I just went to my 6th dermatologist for hair and hyperpigmentation yesterday. Came home in tears because they have no idea how to treat skin conditions for PoC. Every doctor/nurse/incoming patients... NONE of them looked like me. Not one doctor sent me for bloodwork or really looked/touched my skin. I’m just so tired. PCOS is the absolute worst. It makes me furious to witness actual doctors be so dismissive. Thank you for sharing important skincare I would be even more lost without your channel. I should send you my co-pay🤣... I paid 30$ yesterday to be told to go tanning. 😫 And I just got to the end of your video and one of my doctors (the one I visited the most) actually suggested electrolysis, this is the same guy who prescribed me $50 bleaching cream that did not agree with my skin - twice. 😤
Once I pay off some of my responsibilities, I definitely am investing electrolysis because HONEY!!!! I’m tired of plucking, every other day to week. Groupon is my friend! and PCOS is the devil so I’m taking control of my pancreas.
You have no idea how much these videos have helped me! I have a question: for pitted acne scars like ice pick ones, what do you suggest? I know there’s a variety of treatments but I’m curious to know which is best for skin of color. Thank you ! 💖
Excellent question! Even I have one of those ice picks..🙈courtesy of me trying to extract blackheads using fingers and nails. (Mis)Information courtesy: high school senior 🥺
I hope you're still in the comments. A video on removing and preventing skin tags would be great. I have really small ones that are more like tiny moles. General body care would be great as well, including information on spider veins.
You tie one of your hair strand around it ( make sure it's really tight, get someone else to do it), and cut the leftover hair with scissors. Just leave it until it comes off. I removed a bunch of skintags I had doing this method.
I’ve done one round of laser hair removal and the difference is major! Already a lot of hair has fallen out and my skin is brighter. If your in the uk check out Therapie Clinic they have offers and have a machine that’s good for skin of colour
I’ve done laser hair removal on just about every part of my body including my face. If you have PCOS you’ll see about 90% different. However, please note, regardless of how it’s advertised laser hair removal is not permanent...I got it done first in 2006 and went back last year 2019 for a second round (touch ups) ...so about every 15 years which isn’t bad all things considered. Also NEVER ever pay full price for laser if you’re in the states. It’s an over saturated market so you can find Groupons. As long as they are using the YAG laser it’s all good.
Words aren’t enough to describe how amazing your channel is! I have been “fighting” against hyperpigmentation since I was a child, and many procedures I have done just turned things worse. It’s so good to know (and follow!) a professional like you. I feel represented for the first time in my life when it comes to skin of color! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and for having no sponsored content! I’m from Brazil and maaany people here have skin of color. I always recommend your channel. 🥰
I swear you be on time. I've had to deal with facial hair for 30 years. Had laser treatments years ago, and it returned after a while. I have been using Nair Cream on my face and it burns, leaving me with slight Hyperpigmentation on my cheeks and chins. I follow your layering for hyperpigmentation and it works wonderfully, but I still have a way to go.
I've been looking forward to a video on this topic. Thank you so much! After 10+ years of removing facial hair, I've developed hyperpigmentation around the mouth and chin. Like you said, the pigmentation is worse than actually having the hair. I wish I had been more informed at a younger age. Hope more people watch this video and learn to avoid the common mistakes.
Dr. V can you plzzzzz cover eye creams and how to further moisturize around the eyes? The skin around my eyes have been struggling. Thank you for your videos they have changed my skin health so much 😭❤️❤️❤️
Yes please, if I only use eye cream, then the skin will look dry after a few hours (while the rest of the face’s moisturizer is still damp) Then I tried to put sleeping mask on top, still dry in the morning.. So I add moisturizer on top of eye gel, then another layer of occlusive cream to keep the area moist, but Im concern if it will cause milia/not if I continue that way
Use cerave moisturizer cream under eyes while it’s damp after washing your face..use only an oil cleanser followed my a gently cleanser to remove eye makeup if u do use..make sure your drinking enough water..and lastly you can put a small amount of either aquaphor or cerave healing ointment right under before bedtime!
Dr. Rattan, your advice is transforming my skin! Thank you so much for the invaluable information. One of my fellow Desi friends said that her dermatologist told her that something like 75%+ of Asian and African descended people are allergic to dairy, and that her acne was caused by a dairy sensitivity. She cut out dairy and her acne and PIH cleared up a little over a week later. Could you perhaps talk about allergies/sensitivities unique to people of color and how they affect our skin?
