As someone who is wheelchair bound keeping the skin moisturized (especially our bottoms and our feet) is VERY IMPORTANT!! I started using Vanicream after watching one of your awhile ago and it has made such a huge difference in my life!!! I have been suggesting it to all my friends who are also in wheelchairs. I really appreciate all you suggestions💜
You should do a video about how you got started in dermatology and how you got to where your at today. Talking about what inspired you to pursue dermatology and what you had to go though. I believe it will be a pretty interesting video and it will inspire those how are interested in pursuing the career. I also watch you videos, sometimes even binge watch on the daily. I have learned so much about the skin ever since I started watching you, it's almost as if I have a personal dermatologist. Thank you for your wisdom and knowledge, I have actually noticed a difference in my skin just by listing to your videos and taking action.
@@durianninja2464 If I'm not going to dry off after a shower I will Jergens natural glow fair to medium. Now I know why my skin was softer when I use that :)
I went to see my 10 yr old grandson in Boston. I noticed his bottom lip looked dry/cracked (dry heat) and could tell he had been licking it. Luckily I had a small tube of CeraVe Healing Ointment (thanks to you). I explained to him what was going on and to try the ointment. He did and overnight he saw how much it helped. I left the tube with him, next to his toothbrush so he would be reminded to use it twice a day. Thanks Andrea!
I Just want to say THANK YOU!!! I had itchy skin on my whole body after showering for as long as i can think of....nothing helped and it was driving me crazy everytime i took a shower, and i was anxious to even Take one...i started lathering my moisturizer in wet skin as soon as i turned the water out and just let my skin air dry. No towels and all that drying crap. Tshirt on my head/Hair :) perfect No more itchy skin at all! Really, THANK YOU. It means a lot XX
Dr dray, I submitted a translation for your sunscreen q&a video but it needs your approval to be published. I'm watching you from Egypt! if you've noticed there's traffic coming from Egypt, that's probably me 😂 Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us! I intend to translate many of your videos if you'd like, so more people can learn this information.
I have recently started using Aveeno moisturizing body wash. It has made a significant improvement with my dry skin and eczema. My second favorite body skin care product for winter is Replenix smoothing body lotion.
My children & I have been to some of the best dermatologists in our country. These doctors have been amazing to work with. Both girls were in the clinical trials for tacrolimus after being diagnosed as two of the most severe cases of eczema documented. Resistant to treatment and complicated by open wounds leading to infection and hospitalization. Despite these events, I've learned more from your channel and now have an explanation about what is happening to the dermis and epidermis as well as understanding the job of the stratum corneum and how it can be comprised. I never heard of the term transepidermal water loss until your channel. You sharing your expertise in the field really makes a difference. I'm sure there are many people like myself who have experienced a lack of attention our skin conditions receieve from our primary doctors. I am amazed that our skin does not receive the attention and respect I believe it deserves. After all it is our largest organ. I hope your channel will start to change how we look at our skin. Please keep sharing this information. It truly is invaluable. Thank you Dr. Dray
Hands up, thumbs up for those like me whose dry skin is no longer an issue since you are been watching The Amazing Dr.Dray!!!!! Thanks so much for sharing your work, knowledge, honesty straight forward content and your passion for helping because you deserve an award from RUclips or the Dermatologist academy seriously you are a big blessings....
When the weather gets cold, I ALWAYS crank up the heat to max in my car. Never even thought that this was contributing to my dry winter skin! Thank you!!
I've been taking accutane for over a year and prior to it, my skin was extremely oily, as if i dipped my skin into a pot of oil, now my skin is normal to dry, must mostly normal, and it's great, much easier to deal with. Thank you for the wonderful tips as always.
Dr Dray, I just want to thank you again. I ordered the masks you linked, and last night I slathered my damp face with some hyalaronic acid, Cerave PM, and Vanicream from the tub before putting on the double masks. It was late, so I only wore this about 2 hours. This morning my face is plumped up, the tender red skin by my nose is no longer red or sore, and the evil zit that plagued my chin has gone away!!! A miracle. 🙏🙏😘😘
So I tried putting on vanicream fresh out of the shower without towel drying for the first time... I was surprised by how the lotion wouldn’t rub in and how I felt like I was coated oil. It did eventually dry/soak in but man... You don’t need nearly as much lotion on wet skin as you do dry skin 😅
Good stuff Dr Dray. I have to keep reminding myself these tips and knowledge. I took a really hot long shower the other night and didn’t apply moisturizer and I felt the effects almost immediately, the slight itch was my first indication. I know better than that, but I gave in to the sirens call of the pleasures of that shower, and laziness did me in in not applying moisturizer. However, I am getting better and more aware of my actions.
