I remember coming across Dr Dray's channel in November 2018. I remember it well as I was recovering from a nasty chest infection and was laid up in bed. Running out of makeup videos to watch, I started watching your videos. My biggest takeaway from these was to have a simple skincare routine which incorporated sunscreen. I streamlined my products and developed a routine based on your principles etc. Nearly 4 years later I can say with confidence that I have good skin. Thank you.
When I tell you I’ve been WAITING for you to do a review on this brand!! I’ve been rocking with Kose cleansing oils for 3 years now and my skin has never been the same!! The way it removes so much black heads from my face is amazing! I HIGHLY recommend using this after you exfoliate the black heads will literally start coming out like crazy!!!
Really? Cleansing oil removing the blackheads? 😳 I'm still afraid to use Cleansing oils due to the fact it can clog my pores as I don't like to use much foaming cleanser as a 2nd step of cleansing routine.. I thought Inkeylist oat cleansing balm was better
Years ago i got into swimming every other day at the gym; always liked being in the water but was frustrated at my inability to swim fast or confidently, so i pushed myself. It got addictive (in a good way) but a great side effect was that it eliminated my migraines. More than any other exercise, swimming engages so many muscle groups and requires coordination of all of them simultaneously WITH breathing (since water demands an alertness to your access to oxygen). I got to the point of being able to swim a kilometer nonstop, but not solely because my muscles were stronger, but bec i could coordinate all that muscle work with breathing efficiently. That total-body workout is i think why we feel so satiated after a swim.
I loooooove to swim, it is my favorite sport. It helped me get through my dad’s illness and is great stress relief. I always feel amazing after I swim. 😊👏😊
Swimming is my favorite exercise! I almost never exercise on dry land because it isn’t as exhilarating as swimming for me! Plus, swimming is a full body workout. Cardio AND toning all at once.
Swim Hint: wear ur swimsuit into the shower, take it off in there and wash it with bodywash and then hang or lay to dry when u get out. (I live in coastal New England, and swimwear gets a workout in the ocean water - this technique gets out all the salt, sand, chlorine)
I am 65yrs old and my favorite memories of summer as a child is swimming. I loved it then and I love it now. Aqua aerobic classes are sooo great. No sweating and I get a great workout 3 to 4 days a week. PLUS no stress on these old joints. So I can definitely relate to how you feel after a little “aqua” therapy. Great for the body and mind.
I may try aqua aerobics again. I've only done it once when I was in London (where no one knew me)! I remember all the ladies (inc. myself) having a really good laugh, which of course is very good for the endorphins We were doing it to 1970s disco music. 🧜♀️💃 👱♀️❤
Still use the Hado Labo cleansing oil Dr. Dray. You got me hooked, and then I use the Hado Labo foaming cleanser. Bye , bye breakouts. My skin is just incredible. Many thanks Dr. Dray.
Double cleanse actually changed my skin game. I love cleansing balms and oils. I don't need any exfoliation. Salycilic acid cleanser does it all. I love Cosrx one.
I used to be against using cleansing oils because I have mainly oily skin. However, ever since I was diagnosed with contact dermatitis I took the plunge and tried out the Curél Makeup Cleansing Oil. I can happily say that it helps to melt tinted sunscreen and I like to finish everything off by using the Cetaphil Gentle Foaming Cleanser. 👍🏼
@@mbritt9738 It is brilliant! I have used it on waterproof mascara before and it helps to melt it. I would recommend following it up with a second cleanser.
@@zebakoli Awesome! Thanks for responding. I have tried melting cleansing balms, but I think some have lemon or something and that dries my eyes out. I'll have to try the Curel! Have a great day!
@@laurajean7913 not at all, I was very skeptical of oil cleansers because I have acne-prone skin. This cleanser emulsifies very well, and as long as you're doing a two-step cleanse you should be alright!
Hi,I have Same skin type here I just got it two days ago and i it’s actually really good.I have tons of k beauty products that broke and textured my face
You’re so sweet.. so personable and knowledgeable. Thank you for sharing a bit of your life with us and letting us all know the struggle is real and we’re all in this together. We ❤️ you, Dr. Dray!!
Thank you Dr. Dray for providing the mass with professional advice. A lot of us don't have the capability or common sense to go to a professional and turn to the internet. That's the reality of it. With millions of incorrect advice out there, you are the light that guides us
Happy Sunday the pool swim looked very relaxing 😎 I am using the Kose cleansing oil and really liking which spreads very easily on the face and then using Vanicream gentle facial cleanser. I feel the same by the time we deal with daily chores it’s hard to have fun definitely any thing to help have a better nights sleep 😴 used to be so easy to sleep the whole night now not so much! Great viewing Dr D 🐶
I wish we could be best friends in real life. You're literally one of the most refreshing people I watch. You're so funny and I love your humor lol Thank you for taking time out of your life to do these videos :) You're appreciated!
