Thank you to everyone who submitted questions. In this video I covered sulfur for acne, layering skincare and sunscreen with makeup, applying sunscreen when you have facial hair, whether a separate face sunscreen is necessary, and a few products I have been using recently.
If you have a skincare question you would like to see answered in a future Q&A, please leave it in the comments below. I often pull questions directly from the comment section when planning these videos.
Thanks so much for watching!
What topical, if any, can help improve skin elasticity/elastin?
Happy Sunday Dr Dray so excited to be here i live for this have a nice day ❤️
Morning!
Here’s my question:
How long does a product need to stay on the face to be effective? Could I put an active product on the face, let it dry and then reapply it in a couple of hours to get more benefit? Once a product dries does has it stopped working?
Seems like you would just be increasing the risk of irritation.
Likely depends on the product. Sunscreen reapply. Some moisturizers may need to be reapplied.
Some topicals (especially prescriptions) have set times to reapply.
Depends on the product. Unless stated, actives are typically formulated to be applied once, like in the case of retinol or AHA/BHAs, benzoyl peroxide, etc. and the direction will state something like apply once a day, or apply 2-3x a week. An exception would be something like azaleic acid which can be applied twice a day, but then you have to gauge whether or not your skin can handle that frequency of application
Happy Sunday Dr Dray. Thanks so much for the ongoing education. It is consistently super-helpful, and you make discussions about antiperspirants actually fun. May I say that the room in your home from which you prepare your videos is absolutely beautiful…serene, architecturally lovely, such an amazing backdrop. Have a great day. 💐
2:00 I love the Prequel brand for its luxury feel, reliable science based products and affordability.
But here is my prediction: that line will be sold to a large company like L’Oreal or another big skin care company, they’ll jack up the price and and the products will become unaffordable, just like what happened with the Paula’s Choice line.
Yep. I predict this as well. Are there any U.S. brands where this hasn’t happened after 1-2 decades? I can’t think of any.
Yeah, the creator of Prequel is gonna make bank.
I don’t care as much about the increase in price, it is the change in formulas that is upsetting.
Hi Dr. Dray, happy Sunday! Thanks for another informative video ☺️
I do like that sweater!😊 hope everyone is having a great sunday!
Aye Dr Dray answered my question! Great way to start the week <3 Happy Sunday Dr Dray!
I follow Nikki La Rose suggestion on letting your concealer sit for at least a minute before you blend it in. She says and I agree that I need less concealer doing it this way and it also self sets which allows me to use only the tiniest amount of powder just to keep my mascara from smudging.
Thanks for the vid, been your follower for many years and missed your vlogs, random talks during drives..! 😊 Have a great day.
When I was a little girl in the 70’s I have pink and orange shag carpeting. Raspberry walls and a purple bedspread. You brought me back Dr. Dray!! 😂❤
Happy Sunday, I’m late today, our son & his wife came for lunch! Thank you for the video!❤
I love the tangents!!!
Thank you for such an informative vid! You always answer questions I didn’t know I have, and I stick around for the other stuff because it’s still interesting to learn about our bodies. Have a great week, Dr!
Love you in the pink and orange, Dr Dray! I thought it as soon as I saw you, and before you mentioned the colours. All the best. Jo (NZ) 💗🧡💗
Appreciate the helpful information, as always. Happy Sunday, Dr Dray!! Hope you have a relaxing evening. 💕