W/ regard to humidity, living in Houston is a huge advantage for your skin. I realized that as soon as I moved to the Ft. Worth area and looked like I'd aged 10 years in one month! Hey! There's another reason to move back home! Lots of great advice here! Thanks as always!
Definitely. I was always a minimalist at heart, but I have incorporated a hyaluronic acid into my skin care and it is awesome for dry skin. I have extremely dry facial skin and I can use all the help I can get. :D

My husband gets very red, rough dry hands in the winter. He used a cream on his hands only when going to bed. I've told him he needs to be using a moisturizer every time he washes his hands while they are still damp. I seriously think all he hears me saying is bla bla bla bla. Men!
I got my husband to use moisturizer on his face after I applied benzoil peroxide and moisturizer myself on different areas of his face and it helped with acne on some places and dryness on others. Now I laugh inside when I see him apply his moisturized because he is so rough with his face that it seems it owns him money.
I hot vani cream because of a former vid you posted and let me tell ya!!!! My husband wont use anything els for his dry skin!!!! I try to buy cheeper stuff and he is a vani cream snob now! Lol thanks!
I started watching you a couple months and my skin is so much better. I pretty much just use 2 products (cetaphil and sunscreen). Applying cream wet has changed my skin!
Thanks for the suggestion of applying an ointment to areas of exposure during winter. We've been having an arctic blast this week, temps outside are -50 with high winds. I've been using the CeraVe healing ointment all around my eyes when I go out and it has probably helped to prevent frostbite when my eyes are tearing from the wind. A side note, I've been using the healing ointment on our dog who gets severe chapped skin on her abdomen and inner thighs when it's this cold (she's short haired and pretty much nude on her underside). It's helping to heal her chapped skin as well.
I have been using the original Neutrogena cream now for about 4 months and it's worth Marvel's for my face and neck and shoulders I make sure that I'm nice and damp and freshly cleaned and I plow that stuff on once a day I have limited breakouts from it very limited Maybe one to every other week no big deal clears up in like a day would you consider doing a Neutrogena skin care tutorial
Wonderful tips. I am also a firm believer in soft water units for the house. The only time I didn't have one was when I was in college in my apartment. My hands would crack and bleed not to mention my body would itch even though I was diligent about moisturizing. I don't have any skin issues when I am able to wash with soft water. Not to mention it is better for your plumbing and appliances. Enjoy the weekend.
This is my biggest issue right now! I live an apartment that doesn’t use water softeners! It’s horrible! I’ve tried using a soft water shower head but it doesn’t really help the same as treating the water. It’s so painful and I have severe eczema too! I dread taking a shower but I have to every day because I can’t wash my face in the basin because it’s the hard water. I cannot wait to move
I am glad you mentioned something about the shower head. My son is moving to his college condo this next summer and he has sensitive skin. He was thinking about getting one of those shower heads. He is living at home his first year and has already said how he is going to miss the soft water. When we have traveled to other places we all say how we can't wait to get back home to our soft water. We might try to see about having a unit installed in the condo for him.
@@leslieprebyl6238 I'm the other way, I cannot wait to travel because I know it will be a temporary relief for my skin. Please reply if/when you install a unit. I have been wanting to know the possibilities to do so within my own apartment. Do you live in America?
Yes, we live in the states. The difference is that we actually bought a condo for my son, so we own the place. Therefore, we can make any modifications we need to. Living in an apartment where you rent, I don't think you can do that as easily. If you have your own water tank in your apartment and it isn't one for the whole building, here in the states we have companies you can rent a softer from and they will service it also as needed. You might check into that and see if that is a possibility. I am so sorry you have to deal with skin issues. Maybe some of Dr. Dray's tips will help. Take care.
Aveeno is a soap free body wash. I've used Aveeno fragrance from body wash for years and it is works great for my dry sensitive skin. I use Cerave body cream for moisturizer. Tfs!