I have been watching your videos for ever and I never get tired of the info, or what you are 'teaching' us each week! I loved the pool clip ~ we do have a pool also... I am not in Houston, but about an hour and a half from there, and we don't cover them over here either!! I have often wondered as well, why Floridians do and we don't. I do enjoy having a pool sooooo much and it is a great stress reliever for me~ It has been a tremendous blessing to have. And yes, it is PITIFUL that we have to work so hard to schedule in a little fun! You are so right~ by the time we have time for it we are getting ready for bed!! Have a great week and keep "em coming!
I can relate to feeling good after being in the pool. I'm less awkward in the water. I have just recovered from an abrasion on my cornea. I must have rubbed my eye overnight when there was a foreign object (?) in it...so the ER doctor said. Extremely painful 😪 👱♀️❤
You are so right about swimming and fun. My older sister never learned to swim and getting in a pool isn't fun for her. I'm not a strong swimmer but can definitely get it done and made sure my daughter learned to swim beginning as a toddler. If you grow up in a place where it's cold a lot and pools are scarce learning to swim isn't a given.
Wow the cosari kettle didn't know such kettles existed we have your basic boil kettles mainly in the UK mine cost £5 tesco basic it's now 6 years old and going strong if I want it to boil for longer than the auto cut off, I just lift the lid a bit and it boils and boils 🇬🇧❤️
Happy Sunday!! Almost 52 and having fun last night was running my dishwasher and hanging pictures lol. Today I will rehang the fallen ones that Command Strips failed 😡
Happy Sunday/Monday Kathy! Before I use Command strips I wipe the wall with rubbing alcohol the night before, then the next day stick on the Command strips and do the hanging. If you are already doing this perhaps they don't work as well in humid climates? 👱♀️❤
Because of you, I got that Hado Labo cleansing oil and love it! Especially being able to get those refill pouches. No matter what other cleansing oils or balms are being tried, I always come back to it.
Hi Andrea, longtime subscriber here. I used to watch your videos the minute they were uploaded but it wasn’t healthy as I live in Australia! Now I enjoy them during normal hours!
I LOVE the Kose Softymo deep cleansing oil, and prefer it a lot over the Kose Softymo speedy cleansing oil. They both do a comparable, fantastic job removing sunscreen and makeup, but the speedy oil irritates my eyes. I do realize not everyone opens their eyes during an oil cleanse, but I do!! It's satisfying, but I can also focus on drier areas of skin to exfoliate. The deep cleansing oil can get directly in my eyes with no irritation. The AOA studio skin with green tea and vit E cleansing balm is my second favorite (Kose deep clean is #1), it feels so nice, cleans well, and doesn't cause eye irritation either. I use the speedy oil on my body just to use it up because it's still fantastic, I just won't bother with the irritation. It's lasted a long time just using on arms and legs! It's good for shaving, though I prefer a very specific Tree Hut shave oil. All of these cleansing oils are top notch and very affordable! I don't know how I ever managed without a double cleanse (lol I actually just used makeup remover/micellar water to remove SPF and makeup prior) because it is such a small, but hugely enjoyable and relaxing part of my daily routine. It keeps my pores and skin so clean, but the massage and skin flake removal is hard to beat for self-care!
As you likely well know: pool exercise is a great workout because of the weightless environment. Also, nothing quite like a change of scene and pace. My facial skin has never been better since switching to the double cleanse method, esp with removing my susnscreen layer, and, as you say, it's a pleasant ritual.
I recently picked up the Curel makeup removing oil. We’ll see after a trial, but so far it seems to leave my skin very moisturized after step two of my cleanse. My mature skin is still acne prone. I’m just hopeful it doesn’t cause a flare. I had no idea Curel was actually a Japanese brand with a full line of skincare for dry, sensitive skin. Thanks for the video Doc! ❤
Yes yes!! So great to take advantage of the pool! I’ve noticed you look more relaxed when you do, also you get very talkative and I like it! Always like hearing what you have to say! I recently got the CeraVa Healing Ointment. I’m kind of liking it so far. Deff a great try for anyone thinking of grabbing it. Deff been body slugging with it. Reminds me, I need to find a razor that’s good for shaving arms and legs. Still not satisfied with the one I have. Really been thinking about that retinol video. Makes me want to try more stuff that is out there. Love ya Dr Dray!!!
