Thank you doctor for this video. I would add Microneedling though. I have tried almost everything to look younger + delay aging as much as possible, anything from face exercises, vitamin C serum, Fraxel, collagen supplements and of course Retin A (7 years straight), home devices and what not. However, nothing made any real difference compared to the high-quality derma pen I purchased for around 100 bucks. Within 3 months of use, my skin has improved DRAMATICALLY. I don't look like I'm 18 again, but definitely not 44 either. My fine lines have disappeared completely, and my nasolabial folds are way less are nonexist (Never had jowls though). People often underestimate the power of wounding and the revolutionary effects it can have on the skin and instead spending thousands of dollars on botox\fillers\serums\creams etc.
Shhhh...don't tell everyone! (Joking) Ive been microneedling for almost 10 years - most guess I'm @ 15 YEARS younger than my birth certificate says. I DO it myself at home, quote aggressively in places, and lightly in others,,maybe 1x month. I am 63
+1 for kora beauticaIs. I've been doing microneedling since it started 12 or so years ago. Nobody believe I am 55. They all say I am in my 30's or early 40's. As you know, as we get old, our skin gets thinner therefore creating wrinkles. But the wounding kept my skin still thick and youthful. Your comment will help so many women to restore their skin..
to add to the towel thing also consider that your pillowcases and bed spreads could also play a roll in the buildup of bacteria and oils that would lead to acne and break outs
I've always been a stomach/side sleeper but began sleeping on my back and my face has never been clearer! I sometimes get a small blemish right before my monthly, but my skin has improved dramatically 🤍
@@estatemuffin As a fetal position sleeper, idc how clear my skin could get, I could never give up side sleeping for back sleeping. Also cant even control that 😂
I’m a fetal position sleeper and I change my pillowcase every few days. I sleep on it once, turn it upside down (so my face will touch the less-touched part? idk my logic lol), then flip it to the other side, then change it.