I’m one of those that just want to “cook in the shower” during my central NY winters!!! 🙊😂🤣 That being said, on your recommendations quite awhile ago, I now apply Cerave cream on my wet skin...game changer!! Maybe others have given that advice, but I had never heard it before watching you and it’s been the most helpful thing I’ve ever added to my showering routine. 💗💖💕💗💖💕💗💖 Thank you for ALL this fabulous advice! It’s totally applicable to me and my skin at this moment and much needed!
Kristyn McKenna awesome thanks! I didn’t know cetaphil made a tinted one. I love the videos where she analyzes the ingredients of a bunch of products at once and gives pros and cons of them all 🤗 so I’d love to see one of those about tinted products
This video came at a perfect time for me. I’m on accutane and dealing with sudden winter weather where I am! Thank you again for all the information you share 🙂. Skin has such a huge effect on people’s quality of life, so it’s a wonderful thing you’re doing!
Thanks for all the great information. Especially about how important it is to stop the itch cycle. That explains why I will have an itchy spot for no apparent reason other than dry skin.
Happy Friday Dr Dray!💜🦄☮️💟 I really needed and loved this video! My body skin has gone haywire since I moved to FL permanently.😬 Im going to start using my tub of Vanicream head to toe after my showers! Thank you so much.💙🙏🏻
Hi Gina!!! My family and I spent thanksgiving in FL and I was thinking of you the whole time. Hope you’re doing well.I too need to start using Vani in the tub...🌷🌸🌹🌸🌷😘
You look so pretty! Im currently learning so much for your videos and trying to educate my almost 50 yr old mom through the info you give us here on RUclips as well! Thank You for all you do for us here Dr! 😌 Happy Holidays!
Thank you SO much for recommending the Cerave Itch Relief and I had no idea taking antihistamines could potentially make the skin dry. My whole body is now comfortable and properly moisturized. It was worth the money!
Your skin is so pretty Dr. Dray 😍 My skin gets so dry when I swim and sit in the sauna at my local fitness center !!!! I put Vanicream on after I shower. It helps a bit!
Very helpful, thank you! I wish someone would invent a long reaching tool to put moisturizer on the triangle between shoulder blades and going down the back. In the winter here in DC, that section of my back gets itchy small red bumps here where I obviously can't reach myself with moisturizer. (This then turns into post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation) Water becomes my enemy as it gets drier and drier and I actually loathe the shower at this time, so I'm totally on board with short, tepid showers! This also happens in the summer in dry climates as well, such as Montana. I also get the little red bumps on my chest and thighs. I've never been diagnosed with eczema, but I treat it as if I do with the Cerave Anti-Itch Cream you mention, the ointments, and in the past, I've been prescribed the same medication often used for poison ivy (cannot recall the name). Literally several doctors consider me a mystery!
I found the vanicream cream moisturizer is too thick for my skin. It gets so easily congested and will feel rather dry even after applying. But.. I have repurposed the cream to use as a precleanser. If you damp your hands after applying a little moisturizer, it has slip to it and removes makeup decently. It works for me haha. Loved this video though, and I love vanicream
The cotton sheet masks are likely loaded with Round-up pesticide which is really hard for the body to detox, it has a slow breakdown rate for sure. Cotton is almost always grown with it.
Since removing all products with fragrance from my skincare and applying face/body moisturizers to wet skin, my skin has shown so much improvement and so much less sensitivity! Love all the videos and advice ❤️❤️
Free and clear and Vanicream products are fantastic. it is sold at walmart, target CVC and walgreens. Also, the company has vanicream for dry skin and other vanicream products like lip baum, soap and lite vanicream which is a lotion that is lighter than vanicream. Vanicream really absorbs qreat into the skin. Please check these products out. Look up the company or simple vanicream products established in Rochester, MN
Thank you, Dr. Dray! I have purchased CeraVe moisturizing cream, Vanicream moisturizer, and Vanicream lip protectant on your recommendation, and love them all. I had that dry shins problem you talked about!!! Until I started using the CeraVe right out of the shower. Hallelujah! :) I really like the Vanicream lip protectant, it is a little casty but I don't care. I did try putting a swipe of lip color over it though, and that works like a charm for anyone who does care.
Perfect timing on his video- went skiing today and my skin and eyes are now soooo dry! Will try the tips here next time for sure! Thanks and have a great 👍 weekend!
The loofah is now in the trash! YIKES! I will say that while I was healing I put nothing on my face. No make up, no masks, no scrubs, no cleansers. I used a damp cloth and then my moisturizer and my skin looked amazing. My nose not so much, but my skin was actually glowing. But, I do have a humidifier in my bedroom as well. Great information as usual! Thank you!