I haven't tried the Hada Labo cleansing oil but it sounds like one I'd like to try. Simple brand had a cleansing oil that I tried several years ago and I really liked it but it disappeared. 🤷 I still enjoy the Inkey List cleansing balm. Happy Sunday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a lovely evening. 💞
Love that kettle! It's very quick to come to temp too. :) I use the Aquation Retinol body cream and it's lovely. It's almost a gel-cream, very light but hydrating without feeling heavy or greasy. I really want to try the collagen formula too! :) Yes! When I get a lash in my eye, it always seems to be while I'm driving. Arghhh... It is sad that Revlon is struggling. The bankruptcy also involves Almay as they are both owned by the same company.
I'm so glad you're having fun & I agree with you! THANK YOU for the AmLactin recommendation! I've been using the 15% lactic acid one everyday for 2 weeks and oof, it's amazing on my body! Instantly softens and moisturizes. I'm pretty sure my whole face & body routine is because of you lol it works! For cleansing oils I love Purito's From Green then I follow with cetaphil's gentle skin (new formula), amazing for my eczema and redness prone skin
those pool birdcages are excellent for keeping the pool clean, and protect the neighborhood wandering children from falling in, too. However they are very expensive. For us, it was worth the additional expense.
They are definitely worth it. Years ago I worked at a building that had almost every type of profession you could think of in it to include teachers for learning disabled in autistic children and other special needs children. The building sat right in the middle of a residential community out in a rural area and one of the kids somehow made his way to the pool and luckily the teacher realize a child was missing and he was in the pool and she jumped in after him but could not swim. She just felt so responsible when I think the homeowner should have been responsible and don't worry, they both survived, others came to the rescue but given the fact that they were located next to this facility and many people had pools in the area, the covers or at least a good fence should have been a requirement.
Hii Dr. Andrea, do try eating Jackfruit once, it tastes heavenly! It's a very common fruit in Bengal, India (that's where I live) and it's my favourite! Plus it has great nutritional benefits! 😊❤
Happy Sunday Dr Dray, your videos are really fun to watch every morning! Giving you credit for getting me on the Cerave Healing ointment game 💙💛 been mostly using it all over my face ( I have pretty dry skin especially around the eyes) I’m about to be finishing a big tub I’ve purchased about a year ago and using the squeeze bottle one when traveling. Really changed how tight/dry my skin was overall, and every morning skin always looks more radiant and plump 💙💛
Good morning Dr Dray and chat have a blessed Sunday. Woohoo I have an empty the first in a long time and it’s a big one. CaraVe nourishing ointment in the tub and it’s not even winter.
Dr. Dray, I was just watching one of your videos from 2019 of a trip you and your mother took on Tybee's 2nd birthday. I was wondering how your mom and Tybee was doing. The last I heard you talk about her was about her Cancer. I hope that all is well with her. Could you please update us. We miss seeing her and Tybee.
I agree, it was always nice to see Dr. Dray’s Mom and little Tybee. I’ve noticed several posts where subscribers have asked about Dr. Dray’s Mom, but I have never seen a response. I assume that either her Mom has asked for privacy, or Dr. Dray feels that she wants to abstain from discussing some private aspects of her life for now. Like you, I wish them well. Dr. Dray & her Mom are both lovely people.
Okay Dr. Dray... I have a confession. I HATE most Neutrogena products. They usually burn my skin BUT.... I finally tried the Hydro boost cleansing gel (fragrance free) because I've seen you use it for so long..... And i have to say that I am really impressed! It didn't burn and did a pretty decent job at getting all the oil, dirt, and most makeup off! Thanks Dr. Dray! Be safe!
@@Maialeen Experience has convinced me. I used to like the Sephora cleansing oil, which seems to be discontinued, but when I tried Hadalabo for the first time I realized it's superior in consistency and emulsifies much more readily. I also tried The INKEY List Oat Cleansing Balm, which I despise, and the Albolene makeup remover. Both leave a greasy feeling on the skin, even with the double cleanse method it's hard to remove them.
I have terribly clogged pores, like, if I want to I can squeeze a pore and a little rock comes out of it. All over my inner-cheek area. I recently learned that apparently cleansing OILS are what help you get this stuff out of your pores! I wish I knew this ages ago.
