That's what CZcams and others web plateforms used to be a little bit more than a decade ago. People whom knew what they were talking about, and just wanted to spread the word. Time had changed. 😮💨
I really admire and respect these two doctors. I simply don't watch any other skincare creators. None. I have learned so much here. They have taught me about the basics and how to do my research. They offer sound, usable advise and explain things in easy to understand terms. Thank you so much for all your videos and knowledge that you share.
@@Doctorly thank you so much for your in-depth videos! My dermatologist never share any info about products and I’m so very very sensitive. Thank you guys!!!!! May I request some mature skin care tips, products, etc thank u in advance.

Another tip: Adapt your skincare routine to the climate you‘re in. I moved to Colorado where the climate is bone dry from relatively humid Northern Europe. I have oily skin and had to include way heavier moisturizers which I really wasn‘t used to.

@@mus1quenonst0p Well if the OP is 70 she's been using skincare before. When I turn 70 I'll still be using skincare because I started when I was 16. You won't stop. It's a way of life.
1. Just because a product is good, doesn’t mean the whole brand is. Choose the best products from different product lines. 2. Protect your neck from the sun. You can apply face products on your neck. 3. Sunscreen. You probably know this. 4. Stop popping pimples. 5. Be patient. You won’t see results straight away. Take a pic before using skincare and after a month or 2. You’ll see improvement then. 6. As you age and change, so should the products.

@@annetterios8789 Dr Dray is really not who she says she is and it’s crazy how people are not noticing. She just repeats information, I believe maybe she did go to school for dermatology but I do not believe she is truly a dermatologist.

Please correct me if I’m wrong I will stand corrected.

@@Doctorly I’m almost 60 and my skin is so oily to that when the oil get into my eyes it burns, what’s the best product to use. Thanking you in advance.
My frustration with skin is as soon as I think I have beautiful, perfect skin, it only lasts for like 2 days a week and then I'll get a pimple, some sensitivity, or my rosacea acts up. It's a constant battle. Oh well
Same lmao honestly all that above ain't shit ^^ Some skins just break out more, learn to love it no matter what it doesn't have to be that beautiful perfect skin
I’ve been binge watching your channel since I woke up! I’m African American, good skin care crosses all skin types…I find your information extremely valuable! You guys keep it simple and smart. Thank you! I love your channel!
Please, please, please 🙏🙏🙏 do a video talking about ingredients that fight hyperpigmentation, how to use them, what not to mix them with, and how to safely incorporate multiple ingredients in a single routine 😊 Awesome tips 🙌🏽👏🏽
@@annetterios8789 been following her years. I think few months ago she did a video on 10 products to flight hyperpigmentation, but I don't think she explained how to use each, what not to combine, how to use more than one in a routine, etc. 🤷🏽♀️
Thank you for emphasizing sunscreen. I’ve never cared for it and the education has been so helpful! I’m tired of being approached by friends to try different products. I appreciate that you care about the root of issues and not just trying to find immediate gratification in a nonsense “perfect skin” products. Thank you for educating, please keep explaining common mistakes that we keep falling into.
I am so happy you two started this channel. Because of you, I changed my skincare routine for the better. I was always afraid of exfoliation because I didn't had the best experience with it. Same goes for the sunscreen, as I have a naturally darker skin I always thought that spf 15 was enough for my face and neck, but because of you guys I switched to 30, and I can tell you that I already see after one month the changes on my skin, I also cannot believe it, but I feel so much more comfortable now with my skin that I can go out without makeup (which didn't happen since I got acne three years ago). Thank you!
Yes Dr Maxfield, a video to show people in their 50's and 60's with more mature skin addressing what products and routines to use for ageing, drying, older sensitive skin issues and wrinkles would be very helpful. Your anecdotes and bloopers at the end of each video are hilarious. Keep 'em coming.
Love the data-driven information that cuts through the marketing nonsense! Thank you & keep it coming!! Yes, please do a video for how skin care changes in each decade!! 👍🏻❤️
Trusting the routine and being patient are things I have FINALLY seen pay off. I started retinoids in February and my skin is better than ever (I’m almost 30 and my skin was the same as high school). Be gentle with your skin and be even gentler with yourself. There is no such thing as perfect.
Dr. Shah actually touched an important point. When I started my real skincare routine over a month ago to get rid of my hyperpigmentation, I started to look closely at my skin and saw things (flaws) I have never seen before. This can lead to a kind of disappointment and you will try to accelerate things up, which can make your skin situation even worse. So, patience is a key ingredient in skin treatment!
I love how down to earth and real you guys are and I love y'all's funny relationship with each other. It looks like y'all really do enjoy working side by side.
I'm so thankful that we have this kind of videos of real dermatologist FOR FREE! This is the only channel I follow when it comes to skin care. And they're also so calm and educated I just love it, thank you so so so much ❤
Dr. Shah being so over Dr. Maxfield's exercise regime is literally me listening to my gym bunny bestie telling me about her spin class. We get it, you're buff!