Meme Rod Yes, very much. The older I get the dryer I get so adding this about 5 weeks ago has helped. I did it specifically thinking it would help my mouth breathing and dryness after having septoplasty. Admitadely, there are some variables, but I do feel like it's helping.
Great tips as always. It really was a fantastic trip exploring Jordan, Jerash, Petra, Wadi Rum Desert, Dead Sea, Amman and then onto Egypt to Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Able Sible.... The ruins and trip were incredible and would definitely recommend and I wore sunscreen everyday, a hat, sunglasses and wore long shorts and trousers to cover up... You were with me in skin care thank you 🙏😇🌍🐶
Thanks for another extremely informative video. I recently bought Aveeno skin relief body wash and daily moisturizing lotion in Costco. Both are fragrance free and make my skin feel soft. Have a great weekend!
She said in a comment above she doesn't recommend anything. For what I've experienced it depends on what your body can tolerate. You don't need anything to clean because vaginas are self cleaning but if you want to clean the outside you can wait until the end when the water has softened everything and just clean with the tip of your fingers and water. If you want to use some kind of a soap and your body can tolerate it, make sure it's fragrance free, essential oil free and doesn't have sodium lauryl sulfate. I actually use the same soap I use on my face for my lady parts because it's that gentle. I buy the 16 oz bottle of cleanser from acne.org.
I just bought the plain sheet masks & silicone mask through your links. Hopefully you get some sort of credit for it. My face is so bad with eczema right now it bleeds. I will begin your instructions next week once I receive the masks. Thank you again!
Great information, so helpful, thank you! I have learned so much from your channel, I have stopped spraying rose water (aka perfume) on my face for one!
Thank you SO MUCH for all of this info. I have 2 spots on my back that drive me crazy with itch... to the point that if I could, I would consider cutting them out. I will immediately start using cold ointment...
Greetings from India, Dr. Dray!!! Just wanted to thank you for saving me soooooo much money on cosmetics! I am a BIG fan of your channel. Lots of love and best wishes!
That’s so neat you mentioned that about the fabric barrier. A few times in my life I over did it and chemically burnt my face with acne fighting products. To heal the abused skin I found little dehydrated cloth masks at TJ Maxx. They came in little containers and once rehydrated with water they came to full face size. I would then apply layers of raw aloe pulp to my face and then seal it with the cloth. From time to time reapplying alow to the outside of the cloth and it in fact healed my skin in record time.
Help! My skin has improved since I started applying moisturizer to wet skin but it takes my skin forever to air dry! I freeze to death. Why does it take so long?? Can I at least blot with a towel after the moisturizer? Lol. I am desperate here. Your videos just get better and better.
Loved the video!! Love the Fridays Q&A!! I appreciate the information so much!! Thank you for an amazing video as always!! Please enjoy the rest of your Day!!
wish you would have showed us the masks! As someone from the north, I will say the best way to put lotion is in the shower. The Jergens in shower lotion is amazing. That lotion is meant to be used in the shower to capture the water so you never wipe the water off. Very silky.
Good heavens, what a wonderfully explained and helpful video! I didn’t know about the do it yourself masks before. I’ve shied away from masks because Of sensitivities, but now that I know about using my own stuff, I’m in it! Just ordered the masks, and I’m planning many luxurious moments ahead with my cerave! 🙏🙏😘😘
Vanicream products have an antiperspirant, and sunscreen line as well as all the other fragrance free parabin free lanolin free products offered that are wonderful for the skin and don't have all the negative ingredients that eventually take away positive elements in the skin that most commercial products do.
Thank you for rescuing so many of us from a miserable itching skin condition , your contribution on RUclips is so valuable! 😘 The wet skin followed by a moisturizer was such a simple tip, but I see from other comments, that many were unaware of it and we are not youngsters :) On another note, do you have any suggestion for post (very post..like 9 months) shingles treatment? My elder father was not treated correctly and promptly at the beginning and he is now suffering from the nerve damage left behind by the shingles. Hopefully my parents will come and visit me next week from Italy (I said hopefully, because I had to cancel the trips three times in the course of 4 years) and I was reading about acupuncture and particular foods good for it. What’s your suggestion? Thank you 🙏
walmart's equate brand now has a dupe for the cerave pm for a fraction of the cost. same pump container. feels slightly thicker, like cerave's older formulation.
