Honestly, I've had a lot of good teachers who taught clearly and well, yet still I saw people not learning nor doing well. The most important variable to being a good student is not in the teachers before you but rather is the desire to want to learn. When the student is ready, the correct teacher will appear.

I tried using besan as facewash, but it gave me skin rash. As a result, eventually, I switched to littleextraa riceberry face wash, and believe me, my skin has greatly improved from this and got better than how it was... pimples diminished, blemishes reduced, open pores reduced, and skin has become more glowing and smoother, and I am getting compliments from friends now.
I recently moved to another country and have been struggling with the dry weather. This video is exactly what I needed, easy to understand and straight to the point! Thank you so much🥰
Before I finish the video I just want to say thank you so much for being an advocate for skin care and being the bridge between modern medicine and holistic approach. Especially being a woman of color. You are exactly what I was looking for thank you again
I see that you meant solely to compliment this accomplished woman but I feel compelled to ask why you added that bit about being a woman of colour ! This is how you keep RACISM ALIVE, with your Mindless Division. What’s wrong with you?
@@kimberlyrogers9953 how is this racist?! I swear yall wanna be oppressed so bad. How about representation matters. We are bombarded with representation and professionals that look like you. So there was nothing wrong with what sis said. Girl have a seat, looking for reasons to be upset.
I used hemp seed oil to oil cleanse one night after a full evening of sweating with a thick layer of foundation. My skin was so radiant when I got up the next day, I was completely confused. But given that it’s anti inflammatory and non comedogenic, of course it would help repair my barrier. It’s been a staple since then!!
Can you make a part 2 of this and focus on product recommendation. It can get overwhelming whiich products to get and which brands to check out when your in the store...
My advice is 1: find out if your have pipy or dry skin. To do this wash your face woth your normal cleanser and after 2 hours put tossue on your forehead, cheeks, and nose and see if it sticks. If it does, you have oily skin if not, dry skin. If it sticks in certain areas you have combination skin. 2. Search up products. This is just personal preference because it comes down to price and what skin you have. Peoppe can't just say ehat products because everyone's skin is different. But narrowing thebsearch to oily, dry, or combination skin helps a ton.
My best advice is focus on ingredients, less so name and brand. The only difference between the biggest brands and lesser known ones is that the bigger brands have more marketing, look at the ingredients list of the product you're buying and decide from there.
I love following Dr. Alexis Stephens! She well informs her audience on skin care, and she also sets the perfect example as well thru her beautiful skin! I can say for the first time that I will be knowing how to treat my skin from home based off well informed information passed on a Dermatologist that clearly shows that she truly cares. I will be starting a new skin care regimen in May since I now have right information. I may be posting before and after pictures of myself afterwards in 3 months from my starting point in one of her future videos. Thank you Dr. Stephens.
Thank you for the video. I used to watch all kinds of skincare videos by a lot of different people. I quit watching most of them because they are targeted for younger people, and don't mention anything for mature skin. I found some that talk about what my concerns are. I'm 45 yrs. old with acne, oily, mature skin. Weird combination I think but oh well. Lol. I just got into skin care a couple of years ago when I noticed some sun damage on my forehead. Late in my life to get into skincare, but better later than never I say.
I used to use rosehip oil mixed in my face cream at night but hated the oily feel and they made my eyes blurry all the time. So I switched to using Korean sleeping masks over my moisturiser at night. Although with oils being in tons of moisturisers, this video is really useful. Squalane, rosehip and jojoba are my faves in moisturisers as I have dry skin. I also like cleansing balms, although cleansing oils are not enough for removing my eye makeup
Use pure oils. Stop buying into companies selling "oil cleansers" when you can just use the one oil. Argan oil and coconut oil always take all my makeup off perfectly
Avalea makes a wonderful facial oil with rose hip seed oil, squalane, sea buckthorn, vitamin c and many other good ingredients. I hope that it’s Dr Alexis approved 😊
Thank you! Wow. I came here looking for a good oil to use for a man's beard put learned so much more. Great video and learned so much regarding using oils as part of your regular skin care; even as a man. Thanks to your thorough review, I found what I was looking for and it looks like plant-based oils like grapeseed and hemp, will work well for my needs and on a man's face/beard. Thanks again.
This was helpful. I thought I had dry skin and started using products to improve that but those products have been overdrying my face. I especially notice it when I wake up in the morning. I was thinking about adding a face oil to my night time routine. Thank you for the suggestions along with the info.
I was looking @ my dry skin that increased with menopause I have patches of dry skin areas btw To be oily with acne prone skin,I’m planning on a target trip tonight to buy some of the elf products 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Thank you !
Love this video. I happen to be a promoter dealing with a sudden hyperpigmentation from use of a dead sea salt product which shall go nameless. I look up and my face is brown and blotchy on the left side. Well, very informative and concise, thank you. I'm featuring on my network, given the quality of your video, I think you should get a ton of suscribers. I think if the topic of Sea Squirts and plasmalogens comes up (still in research) it would be nice if you can speak on this.
This was my first time watching one of your videos and found it to be very informative! I am wondering if there are any drugstore facial oils you would recommend? I have what I believe to be normal skin, and my concerns would be more for hyperpigmentation and acne, but also hydration and anti-aging. I look forward to looking back on other videos you have posted and for future ones as well! Thank you very much.
Thank you so much Doctor. This is just what I needed. I have acne prone skin and luckily I just got grape seed oil. I just subscribed and I can’t wait to see more of your videos☺️
