you decide.
@@alexamuenyou can’t make your own sunscreen. Mixing zinc oxide does not make it sunscreen. There’s proportions, film formers, many other things to consider as well as testing. So, no, you can’t make your sunscreen- that’s just science.
@@alexamuencan u please share your recipe step by step
@@nickilema1074 sure, I get non nano zinc oxide from Amazon (from a reputable supplier) or a health food store, the same for the organic carrot oil and castor oil.
I mix the carrot oil slowly into the zinc powder with a brush till it gets like a thick whipped cream, add a few drops of the caster oil, that’s it, super simple :).
Depending on the time of the month I can get drier skin, so I tend to add a bit more caster oil when my skin is dry.
I like to apply it on damp clean skin, over rice water is particularly good :).
The mix can separate a bit, but that’s normal, just stir it in again.
I’d keep the oils in the fridge if you’re in a hot climate to keep them fresh.
I also tend to make enough for around a week, again to keep the oils fresh.
I have a small dark blue glass pot I keep it in, but I’ve heard of other people putting the mix in aluminium paint tubes so they can carry it around easier.
Everyone has different skin needs so I’d play around a bit to find the right mix for you.
I personally use carrot seed oil as a base as it’s a “dry” oil so sinks in quickly as doesn’t make you feel “oily”.
Other good oils are Argan, prickly pear, or sea buckthorn (careful as can stain) . It really depends on your particular skin and therapeutic need.
If your using it as a sun screen rather then a bedtime treatment, just make sure your skin is hydrated with a splash of water/toner/moisturiser before you apply the cream and you’ve rubbed it in before applying any make up.
I personally find it’s a good base, looks like my pores have disappeared on my nose 🤣💖.
I mention adding the toner / serum or moisturiser first as the oils should be the last step to hold it in, also carrot oil on its own can be a drying oil (who would have thought 😅).
Anyway good luck in finding the perfect mix for you 🙏🍀🤞.
What ingredients do we look for when avoiding steroids
Hello, avoid daily use of any steroids that could be in a diaper cream, specifically hydrocortisone.
What is the name of that cream you are using?
Hi Dr. I have never really struggled with face outbreaks. I have an outbreak on my chin which looks like almost a diaper rash since Jan, what can I do? I have tried cleansers etc.
What is your skin type? I’m always dry and dehydrated so I want to try this. But if you run oily it won’t work on me
Does some pigmentation stay permanently??
I have large pores will this block pores?
Doesn’t it clog pores and lead to black heads ?
Wow smooth and soft glasse skin. Well done daring . Cute site look👑️🐧👍😊 I am ,sri lanka hige education girl . 😙🥺
Silly question but how does a person properly wash their face?
Hey my partner has dark circles under eyes. He has not fair complexion but normal skin texture. Apart this, he has malasma or pigmentation of checks .
What are uour thought on cold cream?
How about diaper rash cream for acne prone skin
Is exfoliating good for sensitive, extremely dry desert like skin with a few broken blood vessels ?
Do you have any recommendations for people with long-term seborrheic dermatitis/psoriasis (in-office, medication, lifestyle changes)? Ive seen dermatologists years ago who recommended topical Txs (everything from head and shoulders, selsun blue, nizoral, tar based shampoos, salicylic acid shampoos - only some of which relieved some discomfort but unfortunately didnt help the scalp itself). I was on a course of Acutane in my early 20s (scalp issues pre-exist this) for acne, but while i was on the medication, my scalp issues miraculously cleared up entirely (returned about 6 months after, and worse condition). My mum tells me she had similar issues in her teens and had a dermatologist do some sort of light therapy on the scalp that cleared it up. Would love to hear your thoughts or any pointers to treatments would be appreciated
I have this annoying condition too, I scratch so hard that I make myself bleed! I was prescribed a mild steroid leave in for 30 mins lotion then shampoo as normal which helped, but only when I kept it up regularly in between I always use a mild clarifying shampoo with salicylic acid with a silicone scrubby scalp washing brush that I absolutely LOOOVE! and always follow up with your regular conditioner, avoiding the scalp. Hope that helps.. ❤
What's the best skincare routine for people in humid environments? I'm from Oregon and we have tons of rain here but I only ever hear people talking about skincare routine for dry environments
Oh my god nice!! Im from Oregon also! You said you're in an area with a lot of rain...i am also. Im in the valley. As soon as i read that part of your comment i wondered if you're in the valley or the coast. 😃
@@kittycat5919 I'm from the Corvallis area!
@@jessbach4795 Holy S are you serious??!! Lol. Wow what a coincidence cause that's where I've been for several years now!!
Hi. Do you have examples for an zink oxide baby creme without steroids?
She recommends triple paste diaper rash ointment :)
Thank you!
@@SarahKat329I thought she used the cream and not the ointment.
@kathyg3353 You are correct. I am unaware that there is both a creme and an ointment but yes, Triple paste creme for sure. I've been using it for a couple weeks now and it has helped tremendously!
What kind do you use?
How to remove light spots on lips?