As someone who is wheelchair bound keeping the skin moisturized (especially our bottoms and our feet) is VERY IMPORTANT!! I started using Vanicream after watching one of your awhile ago and it has made such a huge difference in my life!!! I have been suggesting it to all my friends who are also in wheelchairs.

Did it take a year for dermatitis to go away?...did you just use vanicream?
Did you apply it to your face? Positive affects?
Yes, I apply on the face. I think for me the fact that does not contain fragrance was an important factor.
It’s summer in Australia. But it ain’t going to stop me from watching this video.

A side note, I've been using the healing ointment on our dog who gets severe chapped skin on her abdomen and inner thighs when it's this cold (she's short haired and pretty much nude on her underside). It's helping to heal her chapped skin as well.
stay warm!
Poor pup! Maybe get them a sweater lol..
I have been using the original Neutrogena cream now for about 4 months and it's worth Marvel's for my face and neck and shoulders I make sure that I'm nice and damp and freshly cleaned and I plow that stuff on once a day I have limited breakouts from it very limited Maybe one to every other week no big deal clears up in like a day would you consider doing a Neutrogena skin care tutorial
How does the original neutrogena cream look? Can you put a link from amazon so we can see the packaging?
Wonderful tips. I am also a firm believer in soft water units for the house. The only time I didn't have one was when I was in college in my apartment. My hands would crack and bleed not to mention my body would itch even though I was diligent about moisturizing. I don't have any skin issues when I am able to wash with soft water. Not to mention it is better for your plumbing and appliances. Enjoy the weekend.
Happy Friday 💜💜💜
This is my biggest issue right now! I live an apartment that doesn’t use water softeners! It’s horrible! I’ve tried using a soft water shower head but it doesn’t really help the same as treating the water. It’s so painful and I have severe eczema too! I dread taking a shower but I have to every day because I can’t wash my face in the basin because it’s the hard water. I cannot wait to move
I am glad you mentioned something about the shower head. My son is moving to his college condo this next summer and he has sensitive skin. He was thinking about getting one of those shower heads. He is living at home his first year and has already said how he is going to miss the soft water. When we have traveled to other places we all say how we can't wait to get back home to our soft water. We might try to see about having a unit installed in the condo for him.
@@leslieprebyl6238 I'm the other way, I cannot wait to travel because I know it will be a temporary relief for my skin. Please reply if/when you install a unit. I have been wanting to know the possibilities to do so within my own apartment. Do you live in America?
Yes, we live in the states. The difference is that we actually bought a condo for my son, so we own the place. Therefore, we can make any modifications we need to. Living in an apartment where you rent, I don't think you can do that as easily. If you have your own water tank in your apartment and it isn't one for the whole building, here in the states we have companies you can rent a softer from and they will service it also as needed. You might check into that and see if that is a possibility. I am so sorry you have to deal with skin issues. Maybe some of Dr. Dray's tips will help. Take care.
You’ve given many KEY tips here, this is eye opening!! Thank you so much your channel, it is skin changing and thus -life changing! Thank you!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
This is one of the best videos you have made ! Thank you on behalf of all of us who appreciate you.
thanks!
Aveeno is a soap free body wash. I've used Aveeno fragrance from body wash for years and it is works great for my dry sensitive skin. I use Cerave body cream for moisturizer. Tfs!
Hi dr dray ..plz can u review farmacy beauty ?
I’m one of those that just want to “cook in the shower” during my central NY winters!!!
🙊😂🤣
That being said, on your recommendations quite awhile ago, I now apply Cerave cream on my wet skin...game changer!!
Maybe others have given that advice, but I had never heard it before watching you and it’s been the most helpful thing I’ve ever added to my showering routine. 💗💖💕💗💖💕💗💖
Thank you for ALL this fabulous advice! It’s totally applicable to me and my skin at this moment and much needed!
