I use washcloths (Target- white, not expensive, comes in packs) and after use, I wring out the cloth and leave it over the shower door to dry out. When the cloth dries, (usually when in an hour) I add it to my clothes hamper for washing. I never use a washcloth more than once and I never let it sit in a ball to use again.
I get the target room essentials washcloths also. I have about 7 packages of them. Hahahaha. I do the exact same one use and hang dry routine. You can even get two packs of six washcloths for 3 dollars sometimes. They are great.
Totally agree that I was skeptical about the Laneige hydrating mist and it has been so beneficial to me. (Also so much more efficient and less messy to deliver wlty mist vs applying the liquid by hand) ... I have very dry skin
Regarding your comments about the wash cloths gathering bacteria: I had the same concerns! I do not want to use a washcloth twice in the bath/shower. So I went to Walmart and bought giant packs of white wash cloths. And this probably sounds a little OCD but I will use one washcloth for my face, put it aside, use another washcloth for the other parts of my body put it aside, use another washcloth for my girly parts, and then use the last wash cloth for my feet. I drape them to hang out on the edge of the tub overnight and when they are dry I put them into the laundry basket to be washed. I have like I don’t know a basket of 60 little inexpensive wash cloths that I can’t possibly use up between laundry days.
love this video, definitely want to see more and your favourites!! it’s nice being able to see products that dermatologist and esthetician’s use/recommend
Hi Dr Sam for many years I used ultrasun spf50+ on my face and body without any issues. Unfortunately when I developed rosacea I really couldn't use it hardly at all on the face anymore, so I switched to mineral spf's at that time. I have had a bit of a journey with those (a story for another time), but we had a heatwave this year in the UK (I live in Scotland) and the mineral spf's were melting off, so couldn't be giving me that much protection. In desperation I tried the ultrasun again (as I was still using it on my body anyway) and am so pleased i've been able to use it daily again on my face. Now in fairness my rosacea is fairly calm at the moment (which may be why I can), but i've always trusted the protection this brand offers - like Evy they only make spf's and don't have an spf as an add on to their line. It's also a long wear formulation, but it's a hybrid and my skin tolerates that better than a fully chemical spf tbh. I really feel it offers more consistant protection than the mineral spf's I was using and my freckles are the same shade in September, as they were at the beginning of the Summer (that's how I gauge my spf's performance on my own face). i'm a fitzpatrick one and practice a lot of sun safe behaviour, but I have a life and on occasion catch a little more sun than I would prefer to do. As we know UV can really worsen rosacea, so extra protection is a good thing. Being able to use something I trust works is something I thought I had lost for my face and I'm glad to have it back. I like a tinted mineral spf on top in the Summer (as almost a tinted moisturiser in place of foundation etc), but it's a light layer and more of a cosmetic for me now as I'm getting my protection (including really good UVA) from the ultrasun. Best wishes.
I love using the Laneige mist after I have cleansed my face in the shower, before I do the rest of my routine. It prevents my skin feeling dry before I am out of the shower, dry and ready to start my routine.
I could probably make my own RUclips video titled "Things Dr Sam Ellis made me buy". I love everything you recommend! I think because you don't let the price point confine your recommendations.
@Victoria my favorite is the Aquis hair turban. It has been so helpful for my thin hair. I also had never heard of Olaplex or hair oils so I bought Olaplex 3 for weekly masks and the Virtue density booster for daily use. My hair has transformed within a month. I only need to wash it 2x a week now since it isn’t getting greasy the day after I shower. My split ends are gone, too, and my hair is just fluffy now which never happens for my fine hair. I learned all of this in one of her hair loss videos and just ordered everything from Sephora that day!
@@Joannabanana1989 ooh good tips! She got me to buy the Ilia skin tint and the City Beauty lip plumping gloss in clear which I actually get compliments on when I wear it. I think those are my favorite of her recommendations.
Looooove that mist idea! I’m constantly trying different things before working & before Retin A, both of which I do all the time. Thank you, I’m definitely going to try this one 💕🍁🌤!!!
Thank you for this video! Similar to you, I fell in love with Bioderma's oil-cleansing body wash! And I love (not a cosmetic) The Natural Dentist mouthwash and toothpaste! I have super sensitive teeth from botched dentistry and pregnancy. This has helped me get rid of the prescription fluoride toothpaste I lived on!!
I have used the Glytone cleansing powder also, and I also have a rosacea. I didn’t find that it irritated my skin at all. It surprised me how something that has physical and chemical exfoliants seems like it was gentle on my skin as well. I also use the Glytone Age Defense mineral sunscreen and really like it.
An outstanding, and also surprising, winner for me (I have rosacea) was Glossier's Super Pure serum. I go to that even before my rosacea meds when I feel sensitive, and my face just drinks it right up
I started using the Laniege mist a few months ago…I enjoy it very much, and am glad to hear you are a fan as well! (Also, I have a silly question…does that shower oil cleanser leave a slippery residue in the shower?) 😊😁😊
