GREAT VIDEO! I like the idea of doing "VS" videos. I was hoping to learn more about saturated fats (stearic, palmitic) VS polyunsaturated fats (linoleic, linolenic, oleic) in skin care. As someone who struggles with hyperpigmention, PIH, PIE, I wonder if one type is better than the other or if they even play a part in this condition or conditions like rosacea, excessively dry skin, etc. I would love to see a VS video that addresses some facts and myths about these fatty acids in skin care. Thanks for the great content. It's so educational and also very interesting.

Every other doctor I watch on KZread says the same thing you just said about sleep, sugar and exercise. Thanks for speaking the simple truth.

Dr Dray, I have a completely unrelated question: how does one adjust their skin care routine (AM/PM) when they are a graveyard shift worker? Would you do your PM routine at night before work? Or just before going to bed? And your AM routine before work or right after work?

This is an outstanding primer on skin health! And did you read the study from Japan that found lifting weights specifically improves the quality of skin? More than exercise as a whole. Fascinating! I read it in The Washington Post I think.

I have to stop the video and comment. You raised such an important point. We often don’t follow one thing bcz we can’t follow the others. Like all or nothing n lose motivation. And what you said sleep >>> anything else is so so true. This is priceless in today’s time and the easiest thing to compromise. When the foundation is not strong and how can we expect to build on it! But i’m a victim of this too. I would worry about not doing other things (simply bcz I’m not disciplined) and then being unsuccessful affects my sleep. Sleep is non negotiable 😢

i completely agree that sleep is most important if you have to prioritize. i was waking up at 4am every day to workout getting no sleep and stressed at work. it aged me 5 years over the course of one year. this year, i got a new job, took a break from working out so i could reset my sleep schedule and prioritize my sleep for a few months, and now i’m back in the gym but i’m able to sleep 8 hours every single night and still wake up early enough to work out. sometimes you have to chose one to prioritize, and sleep should always come first!!

Doctor Andrea you are absolutely right and i totally agree with you about that cosmetic products have a supporting role in our lives and not the main one, which is our way of lifestyle the way it "SHOULD" be not the current one which is sedentary alongside with an unhealthy diet (i am also guilty because i like sugary stuff 😂 but i do try to avoid them at some degree like i drink tea and camomile without sugar just lemon wedges inside and there are still delicious 😊❤). Today's video was super enlightening because at least to me clarified the differences between these terms that seem so similar and can't tell them apart 😂 so thank you for that. You are so cool ❤ 😎.

I have olive Mediterranean skin and used to have the same experience. I got my acne under control with tretinoin years ago but the slightest skin irritation - like minor paper cuts, minor burns from cooking oil, scratches, literally anything - produced dark marks that would take months to fade. It all changed when I started taking glutathione (liposomal form is best). Dark scars and marks from any skin irritation now fade much more quickly, like in a month or so instead of 5 or 6.

Be careful with AHA-s! I’ve tried an AHA/BHA exfoliant. And it made my skin really red and inflamed. If you have sensitive skin use one acid at a time. Do not use AHA/BHA together! The lower concentration the better! And don’t overuse them. One to two time a week is enough.

Thanks for the great information! Have a great weekend!🥰

Assuming you live in the US, any physician can prescribe Tretinoin. Ask your GP for a prescription in the same percentage as you are getting from Curology. Then buy the other two actives in your Curology prescription separately. This will be more expensive initially but purchased separately these products will last much longer, saving you money over time.
