Thank you Dr. V for all your knowledge and recommendations for skin of colour! I’m learning so much from you. My skin got very irritated from using an cleansing oil containing essential oils and fragrance. But I’ve since returned this product. I now know better! Starting using rosehip oil and it’s done wonders for my skin :)

yes to a video on double moisturizing / triple hydrating!! thank you so much for your consistent content. you have no idea how much you've helped me understand my skin better!! i wish this type of information was so much more readily available to us aaaa. i also hope that there will be more globally available skincare formulated for our skin one day : (

Yes, please do a video on double or triple Hydration! This video is very helpful! I use Paula's Choice SPF 50 moisturizer in the morning and find my skin very dry so I add argan oil to my skin. I will start using it at night instead to see if I notice a difference where I don't need it in the day any morning

Yes to the double hydrating for this dry skin girl!!

So happy to have watched this. I bought the facial cleanser and moisturizer from Tatcha which is very expensive and was disappointed that i had a reaction to it. The lavender scent was a dead giveaway that i really needed to check the ingredients. You are right!!

You’ve helped so much with my skin care journey! Ugh, ure such a blessing! Thank u

Dr. V I love the way u explain everything it makes it so easier to understand

Nice! I actually put the facial oils last because logically, in my head, if I put the oil before my moisturizer, it will just trap it there and make my skin super oily! I use jojoba oil since I’m in California and the climate is always dry, even during the winter seasons.

Thank you so much for all of your videos Dr Vanita they are soo helpful!! Would love it if you could do a review of the Boots skincare line called ‘Your Good Skin’ 🙏🏾

Thank you so much! This video was extremely helpful in making right choice about oils!!

Hi Dr V, my skin is no longer dry and appears much plumper since I’ve been double hydrating with Certraben and organic rose hip oil from The Ordinary. I’ll be 69 years old in a few weeks and my skin has never looked so hydrated. I’m hooked!!! Thank you soooo much. ❤️

Hi, can you do a video for skin that is hyperpigmentated(with large pores) and oily, acne prone please? I looked at your The Ordinary videos on these subjects, but wasn't sure which one would be most suitable for my skin, or how to combine both routines. Thanks.

First I wanted to thank you for all the amazing video's you post for skin of color!! So I have been trying to find more information about clove and it's benefits, but couldn't really find any good studies. What is your opinion on using clove oil on sensitive acne prone skin? I would love to hear from you!! Thank you :)

Wow this info is very useful. I do experience the tight skin in the mornings and always wondered why. Now I’ll double hydrate❤️

Hello dr. V❤ Could you perhaps make a video on natural products that are considered to be good for the skin such as aloe vera gel, rosewater, milk etc.? Love you always!❤🤗

I’ve understood, for pore-care, that jojoba oil can be used as a specific kind of sebum-targeting cleanser, as it’s 97% identical structure-wise to our skin’s natural oil, sebum. Do you agree with this? That we let it sit for 5 minutes, massage the targeted areas afterwards and then wash it off? I’m tempted to buy a pure, organic jojoba oil :)

Yessss! Double and triple moisturizer methods please!

I absolutely love watching your videos! I find them very engaging and informative. Will you please share the benefits of using Rosehip Oil on the face?

Thank you so much for these videos Dr. Vanita. I did have a question, I read some ayurveda books many years ago and they recommended to use plant oils only for moisturizing, so ever since then that is all I use as moisturizer and it has been really really good for me. I've been doing that for 16 years now and my skin today looks the same as it did when I started. However the ayurveda books also said to use a tiny amount of essential oils diluted in the main oil for problems, for example lavender EO to calm or disinfect your skin, tea tree oil for acne etc. Only a tiny amount. What would be your take on ayurvedic skincare routines?

Q: What's the point of wearing more expensive oils with antioxidants if it won't penetrate into your skin? Aren't you better off just going with squalene or choosing one based off level of hydration you need?) Asking bc Dr. V specifically recommends rosehip oil in her downloadable Skincare Guide (and uses it herself at night).

Yes please to the double and triple hydrating video!!

Ur vids are engaging as hell ur a really good speaker as well U dnt need no music

Hi Dr, Thanks a lot for your great videos!! I have an acne prone skin and i have been using a little bit of aloevera plus jojoba oil and it really made a huge improvement, i thought jojoba oil is regulating the sebum level on the skin and that is the oil to consider for acne issue, could you please explain why it is best to avoid it, and what's the alternative for an acne prone skin. Thanksss

what are your thoughts on derma rolling? what skincare routine would you recommend after derma rolling.

Oh yes been looking forward to this .You such a darling 🥰

Yes. Please do the video on how you double moisturize and how you triple hydrate. I would like to hear about both.

One thing I wanted to bring attention to and hope Dr V you can talk about; how different health conditions can affect/cause acne. I recently was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, which explains a lot of my hormonal acne. It started with requesting a blood test from my doctor as I noticed more and more hormonal acne every month. I'd highly recommend this approach to people who are struggling with similar symptoms. It's only now that what Dr V has been recommending for hyperpigmentation after bouts of acne do I see a difference with the products I'm using. Hope this helps anyone in the same boat :)

I also at the same time that i was getting so sensitive to cold ( i live in Texas 🔥 and this summer i had to wear my winter socks and hoodie in the house). This is a telltale sign of a low functioning thyroid, which also impacts uptake of B12 which then becomes a domino effect in about every function of the body. Now that i have been taking something to support the thyroid, i can see the wheels turning. Its only been less than 2 weeks, am so excited to see what happens long term.