Thanks for watching 💜
I’d love to know your thoughts on the best tinted sunscreens, tinted moisturizers, etc, for those of us who don’t love going completely barefaced :)
Kristyn McKenna awesome thanks! I didn’t know cetaphil made a tinted one. I love the videos where she analyzes the ingredients of a bunch of products at once and gives pros and cons of them all 🤗 so I’d love to see one of those about tinted products
Dangit I didn’t realize she had a video on her favorite tinted spfs already 🤦🏻♀️ ok so then I amend my request to tinted moisturizers!
i have videos on those topics
This video came at a perfect time for me. I’m on accutane and dealing with sudden winter weather where I am! Thank you again for all the information you share 🙂. Skin has such a huge effect on people’s quality of life, so it’s a wonderful thing you’re doing!
thanks for watching
Thanks for all the great information. Especially about how important it is to stop the itch cycle. That explains why I will have an itchy spot for no apparent reason other than dry skin.
Thanks for watching 💜
Happy Friday Dr Dray!💜🦄☮️💟 I really needed and loved this video! My body skin has gone haywire since I moved to FL permanently.😬 Im going to start using my tub of Vanicream head to toe after my showers! Thank you so much.💙🙏🏻
Happy Friday 💜💜💜
A Way 😃🙌🏻💖🌸💕🌴💙🦋😘❣️
Hi Gina!!! My family and I spent thanksgiving in FL and I was thinking of you the whole time. Hope you’re doing well.I too need to start using Vani in the tub...🌷🌸🌹🌸🌷😘
Watching from Ireland!! love all your content!! you have saved my aging skin and my wallet!! thank you so much for all your expertise!!
You look so pretty! Im currently learning so much for your videos and trying to educate my almost 50 yr old mom through the info you give us here on RUclips as well! Thank You for all you do for us here Dr! 😌 Happy Holidays!
Thank you SO much for recommending the Cerave Itch Relief and I had no idea taking antihistamines could potentially make the skin dry. My whole body is now comfortable and properly moisturized. It was worth the money!
so glad to hear!
Yes definitely time for this video, ''tis the season" for dry skin ❄️🌬☃️
thanks for watching
Exactly what I've been waiting for, you're ther best Dr.Dray .
Hope you Have a great day!
Happy Friday 💜💜💜
I bought 3 tubs of Aquation Cream(Cerave isn’t available in my country) . When I met you, I now moisturize my whole body. My family thinks I’m crazy.
Your skin is so pretty Dr. Dray 😍 My skin gets so dry when I swim and sit in the sauna at my local fitness center !!!! I put Vanicream on after I shower. It helps a bit!
This was very helpful, thank you. It answered alot of my questions.
thanks for watching
Very helpful, thank you! I wish someone would invent a long reaching tool to put moisturizer on the triangle between shoulder blades and going down the back. In the winter here in DC, that section of my back gets itchy small red bumps here where I obviously can't reach myself with moisturizer. (This then turns into post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation) Water becomes my enemy as it gets drier and drier and I actually loathe the shower at this time, so I'm totally on board with short, tepid showers! This also happens in the summer in dry climates as well, such as Montana. I also get the little red bumps on my chest and thighs. I've never been diagnosed with eczema, but I treat it as if I do with the Cerave Anti-Itch Cream you mention, the ointments, and in the past, I've been prescribed the same medication often used for poison ivy (cannot recall the name). Literally several doctors consider me a mystery!
@@cameo403 Good idea! Thank you! 😘
that exists: amzn.to/2Pa8WAp
I found the vanicream cream moisturizer is too thick for my skin. It gets so easily congested and will feel rather dry even after applying. But.. I have repurposed the cream to use as a precleanser. If you damp your hands after applying a little moisturizer, it has slip to it and removes makeup decently. It works for me haha.
Loved this video though, and I love vanicream
The cotton sheet masks are likely loaded with Round-up pesticide which is really hard for the body to detox, it has a slow breakdown rate for sure. Cotton is almost always grown with it.
Since removing all products with fragrance from my skincare and applying face/body moisturizers to wet skin, my skin has shown so much improvement and so much less sensitivity! Love all the videos and advice ❤️❤️
glad to hear this has helped :)
Free and clear and Vanicream products are fantastic. it is sold at walmart, target CVC and walgreens. Also, the company has vanicream for dry skin and other vanicream products like lip baum, soap and lite vanicream which is a lotion that is lighter than vanicream. Vanicream really absorbs qreat into the skin. Please check these products out. Look up the company or simple vanicream products established in Rochester, MN
Thank you, Dr. Dray! I have purchased CeraVe moisturizing cream, Vanicream moisturizer, and Vanicream lip protectant on your recommendation, and love them all. I had that dry shins problem you talked about!!! Until I started using the CeraVe right out of the shower. Hallelujah! :)
I really like the Vanicream lip protectant, it is a little casty but I don't care. I did try putting a swipe of lip color over it though, and that works like a charm for anyone who does care.