Great information, thank you! I just purchased “B oil” from The Ordinary and noticed it has a blend of many of the ingredients mentioned and was just 10 dollars. Hoping it will work well. If you do a part two of this please share your opinion on this product. 😊
Will you do a video specifically for aging skin routine from start to finish please. Cleansers, essence toners, moisturizers, oils, sunscreens, retinol, etc. And also is it possible for aging skin to have that glow like your skin?
Great informative video Dr Alexis and perfect timing as I've been wanting to introduce oil into my skincare routine but wasn't sure which one would be best until now :). Could you do a video on hair loss for mature women please. Which are the best oils to use - the benefits. I am going to try Hemp oil as you mentioned its a natural DHT blocker. I have made up my own oil blend using Rosemary, Peppermint, Lavender & Tea Tree essential oils mixed into Jojoba carrier oil 😘
@@Yondainc happy to hear your hair has grown back. Can you tell me which castor oil you use as I've read it can be heavy/thick oil also how often do you use it? Thanks 😊
Very informative video. I love the way Dr. Alexis incorporated budget friendly items that are great to use on the skin for a everyday use. Thank you for sharing.
Loving the great info in this vid! Thanks for giving holistic alternatives. I’m not big on purchasing store made stuff I much rather do the natural stuff so thank you!
I’m currently revamping and simplifying my skincare regimen and this was very helpful for me to pick the correct oil. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise 🤎
My skin need oil for hyperpigmentation and dryness, I take very good care of my skin , but as you know as one get older we can get dryer ...day Time I use milk cleanser and night double cleanse and use soothing ingredients...what good to dry up a pimple, that I never had ..
Hii. I’m also using ACV toner but mixed with water. So far it’s great. Want to try rosehip oil too and just want to keep this 2 step- simple and no hassle. Btw I have combination skin
Oily skin gal here, I used not like oils when I started my skin care routine, but know I use them daily little too much different oil in my skincare routine, Tarte maracuja oil and Biossance squalane oil is my fav, uselly I used last in my skin care routine.
Thanks Dr Alexis! How can I find a good dermatologist who specializes in skin of color in my area? Are there any directories or websites that you know of?
The link does not work for me.. Dr. Alexis! If I apply a retinol at night (& cap with a moisturizer), do I still have to wash my face in the morning before I apply my vitamin c & azelaic acid? I sleep on my back and I assume that the apply at night are still on my skin when I wake up. I don’t like washing my face in the morning but feel I must as to avoid a dangerous reaction brought on by this combination. Pls help! Love your content, videos and your adorable family 🤍 hope they’re well!!
@@Theresmore2lifethanthis I suggest you just rinse with water, no cleanser, just to get rid of any residue. Not because of any “dangerous” reaction but because even if you sleep on your back you might still be getting dust on your face or u might drool during the night or have put a cream that leaves a layer and you want your morning routine to be put on a fresh, clean face 👍🏼
Hello Dr. Stephens! Thanks for this great information. I have been trying out press on nails. I've noticed that they have become quite popular on social media. Soooo my question is are press on nails and nail glue harmful to our skin and nails?
Some good info here but one thing I would mention is Oils have a molecular size that can penetrate deep into the epidermis, the molecular size of water based products is too large to penetrate so apply the oil first that way the oil will absorb to where it is needed. You can then apply a moisturizer to seal it.
I have a question regarding the application of oils in the morning disrupting sebum production... What are your thoughts on people with oily skin using oils in the day specifically for decreasing their sebum production?
Pleasure meeting you Dr. Stephens. Enjoyed your video. This definitely helped me understand how to use plant and essential oils correctly and most of all, understood the benefits of using oils with moisturizers. Thank you!
@DrAlexisStephens Hi, I appreciate the video and information you posted. May you please tell me which oils are for treatments and moisturizers? Please and thank you. Also, may i use cocobutter as a moisturizer? Thank you
Such an informative video!! I heard it's not recommended to slug with something like vaseline the same routine as tret bc it could increase irritation. Are plant oils safe to use in the same routine as an active? In what order?
Hi, how are you and the family? Well I am hoping. I have been going to a Derm for what I know is a small cyst under my cheekbone. There were three options for me. The Derm seemed to be a little knowledgeable about Black skin care. However, it turned out not to be a good match at treatment plans. I was scheduled to have the cyst surgically removed. However, there was a schedule miscommunication. I declined to have the other two procedures because I was only told about them minutes before they would have been performed. One was a freeze the cyst. The other was an steroid injection. I was not in any pain and the cyst was not inflamed. It was a bit unsightly at best. I was referred out to another surgeon. I hope this is a better match.
Dr. Alexis thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge. Can you please give us a video on good BODY moisturizers(light, medium, and heavy)? The warmer months are approaching for many of us. Thank you
I just watched a video of a dermatologist not selling anything. He said none of those other products will be absorbed by our skin so they are pointless. The only thing we need is oil 🤷🏻♀️
I hate silicones/Dimethicones which is now in every moisturizer. It zaps the natural oil from my middle aged skin and causes extreme dryness and more wrinkles. Now I am using that famous yellow lotion (has mineral oil which is MUCH better than silicones) and seal it off with Kiehls midnight & daily face oils. Finally my skin feels and looks great.
Hi Dr Stephens. Thank you so much for this informative video. However, would you be kind enough to make a video and suggest what to do for enlarged pores..
Hi Dr Stephens, thank you, thank you and your videos are always so helpful. I always love to see one of your videos pop up. I pray all is well on your end 💕
I love your videos and shorts. I've learned sooooo much and look forward to my new skin journey. I'm wondering if you could do videos on thinning hair.
@@DrAlexisStephens could you do a video on laser treatment of hyperpigmentation? I can't seem to find a lot of info on yt about it for dark skinned people of color. 💕🤗 Thank you for everything you share on here freely, you have helped a lot of us a ton! 🙏🏾