Use the palmers anti acne bar. It has sulfur in it and is like 3 bucks. I was amazed it got rid of my sebacious filaments I have been struggling with for years!
Yes! Calamine lotion also has sulfur. I got a bottle of calamine “spot lotion” off of shop miss a for $1 and its amazing. Just don’t get it on your silver jewelry!
@heyitshay297 it does, but you just need to put on extra moisturiser. Warning though, if you wear silver jewellery take it off before you use things with sulfur in it. Sulfur tarnishes silver immediately.
Im living for the butt ointment. Felt weird being in a baby aisle with no babies, but a nice mom helped me choose one and said she was gonna try it on her face too. It was a whole thing. 😂
It's pretty sticky though. I have to wear my hair tied up at night so I don't have my hair plastered to my face. Doesn't stop me, but it's something I noticed.
@@March_Girlmost of them have mineral oil and lanoline tho in them and is really irritating and cloging , she said to not take the brand that have those in them but I can't find any without ( I need to find the video with the kind she recommended cause my skin really hated the one I tried 😢
I am 62 years old and I been dealing with acne all my life, I have a very oily skin, and I been in a lot of dermatologist and tried everything, I have an okay skin, but not perfect, and I can tell you, that you either born with good skin or you don’t, my husband doesn’t put nothing in his face, and doesn’t care about towel and yet he has a porcelain skin.
Same! I’ve had acne since I was 9 thought it was would go away but it never did I now have acne plus the scarring and now I’m 42 I have rosacia as well. In my 20’s I got some laser and skin peels and they worked really well for about 8 years but it all returned..
I agree! I use Skin B5 tablets and MSM Sulphur powder. Take both orally. If I use those along with a clean diet free of animal products I can control my skin. Soon as I stop, it comes back. (MSM powder is super cheap…$17 for a big tub here in Australia and it shuts down oil production).
What else do you use ? I’m currently using the brand hood modules niacinamide serum. I’ve noticed a difference in my pores instead of them being kind of blackish darker they’re starting to get lighter in color, and my pores of selves have actually gotten noticeably smaller. I don’t want to switch up my care too much and usually a ton of different products but it’s solely introducer.
They have a Sulfur bar soap for face and body at walmart for $5 if you want to try introducing sulfur without paying so much for brands like Kate Somerville ($44)
Dairy isn't the problem, it's the processes that make it bad for you. Raw and unprocessed dairy, like homemade, would benefit you a lot more, as it hasn't been stripped of it's bacteria and microbiome that keeps our guts and GI tract healthy.
YES!!! Every day. It sounds excessive, but use one side, flip it for the next day, change on third day to brand new pillowcase/wash your old one. I cannot stress this enough. Also bonnets for EVERYONE no matter the hair texture, so your hair oils and products don’t accumulate on the pillow case and get transferred to your face!!
I already purchased the Kate Somerville Cleanser you recommended and have been using it for 6 months now. I did see a dramatic decline in sebaceous filaments on the nose and white heads in my forehead area. However I couldn’t say how much the cleanser actually contribute because I use a lot of other products at the same time. Nevertheless, my skin is now clearer than it’s ever been. Big thanks to you my favorite derm!
I used sulfur back in the 90s and it was super effective. The form of it I used was extremely affordable, but a little stinky. So I didn't use it before a date, but otherwise it was fine. The form: onion juice. I just gently rub a fresh slice of raw onion over clean skin before bed. Voilà!
@@crunchysound what is onion peel recipe? What kind of tips? Hmm well... hot water compresses help with minor skin inflammation, like pimples and eczema.
I’m not gonna lie. Where I live most people of all ages have nice, clear, smooth skin. When I moved back to this area my skin was in shambles but after a few months my skin started to look as good and clear as everyone else’s. I think air quality played a part in this for me. I’m sure a doctor could scientifically disprove what I’m saying and that’s fine. However, I also know when I went to see a dermatologist to help me clear up my skin, my skin still looked bad after following their recommendations.
Where do you live? And how far was it from where you were before? I don't mean to be creepy, i just want to know about the weather, humidity and water mineral content. Regional habits may have an effect too, maybe the climate favors indoors x outdoor activities or specific kinds of bacteria and or deterring minerals. A vague answer is fine if you feel unconfortable. I glad your city has your skin covered 😂❤
No you're right. Weather and the water you have play huge roles into your face and scalp. I live in a really humid and warm city with not so good quality of water. So no matter how much i wash my face I'm still gonna get some pimple here and there, and the water always makes my scalp so itchy which doesn't help the scalp fungus i already have due to the humidity of my city. When i traveled to a more dry place my pimples all disappeared
True. Some people’s skin is more sensitive to the environment and/or particles than others. My acne broke out like no other when I lived in Seoul. To this day, I believe it was the dust in the air that clogged my pores. I now live somewhere with hard water (the water leaves white limestone residue when it dries), and I started breaking out immediately after moving to an apartment without a water softener. Seems particles make me break out. 🤷🏼♀️
Cosmetic chemist here. Sulfur in a cleanser has actually no time to do its job, just like any other active ingredient we are going to put in something that stays on the skin for a minute before rinsing. It's likely that the skin just needed a different cleansing formula if you happen to be happier with the sulfur product in comparison to whatever you were using before, especially if you switch from foamy to creamy.
She mentions that when using a sulfur cleanser/cleanser with any active that they need time to sit on the skin to do...well, anything other than just cleanse pretty often actually 😊
she recommends massaging the face with the cleanser and then wear it like a face mask while you do other things around the house. preferably for a minimum of 20 min before rinsing.
does it change the effects if you massage it in and let it sit for 10 minutes? i always felt like this about my salicylic acid cleanser. like how is it supposed to work if i lather it on for a minute and immediately rinse it off?? so i started massaging my cleansers in and leaving them on for 10 minutes.
Remember: you should avoid sulfur if you use a prescription-strength retinoid, it will cause irritation and skin peeling. I learned the hard way then read my medication pamphlet afterward and it stated this, along with avoiding AHA’s and Lactic Acid for the same reason.
“You’re doing everything right and your skin still looks like this” *shows skin with a couple of the tiniest blemishes I’ve ever seen, skin that I would DREAM of having*
Totally get it!! But there are people like me who would not know what to do if my skin acted up like that. I wish everyone could just have perfect skin and we could spend our time worrying about things that matter more. Good luck w your skin journey x
I like what you said about the towels. I use clean towels but it’s too much garbage every week. I’ve been looking for an alternative and that gave me a great idea. I found a pack of wash cloths on Amazon for a decent price !