Wouldn’t the first product you mentioned, Naturiums oil body wash work well to remove sunscreen? Kinda of like using an oil cleanser as part of a double cleanse?
I have super sensitive skin and rosacea and Evy absolutely _rocks_, zero irritation, it's a holy grail product. Plus, for those with sensitive eyes, it will never run into your eyes after sweating/swimming. It's just all around amazing.
I've been using the Naturium glow getter body wash since it launched. Just opened my second bottle and have a third as a backup. I love it! You feel clean and nourished no matter how much sunscreen is on. My skin can be sensitive, no issues with it. I've never used anything like it. I personally don't really notice a fragrance. Absolutely worth a try! I wasn't that impressed with the salicylic acid one, but I have dry skin with no body acne so it wasn't made for me. Haven't tried the others yet.
Not that I’ve tried the mist but I really like the Laneige essence. It feels so silky smooth and I didn’t think I’d like it at all as I’ve always used watery ones and thought it was going to be the same. I was pleasantly wrong!
Hi Dr. Ellis! Could you please do a video on facial KP/keratosis pilaris rubra faciei? There isn’t much information out there about this and it would be super helpful! I thought I had rosacea but my derm thinks it is KP, yet doesn’t have any suggestions for me besides laser for the redness. 😢very discouraging.
I nabbed some of both on a trip and have opinions about what's worth a splurge. UltraViolette's Supreme Screen is gentle on my rosacea, but stings my eyes. But the deal-breaker for me with UltraViolette is, if you reapply the recommended amount every two hours, one tube only lasts less than ten days! However, Evy is worth every penny, it's a holy grail product. I swear it seems to make my skin less reactive to stressors, I do not know how that's even possible, but I experience zero eye stinging, and no issues with my rosacea. If you just use it on your face (use lotion everywhere else), one container should last you a very long time.
The retinal is totally overprized and out of budget for most people. If i convert it to nz dollars it is almost 3 days wages! This is not like you describe it *a bit more expensive*.
I’ve used this body wash twice about four weeks apart. Both times the next day I had a hard red bump under my under arms. It hurt like crazy and was red, but went away in about a week or so. I wasn’t sure if it was my deodorant or the wash but I see now that it was the wash. Is there anyone else who has had this or does it make sense that the wash would do that to my under arms?
Everyone’s regimen can be different based on what their skin can tolerate. Some people need a day or more off in between their tretinoin applications to recover while others can just use a less potent retinoid.
How is Evy Technology treating eyes? I have terribly sensitive eyes + oily forehead = tears by the end of the day... it is so hard to find proper sunscreen! :(
Medium. Super sensitive eyes. I've had much worse even with sunscreens made for sensitive skin. I have to put eye makeup to prevent any sunscreen from getting into my eyes. Haven't tried Evy w/o makeup.
@@alma_42 I'm sorry to hear that. You might be sensitive to the makeup as well. I use tarte timeless smoothing primer (meant for the face but i like it on the lids) and bare minerals loose eyeshadow with Bobbi brown cream sticks. I'm slightly sensitive to the eyeliner, gergio armani pencil, but much less than pencils I've tried. I like bobbi brown gel eyeliner more, but it dries too fast requiring freq repurchase. I tried a bunch of mascaras, but the one that my eyes tolerate is lancome. Hope this helps
@@alma_42 i tried the one for the face (brown bottle) and the blue bottle. The brown bottle makes my skin much more oily requiring powder on top. The blue much less so. The brown did get to start to get into my eyes after an hr. The blue also got into my eyes after a while but much less so. (Edit - referring to trying both without eye makeup. )
I feel for you -- my eyes are super sensitive too, it's a real struggle. I've been having very good luck with Evy, although YMMV obviously. Make sure to start with a pristinely clean face. The technology forms an almost GoreTex-like invisible film on the skin that (for me) stays totally put. I have not brought the product right down to my lash line, instead I cautiously tap the liquified foam very close to, but not touching, the waterline. You need to let the product set up properly in order for the layer to form -- give it a good 10-15 minutes just to be safe. Maybe be extra careful and don't put it anywhere near the eye area the first few times you wear it, to check that the layering phenomenon happens properly on your skin?
The RIGHT thing to do as a “brand advisor” to Naturium is never to review Naturium products at all. It’s a shame you’ve diminished your credibility by promoting Naturium without full disclosure (recent video you did with Susan)
You can use a fresh washcloth with each and every shower--it's great! No ick factor!
I use washcloths (Target- white, not expensive, comes in packs) and after use, I wring out the cloth and leave it over the shower door to dry out. When the cloth dries, (usually when in an hour) I add it to my clothes hamper for washing. I never use a washcloth more than once and I never let it sit in a ball to use again.
Dido that.
Yesss, so we seem high maintenance, not even the case, it’s full of bacteria, new washcloth, hand towel everyday🥰👍
I get the target room essentials washcloths also. I have about 7 packages of them. Hahahaha. I do the exact same one use and hang dry routine. You can even get two packs of six washcloths for 3 dollars sometimes. They are great.
Me too
Same but I use flannel because wash cloths are too rough for me