I’m only saying this so for sure others won’t make the same terrible mistake I did. Waxed my upper lip while on adapalene (I KNOW!!!😭😭😭) and I still have a hyperpigmentation mark from that, it completely tore my upper lip apart. Been on a consistent routine with vit c, alpha Arbutin, mineral spf and tretinoin and it’s been slowly improving. But nearly 1.5 years later and it’s still there so rip to her..
Hi Dr. V! 1) Could you do a video on dark circles,under eye wrinkles and crow's feet? 2)Please review Niamax D and Niamax under eye gel. It seems to have good ingredients. 3) Retinol products in India 4) More toner options 5)Body care products (sunscreen & moisturizer suggestions) available in India.
I soooo needed this. Can you do a video on how to get rid of rough facial skin texture. That orange peel look that you can see even under makeup. Thanks. You're such a blessing 😘
I'm waiting for this video as well. I want to start wearing suncreen and have been doin research on which one to get and I'm leaning towards the Purito one but I need to hear what Dr. V has to say about it before I buy it.
I tried purito deep sea pure water cream (blue) because Im looking for moisturizer for dry skin, love it, the cream turned to watery texture when applied :)
As a holistic master esthetician of over thirty years and a dark skinned women I have seen people damage their skin by threading, waxing and plucking. The best way I have found to have my clients have flawless skin after removing hair with no bacterial or fungal or discoloration issues, is to simply shave. I do recommend shaving daily in areas of extra hair growth like you chin, lip and eye brows. This has shown to be a great way to remove hair , it is clean and healthy and I and my clients have no discoloration In Those areas or break outs🙌🏻 Just some extra skin Love 🍑Lisa Peaches Skin Care
Thank you sooo much...i had been contemplating on this for a while after getting hyperpigmentation from threading. I'm definately going to start shaving now.💙
I had a reaction a few years ago with waxing my eyebrows when using retinol, it burned my skin, so she is absolutely right. I wish I knew that back then. I also used hair removal cream on my face and it became irritated, now I have hyperpigmentation around my upper lip on one side. I will probably look into the epilator. Great video Dr. V, thank you.
I was a waxer pre-covid and not a dermatologist so keep that in mind, but generally hair/skin/nails biotin supplements are the main thing I can think of.
I am part of a hirsutism group. So many complain of overflow if facial hair upon laser in other areas than original target spot. They say electrolysis worked well. Fewer people of color though in that group. But people of color complained of growth induced by laser
I’m so glad that i watched this! I have a lot of hair bumps that get inflamed on my face if i shave. My dermatologist had recommended that I do the electro to remove the hair from my face. Whew i just dodged a huge mistake! Thank you!
I love laser hair removal for my face! It does have a cooling system with it and it has removed my hair wonderfully! Good to know about the other removal methods for skin of color!
Omg, I had an epilator (good quality btw) and it was so painful and all these people were saying it hurts at first but then you get used to it and I was like "HOW??!" I never got used to it, stopped using it after trying for 4-5 months in vain
Well I have spent the last 35 years dealing with facial hair removal been there and done it . After years of lasering the dark hair has now become blond and finer with a few thick grey hairs but.... with age I’m now bloody long sighted and can’t see the darn hairs and look like a fuzz ball out in natural light . Oh the joys of getting old 😖😩🙄
Can you pls also do a video on face bleaches like Jolen? Are these okay for our skin? I feel like every Asian lady uses these at some point in her life, but are they even right for our skin?! Thank you 🙌🏼❤️
I've not even finished watching the video yet and have already formed an opinion that you're the best youtuber I've found yet! So real & full of information! And funny too LOL! Where were your resources when I was in high school and made all the mistakes due to societal pressures of being clear skinned and hair free? Oh well!
hi! LOVE YOUR VIDEO can you please do a video on bioderma please! i live in egypt and bioderma is a pretty well priced skincare brand that doesn’t try to whiten your skin😭😭 thank you!!