Your hair is AMAZING!! so smooth, voluminous and shiny! Other than skincare, I also follow you for coffee suggestions. I bought a french press after seeing you use it. I love it! 😄
Boy your hair is gorgeous. It’s so hot and humid in Florida that I think my sunscreen is the cause of some milia. What would you recommend as I have to slather it on as I’m very fair with sun damage. There are many uncovered pools here in Florida too which I find crazy cause between frogs lizards gators palmettos which are bugs as big as airplanes no way I’d have an open pool
Going thru the car wash reminds me of the first time I had our dog w/me when I went thru a car wash. Her reaction was funny ! Her head sort of went back like she'd been struck when the water & "mop" hit the windshield. She had such a surprised expression on her face! Like "Whoa ! What is THAT??!!" 😄😄🐶 I had to pause the video at 9:14. Andrea was in the pool. It's such a nice "still" picture of her ! It looked so refreshing & relaxing when you were in the pool & yes, I can relate to what you were saying about how it makes you feel. Oh my gosh, I can totally relate about eyelashes! I love how you put it, tho, Andrea....they retalliate! Eyelashes get in my eyes way too often. So annoying !
I used to live in Texas and now I’m in Florida with a screened-in pool. I think the reason for no screen cages in Texas has to do with the weather. It is hotter and more prone to hail and tornados in much of Texas.
So, those bird-cage like things to cover the pools. In Florida it rarely snows, and when it does it's not a large amount. However, when it does snow in Huston, it can be pretty heavy amounts and the roofs of those cages just don't hold up under the weight of the snow. They collapse. So, while it would be nice, they aren't practical in a place with any amount of snowfall. This is what I was told when I asked about having one installed here in the mid-west.
A close DUPE for the CERAVE HEALING OINTMENT is the MARY KAY EXTRA EMOLLIENT NIGHT CREAM. I dont think it has the same ingredients but it feels just like the cerave. I used the Mary Kay one for years until I saw the one of your videos and i switched. VERY SIMILAR PRODUCTS!
I’ve been using the Hada labo oil cleanser ever since I’ve seen u recc it on your channel, it’s honestly the best thing I’ve ever gotten for my skin, personally I feel like I can just oil cleanse without using a proper cleanser. That thing is magic 😭
Walgreens has a "Healing Ointment" in a tube that is labeled fragrance free with ceramides and hyaluronic acid, and it looks like a dupe for the Cerave Healing Ointment. I haven't tried it, but the ingredients look similar to Cerave's but the order is just moved around a bit.
Happy Sunday Dr.Dray. XY & Z and work are always getting into my fun zone. I work 12 hr contental shift work so on my 2 days off I get all my house & garden stuff done. On the weekends that I'm off we enjoy our trailer 😎. But still have gardening and lawn work at the trailer as well. But I do that as soon as we get here. Then 🏊♀️ 👙, reading 📚, horse back riding, going to our huge St Jacob's Market or just sitting under my big 🌳 and enjoy watching 👀 the 🐦 and the 🐝 jump around in the birdbath garden. Then enjoy me some Dr Dray videos.
Just revisited this video and learned something new, I didn't realize it would help with my subasious pores I get on my nose but I do use Haba Laba oil skin cleanser...apply only to dry skin people. It does help with Tretinoin dryness I get around my lip/chin area. So, Thanks again, Love ❤
Underwater handstands in the shallow end of the pool. It is so much fun! Get some goggles if you don't have them. It's my favorite thing to do and I'm a lot older than you. Haha!
Please do a video about skin condition (vitiligo). I know there is not much to do to bring back color but there must be something that could minimally help to bring back melanin.. or maybe some tinted sunscreen? I am light skin (Mexican)
On the nights i don’t put cerave healing ointment or Nivea cream on my face… it’s just not the same. I wake up with dry skin and it’s something I only discovered after I began occluding my face at night.
I wish you were close by. My sons could totally be your swim instructor. They used to be competitive swimmers. and they are swim coaches and instructors on the side! I use Paula's Choice cleansing balm and works well for me! Enjoy your day!
Just started my 2nd bottle of softymo speedy oil. Tried 2 other oils and I think they are fine. But this one gets my pores cleaner I think. I can see the difference before and after each cleanse. Also started to use a hydrating toner before my face dries and it's been life changing. Haha.
Thank you, Dr. Dray! I just ordered some of the new Dove body wash for eczema (no fragrance or fragrance maskers) to use as a hand wash. Also like the Foaming Cetaphil for my hands. Thanks so much!
