    Summary of treating a damaged skin barrier:
    1. Cleanse once a day with cool water using a gentle cleanser.
    2. Minimize the number of products that you use. Keep it simple.
    3. Use occlusive products.
    4. Take a temporary break from exfoliating acids, retinoids, etc.
    5. Use a humidifier.
    6. Wear gloves and moisturize your hands.
    7. Vaseline/petrolatum is your friend.

    Wow, you basically described my skin in my late 20s. I had red patches all over my face, and I, being naive, followed the influencer trend of exfoliating because "it renews your skin". Needless to say, I started using Cerave when I started watching you and my skin has never been smoother and better. I wish I knew about you in my 20s.

    • @arlene4434
      @arlene4434 3 года назад

      @R Rooster (Sorry this is long) So I use Albolene first to melt away the makeup and sunscreen, rubbing it in like lotion, and then I gently tissue it off with kleenex (Don't use cloths or wipes as they can irritate the skin) and then in order to remove the Albolene residue and the remaining gunk on my face, I use a very mild, gentle cleanser like Aveeno Gentle Oat cleanser. Finally, since Albolene and very gentle cleanser can still leave a little bit of makeup behind, I use Neutrogena fragrance free body oil to wash off all the left over stuff. Rinse and Repeat with the oil lol. I wear slightly heavier makeup so you may not need the oil step. Your face won't feel squeaky but that's good! And if your face is super damaged and irritated, I find Eucerin Healing Cream is great and acts as a temporary barrier. It's the richest cream I've used.

    This video contains great and useful information. I'd been suffering with a persistent patch of eczema on my lower cheek and jawline that I absolutely couldn't rid myself of. Following Dr. Dray's advice, namely, taking a break from my facial routines (serums, retinoids, various washes) and going without makeup for about a week, and using an occlusive, colloidal oat-based eczema healing cream (Eucerin) I'm finally free of the eczema. As Dr. Dray has mentioned in the past, the healing cream I used was for face AND body, I didn't get hung up on the marketing aspect of using only a "face" product on my face. A body product on my face worked just fine, maybe the richness of the product is what I needed on my face (and ounce per ounce was cheaper too). Plus it didn't break me out, which was my main concern.

      That has happened to me. I completely destroyed my skin barrier! Started off with PD and then morphed into a full face of sore, red, spotty and dry skin. I couldn't take SPF or anything like it. No actives, not even vit c. cerave has helped me get through the worst of it, and only now, 7 months later, I'm beginning to heal. What a ride. Avene Ciclafete also helped at night. Cerave for the win though, never thought i'd say that after years of expensive skincare.

    I am soooo glad I found this video! I've been suffering from acne on my chin and I guess I've overdone with different skin treatments for acne (both treatments by estheticians and at-home), and now I'm suffering from a damaged skin barrier. My face feels super sensitive and flares up and feels itchy even when I do some things which didn't use to cause problems, like washing my face with tap water, heat from a hair-dryer, walking in the sun even with SPF50 suncreen on, using hyaluronic acid serums that I've been using for ages... I looked at the list of products that you recommend for restoring the skin barrier, and luckily I already had CeraVe moisturising cream, but I used it only for my body. I decided to put it on my face and I felt instant relief! I couldn't believe that such an affordable product could do wonders for my sensitized skin and be so soothing! Thank you, Dr. Dray! Now I'm your fan!

    Hey, I had to reach out and say thanks ! I’ve been struggling about 2 years with red skin above lip and nose area that was getting worse as time goes on and would peel and texture was different. Watched your video unfortunately after using hot water, face scrub, LOL. Decided to moisturize and try the vaseline trick and woke up next morning and was socked at how much redness had improved from the vaseline. Started following your recommendations and its definitely getting better after 2 days. Ended up getting the barrier cream, I’m so happy. 😀. THANK YOU !

My (male) dermatologist took one look at my face and told me I need a laser and handed me a business card for a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon. That was it. That was his advice. Not one suggestion for something less radical or less expensive.
    I appreciate you and your detailed explanations and product recommendations.

      Serum applied to wet skin: either the ordinary niacinamide or Purito unscented serum
      Moisturizer: aveeno oat gel moisturizer 🙌🏼