Bioderma SPF 50 Max & variants as well as Bioderma Cicabio SPF 50 reviews please :) Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us in a way that is manageable to understand. Your positive energy is so lovely. Thanks from Ireland
You are truly an amazing person You are so kind to post all this information for free. A reliable trustworthy souce of much needed information I wish your products were available in mainstream shops it would be my dream come true. Thank You
This was so helpful. I have learned the hard way about hair removal creams and tweezers. I've gotten better with the tweezers since I tend to get ingrown hairs, especially around my chin and jawline. Because I experience hyperpigmentation when I nick my skin during tweezing, is there anything I should do to prep my skin when trying to remove ingrown hairs?
I thread and i cut myself sometimes...this had led to hyperpigmentation which had taken so long to fade and i'm still on the journey to clear skin. Then i started thinking what can i use as a barrier to protect my skin during threading and thought i would try vaseline which actually worksled amazingly. Also do hair removal straight after shower when your pores are open so hairs will be easier to be pulled out.
Shilpa91000 please try something other than petroleum as it is a waste product from the manufacturing of oil and gasoline. ( look it up) It contains way to many things that are not healthy. As the Dr. stated, use an oil on your face.
Hello doctor, I have been following your advice on rosacea acne hyperpignmented skin, by using alpha abutin, vitamin c and nicenmide. When will the hyperpignmented scars start to fade? Thank you, love your videos, they help me so much xx
Hey Dr. V Thanks a ton for the good work you are doing in disseminating information on skincare for coloured skin. It's absolutely wonderful. Could you suggest which laser hair reduction technology is best suited for women of colour?
I can't thank you enough.❤️ You are a life saver. I don't buy any skincare product without getting your approval. You earned the respect of community ❤️
Thanks so much Dr V! I’ve recommended you to my whole family! Can you do a video on benzoyl peroxide? Also, I’m interested whether you recommend hydrocolloid pads for acne?
I'm so excited it's my first time in the comment section while your here. Please could you do a video on how we should start with retinol percentages Also why retinol and retinoid, what is the difference? How much is safe for indian tone please please please xxxzz
hey I heard that there’s a powder that helps with hyperpigmentation under the arms as well ass removing the hair @chandleralexiss on tik tok talks about how it helped her
@@chelabella5635 yes I had seen that video a few days ago but I was dubious after seeing it and if it actually helps. I feel like it might irritate my skin (and can also burn it if not carefully used) and just might make my hyperpigmentation worse. I've come to a point in life where I've accepted my hyperpigmentation and I'm just going to leave it alone lol :) thanks anyways though
I missed you again. I am 50 years old and still have breakouts and I have sensitive skin. I also have hyperpigmentation. Can you do a video on how to treat all the above at the same time as I get confused in what I should be using.
Thanks for all your help. I started with your plans 1 month ago and I am seeing amazing results. I wanted to ask, is there a full body lotion to treat hyperpigmentation?
Hello doctor, thank you so much for the amazing info! Subbed :) You’re a life saver! Just a quick question, will there be any long term detrimental effects of waxing/threading/epilating the face/cheeks? Some people have been saying that your face will get damaged in the long run if you use those methods. Could you please shed light to this?
I did threading on myself for 4 years straight everyday and bec of that I got hypperpigmentation on my upper lips and chin it looked very bad so I stop doing threading completely, I used vitamin C to get rid of hyperpigmentation . Now my upper lips and chin looks fine . But i do have lots of hairs on chin and upper lips . Now I am trying laster hair removal at home . I also tried plucking but for me that takes for ever.
I am not a woman of color but have a bit of Nigerian DNA…. I have dark and thick hair despite a pink skin tone. Also, I get hyperpigmentation so easily! Here because after tweezing for years, I’m getting hyperpigmentation around my upper lip. Also have hair on my back and everywhere really…. Since small so not PCOS. Hoping this is still applicable.
Thank you so much for doing all of these videos. So many individuals on RUclips do and say things simply based on sponsorships and money. I am a loyal subscriber and have gone back and watched all of your videos. I have pcos so facial hair removal is an important subject for me.
Thank you for all the free information Dr. V! I’ve been binge watching many of your videos and I have learned so much about my own skin! Could you do a video on dermal pigmentation of the underarms? Such as products we could use to solve this issue? I’ve tried everything and nothing seems to work. Also, could you do a review on Aveeno products? Thank you so much for all you do! 💕💕💕
Dr V, I agree, threading on the upper lip hurts big time, but it is so worth it. I used to get my entire face threaded but with Covid the Treading places are closed. So, I have resorted to dermaplaning/shaving. Once life becomes normal (or has normal as post Covid will be), I will go back to threading.