I was getting pimples all the time untill I discovered niacinamide and paula’s choice aha/bha exfoliator. i haven’t had one pimple since 4 weeks after I started it. Recommended it to a friend who had pretty thick skin and acne, always used lots of coverage. She is now going out bear skinned and looks amazing. Thank you and other skin care youtubers for telling us what good skincare entails. You are never too old to learn.
I discovered your channel a couple weeks ago and I absolutely love it! As a person with bad skin who can't afford a dermatologist, I really appreciate what you're doing to educate people on taking care of their skin! Thank you!!
I'm an MD too, and it's so great to see youtubers that are actually qualify to speak about skin, and that are addressing things like our skin changing it's needs and tolerances, because patients don't always believe that, they listen way more influencers rather than the doctor, at least when they first know him/her hahaha Lots of love, I hope to be your colleague soon (: - I want to do my residency in DERM, do you have any advice? Haha-.
Ever since I started watching your channel I have started taking time to actually have a routine and it has been amazing for my skin but most importantly my mental health. Taking twenty minutes a day on me has been life changing
Would you guys be willing to do an in depth video(s) on PCOS? With it comes things like acne, hirsutism, hair loss. Seems like a bit of things you guys could touch on!
Aging mom and grandmother here, 53 and have not really taken care of my skin. I’m beginning to see some things I want to stop, slow down, counteract etc. In essence, a video for aging skin would be wonderful. Btw, I love you guys! I just subscribed to your channel and will binge watch your past videos!
Yes! Please do skin care for older folks. Also maybe one on procedures for older women that might help that you or other dermatologists might offer in their office. Thank you!
I’d love if y’all could talk about medical grade skincare brands, such as, Obagi, Zo, etc... vs like drugstore or Sephora brands like Cera Ve, Paula’s choice, TO, etc. Are medical grade skincare products better/ more effective?
@@misscoltsI’ve learned a lot and highly recommend to you to watch the videos from the start. But If your goal is creating an anti aging skin care routine, then you should start using a gentle cleanser for AM and PM. In the morning after washing my face, I follow with vitamin c serum, moisturizer and sunscreen. At night after washing my face, I use retinol followed by a moisturizer. Stick to this routine for a while and you’ll see amazing results.
First timer here…and I smiled the whole way through! You two are so much fun and obviously adore each other which makes it that much more entertaining. My input: Show me videos focusing on each decade (yes-babies and kids too!!!) of typical skincare, including examples ranging from no to excellent skincare routines. I believe it would be equally as amazing if you spoke on the connections between caring for our skin and the other dimensions of health. What I am learning, now in my early 40’s, is how important my skin is to my mental and emotional heath in terms of self care. It has created a huge shift in my perceptions surrounding the skin care industry as well as the simple, loving act of caring for our skin and/or the skin of those we love. I look forward to going through your videos to get my learn on! Appreciate you both! 🤟🏼
Please make a video for skincare by age group! What to use in your 20s, what to use in your 30s, etc. till 90+. It's so hard to find info on when to switch to what, what to ditch and what to keep. Thanks for your amazing videos!