I cant seem to find where it says the specific date you posted this but I found it so interesting you said that about how but we hadn’t been getting rain like we usually do here in Houston. Usually we always get an afternoon shower around 3 pm but we haven’t had a good amount of rain in some time now!
Re Revlon, I did not know it was filing for bankruptcy. You are so right, Revlon was iconic and a top brand in beauty for decades. They had beautiful models for their campaigns. Suzy Parker and her older sister Dorian Leigh were early stars. Lauren Hutton made hx by snagging the 1st million dollar contract. Ashley Graham was the most recent Revlon 'face'. Revlon had award winning ads with star photographers like Richard Avedon. 'Fire & Ice' most well-known lip/nail ad ever. I may invest in one of those pool kickboards, they look like huge gardening knee pads. Great show with lots of variety. I liked the musings on the lost childhood concept of 'fun'.
Native Houstonian who had lived in NC and Fl the screens, are great but you need repair and they are expensive to replace; but worth it. Also there are these no-see-ins which unless you have a very fine screen.come through and bite . When my husband and I moved back to Houston he looked a place called Siena Plantation and a house w/pool and screen as were others. Too far off the beaten trail for me so we bought a house w/out screen on the pool and it was fine
This was a fun video! I'm the same way about the pool, I don't want to get out either. Lol... Sometimes, as we get older, we just have to make time to have fun! Happens every time we go in a book store! I don't know why but we turn into kids again, I love it! Anyway, I loved the video, thanks for sharing with us!
Don't you just love her. She has literally changed my life and my skin through her videos.
Me too!!
I love her she is so cute and smart (and funny)
So true! 100%
Yes love her videos

I don't know how I ever managed without a double cleanse (lol I actually just used makeup remover/micellar water to remove SPF and makeup prior) because it is such a small, but hugely enjoyable and relaxing part of my daily routine. It keeps my pores and skin so clean, but the massage and skin flake removal is hard to beat for self-care!
I use both and love them.
I’m gonna give the deep cleansing one a try thanks for the info☺️
I've switched from mineral to chemical sunscreens mainly because it is such a hassle getting the thick mineral stuff off at night!
I find that cleansing oil works very well to remove mineral sunscreen
How right you are about the concept of having fun, as an adult 😊
As you likely well know: pool exercise is a great workout because of the weightless environment. Also, nothing quite like a change of scene and pace. My facial skin has never been better since switching to the double cleanse method, esp with removing my susnscreen layer, and, as you say, it's a pleasant ritual.
I totally agree with the fun vs adulting. The responsibilities take over and the fun aspect is set aside and squeezed in if possible.
I recently picked up the Curel makeup removing oil. We’ll see after a trial, but so far it seems to leave my skin very moisturized after step two of my cleanse. My mature skin is still acne prone. I’m just hopeful it doesn’t cause a flare. I had no idea Curel was actually a Japanese brand with a full line of skincare for dry, sensitive skin. Thanks for the video Doc! ❤
Love the Hadalabo oil cleanser but sometimes it's hard to find. Maybe next time I'll try the Kose one.
Yes it is hard to find a couple of my friends went to Japan and they could find it, even though there was a lot of Hadalabo products.
Yes yes!! So great to take advantage of the pool! I’ve noticed you look more relaxed when you do, also you get very talkative and I like it! Always like hearing what you have to say!
I recently got the CeraVa Healing Ointment. I’m kind of liking it so far. Deff a great try for anyone thinking of grabbing it. Deff been body slugging with it.
Reminds me, I need to find a razor that’s good for shaving arms and legs. Still not satisfied with the one I have. Really been thinking about that retinol video. Makes me want to try more stuff that is out there.
Love ya Dr Dray!!!
You are so right about the adult fun factor, at this time in my life it is rare.. I need a “me vacation”, all alone just doing what I want.
Double cleansing saved my skin, thanks to you Dr. Dray!! The iunik calendula cleansing oil is the best one i've tried, it's amazing 🙌
I haven't tried the Hada Labo cleansing oil but it sounds like one I'd like to try. Simple brand had a cleansing oil that I tried several years ago and I really liked it but it disappeared. 🤷 I still enjoy the Inkey List cleansing balm. Happy Sunday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a lovely evening. 💞
It's my favorite and I've been using it for years, ever since she first started talking about it. I order it about five at a time from Amazon.
Love that kettle! It's very quick to come to temp too. :) I use the Aquation Retinol body cream and it's lovely. It's almost a gel-cream, very light but hydrating without feeling heavy or greasy. I really want to try the collagen formula too! :) Yes! When I get a lash in my eye, it always seems to be while I'm driving. Arghhh... It is sad that Revlon is struggling. The bankruptcy also involves Almay as they are both owned by the same company.