Hey Dr.V thank you so much for this video, much appreciated 🙏🏼. I have two questions- 1.Do hair removal creams lead to blackened skin? 2. Do we need separate daytime/nightime moisturizers ( for the face and body)? Ingredients to look for/avoid in body moisturizers.
Hi Doctor V !! Can I just say I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Your channel!! ❤❤❤❤ Loveee your advice it's honestly helped have a better skincare regime ❤ Dr. V if you could please make another video on more good toners for skin of color . I loved your top 3 toners video . But a lot of them are not available for Overseas Shipping...so if you could recommend any good Indian Brands?? Absolutely love your Channel !! ❤❤❤
I am a person of color who burns first and get hyperpigmentation afterwards. But I follow your advise for people of color. I had threading of the upper lips done once and never did it again. I use a cream hair remover and make sure I don't go over the time suggested by the product maker. I also have waxing done on my upper lips. For my eyebrows I prefer threading.
I have been getting laser hair removal for about 7 months and I'm getting a lot of acne a lot of acne I never been the one to get acne but since I've been getting laser hair removal I get acne bad now THANK YOU DR RORPOPOR HERBAL ON RUclips FOR CURING ME WITH YOUR HERBAL MEDICATION TOTALLY
I am a waxer, not a dr, but generally two-three days is what I told clients, but if you have thin skin I would wait even up to a week, depending on the product you use. Edited to clarify: I am only talking about waxing, not laser.
@@sravsp7696 if you are talking about a treatment that is OTC, like that you buy without a prescription, alpha arbutin is probably safe for use after waxing, like even the next day or two if it doesn't have an acid in it. The main contraindications are treatments like retin-a, which I would say people should stop using at least a week in advance of a wax, and accutane (which... just don't get waxed while using it, you have to stop months before getting a wax). I use differin OTC so I am not waxing my face right now, even though I could probably get away with stopping treatment for a week and doing my lip. As far as I know alpha arbutin is not a skin thinning brightener so it shouldn't be a problem, but I would always defer to a dermatologist. If you have a concern, you can ask your doctor or your waxer/laser provider for help. Also I am not laser certified and I have never worked with it, so I cannot speak to laser; all I know is like a week of study from school 😂
What shaving oil can be used Dr V.. I've been shaving my upper lip and peach fuzz around the jawline, I noticed that my skin looks slight darker / different color. I haven't had any bas reaction though..what could be the reason for thsi
I’ve used an epilator since they first came out and it’s important to hold the skin taught and ice afterwards. Also you do get used to it but whenever starting in a new area you will have to get used to it in that area like you did with other areas. I just recently started doing my upper lip and it does hurt when I do that area.
Can you please make a video on skin care routine post laser hair removal??!! Steps to take care of immediately after session and in between sessions, as well as products to avoid and products you'd recommend!.
Hi Dr V! Thank you for this... again I’m at work and can not watch right now, but thank you for last week pre teen video... not sure if you’ve seen my comment already. My daughter loved it and realised that skincare is important and not just mum nagging. This is what she requested aswel as shes been asking me about removing upper lip hair as she is due to go to big school soon. Thank you x

Omg I have requested for this too. SOC deals with this all the time
@@divyadidwania586 - Right! It's so annoying and frustrating.
You tie one of your hair strand around it ( make sure it's really tight, get someone else to do it), and cut the leftover hair with scissors. Just leave it until it comes off. I removed a bunch of skintags I had doing this method.
Any tips for women of colour dealing with PCOS skin & hirsutism?
Yes!!! Omg I need this is my life it's such a downer day in day out!! 😭😭
I’ve done one round of laser hair removal and the difference is major! Already a lot of hair has fallen out and my skin is brighter. If your in the uk check out Therapie Clinic they have offers and have a machine that’s good for skin of colour

I second this! Twenty percent of indian women have pcos
Try low carb diet and cut out sugar it will help with pcos symptoms

Hey Dr. V. Please do a review on Purito especially on the sunscreens.