I loved that it didn't strip my skin of its natural oils. My face felt pretty moisturized even after a 3-4 minute wash with rice berry face wash.
5/5 to riceberry face wash and vitamin c face serum
Stop with the spam yo
What brabd just riceberry wash

Which brand do you recommend?
Do you use it everyday
May I ask what brand you use?
Brand please?

Can you use hemp oil itself as an oil cleanser then a regular cleanser instead of using it with your moisturizer?

I’m thinking about making a homemade coffee oil. I’m thinking about infusing the coffee with the rose hip and borage seed oil what do you think 💭
I just watched a video of a dermatologist not selling anything. He said none of those other products will be absorbed by our skin so they are pointless. The only thing we need is oil 🤷🏻♀️
I hate silicones/Dimethicones which is now in every moisturizer. It zaps the natural oil from my middle aged skin and causes extreme dryness and more wrinkles. Now I am using that famous yellow lotion (has mineral oil which is MUCH better than silicones) and seal it off with Kiehls midnight & daily face oils. Finally my skin feels and looks great.
Hi Dr Stephens. Thank you so much for this informative video. However, would you be kind enough to make a video and suggest what to do for enlarged pores..
Great information. Thanks. I have oily/acne skin and have those oil, but didn't know how to use properly.

I love your videos and shorts. I've learned sooooo much and look forward to my new skin journey. I'm wondering if you could do videos on thinning hair.
Lot's of love from INDIA 💖💞🎈

Skincare is #1. I keep my makeup simple. If a woman has healthy skin, she looks good with or without makeup.
Dr Alexis, how can I have glowy skin like yours?
Thank you ❤️