Does slugging work ?
Could desitin be used ?
How to determine your skin type? Acknowledging there will be variation with climate/weather/season/hormones etc and that it might not be set in stone. Thanks
I applied the diaper rash cream on my face after my night time skincare. Than I went out to pick up dinner, forgetting that I have a thick cream on my face like a white mask. You can just imagine the stares I get 😊
Lol nice 😸
@@kittycat5919 i thot so too hahahahaa
Could you use zinc based sunscreen the same way?
I’ve always heard wearing sunscreen at night when going to bed isn’t good for your skin. I’ve read and watched videos that it’s important to take off your sunscreen when doing your nighttime skin care.
What brand of diaper rash cream do you use? Thank you for educating me with your professional education.
Triple Paste cream is what she's using.
Triple Paste
Is 20% zink to strong? In a diaper crash cream
It’s quite hard to follow. But will try
What products were you using in three shorts?
I have oily sensitive skin and i use retinol ..! I cnt use heavy moisturiser as it makes it more greasy any suggestions for oily skin
Hi! My sister has eczema (usually not on the face) and sensitive skin. Lately she has struggled with having eczema-like sores on her cheeks, and when she has tried a bit thicker, calming moisturizers, and creams with zink, it has often gotten worse. Why is this?
Is sudocrem okay to use ?
Which one do you use?
Girl! You are speaking to ME! I’m in 11% humidity in CO mtns and it’s cold and windy and my sensitive skin gets too dry and then will reward me with a blemish now and then. My skin peels and just sucks up any moisture I can give it. Any suggestions?
Binge watch her full length videos. She has a few that talk about sealing in moisture on skin, but also on healing & preventing cracking lips. I live in CO also. Her videos have been a lifesaver! Don’t forget to checkout her vids on vitamin c to help assist healing & prevention of further sun damage if you are an heavy outdoors enthusiast like the majority of Colorado residents. ❤ If you’re in the metro area check out “B Theory Aesthetics”. Leigh and Brook are phenomenal estheticians who are very thoughtful and well researched about their offerings. Both understand our environment, as well as aging skin.
@@chelseabunker2391 Omgosh thank you so much for the info and referrals. I have my dermie and she’s SO expensive and not the best, based on my other experiences. I’ll definitely check this all out. I’m in Roxborough, so yep! I’m outside ALOT. 😂
Omg 11% ?
I’m sweating at 95% tropical here😂
@@Freetimeofyuni for REAL! I’m used to TX humidity, with perfect skin. I feel like a lizard here 8! CO!

What are your recommendations for skincare while traveling?
So are we talking like Sudocrem for the zinc cream please?
What diaper cream would you recommend
Has anyone heard of coating your face with Vaseline at bedtime for dry skin?
I live on Long Island.
Our winters are cold and windy .
I already have normal/Yes dry skin so in the winter, it really takes a beating .
My grandmother used to apply a thin layer of “ petroleum jelly” all over her face when she went to bed. And yes, she slept on her back…
There was a dermatologist on UA-cam, who said It is petroleum that was one of the worst things we can do for our skin .
She stated the reason is because it is petroleum … we are putting toxic chemicals on our face..🫢
Now I don’t know what to do ..
I’ve read that the Vaseline and Petroleum is different in the breakdown of it in Vaseline. I’ve heard you can use Aquafor as well unless you’re allergic to Lanolin then use Vaseline. I use both for under my eyes, my lips and my feet with socks on at night. I don’t use it all over my face because I have combination skin and will wake up a greasy mess 😂 I use a thin layer under my eyes and I pat it on so I’m not pulling at my under eye skin too much since it’s the thinnest in the under eye area.
How do you figure out your skin type properly if it’s combination?
Yes! This is what i want to know too. I have combo skin also but im confused about what my skin type is exactly. Unless its just called combo skin and that's it. Idk this is all confusing
Using any product with zink in it will dry the shit out of my skin. 🤷🏼♀️
真的建議霸軒一定要先做功課，凍卵可是很痛的。又要打針又要做很多手術，小美身體又不是很好，會不忍心的!
Zinc oxide sucks the life out of my skin. I am perplexed that it is always touted as so gentle? And my skin is not dry. Can’t even use sunscreen with it. Makes my skin peel off
Whqt if youre dry in a relatively humid environment? (UK is humid but i dont understand how other than when its harsh summer)
And right this moment, it just clicked why my oily skin is appreciating all the hydrating products. Well, I live in the desert with 0% humidity most of the year, of course it needs a drink of water
I bought this diaper cream from your recommendation and it gave me pimples above my eyebrows…. How are we meant to use it haha
My 13yr daughter has dandruff and she has dandruff on her eyebrows , what is the cause of that and how can I get it removed?
😮
If the dandruff is not dry maybe it is a condition called sebherroic eczema, caused by a fungus. It can be treated quite easily with special shampoos like Terzolin (at least it is called like that in my country.)
@@mirafeld1828 she tried alot of shampoo’s even went to the doctor but still no difference