Great tip regarding the plain mask and overlay! I didn’t realize they were available. Thanks Dr. Dray.
I love Vanicream! It’s a gem for me 🤗
I got vanicream because of you, they should sponsor you :) Happy Friday!
lilies009 Same here! ;-)
@@ginalaperuginanyc7641 Dr. Dray is awesome. Have a great weekend :)
lilies009 Agreed and thanks! :-)
same here! agree!
@@nellsgirl Happy Friday :)
Perfect timing on his video- went skiing today and my skin and eyes are now soooo dry! Will try the tips here next time for sure! Thanks and have a great 👍 weekend!
Thank you so much. I needed this review this year. Plus, I learned new techniques. Your videos are a gift. ❤️
Thanks for watching!
The loofah is now in the trash! YIKES! I will say that while I was healing I put nothing on my face. No make up, no masks, no scrubs, no cleansers. I used a damp cloth and then my moisturizer and my skin looked amazing. My nose not so much, but my skin was actually glowing. But, I do have a humidifier in my bedroom as well. Great information as usual! Thank you!
Does the humidifier make a difference for you compared to when you don't use it?
Meme Rod Yes, very much. The older I get the dryer I get so adding this about 5 weeks ago has helped. I did it specifically thinking it would help my mouth breathing and dryness after having septoplasty. Admitadely, there are some variables, but I do feel like it's helping.
Thanks for watching 💜
Great tips as always. It really was a fantastic trip exploring Jordan, Jerash, Petra, Wadi Rum Desert, Dead Sea, Amman and then onto Egypt to Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Able Sible.... The ruins and trip were incredible and would definitely recommend and I wore sunscreen everyday, a hat, sunglasses and wore long shorts and trousers to cover up... You were with me in skin care thank you 🙏😇🌍🐶
Thanks for another extremely informative video. I recently bought Aveeno skin relief body wash and daily moisturizing lotion in Costco. Both are fragrance free and make my skin feel soft. Have a great weekend!
Good morning Dr. Dray. As a dermatologist, is there something you can recommend for intimate care?
She said in a comment above she doesn't recommend anything. For what I've experienced it depends on what your body can tolerate. You don't need anything to clean because vaginas are self cleaning but if you want to clean the outside you can wait until the end when the water has softened everything and just clean with the tip of your fingers and water. If you want to use some kind of a soap and your body can tolerate it, make sure it's fragrance free, essential oil free and doesn't have sodium lauryl sulfate. I actually use the same soap I use on my face for my lady parts because it's that gentle. I buy the 16 oz bottle of cleanser from acne.org.
@@eneydita That's very helpful. Thank you!
I just bought the plain sheet masks & silicone mask through your links. Hopefully you get some sort of credit for it. My face is so bad with eczema right now it bleeds. I will begin your instructions next week once I receive the masks. Thank you again!
Great information, so helpful, thank you! I have learned so much from your channel, I have stopped spraying rose water (aka perfume) on my face for one!
Thanks for watching 💜
Love your videos. Can you do a video on Feminine Hygiene and products you recommend, please!
i dont recommend feminine hygeine products at all
Dr Dray oh. Thanks for replying. I am just not sure how to be clean 😬
Stephanie Francis thank you ☺️
Thank you SO MUCH for all of this info. I have 2 spots on my back that drive me crazy with itch... to the point that if I could, I would consider cutting them out. I will immediately start using cold ointment...
Thanks for watching 💜
Fantastic information. I will be implementing some of these. Very thorough Dr Dray. Thank you so much.
thanks for watching
Greetings from India, Dr. Dray!!! Just wanted to thank you for saving me soooooo much money on cosmetics! I am a BIG fan of your channel. Lots of love and best wishes!
Thanks for watching 💜
That’s so neat you mentioned that about the fabric barrier. A few times in my life I over did it and chemically burnt my face with acne fighting products. To heal the abused skin I found little dehydrated cloth masks at TJ Maxx. They came in little containers and once rehydrated with water they came to full face size. I would then apply layers of raw aloe pulp to my face and then seal it with the cloth. From time to time reapplying alow to the outside of the cloth and it in fact healed my skin in record time.