I'm waiting for this video as well. I want to start wearing suncreen and have been doin research on which one to get and I'm leaning towards the Purito one but I need to hear what Dr. V has to say about it before I buy it.
I tried purito deep sea pure water cream (blue) because Im looking for moisturizer for dry skin, love it, the cream turned to watery texture when applied :)
Threading burns and cuts my skin. Yes, I've had it professionally done several times. I've also tried doing it myself with disastrous results.
OMG I DO THE ICE PACK THING TOO! My waxing lady laughs too! Honestly knowing you do it makes me feel so good
As a holistic master esthetician of over thirty years and a dark skinned women I have seen people damage their skin by threading, waxing and plucking. The best way I have found to have my clients have flawless skin after removing hair with no bacterial or fungal or discoloration issues, is to simply shave. I do recommend shaving daily in areas of extra hair growth like you chin, lip and eye brows. This has shown to be a great way to remove hair , it is clean and healthy and I and my clients have no discoloration In Those areas or break outs🙌🏻
Just some extra skin Love 🍑Lisa Peaches Skin Care
What about depilatories? Like Nair for the face
Thank you sooo much...i had been contemplating on this for a while after getting hyperpigmentation from threading. I'm definately going to start shaving now.💙
yeah shaving works for me best, waxing gives me bumps :(

Hi Jemma,
I also would get terrible discoloration. Shaving has been amazing 🍑Lisa Peaches Skin Care
@peaches please suggest what to use for shaving? Thanks in advance
A video on hair lightening/bleaching please! Do we stay far away from these? As always thank you for sharing the knowledge!!
Dr. V PLEASE do video on bleaching facial hair??

I also used hair removal cream on my face and it became irritated, now I have hyperpigmentation around my upper lip on one side. I will probably look into the epilator. Great video Dr. V, thank you.
Are there any cosmetics ingredients that we should avoid because they encourage facial hair growth?
Avoid collagen supplements !!
I was a waxer pre-covid and not a dermatologist so keep that in mind, but generally hair/skin/nails biotin supplements are the main thing I can think of.
Please review "Skin Functional". It's considered a cheaper substitute skincare brand to The ordinary
Dr V! Is PRP (growth factors) good for our skin tone? When done with microneedling please? ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I am part of a hirsutism group. So many complain of overflow if facial hair upon laser in other areas than original target spot.
They say electrolysis worked well. Fewer people of color though in that group. But people of color complained of growth induced by laser

Glad it was helpful!
You're cute! Hit me up for a good time!
Have you ever considered numbing your upper lip and under eyebrow area before you thread? I hear it numbs the area enough that you don’t feel it
I love laser hair removal for my face! It does have a cooling system with it and it has removed my hair wonderfully! Good to know about the other removal methods for skin of color!
Omg, I had an epilator (good quality btw) and it was so painful and all these people were saying it hurts at first but then you get used to it and I was like "HOW??!" I never got used to it, stopped using it after trying for 4-5 months in vain
I feel you
I stopped after 2 times
Whoever discovered the epilator must not have any body hair !
Well I have spent the last 35 years dealing with facial hair removal been there and done it . After years of lasering the dark hair has now become blond and finer with a few thick grey hairs but.... with age I’m now bloody long sighted and can’t see the darn hairs and look like a fuzz ball out in natural light . Oh the joys of getting old 😖😩🙄
My face was burned by laser hair removal. I have permanent pigmentation from it. Its been 10 years and have done all sorts to reduce the pigmentation.
Can you pls also do a video on face bleaches like Jolen? Are these okay for our skin? I feel like every Asian lady uses these at some point in her life, but are they even right for our skin?! Thank you 🙌🏼❤️
Yes please
I've not even finished watching the video yet and have already formed an opinion that you're the best youtuber I've found yet! So real & full of information! And funny too LOL! Where were your resources when I was in high school and made all the mistakes due to societal pressures of being clear skinned and hair free? Oh well!