Thank you! But Now Im a bit confused 🙈😅 for acneprone skin I should use salicylic acid cleanser 2 times a week, I just started that (AHA BHA) and now I saw this. Can I use sulfur cleanser everyday and still salicylic acid 2 times a week? What to you think about high frequency? 🥰 Thank you!!!! 😃😍🙏🏽
My skin feels so beautiful the morning after using a night time surfer treatment. All of my little bumps and clogged pores smooth out. My redness is gone. I used to use it as a last resort because of the smell but now I realize using it regularly keeps my usual skin problems at bay. SO worth it.
I bought the exact kate somerville cleanser due to your recommendation and used it for 2 months AM and PM, leaving on for at least 10min, and it did nothing to reduce the look of sebaceous filaments (didn't have any clogged pores so can't comment on that). But then I used ISDIN 100mg/g benzoyl peroxide covered with thick white layer of La Roche Posay Cicaplast B5+ and my sebaceous filaments improved by well over 60% overnight, they were barely visible in the morning. ISDIN on it's own was not enough tho when I tried it alone (when sebaceous reappeared in 2 days time) - as if it helps and my pores oxidise overnight again, the very important part is putting thick occlusive on top to not let pores oxidise again. As someone with oily T zone, nothing else helped and I tried A LOT, and no one was talking about face basting for sebaceous filaments specifically - would love to hear your opinion!
can you do a video on severely dry skin with red spotting, i don’t think it’s rosacea just an inflamed skin barrier. i used to have such nice even toned skin :(
As a perimenopausal woman- my skin has changed completely. At this point, the only things I’m using are a boutique soap with a soft washcloth and Cocokind Ceramide barrier serum and cream. Anything else drys me out, and/or breaks me out. During my early 40’s I had perioral dermatitis that went undiagnosed for a year or two, and had to use Metrogel to clear it up once I Googled all the symptoms and asked my dr if that’s what I had.🤦🏼♀️ It looks and acts like acne around the nose and mouth but never really clears up. My skin is finally soft, smooth and mostly blemish free now. 🎉
I love washing my face with my hands. Freshly washed hands of course 😉. And remember those makeup brushes and sponges! Deep clean them and also have a spot cleaner for in between deep cleans.
Sulfur honestly almost affected my eyes… I used the De La Cruz Sulfur Ointment and I honestly hadn’t used it in a very long time, forgot about the whole “only 10 minutes” limit, though only kept it on as a temporary mask, this was under even my eyes (entire face treatment : right). I rinsed it off and dried with my towel. As soon as I sat down… Cause I was going to later shower, wasn’t going to moisturize right away (plus sulfur’s scent : I would’ve liked to double cleanse with Dove’s bar soap to help reduce the scent). ~ My eyes immediately started itching, watering, releasing tears, couldn’t even keep it open from how reactive it started getting & I immediately look up on my phone what’s sulfur reactions to the eyes or what about if sulfur is near the eyes - All results are about “chemical burns”. I immediately ran over & my eyes are both red & watering like tears. I washed my hands and quickly flushed my eyes with cool water & cleanse my eye area to eyebrows to entire face & rinse & flushed with water my eyes & thankfully, my eyes cleared bright white again. And I was scared to relieved. Thankfully. Decided to never use it again. It gave me a terrible reaction (should Never be used for a bit of time & if you feel even heated or dizzy to lightheaded or especially never use it as a face mask or even near the eyes : It’s actually a dangerous chemical 😂😂). I would’ve never thought.’ I ended up using it again a couple days after to spot treat painful hormonal cysts (my menses was approaching at the time and it was only relieved with clean extraction & treating it : Nothing solved it completely like actually having my menses on its day 1: surprisingly: everything calmed down immediately & my skin turned lusciously glowy). Fast forward now, I feel Benzoyl Peroxide (Panoxyl’s 10% BP Cleanser), though it’s a great clear skin staple, and does help treat hormonal acne the best - I feel it honestly makes my skin so dull overtime and like scabbed. I’m giving my skin a gentle break (it helps with glow surprisingly). My skin type is sensitive and dry, with mild dehydrated bits, I feel mostly on the forehead and maybe eye area. *PS, ♥️ La Roche Posay’s Double Repair Moisturizer [UV] immediately calms down its redness, with Niacinamide and ceramides; Also is an irritant to the eyes from having its sunscreen portion, so I’ve been double layering moisturizers, Eucerin’s Original Healing Lotion is great as an overall thick, occlusive/creamy moisturizer, and the LRP one stings (has Hyaluronic Acid: beneficial but it stings my skin & I’ve only gave its moisturizer a chance recently because of its benefits: Really good post-Benzoyl Peroxide to soothe redness, and to treat dehydrated skin. Though LRP has great products, I may preference Eucerin (even their Advanced Repair Lotion is amazing for body & face💯) & Aquaphor’s Baby Healing Ointment as a spot treatment & even on the lips to seal & repair (making sure it’s not too close to ingest) much more, even Vaseline with Cocoa Butter. 💯 [I like LRP’s moisturizer so far though : great post-BP** & its products during my esthetician’s past usage of them: Eucerin & Aquaphor may be more preferable though : for my like skin types! 🥰] So from my experience, sulfur definitely varies 😂😂 And I love how your past videos helped with validating the fact for me too (thank you!) • I honestly stopped liking it. Made me terribly reactive (purged my skin to the point my eyes got red red & watering). 😂 ‘Terrible. I think it was only kept for 7-12 minutes maximum too. Cause I was in between talking with someone even during a quick mask & rinsed it. To being so irritated to even keep my eyes opened (Goodness Forbid!) 😂😮💨🙏🏼 Stay safe! Spot treatment, even with use of a cotton q-tip is likely the safest bet I feel.
Sulfur creme safed me!! Oily skin girli her, my poores where HUGE the sebum visible from a mile away but i have been using sulfur for almost two weeks now and my sebums are gone!!❤
Eating good also plays a HUGE part in good skin. I realized food like ice cream, condensed milk or desserts containing condensed milk, chicken skin, and eating hot foods during the summer rather than the winter. When I say hot foods it's not the tempuratures, it's the heat of the ingredient. For example, chicken is hot, but fish isn't. Turmeric is hot, but yoghurt and milk isn't. That's why homemade face packs that include turmeric needs to have something cool to counter the heat. These are foods that I found that affected my skin, maybe it's different for you. For my best friend it was milk and milk or white chocolate that was causing her acne. She had much better skincare routine than me, but it didn't seem to work so she went to the dermatologist and doctor, and that's how she found out. It broke her heart because she absolutely loved chocolate and milk, but once she swapped it with dark chocolate and alternative milk, it helped clear her acne. So once I started eating more vegetarian food during the summer and meat during winter and switched ice cream with fruit yoghurt or gelato and completely stopped condensed milk and including chicken or duck skin when I cook chicken or duck. My acne cleared up completely even when I had 'bad skin care routine'. Once I started taking care of my skin, I kept my products simple, and it really helped with removing all the acne scars I had.