:)
I’m embarrassed to how addicted I am to these videos 😊🥰
thanks for watching
Thank you so much Dr. Dray... Your the one.. My only one... Angel dermatologist... God send..
Thanks for watching 💜
Help! My skin has improved since I started applying moisturizer to wet skin but it takes my skin forever to air dry! I freeze to death. Why does it take so long?? Can I at least blot with a towel after the moisturizer? Lol. I am desperate here. Your videos just get better and better.
Same here. I can't do the whole wet skin moisturizing at all. :/
Very educative. Thank you, Dr. Dray 💜
Hi dr Dray. So helpful, thank you! So many useful tips! Thanks a lot and have a great weekend!
Loved the video!! Love the Fridays Q&A!! I appreciate the information so much!! Thank you for an amazing video as always!! Please enjoy the rest of your Day!!
Happy Friday 💜💜💜
Dr Dray Thank you!! Much love to you!
Thanks Dr Dray !! Ive been doing it wrong... i dry my face after the shower then I put on my moisturiser
I just bought the cerave ointment based off of your recommendation because I’m have such ITCHY dry patches that won’t go away
I think I’m going to start vlogging this vlogmas!! I’ve been wanting to do it for awhile, mainly because I love dr drays vlogs so much ❤️
Finally someone told me how to break the itchy scratchy cycle. Thank you Dr Dray!
it is tough
wish you would have showed us the masks! As someone from the north, I will say the best way to put lotion is in the shower. The Jergens in shower lotion is amazing. That lotion is meant to be used in the shower to capture the water so you never wipe the water off. Very silky.
Good heavens, what a wonderfully explained and helpful video! I didn’t know about the do it yourself masks before. I’ve shied away from masks because Of sensitivities, but now that I know about using my own stuff, I’m in it! Just ordered the masks, and I’m planning many luxurious moments ahead with my cerave! 🙏🙏😘😘
Thanks!
Yahoo for this video! I was hoping for an updated skin care for winter and lo and behold you read my mind! Thank you, Dr. Dray!
Incredibly helpful. Thank you, Dr. Dray 😊
thanks for watching
Thank you so much for this! My skin has been a big itchy mess and I look forward trying out all your tips!
Thanks for watching :)
I constantly learn new info from your videos! As always, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and product recommendations!!
Thanks for watching :)
I have Sjogrens syndrome. Talk about dry skin! Thank you so much, Dr. Dray for the helpful tips! 👍💜
Thank u Dr Dray for all the skin care advices and informations..You are so smart, beautiful and with radiant skin.🙂
Vanicream products have an antiperspirant, and sunscreen line as well as all the other fragrance free parabin free lanolin free products offered that are wonderful for the skin and don't have all the negative ingredients that eventually take away positive elements in the skin that most commercial products do.
You’re the best Dr. Dray! Thank you for all the helpful information. Have a great weekend! ❤️
Happy Friday 💜💜💜
How do you feel about St. Ives products Dr. Dray?
Have a nice weekend!
Michelle Williams She’s not a fan! But if you have some she says to use it to exfoliate your feet
Thank you for rescuing so many of us from a miserable itching skin condition , your contribution on RUclips is so valuable! 😘
The wet skin followed by a moisturizer was such a simple tip, but I see from other comments, that many were unaware of it and we are not youngsters :)
On another note, do you have any suggestion for post (very post..like 9 months) shingles treatment? My elder father was not treated correctly and promptly at the beginning and he is now suffering from the nerve damage left behind by the shingles. Hopefully my parents will come and visit me next week from Italy (I said hopefully, because I had to cancel the trips three times in the course of 4 years) and I was reading about acupuncture and particular foods good for it. What’s your suggestion? Thank you 🙏
I'm in awe of how little I know about skin care ....
Thank you for another great video!!! Does the CeraVe Pm cover all three categories? (Occlusive, Humectant, Emollient)
Absolutely love your channel! Thank you from Canada 🇨🇦 💖💖 Where it’s now winter and skin is soooooooooo dry!
Thanks!
walmart's equate brand now has a dupe for the cerave pm for a fraction of the cost. same pump container. feels slightly thicker, like cerave's older formulation.
I am pretty sure that's the one I looked at and the ingredients were not the same even though they obviously want it to look like a dupe.
@@SammyMaeQ same ingredients, as i stated, this dupe is closer in consisancy to the original cerave pm