That thumpa-thumpa music for the car wash 😂 LOLL Love it
This is going to be fun! Happy Sunday!💕💕you brighten everyone’s day, including mine!
👱♀️❤
I'm so glad you're having fun & I agree with you! THANK YOU for the AmLactin recommendation! I've been using the 15% lactic acid one everyday for 2 weeks and oof, it's amazing on my body! Instantly softens and moisturizes. I'm pretty sure my whole face & body routine is because of you lol it works! For cleansing oils I love Purito's From Green then I follow with cetaphil's gentle skin (new formula), amazing for my eczema and redness prone skin
Such a fun video and life should be fun, it’s all about perspective. Have an awesome week Dr Dray and everyone in general 🏊♀️🏊♂️🏊
those pool birdcages are excellent for keeping the pool clean, and protect the neighborhood wandering children from falling in, too. However they are very expensive. For us, it was worth the additional expense.
They are definitely worth it. Years ago I worked at a building that had almost every type of profession you could think of in it to include teachers for learning disabled in autistic children and other special needs children. The building sat right in the middle of a residential community out in a rural area and one of the kids somehow made his way to the pool and luckily the teacher realize a child was missing and he was in the pool and she jumped in after him but could not swim. She just felt so responsible when I think the homeowner should have been responsible and don't worry, they both survived, others came to the rescue but given the fact that they were located next to this facility and many people had pools in the area, the covers or at least a good fence should have been a requirement.
Hii Dr. Andrea, do try eating Jackfruit once, it tastes heavenly! It's a very common fruit in Bengal, India (that's where I live) and it's my favourite! Plus it has great nutritional benefits! 😊❤
I had a jackfruit tree in my house when I used to live in Karachi....i ate so much of jackfruit in my childhood and yeah it tastes heavenly😋
@@affiraabbasi5348 ❤❤
Love jackfruit 💕
Jackfruit tacos are good , cooked with cilantro and onion
Happy Sunday Dr Dray, your videos are really fun to watch every morning! Giving you credit for getting me on the Cerave Healing ointment game 💙💛 been mostly using it all over my face ( I have pretty dry skin especially around the eyes) I’m about to be finishing a big tub I’ve purchased about a year ago and using the squeeze bottle one when traveling. Really changed how tight/dry my skin was overall, and every morning skin always looks more radiant and plump 💙💛
Good morning Dr Dray and chat have a blessed Sunday. Woohoo I have an empty the first in a long time and it’s a big one. CaraVe nourishing ointment in the tub and it’s not even winter.
I love what you said about having fun, when you are a child than as an adult, that is so true.
Dr. Dray, I was just watching one of your videos from 2019 of a trip you and your mother took on Tybee's 2nd birthday.
I was wondering how your mom and Tybee was doing. The last I heard you talk about her was about her Cancer. I hope that all is well with her. Could you please update us. We miss seeing her and Tybee.
I agree, it was always nice to see Dr. Dray’s Mom and little Tybee. I’ve noticed several posts where subscribers have asked about Dr. Dray’s Mom, but I have never seen a response. I assume that either her Mom has asked for privacy, or Dr. Dray feels that she wants to abstain from discussing some private aspects of her life for now. Like you, I wish them well. Dr. Dray & her Mom are both lovely people.
The pool area at your building is lovely. Happy Sunday!
Okay Dr. Dray... I have a confession.
I HATE most Neutrogena products. They usually burn my skin BUT.... I finally tried the Hydro boost cleansing gel (fragrance free) because I've seen you use it for so long..... And i have to say that I am really impressed! It didn't burn and did a pretty decent job at getting all the oil, dirt, and most makeup off! Thanks Dr. Dray! Be safe!
Once I started using Asian cleansing oils, everything else underwhelmed me. They are that good.
Can you tell me which ones you use? Did you purchase on Amazon? Will the oil remove mineral sunscreen?
That's hilarious. I think that's just you convincing yourself for some bizarre reason.
@@chincaglieria i am using mineral sunscreen and I only use softymo at the end of the day and its really good.
@@Maialeen Experience has convinced me. I used to like the Sephora cleansing oil, which seems to be discontinued, but when I tried Hadalabo for the first time I realized it's superior in consistency and emulsifies much more readily. I also tried The INKEY List Oat Cleansing Balm, which I despise, and the Albolene makeup remover. Both leave a greasy feeling on the skin, even with the double cleanse method it's hard to remove them.