This is interesting but could you elaborate on what you mean by hot and cold foods? Like most people I know of eat fish hot so not really sure what this means. Is it referring to the temperature of the regions where these types of foods were historically most consumed? As far as I know, Chicken is consumed still a lot in cold countries, and fish in hot countries as well like Portugal and Spain, so I'm a bit confused as to what this means
@@mist8814 yeah I know it's confusing but in most Asian countries there is this concept that food can be warm or cold for your body. If eating wrong it could make you sick or over heat your body. So I eat fish hot as well but it's more cooling for my body than chicken or meat. Chicken, ginger, turmeric are all foods that are warm for the body. So you eat such foods largely during winter or when you are sick. That's why chicken soup is healing for sick people. Foods like yoghurt, cucumbers, fish, most vegetables, melons and gourds, are all cool for the body. When you eat them, even when it's cooked and warm, it leaves your body feeling lighter and cooler. It's perfect during summer but sometimes you could get sick. For example, Mango is very hot, on its own if consumed a little too much during the summer season it could cause acne and boils. But this fruit is produced best in the summer, so we soak the mango in water for a while to get rid of the heat or leave it in the fridge. Guava is a fruit that is very cool. Since I have a sensitive throat I used to avoid guava because I'd get a throat ache. However my grandma would put salt and chilli powder to balance the cool of the guava with the heat from the chilli powder. Eating it this way significantly reduced the times I would get a throat ache. Also we aren't supposed to drink water after eating guava because water is cooling and will result you in getting sick. Another example is alcohol. It helps warm your body. People living in colder regions eat a lot of meat and drink alcohol because that's more suited for your body when you live there, but in a warmer country like India, being largely vegetarian helps kepp your body cool which is perfect for surviving the heat. You can search online for foods that are warm or cool for your body and can plan when to eat what.
Is there anything equivalent to a sulphur cleanser for someone with a SULFA/Bactrim allergy? I remember in another video you spoke about how people with SULFA allergies should avoid sulphur cleansers, and as someone with that allergy and blackheads on my nose, is the only other option salicylic acid? Thank you!!
My face stops breaking out, when I add a few drops of dandelion extract, into to my water, each day. Acne can be a result of a sluggish liver, and dandelion is good to help the liver create more bile, to help break things down - and not create build up in the body, that will cause issue, such as acne.
My sulfur mask is a holy grail for sure! I have been using the De La Cruz ointment frequently (sometimes nightly when I’m around my cycle) and I love it so much I cut open the tube and scrape every bit of product out before opening my new tube even though it’s inexpensive. It might not smell good but I’m on my 3rd tube since this time last year so I hope I never have to replace it! Make sure to leave your sulfur treatment on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing it off, though. I’m 43 years old and my skin glows so much I have been asked if I was pregnant a few different times 😅🫣🤗
I had pretty bad acne, and didn’t k ow I had sensitive skin until I was in my 20’s. Besides skincare/cosmetics, all laundry products had to be fragrance free etc. We didn’t have $$ for a dermatologist when I was younger sadly.
I followed her advice and started to use a sulfur cleanser as a mask around my nose (sebaceous filaments) I only used it twice so far and seen results on the spot but the next day they reappeared… do you guys know how this works? Do I have to use it regularly for better lasting results?
Ever since i had mini circles of goosbumps kind of patches that appeared seasonally and my dermatologist took one look at it brought up a huge book and was like: Sulfur soap and a gentle body moisturizer. My mom thought it was a joke but it worked. Turns out allergies mess up my skin barrier and i was too little to start an allergy treatment just for smth thay doesn't really bother me but bothers my mom. He helped me realise there was such a thing as a skin barrier and how to regulate it. That helped me through puberty a lot with back acne and with my hoohaa health.
dear Dr. Shereen, please also give tips to red spots (not acne) on the butt! I try to make those disappear with no success. (I wear cotton underwear, I clean my toilet, I sit on an ergonomic (breathable) chair, I treat my skin with glycolic acid and cica cream (and diper cream) and the success is always partial... they just keep coming back. Helpppp please!
I used to get this and I was recommended hibiscrub. Honestly it was amazing and now I use it for intimate washing. No irritation, spots or cysts, no BV or thrush outbreaks since I've used it. Also use it on my face when I have a break out
personally i love the look of pores on skin, it just adds that nice texture look and makes the skin look real if that makes sense (people without very visible pores are cool to, i just prefer the look of pores) /gen
Facial tissues people, facial tissues. None of these towels get cleared completely of bacteria in the wash, they’re called facial tissues for a reason and to be used for this purpose
@@lynettebr if not your face what are you using facial tissues for? Not to mention they are made from cotton and are biodegradable sooooo, it’s from the earth and returns to the earth what’s the issue?
@xJellyMx Mass production. Even if it's biodegradable it's still not enough to offset the cost when the resources are stripped faster than they can replenish, and cotton is quite an expensive crop.
@@tessala21 so if it’s such an issue what do you wipe your ass with? Assuming you live in a western country people use tissue to wipe their asses, not every country has bidets
I ditched face towels all together. Coming from a place with hot humid climate at that. I’ll just wait few seconds before applying anything and i think it helped me cure my adult acne. My skin is happy now after a year of not using towels
I only use clean wash clothes or paper towels for hands after washing face and let face air dry with small fan. Always do skin care first before body lotion or anything! And always use my foreo luna as it helps more than anything I’ve ever tried with cleaning out pores and with this routine I’ve finally got clear skin and clean therefore better looking pores.
I completely agree with the face towels bit. I can instantly get breakouts if i put my face on a pillow or a dirty towel. Little things make the biggest difference
So crazy… after my night routine I would reach out for a kitchen towel. I know its weird but I just didn’t want to use my own face towel instead something new and disposable its crazy how our mind is connected to our body. This makes so much sense now! And I will invest in daily towels for the week 😂❤
Cutting out dairy is the only thing that ever cleared my acne. It’s been 9 years and I haven’t looked back. I was 31 and wish I’d done it sooner in my life. The acne annihilated my confidence. I’m so grateful it’s gone, and it went fast with this.
Please more of these! This is amazing 😭 if you have any tips for back, chest and back neck acne please make a video about it. For some reason I got so much the past week and Idk why I'm doing everything I have been doing for the past years 😭
I really don't have much acne but my skin just looks dry dry dry! Not actively peeling or flaking, just dry. I use a hydrating cleanser, hyaluronic serums, Uber hydrating moisturizers. No change.
I use a different flannel every day and salicylic acid face wash, I still get spots just a lot less than I used to. Oh and flip my pillows daily but yeah you can’t always avoid them all

