Looking amazing per usual! I choose to agree with you
Thank you Dr Dray – i have SLE lupus and i have never quite appreciated the importance of sunscreen, i would never step out my front door without it. Keep yourselves safe all – there’s fortunately a variety of suncreams now to suit many skin types
Fellow SLE here🙋. I can’t go outside without at least 2 layers of sunscreen. My sun allergy is extreme. Then I put on a face and neck covering hat and gloves. Quite the ordeal to go outside.
Thanks Dr. Dray bc of you I wear spf now. You’ve helped save my skin in so many ways❤
Whose advice would you accept? A board certified dermatologist or an “influencer”.
Unfortunately, a lot of people are stupid and/or no longer listen to educated people but instead listen to “influencers” and/or people who purposely lead them astray for their own purposes.
Unfortunately, way too many people follow influencers.
People won’t listen to actual experts with real credentials and experience anyways. They’re too focused on distrusting literally every person who dares to use common sense and evidence. They’d rather trust people who appeal to their fears.
I think people choose to listen to whomever agrees with their own narrative. If they have an opinion about something (right or wrong) they’re going to seek out people who agree with them.@@GetWellSoonR.E.M.
@@cocomuhly was going to say the same myself 😔
I’ve been wearing sunscreen every day, winter and summer, since SPF was available. Sadly it wasn’t available when I was a kid. I’m now 75 and I’ve had melanoma three times. Thanks to my eagle-eyed dermatologist who checks me every 6 months and catches it early. Each time the mole looked normal to the naked eye. I can’t stress it enough: wear sunscreen every day and get mole checks every year. It could save your life.
Does the mole grow bigger? I’m curious. My friend is fighting melanoma right now and she has a mole that gets bigger everyday
Moles and anything else that looks out of the ordinary. in my mother’s case it was not a mole it was a bruise or look like a bruise but it was actually skin cancer
❤ thank you for sharing your story
Thank you🙏 I did a report for school on skin cancer when I was 15, and since then I have worn sunscreen ever single day and I’m 35. Got made fun of for being pale during my younger years because tanning beds were very popular in my teenage years, but all it took was seeing pictures of malignant melanoma to say, no thanks.
I got made fun of for having pale skin when I was a teenager but now I’m 60 years old and appreciate having young looking skin. My poor Dad had skin cancer on his face, scalp, etc.
People always make fun of my pale skin. Me and my boyfriend recently went on vacation in Thailand for a month. Used spf on my face and body every day. Now every single person thinks I had a really bad vacation because I’m still as pale as I was before. Even my own mother always forces me to “go out in the sun and get a tan”. She thinks that will make me look “more healthy”.
plzz can you tell wht sunscreen you used i always get tanned and burned plzz help@@bettlup
That’s really cool. It is so fun how school projects can change our lives like that!
Thankfully I skipped the tanning beds, I’m a little younger at almost 25. But I would still get people commenting on how pale I was, sometimes out of curiosity more so than teasing. I’m so glad that we’ve come such a long way in not creating this need to tan.
Yes girl.
We support an educated queen ❣️
Dr Dray looks beautiful here with bronzer
Yes she does! I had to click on the video just to confirm it was her. Gorgeous!
Please do a video about common allergens in Sunscreens. I’ve reacted to both chemical & mineral.
it doesn’t matter if sunscreen or no sunscreen. Some people can’t produce enough Vitamin D, which is why I take a daily supplement.
I think when you get older that Vit D absorbed into skin may be less. I’m an outdoor person, outside a lot.. My blood tests said I was low in Vit D. Now I take Vit D pills everyday. I try to use sunscreen a lot more these days to prevent damage to skin, age spots, wrinkles. I wore long pants all last summer and my dark spots on legs were minimized.
You look so pretty dr. Dray. Your hair and make up looks amazing!
Her hair color is so pretty right?!
Dr. Dray, you look amazing! Your skin looks so beautiful and glowy!
I’ve always wondered this! Thanks sista Dray ❤
Dr. Dray! Your skin is absolutely glowing in this video! ❤❤
I still don’t get why anyone who isn’t licensed would give thousands of people advice.
So glad you tell us what we need to know.
Thank you darling
Thank you for calling this out. So many people get influenced by such beauty influencers who don’t do their research and just post attention grabbing content for views
Looking gorgeous today Dr D! ❤
My sweet mother had melanoma and other skin cancers because she had to work in the cotton fields as a child. She was very fair skinned and there was no such thing as sunscreen in the 1930’s. As a RN I drilled the use of sunscreen into my daughters from the time they were babies. They are both so good at it now as young adults. Use it!!!
Your skin is looking even more gorgeous & glowy lately!
She uses filters now.
Thank you Dr. Dray! You look great!
You look soooo pretty!!! Thank you for clarifying why it’s so important to wear sunscreen.