@@JeanC... thank you
Just simply love your vlog! So relaxing and like listening to a friend! More vlogs pls 😍😍😍 thank you for yet another great video !
I have terribly clogged pores, like, if I want to I can squeeze a pore and a little rock comes out of it. All over my inner-cheek area. I recently learned that apparently cleansing OILS are what help you get this stuff out of your pores! I wish I knew this ages ago.
Your hair is AMAZING!! so smooth, voluminous and shiny! Other than skincare, I also follow you for coffee suggestions. I bought a french press after seeing you use it. I love it! 😄
She’s the reason I buy function of beauty for my hair as well as Athletic Greens lol
@@Paradigm-change I am thinking of buying those too. And the Pique tea. 😁
I just noticed how much thicker your hair has become. It looks so good!
Boy your hair is gorgeous. It’s so hot and humid in Florida that I think my sunscreen is the cause of some milia. What would you recommend as I have to slather it on as I’m very fair with sun damage. There are many uncovered pools here in Florida too which I find crazy cause between frogs lizards gators palmettos which are bugs as big as airplanes no way I’d have an open pool
Going thru the car wash reminds me of the first time I had our dog w/me when I went thru a car wash. Her reaction was funny ! Her head sort of went back like she'd been struck when the water & "mop" hit the windshield. She had such a surprised expression on her face! Like "Whoa ! What is THAT??!!" 😄😄🐶
I had to pause the video at 9:14. Andrea was in the pool. It's such a nice "still" picture of her !
It looked so refreshing & relaxing when you were in the pool & yes, I can relate to what you were saying about how it makes you feel.
Oh my gosh, I can totally relate about eyelashes! I love how you put it, tho, Andrea....they retalliate! Eyelashes get in my eyes way too often. So annoying !
I love Dr Dray with her little kickboards lol Reminds me of my lil nephews trying to swim tbh
I'm using the Hada Labo cleansing oil too! Works great on my sensitive skin
4:15 this music 🎶🎼 you were putting had me moving and grooving 🤸🏻🏃dancing as if I was playing a mortal Kombat game on the 90s!!!
I used to live in Texas and now I’m in Florida with a screened-in pool. I think the reason for no screen cages in Texas has to do with the weather. It is hotter and more prone to hail and tornados in much of Texas.
We have hurricanes. I would never cover my pool bc of that.
I started watching Dr. Dray a couple of years ago. I NEVER miss her blogs. She is perfect in every way.
So, those bird-cage like things to cover the pools. In Florida it rarely snows, and when it does it's not a large amount. However, when it does snow in Huston, it can be pretty heavy amounts and the roofs of those cages just don't hold up under the weight of the snow. They collapse. So, while it would be nice, they aren't practical in a place with any amount of snowfall. This is what I was told when I asked about having one installed here in the mid-west.
Yeayy back to Hadalabo! Thank you for introducing this product years ago. I am soooo in love!
Yesss thank you for the tips for sebaceous filaments. I just picked up the hado labo and lrp effaclar.
A close DUPE for the CERAVE HEALING OINTMENT is the MARY KAY EXTRA EMOLLIENT NIGHT CREAM. I dont think it has the same ingredients but it feels just like the cerave. I used the Mary Kay one for years until I saw the one of your videos and i switched. VERY SIMILAR PRODUCTS!
I’ve been using the Hada labo oil cleanser ever since I’ve seen u recc it on your channel, it’s honestly the best thing I’ve ever gotten for my skin, personally I feel like I can just oil cleanse without using a proper cleanser. That thing is magic 😭
Walgreens has a "Healing Ointment" in a tube that is labeled fragrance free with ceramides and hyaluronic acid, and it looks like a dupe for the Cerave Healing Ointment. I haven't tried it, but the ingredients look similar to Cerave's but the order is just moved around a bit.
i just purchased the hada labo cleansing oil and i love the consistency is so smooth and gentle!
Happy Sunday Dr.Dray. XY & Z and work are always getting into my fun zone. I work 12 hr contental shift work so on my 2 days off I get all my house & garden stuff done. On the weekends that I'm off we enjoy our trailer 😎. But still have gardening and lawn work at the trailer as well. But I do that as soon as we get here. Then 🏊♀️ 👙, reading 📚, horse back riding, going to our huge St Jacob's Market or just sitting under my big 🌳 and enjoy watching 👀 the 🐦 and the 🐝 jump around in the birdbath garden. Then enjoy me some Dr Dray videos.