Following your skin care routine religiously, and am so happy with that. Bundle of thanks 💕🙏🙏
DR Vanita, you are wonderful 🌞 sharing your passion 🤗❣️👌
I’ve thread my face for the first time myself..then I’ve said to myself RUclips. So here you are 🤗 I should have listen before 🙈😂🤗 😘

@@vanitarattan Thankyou ❤️
@@vanitarattan was thinking of buying Beminimalist niacinamide serum but thought lets wait till dr.V reviews it and here saw your comment..happy..❤
@@snehas7641 me too😂
You are truly an amazing person
You are so kind to post all this information for free. A reliable trustworthy souce of much needed information
I wish your products were available in mainstream shops it would be my dream come true. Thank You
You are so welcome
Please make a video on the brand “be minimalist”
It is similar to the ordinary
Please
Love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hey.. I have also requested Dr v for the same.. this brand looks really promising
Yes ..
I also want to know abt this brand
Many Indian youtubers have exposed this brand as a rip off with low quality products. Their manufacturing is also shady.
@@samshM 🥺🥺🥺😔
@@samshM ... So, you think a brand with transparent ingredients list is of low quality ????
Dr V please review more Indian Brands like Earth Rythm, minimalist, or anything that's easily available here.
Yes please
Yes, Please review "Juicy Chemistry" and "Pure by Priyanka"
This was so helpful. I have learned the hard way about hair removal creams and tweezers. I've gotten better with the tweezers since I tend to get ingrown hairs, especially around my chin and jawline.
Because I experience hyperpigmentation when I nick my skin during tweezing, is there anything I should do to prep my skin when trying to remove ingrown hairs?
I thread and i cut myself sometimes...this had led to hyperpigmentation which had taken so long to fade and i'm still on the journey to clear skin. Then i started thinking what can i use as a barrier to protect my skin during threading and thought i would try vaseline which actually worksled amazingly. Also do hair removal straight after shower when your pores are open so hairs will be easier to be pulled out.
Shilpa91000 please try something other than petroleum as it is a waste product from the manufacturing of oil and gasoline. ( look it up) It contains way to many things that are not healthy. As the Dr. stated, use an oil on your face.
Your eyebrows are fab !!!!
Hello doctor, I have been following your advice on rosacea acne hyperpignmented skin, by using alpha abutin, vitamin c and nicenmide. When will the hyperpignmented scars start to fade? Thank you, love your videos, they help me so much xx
It can take a while, its not a fast process at all unfortunately
@@hithere8140 how long approx?
See what happens after 3 months. This will tell you is you need stronger actives.
@@vanitarattan I have been using for 4 months, not much is happening. My hyperpigmentation on both sides not reducing
Trust the process.. it takes up to 6 weeks to see results! X
Everytime I watch your videos I learn something that actually makes a difference.
Hey Dr. V
Thanks a ton for the good work you are doing in disseminating information on skincare for coloured skin. It's absolutely wonderful.
Could you suggest which laser hair reduction technology is best suited for women of colour?
I can't thank you enough.❤️ You are a life saver. I don't buy any skincare product without getting your approval. You earned the respect of community ❤️
Thanks so much Dr V! I’ve recommended you to my whole family! Can you do a video on benzoyl peroxide? Also, I’m interested whether you recommend hydrocolloid pads for acne?
Great suggestion!
I came here before doing anything. I am so happy to have found your channel
I'm so excited it's my first time in the comment section while your here.
Please could you do a video on how we should start with retinol percentages
Also why retinol and retinoid, what is the difference? How much is safe for indian tone please please please xxxzz
I don't have skin of colour, I am a caucasian, with very fair skin, blue eyes , black hair, but you have lots of great advice, delivered with humour
can you do a video about hyperpigmentation in the underarms and also what are your thoughts about sugaring/ sugar wax?
hey I heard that there’s a powder that helps with hyperpigmentation under the arms as well ass removing the hair @chandleralexiss on tik tok talks about how it helped her
@@chelabella5635 yes I had seen that video a few days ago but I was dubious after seeing it and if it actually helps. I feel like it might irritate my skin (and can also burn it if not carefully used) and just might make my hyperpigmentation worse. I've come to a point in life where I've accepted my hyperpigmentation and I'm just going to leave it alone lol :) thanks anyways though
@@sarae.3237 no problem and I’m sorry to hear that luv 🥺❤️
I missed you again. I am 50 years old and still have breakouts and I have sensitive skin. I also have hyperpigmentation. Can you do a video on how to treat all the above at the same time as I get confused in what I should be using.