I love the COSRX advanced Snail 92 all in one cream. I wasn’t expecting to love it but it has become one of my favorite moisturizers.

I love Naturium’s body care… I’m waiting for more moisturizing options like a dry oil or targeting concern cream.
An outstanding, and also surprising, winner for me (I have rosacea) was Glossier's Super Pure serum. I go to that even before my rosacea meds when I feel sensitive, and my face just drinks it right up
No thanks on Naturium. Their shady start doesn't just disappear... thanks for your content!
I still gotta admit Naturium does come up with good products. I respect that.
36 yr M from The Bronx taking 📝 I appreciate you

When I have body sunscreen 🧴 on, I use neutrogena body oil before getting into the shower to remove it. Works amazing!
Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen. Initially, I found the texture VERY weird. But now I love it!

I use a clean washcloth each day when I shower. Do people really reuse washcloths without washing them?
Great video! Sometimes skincare products can pleasantly surprise you 😉
The two sunscreen lines I want to try is EVY and Ultra Violette. Both are hard/expensive to get here.
Ugh they are! Definitely not ideal.
I nabbed some of both on a trip and have opinions about what's worth a splurge. UltraViolette's Supreme Screen is gentle on my rosacea, but stings my eyes. But the deal-breaker for me with UltraViolette is, if you reapply the recommended amount every two hours, one tube only lasts less than ten days!

I have the glow getter but I am curious if it's actually cleansing the skin or just moisturizing it?
Washcloths are dirt cheap. Buy enough to use a new one everyday. Wash all used ones at the end of the week. Problem solved.
Would love to see more.
Face Halo has a body version of those makeup remover pads.. i love the face halo ones for the face i use one a day and then toss them in the laundry
The retinal is totally overprized and out of budget for most people. If i convert it to nz dollars it is almost 3 days wages! This is not like you describe it *a bit more expensive*.
Thankyou 😊
Loved this video, but not as much as I love your Hair Colours, amazing....

Will Evy sunscreen leave cast on dark skin?
None :)

Free products sent for use in hopes the company procures a (free) positive review or are affiliated with the brand.
Wouldn't recommend retinal for sunny countries