Same! I’ve had acne since I was 9 thought it was would go away but it never did I now have acne plus the scarring and now I’m 42 I have rosacia as well. In my 20’s I got some laser and skin peels and they worked really well for about 8 years but it all returned..
True
Your husband probably doesn't have oily skin. You could try vitamin A supplements or microdose Accutane to cut down on the oil.
I agree! I use Skin B5 tablets and MSM Sulphur powder. Take both orally. If I use those along with a clean diet free of animal products I can control my skin. Soon as I stop, it comes back. (MSM powder is super cheap…$17 for a big tub here in Australia and it shuts down oil production).
I've been using the Tula Sulfur Cleanser you recommended and so far it's been great on keeping my skin clear.
What else do you use ? I’m currently using the brand hood modules niacinamide serum. I’ve noticed a difference in my pores instead of them being kind of blackish darker they’re starting to get lighter in color, and my pores of selves have actually gotten noticeably smaller. I don’t want to switch up my care too much and usually a ton of different products but it’s solely introducer.
Can you please share the link of the clip in which she recommended which brands to go for?
I also would like to know where she talked about these products

Filters lol tiktok automatically smooths out your face even if you don’t put a filter on purpose.

I cut out dairy, especially yoghurt. My adult acne cleared. I wish I’d know this in my 20s 😢
I'm glad it worked for you but I cannot live without dairy lol 😭😭
I started drinking raw milk and cut out processed foods, mine cleared up.
Dairy breaks me out, but i love cheese!
@@omgheather1you could just cut back, you don’t have to cut it out completely. The dairy alternatives that exist these days are pretty good too.
Dairy isn't the problem, it's the processes that make it bad for you. Raw and unprocessed dairy, like homemade, would benefit you a lot more, as it hasn't been stripped of it's bacteria and microbiome that keeps our guts and GI tract healthy.
Also change your pillowcase often. Dont touch you face a lot, its easy to pick up bad habbits of touching your without even realizing it.❤
YES!!! Every day. It sounds excessive, but use one side, flip it for the next day, change on third day to brand new pillowcase/wash your old one. I cannot stress this enough. Also bonnets for EVERYONE no matter the hair texture, so your hair oils and products don’t accumulate on the pillow case and get transferred to your face!!
For me I have to remember to wash my pillow cases often or change them often
Evry 3.days all sleep Blankets pillows needs to be changed.thats normal for me, as African....i learn from my Mother. I have best skin.
I already purchased the Kate Somerville Cleanser you recommended and have been using it for 6 months now. I did see a dramatic decline in sebaceous filaments on the nose and white heads in my forehead area. However I couldn’t say how much the cleanser actually contribute because I use a lot of other products at the same time. Nevertheless, my skin is now clearer than it’s ever been. Big thanks to you my favorite derm!
The sulfur just unlocked a memory where i used to use a sulfur cream that stank but worked great when i was 13
I used sulfur back in the 90s and it was super effective. The form of it I used was extremely affordable, but a little stinky. So I didn't use it before a date, but otherwise it was fine. The form: onion juice.
I just gently rub a fresh slice of raw onion over clean skin before bed. Voilà!
Lol beautiful