OMG I was thinking about requesting you this topic and just after few minutes I saw the notification... Wow, thank you
I did some epilation on my chin hair this morning.. you have no idea I was like I hope this is Dr. V recommended method🙈. And here we are ❤️
Thank you so much dr V. I have asked for this video 3 weeks ago and it’s already here. 🤗
Hope you like it!
So happy to see her subscribers grow. Finally knowledge and research coming on top.
Thanks for all your help. I started with your plans 1 month ago and I am seeing amazing results. I wanted to ask, is there a full body lotion to treat hyperpigmentation?
Thanks! I just threaded my lip 😆 easier than I thought. I will still get my eyebrows professionally done. Great tips!
Hello doctor, thank you so much for the amazing info! Subbed :) You’re a life saver! Just a quick question, will there be any long term detrimental effects of waxing/threading/epilating the face/cheeks? Some people have been saying that your face will get damaged in the long run if you use those methods. Could you please shed light to this?
I did threading on myself for 4 years straight everyday and bec of that I got hypperpigmentation on my upper lips and chin it looked very bad so I stop doing threading completely, I used vitamin C to get rid of hyperpigmentation . Now my upper lips and chin looks fine . But i do have lots of hairs on chin and upper lips . Now I am trying laster hair removal at home . I also tried plucking but for me that takes for ever.
Hi Vanita! Could you advise what you can do to reduce facial hair due to pcos? Thank you so much
I am not a woman of color but have a bit of Nigerian DNA…. I have dark and thick hair despite a pink skin tone. Also, I get hyperpigmentation so easily! Here because after tweezing for years, I’m getting hyperpigmentation around my upper lip. Also have hair on my back and everywhere really…. Since small so not PCOS.
Hoping this is still applicable.
Hi, what’s the best way to dermaplane at home what would you recommend ?
Thank you so much for doing all of these videos. So many individuals on RUclips do and say things simply based on sponsorships and money. I am a loyal subscriber and have gone back and watched all of your videos. I have pcos so facial hair removal is an important subject for me.
Thank you for all the free information Dr. V! I’ve been binge watching many of your videos and I have learned so much about my own skin! Could you do a video on dermal pigmentation of the underarms? Such as products we could use to solve this issue? I’ve tried everything and nothing seems to work. Also, could you do a review on Aveeno products? Thank you so much for all you do! 💕💕💕
Dr V, I agree, threading on the upper lip hurts big time, but it is so worth it. I used to get my entire face threaded but with Covid the Treading places are closed. So, I have resorted to dermaplaning/shaving. Once life becomes normal (or has normal as post Covid will be), I will go back to threading.
Can you do a review on “indeed laboratories” skin care products please? Especially their vit C serum. Thanks!
Dr. V please do an after-removal care video, what to apply after hair removal on the face and what to avoid!
Hey Dr.V thank you so much for this video, much appreciated 🙏🏼.
I have two questions-
1.Do hair removal creams lead to blackened skin?
2. Do we need separate daytime/nightime moisturizers ( for the face and body)? Ingredients to look for/avoid in body moisturizers.
Finally got my centraben in the mail from the UK and it has been working wonders ! It has worked wonders on my chapped lips too
Can you do a video on hair removal on the body like arms and legs...? Please 🥺
Dr. V, very helpful video! Can you please do a video on safe ways to cover grey hair?
Hi Doctor V !!
Can I just say I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Your channel!! ❤❤❤❤
Loveee your advice it's honestly helped have a better skincare regime ❤
Dr. V if you could please make another video on more good toners for skin of color .
I loved your top 3 toners video . But a lot of them are not available for Overseas Shipping...so if you could recommend any good Indian Brands??
Absolutely love your Channel !! ❤❤❤
I'm so glad!
@@vanitarattan Dr, can you recommend some hair Removal creams
I am a person of color who burns first and get hyperpigmentation afterwards. But I follow your advise for people of color. I had threading of the upper lips done once and never did it again. I use a cream hair remover and make sure I don't go over the time suggested by the product maker. I also have waxing done on my upper lips. For my eyebrows I prefer threading.
Hi Dr V! Can you do a review of “Geek & Gorgeous” skincare brand?
Thank you
Sure thing!