Just revisited this video and learned something new, I didn't realize it would help with my subasious pores I get on my nose but I do use Haba Laba oil skin cleanser...apply only to dry skin people. It does help with Tretinoin dryness I get around my lip/chin area. So,
Thanks again, Love ❤
You look so pretty in the tomato red tee & green swimsuit! 😍 I remember your vow from a few years back about gray clothing.
Underwater handstands in the shallow end of the pool. It is so much fun! Get some goggles if you don't have them. It's my favorite thing to do and I'm a lot older than you. Haha!
Yes, where I live (Sacramento) is getting hotter and drier every year. My native Seattle is getting warmer & wetter each year. Implications, for sure.
I’m in sacramento too. 100 plus weather 😅
Happy Sunday Dr Dray and everyone 🌸
She’s the best -she’s beautiful,smart ,and funny! I love her!
Please do a video about skin condition (vitiligo). I know there is not much to do to bring back color but there must be something that could minimally help to bring back melanin.. or maybe some tinted sunscreen?
I am light skin (Mexican)
On the nights i don’t put cerave healing ointment or Nivea cream on my face… it’s just not the same. I wake up with dry skin and it’s something I only discovered after I began occluding my face at night.
Nivea creates black heads on my skin.
I wish you were close by. My sons could totally be your swim instructor. They used to be competitive swimmers. and they are swim coaches and instructors on the side! I use Paula's Choice cleansing balm and works well for me! Enjoy your day!
I love the Paula's Choice Perfect Cleansing Oil and have used it for years but I must say I'm tempted to try these!!
Just showing some love, Dr. Dray. Thanks for being you ☺️
Have a beautiful Sunday Dr Dray and peeps ❤️ ❤️🌞☕🍵💐
Happy Sunday, Dr. Dray 🌞 🧴
👱♀️❤
Happy Sunday
Nice haircut, Dr. Dray 😊...It looks healthy and full...Thank you for all of your informative videos!
Just started my 2nd bottle of softymo speedy oil. Tried 2 other oils and I think they are fine. But this one gets my pores cleaner I think. I can see the difference before and after each cleanse. Also started to use a hydrating toner before my face dries and it's been life changing. Haha.
Thank you, Dr. Dray! I just ordered some of the new Dove body wash for eczema (no fragrance or fragrance maskers) to use as a hand wash. Also like the Foaming Cetaphil for my hands.
Thanks so much!
Dr. Dray, I get you about the "having fun" concept...completely agree. 😒
I cant seem to find where it says the specific date you posted this but I found it so interesting you said that about how but we hadn’t been getting rain like we usually do here in Houston. Usually we always get an afternoon shower around 3 pm but we haven’t had a good amount of rain in some time now!
I have been so curious about BOTH of these oils so thank you for doing this!!!
Re Revlon, I did not know it was filing for bankruptcy.
You are so right, Revlon was iconic and a top brand in beauty for decades.
They had beautiful models for their campaigns. Suzy Parker and her older sister Dorian Leigh were early stars.
Lauren Hutton made hx by snagging the 1st million dollar contract.
Ashley Graham was the most recent Revlon 'face'.
Revlon had award winning ads with star photographers like Richard Avedon.
'Fire & Ice' most well-known lip/nail ad ever.
I may invest in one of those pool kickboards, they look like huge gardening knee pads.
Great show with lots of variety.
I liked the musings on the lost childhood concept of 'fun'.
I just love your videos! You are so enjoyable and funny and of course knowledgeable!
Native Houstonian who had lived in NC and Fl the screens, are great but you need repair and they are expensive to replace; but worth it. Also there are these no-see-ins which unless you have a very fine screen.come through and bite . When my husband and I moved back to Houston he looked a place called Siena Plantation and a house w/pool and screen as were others. Too far off the beaten trail for me so we bought a house w/out screen on the pool and it was fine
I have used the Hada Labo cleaning oil ever since you recommended it.
I make mundane things fun. We only get one life and I try not to take that for granted.
That is the right attitude 👍🏼
This was a fun video! I'm the same way about the pool, I don't want to get out either. Lol... Sometimes, as we get older, we just have to make time to have fun! Happens every time we go in a book store! I don't know why but we turn into kids again, I love it! Anyway, I loved the video, thanks for sharing with us!
Car washes are the equivalent of Disney rides for me
The pool gives me a burst of energy.
Her hair is soo dreamy 🥰
Try the MUJI cleansing oil too! There are two variants, choose the clearer one, the other is kinda yellowish and it’s a bit heavier.