@@zoheraaftab6852 have you seen a doctor/derm? Do you take vitamin D? Sunlight might help as well, but it comes with risks.
I’m not gonna lie. Where I live most people of all ages have nice, clear, smooth skin. When I moved back to this area my skin was in shambles but after a few months my skin started to look as good and clear as everyone else’s. I think air quality played a part in this for me. I’m sure a doctor could scientifically disprove what I’m saying and that’s fine. However, I also know when I went to see a dermatologist to help me clear up my skin, my skin still looked bad after following their recommendations.
Where do you live? And how far was it from where you were before?
I don't mean to be creepy, i just want to know about the weather, humidity and water mineral content.
Regional habits may have an effect too, maybe the climate favors indoors x outdoor activities or specific kinds of bacteria and or deterring minerals.
A vague answer is fine if you feel unconfortable.
I glad your city has your skin covered 😂❤
That happen to me too. I go to college in different city and BAM! My skin is better than it'll ever be in my home town.
No you're right. Weather and the water you have play huge roles into your face and scalp. I live in a really humid and warm city with not so good quality of water. So no matter how much i wash my face I'm still gonna get some pimple here and there, and the water always makes my scalp so itchy which doesn't help the scalp fungus i already have due to the humidity of my city.
When i traveled to a more dry place my pimples all disappeared
True. Some people’s skin is more sensitive to the environment and/or particles than others.
My acne broke out like no other when I lived in Seoul. To this day, I believe it was the dust in the air that clogged my pores. I now live somewhere with hard water (the water leaves white limestone residue when it dries), and I started breaking out immediately after moving to an apartment without a water softener.
Seems particles make me break out. 🤷🏼♀️
Pollution and different types of tap water can really affect your skin.
My skin has improved A LOT since I started using paper towels instead

Lol just noticed 😆
Thought it was a mirror hahah
Cosmetic chemist here. Sulfur in a cleanser has actually no time to do its job, just like any other active ingredient we are going to put in something that stays on the skin for a minute before rinsing.
It's likely that the skin just needed a different cleansing formula if you happen to be happier with the sulfur product in comparison to whatever you were using before, especially if you switch from foamy to creamy.
She mentions that when using a sulfur cleanser/cleanser with any active that they need time to sit on the skin to do...well, anything other than just cleanse pretty often actually 😊
She's addressed this. She says to put it on and let it sit.
she recommends massaging the face with the cleanser and then wear it like a face mask while you do other things around the house. preferably for a minimum of 20 min before rinsing.
does it change the effects if you massage it in and let it sit for 10 minutes? i always felt like this about my salicylic acid cleanser. like how is it supposed to work if i lather it on for a minute and immediately rinse it off?? so i started massaging my cleansers in and leaving them on for 10 minutes.

Remember: you should avoid sulfur if you use a prescription-strength retinoid, it will cause irritation and skin peeling. I learned the hard way then read my medication pamphlet afterward and it stated this, along with avoiding AHA’s and Lactic Acid for the same reason.
I don't even use a towel. I just air dry. 😂

My skin feels so beautiful the morning after using a night time surfer treatment. All of my little bumps and clogged pores smooth out. My redness is gone. I used to use it as a last resort because of the smell but now I realize using it regularly keeps my usual skin problems at bay. SO worth it.
I bought the exact kate somerville cleanser due to your recommendation and used it for 2 months AM and PM, leaving on for at least 10min, and it did nothing to reduce the look of sebaceous filaments (didn't have any clogged pores so can't comment on that). But then I used ISDIN 100mg/g benzoyl peroxide covered with thick white layer of La Roche Posay Cicaplast B5+ and my sebaceous filaments improved by well over 60% overnight, they were barely visible in the morning. ISDIN on it's own was not enough tho when I tried it alone (when sebaceous reappeared in 2 days time) - as if it helps and my pores oxidise overnight again, the very important part is putting thick occlusive on top to not let pores oxidise again. As someone with oily T zone, nothing else helped and I tried A LOT, and no one was talking about face basting for sebaceous filaments specifically - would love to hear your opinion!
this sound so complicated