Your skin is so clear and beautiful give me some tips plzzzz my skin is oily and I have open pores I want to get rid of it 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I have been getting laser hair removal for about 7 months and I'm getting a lot of acne a lot of acne I never been the one to get acne but since I've been getting laser hair removal I get acne bad now THANK YOU DR RORPOPOR HERBAL ON RUclips FOR CURING ME WITH YOUR HERBAL MEDICATION TOTALLY
Hey Dr.. Love your videos.. I'm suffering from PCOS... and my acne and pimples do not take a rest... Plz help on this... Love India❤🇮🇳
Hi Dr. V! Can you please do video on skincare routine for pregnant and breastfeeding mom with hyperpigmentation/melasma issues?
Is calamine a good sunblock Dr V? I've read that it's a pink coloured zinc oxide.
no x
Hi Dr.V I am obsessed with your channel. Could you make a video on ingredients and products that help fade away scars from the body.
Hello Dr V, after waxing or laser treatment, how long should I wait before I can start using my chemical exfoliants?
Pls provide a reply
I am a waxer, not a dr, but generally two-three days is what I told clients, but if you have thin skin I would wait even up to a week, depending on the product you use.
Edited to clarify: I am only talking about waxing, not laser.
Caitie Regan u mean u can use Alpha Arbutin kinda stuff too between the treatment sittings ?
@@sravsp7696 if you are talking about a treatment that is OTC, like that you buy without a prescription, alpha arbutin is probably safe for use after waxing, like even the next day or two if it doesn't have an acid in it. The main contraindications are treatments like retin-a, which I would say people should stop using at least a week in advance of a wax, and accutane (which... just don't get waxed while using it, you have to stop months before getting a wax). I use differin OTC so I am not waxing my face right now, even though I could probably get away with stopping treatment for a week and doing my lip.
As far as I know alpha arbutin is not a skin thinning brightener so it shouldn't be a problem, but I would always defer to a dermatologist. If you have a concern, you can ask your doctor or your waxer/laser provider for help. Also I am not laser certified and I have never worked with it, so I cannot speak to laser; all I know is like a week of study from school 😂
Caitie Regan Thankyou.. I’m undergoing the laser treatment..
you look especially good in this video! i don’t know if you’ve done something different with your skin but it’s nice
What shaving oil can be used Dr V..
I've been shaving my upper lip and peach fuzz around the jawline, I noticed that my skin looks slight darker / different color.
I haven't had any bas reaction though..what could be the reason for thsi
I use tea tree oil. Haven't noticed any darker spots.
Tea tree oil shouldn’t be used on skin
I use Tea Tree oil as well but, i have mixture of Jojoba oil added in with it.
Omg this is a much wanted a video...the hyperpigmentation which i have right now and I've been struggling to get rid of is from hair removal!!
I’ve used an epilator since they first came out and it’s important to hold the skin taught and ice afterwards. Also you do get used to it but whenever starting in a new area you will have to get used to it in that area like you did with other areas. I just recently started doing my upper lip and it does hurt when I do that area.
Can you please make a video on skin care routine post laser hair removal??!!
Steps to take care of immediately after session and in between sessions, as well as products to avoid and products you'd recommend!.
I religious use the RITUAL brand sunblock SPF 50 UVA for face and body too. Is this safe.
Please could you compare Ritual sunblock with Tropic.
Thanks for showing us how to thread at home 👍🏽👏🏾... another great video Dr V x
You are so welcome
Never been this early! Also can you please review Korean brand Purito. Specially their centella range and toners.
absolutely x
they have lavendar oil in them.. pls go through the ingredient list
I think I watched a video where it said Purito also produce the non fragrance variants?
They have witch hazel extract in the centella unscented toner ... So, big no no acc to Dr V 😊
Yes but they also have come up with an unscented range and their sunscreen is a hit everywhere.
Hi Dr V!
Thank you for this... again I’m at work and can not watch right now, but thank you for last week pre teen video... not sure if you’ve seen my comment already. My daughter loved it and realised that skincare is important and not just mum nagging. This is what she requested aswel as shes been asking me about removing upper lip hair as she is due to go to big school soon.
Thank you x
"if that sounds good to you, please give me a thumbs up"
me: right at the moment, thumbs up
Dr Vanita, you should not have to justify who you are, as your amazing & your advice for skin of colour is invaluable! Thankyou & keep going! ❤️🙏
I'm ordering a piece of thread to the nearest amazon locker and going to thread my own face from now on! Indians are the smartest!