can you do a video on severely dry skin with red spotting, i don’t think it’s rosacea just an inflamed skin barrier. i used to have such nice even toned skin :(
Same here
As a perimenopausal woman- my skin has changed completely. At this point, the only things I’m using are a boutique soap with a soft washcloth and Cocokind Ceramide barrier serum and cream. Anything else drys me out, and/or breaks me out. During my early 40’s I had perioral dermatitis that went undiagnosed for a year or two, and had to use Metrogel to clear it up once I Googled all the symptoms and asked my dr if that’s what I had.🤦🏼♀️ It looks and acts like acne around the nose and mouth but never really clears up. My skin is finally soft, smooth and mostly blemish free now. 🎉
I love washing my face with my hands. Freshly washed hands of course 😉. And remember those makeup brushes and sponges! Deep clean them and also have a spot cleaner for in between deep cleans.
Sulfur honestly almost affected my eyes… I used the De La Cruz Sulfur Ointment and I honestly hadn’t used it in a very long time, forgot about the whole “only 10 minutes” limit, though only kept it on as a temporary mask, this was under even my eyes (entire face treatment : right).
I rinsed it off and dried with my towel.
As soon as I sat down… Cause I was going to later shower, wasn’t going to moisturize right away (plus sulfur’s scent : I would’ve liked to double cleanse with Dove’s bar soap to help reduce the scent). ~
My eyes immediately started itching, watering, releasing tears, couldn’t even keep it open from how reactive it started getting & I immediately look up on my phone what’s sulfur reactions to the eyes or what about if sulfur is near the eyes - All results are about “chemical burns”.
I immediately ran over & my eyes are both red & watering like tears. I washed my hands and quickly flushed my eyes with cool water & cleanse my eye area to eyebrows to entire face & rinse & flushed with water my eyes & thankfully, my eyes cleared bright white again. And I was scared to relieved. Thankfully. Decided to never use it again. It gave me a terrible reaction (should Never be used for a bit of time & if you feel even heated or dizzy to lightheaded or especially never use it as a face mask or even near the eyes : It’s actually a dangerous chemical 😂😂). I would’ve never thought.’
I ended up using it again a couple days after to spot treat painful hormonal cysts (my menses was approaching at the time and it was only relieved with clean extraction & treating it : Nothing solved it completely like actually having my menses on its day 1: surprisingly: everything calmed down immediately & my skin turned lusciously glowy).
Fast forward now, I feel Benzoyl Peroxide (Panoxyl’s 10% BP Cleanser), though it’s a great clear skin staple, and does help treat hormonal acne the best - I feel it honestly makes my skin so dull overtime and like scabbed. I’m giving my skin a gentle break (it helps with glow surprisingly). My skin type is sensitive and dry, with mild dehydrated bits, I feel mostly on the forehead and maybe eye area.
*PS, ♥️ La Roche Posay’s Double Repair Moisturizer [UV] immediately calms down its redness, with Niacinamide and ceramides; Also is an irritant to the eyes from having its sunscreen portion, so I’ve been double layering moisturizers, Eucerin’s Original Healing Lotion is great as an overall thick, occlusive/creamy moisturizer, and the LRP one stings (has Hyaluronic Acid: beneficial but it stings my skin & I’ve only gave its moisturizer a chance recently because of its benefits: Really good post-Benzoyl Peroxide to soothe redness, and to treat dehydrated skin. Though LRP has great products, I may preference Eucerin (even their Advanced Repair Lotion is amazing for body & face💯) & Aquaphor’s Baby Healing Ointment as a spot treatment & even on the lips to seal & repair (making sure it’s not too close to ingest) much more, even Vaseline with Cocoa Butter. 💯 [I like LRP’s moisturizer so far though : great post-BP** & its products during my esthetician’s past usage of them: Eucerin & Aquaphor may be more preferable though : for my like skin types! 🥰]
So from my experience, sulfur definitely varies 😂😂 And I love how your past videos helped with validating the fact for me too (thank you!) • I honestly stopped liking it. Made me terribly reactive (purged my skin to the point my eyes got red red & watering). 😂 ‘Terrible. I think it was only kept for 7-12 minutes maximum too. Cause I was in between talking with someone even during a quick mask & rinsed it. To being so irritated to even keep my eyes opened (Goodness Forbid!) 😂😮💨🙏🏼 Stay safe! Spot treatment, even with use of a cotton q-tip is likely the safest bet I feel.
Hi, is there a cheaper drugstore version for a good sulfur cleanser that you recommend for acne prone skin?
Sulfur creme safed me!! Oily skin girli her, my poores where HUGE the sebum visible from a mile away but i have been using sulfur for almost two weeks now and my sebums are gone!!❤
I had the worst acne, then I took accutane. Now I never have to wash my face, don’t gotta do nothing now and i never get zits anymore.
Eating good also plays a HUGE part in good skin. I realized food like ice cream, condensed milk or desserts containing condensed milk, chicken skin, and eating hot foods during the summer rather than the winter. When I say hot foods it's not the tempuratures, it's the heat of the ingredient. For example, chicken is hot, but fish isn't. Turmeric is hot, but yoghurt and milk isn't. That's why homemade face packs that include turmeric needs to have something cool to counter the heat.
These are foods that I found that affected my skin, maybe it's different for you. For my best friend it was milk and milk or white chocolate that was causing her acne. She had much better skincare routine than me, but it didn't seem to work so she went to the dermatologist and doctor, and that's how she found out. It broke her heart because she absolutely loved chocolate and milk, but once she swapped it with dark chocolate and alternative milk, it helped clear her acne.
So once I started eating more vegetarian food during the summer and meat during winter and switched ice cream with fruit yoghurt or gelato and completely stopped condensed milk and including chicken or duck skin when I cook chicken or duck. My acne cleared up completely even when I had 'bad skin care routine'.
Once I started taking care of my skin, I kept my products simple, and it really helped with removing all the acne scars I had.
This is interesting but could you elaborate on what you mean by hot and cold foods? Like most people I know of eat fish hot so not really sure what this means. Is it referring to the temperature of the regions where these types of foods were historically most consumed? As far as I know, Chicken is consumed still a lot in cold countries, and fish in hot countries as well like Portugal and Spain, so I'm a bit confused as to what this means
@@mist8814 yeah I know it's confusing but in most Asian countries there is this concept that food can be warm or cold for your body. If eating wrong it could make you sick or over heat your body.
So I eat fish hot as well but it's more cooling for my body than chicken or meat. Chicken, ginger, turmeric are all foods that are warm for the body. So you eat such foods largely during winter or when you are sick. That's why chicken soup is healing for sick people. Foods like yoghurt, cucumbers, fish, most vegetables, melons and gourds, are all cool for the body. When you eat them, even when it's cooked and warm, it leaves your body feeling lighter and cooler. It's perfect during summer but sometimes you could get sick.
For example, Mango is very hot, on its own if consumed a little too much during the summer season it could cause acne and boils. But this fruit is produced best in the summer, so we soak the mango in water for a while to get rid of the heat or leave it in the fridge. Guava is a fruit that is very cool. Since I have a sensitive throat I used to avoid guava because I'd get a throat ache. However my grandma would put salt and chilli powder to balance the cool of the guava with the heat from the chilli powder. Eating it this way significantly reduced the times I would get a throat ache. Also we aren't supposed to drink water after eating guava because water is cooling and will result you in getting sick.
Another example is alcohol. It helps warm your body. People living in colder regions eat a lot of meat and drink alcohol because that's more suited for your body when you live there, but in a warmer country like India, being largely vegetarian helps kepp your body cool which is perfect for surviving the heat.
You can search online for foods that are warm or cool for your body and can plan when to eat what.

My face stops breaking out, when I add a few drops of dandelion extract, into to my water, each day. Acne can be a result of a sluggish liver, and dandelion is good to help the liver create more bile, to help break things down - and not create build up in the body, that will cause issue, such as acne.
just to clarify, do you mean dandelion root extract? i've only seen dandelion root extract or lemonbalm dandelion extract
hmm interesting. commenting cuz i want to remember this
Ah you can use it topically????? I HATE the tea 😅 I make root tea at home but I’ve been thinking about just making it a tincture
My sulfur mask is a holy grail for sure! I have been using the De La Cruz ointment frequently (sometimes nightly when I’m around my cycle) and I love it so much I cut open the tube and scrape every bit of product out before opening my new tube even though it’s inexpensive. It might not smell good but I’m on my 3rd tube since this time last year so I hope I never have to replace it! Make sure to leave your sulfur treatment on for 10-15 minutes before rinsing it off, though. I’m 43 years old and my skin glows so much I have been asked if I was pregnant a few different times 😅🫣🤗
Do u make the mask or buy it?

Every time I wash my hair I change my pillow case. And I always use a different wash cloth. That's a must.
Ever since i had mini circles of goosbumps kind of patches that appeared seasonally and my dermatologist took one look at it brought up a huge book and was like: Sulfur soap and a gentle body moisturizer.
My mom thought it was a joke but it worked. Turns out allergies mess up my skin barrier and i was too little to start an allergy treatment just for smth thay doesn't really bother me but bothers my mom. He helped me realise there was such a thing as a skin barrier and how to regulate it. That helped me through puberty a lot with back acne and with my hoohaa health.

@@mykac.9598better would be chemical peels like bha and so on. Physical peels can be quite rough to skin.

Changning the pillow cases!

I use soft bounce paper towels everytime i wash my face . Washrags are too hard for my sensitive skin.
SAME! Turkish towels were a game-changer for me
You're supposed to pat dry
I use disposable (recyclable) bamboo face wipes, and it’s completely changed my skincare outcomes. Washcloths are bacteria breeding grounds.
Aaaand the pillow case thx for ur vidz ❤❤❤
I do that. And yes I’m gate keeping the rest on how to keep skin clear from break outs. Stay clean people
I use several washcloths a day, been doing it for years!😊
Thanks for the tip! Love hubby in the background chilling hehe
Noted! Also changing bed linens/pillowcase and headscarves helps too!
I believe that dirty phone can be worse than towel
washing with a clean washcloth every night changed my face
I’m a guy. I needed this. Ty.
Talk about Hard Water!!! I afded a filter & i saw drastic changes 😊
So glad i have beautiful skin naturally
I only use clean wash clothes or paper towels for hands after washing face and let face air dry with small fan. Always do skin care first before body lotion or anything! And always use my foreo luna as it helps more than anything I’ve ever tried with cleaning out pores and with this routine I’ve finally got clear skin and clean therefore better looking pores.
I completely agree with the face towels bit. I can instantly get breakouts if i put my face on a pillow or a dirty towel. Little things make the biggest difference
Also change your pillowcase! Rotate and flip it so you get four uses out of each and then change it
That’s it! I’m making an online order now!
So crazy… after my night routine I would reach out for a kitchen towel. I know its weird but I just didn’t want to use my own face towel instead something new and disposable its crazy how our mind is connected to our body. This makes so much sense now! And I will invest in daily towels for the week 😂❤
Cutting out dairy is the only thing that ever cleared my acne. It’s been 9 years and I haven’t looked back. I was 31 and wish I’d done it sooner in my life. The acne annihilated my confidence. I’m so grateful it’s gone, and it went fast with this.

And also super important but everyone doesn’t pay attention (me included) is to change regularly the pillow case.