I’m genuinely so happy I found this channel. I’m a 24 year old trans dude who started taking testosterone in late July of last year... so I’m basically going through puberty, again. I’ve always had oily and sensitive skin (the oily skin doesn’t bother me because I think in the long run I’m going to look younger for longer haha) and oh WOW did I forget how much teenage skin just seeps oil. I’m lucky enough to not have majorly bad acne on my face (I have acne occasionally but I mostly struggle with acne on my arms, have ever since my first puberty rip) but I’ve noticed that where my facial hair is thickening I’m getting a couple angry spots on my chin. I’m making sure to keep the area clean and moisturised but I was genuinely concerned about acne scarring for a bit. These videos are great because now I can actively look for products that are no bs and can help my skin stay safe and healthy during this weird, oily, spotty time haha
Ahh I'm glad you're finding them helpful! You may want to add in a salicylic acid cleanser to your routine to help with those acne bumps or even something like differin gel, which will decrease oil product and help with acne! Wishing you the best :)
I absolutely love this channel!! ❤️ I am a healthcare worker and I feel so inspired to educate others after watching your videos!! 💃 Also, it's so lovely that your energy and vibe in the videos just portray that your intentions are purely just to educate people!! Thank you and keep up the awesome work!! 🌻
Honestly this was SO helpful. I struggle with emotional picking at my face and all of this was helpful to know. I love the idea of taking a picture every two months rather than every two days 😩 more videos on how to understand mental health to picking would be cool to see as well. Should you be seeing a therapist and a derm for that? Are there people that do both?
Před 2 lety
Regarding the connection between mental health and skin picking, I've found these two books quite helpful: - "Skin Deep: A Mind/body Program for Healthy Skin", by Ted A. Grossbart and Carl Sherman; - "Skin Picking: The Freedom to Finally Stop", by Annette Pasternak. Annette Pasternak also has a CZcams channel with informative videos on several aspects of skin picking.
omg that little bit of info about getting an allergy at any time rly made me feel so validated - i had a sudden eczema outbreak all over my face and discovered that it was triggered by things that didn't use to affect me in such a way before. thank you for all the great tips and advice shared!!!
These videos have changed my constant buying products. Everything is explained 100%. The explanation of using SPF was great for showing my grandkids why it is so important. Thanks so much.
I just want to comment on the “protect your neck part”, my aunt who is now 72 told me when I was 15 why her neck looks the way it does. Back in her day they always said to protect the face, moisturize, sunscreen ect but the women around her never mentioned the neck. So now her neck is very aged compared to her skin on her fsceZ So I always try to make sure that area is getting moisturized & getting spf on there. Thank you for all information and tips on skin care.
Pair down your regimen to the basics and avoid fragrance if you can. Double cleanse, then apply a moisturizer while your skin is still damp, then apply adapalene! In the morning rinse your face with water and apply a good mineral sunscreen under your makeup. It takes time, and the adapalene causes purging of the acne already forming under your skin, but after 3-4 months your skin will really turn a corner acne wise! After your skin gets to a good place, add in some kind of acid treatment like glycolic, lactic, or mandelic acid a few times a week. It will further unclog your pores and speed skin cell turnover even more which will help with both acne and aging. That being said if most of your acne is hormonal, that needs to be addressed first!
You two are so cute and well informed. I wish all dermatologist would give us the facts instead of freezing our spots. I’m now 83 and had great skin until I hit my 50th. I have dermatitis on my back. He keeps freezing.
My first fine line appeared on my forehead when I was 23, I started to use antiage creams and being more and more obsessed with skin care, everybody made fun of me cose I was too young for anti-aging creams. Now I'm 32 and I still have only that fine line and I look younger than 9 years ago 😅
Both doctors are good natured human beings that realize the public has access to so much information. In a perfect world false advertising would be punished more often. Thank you for being honest and giving your educated opinion on skincare. Please do more about mature skincare. Thank you
I have been doing skincare since I was 13 and learned so much from many brands and ingredients and watching these two have helped me understand skincare sooooo much. because I've been doing skincare for a while people have told me I look incredibly young because my skin looks very glowy and bright
U guys have the sweetest friendship, it's so wholesome and cute MashaAllah ☺️ And I'm getting some great advice at the same time as being entertained by ur banter, thank u! ❤️
Thanks for mentioning that allergies can develop at any time for any ingredient. This has been happening my entire life (eventually i will become allergic to almost everything I use anywhere on my skin). Claritin has been a miracle drug for me but i still get relapses, and had a major one when the quality of the generic Claritin versions went downhill several years ago. If you have a patient with chronic allergic contact dermatitis and their allergy meds stop helping, switch them back to the name brand of their allergy meds. An extended break from all products (yes, that's exactly what it sounds like - rebuild the microbiome from scratch...no pun intended) helps with a true hard reset of the immune response when nothing else is helping at all. Hth someone out there if/when the "textbook" methods stop working for them.
I just love you two! You both are so comfortable with each other and I love how you just bust each other’s balls and make fun of each other! I hope your friendship will last an eternity! Do not let anything get in between you both. Friendship is an amazing blessing.
The Neutrogena Sheer Zinc is amazing (and I have medium brown skin). My husband has deeper brown skin and it’s the only zinc sunscreen he’ll use because it disappears into his skin. Now the Ultra Sheer one?! That leaves a horrific white cast. Give the Sheer Zinc another try, Dr. Shah. Btw, love watching your channel. Great info and you guys keep things funny and light. Keep it up!
I love that they mention normal, everday accessible brands. The beauty arena makes me feel like unless I'm spending a small fortune it's a lost cause. But these delicious doctors give sensible advice.
Would love a video on the most effective order to apply products. For example, where in your routine are you supposed to apply sunscreen or prescribed topicals? Appreciate all you guys do!
When I was on accutane, it took about three months before I started seeing any depletion in my acne, and my dermatologist, at the time, even told me it would get worse within the first 2 months of treatment, but to hold out; I am glad I did.
“A lot of people outgrow their acne” 😭 although honestly I don't know any women who have outgrown it because of the hormonal aspect. I can't get rid of that monthly flare 😔
I cut off dairy and animal products, and skin is clear! I was the one whose like: I'm 30, why do I look like a teenager/woman with 2 kids. Now I eat meat a bit, eggs sometimes, no dairy, maybe pizza once in while with cheese. No acne has come back. I love my skin, I always get compliments on "duweenes" ☺. Never thought it's possible. Want to start retinoids, researching now, that's why I'm here:)
Very different type of “tips” video, thank you very much. Have been learning about skincare for 2 years now and I love all the knowledge that’s available on CZcams.
Yes yes yassss please a video for older skin!! Getting started late on skincare, so I feel I have to have a bit more steps to my routine, I dont mind. You guys are doing a great job informing and debunking myths that drain our bank account. Gracias!!!!
I know this is an issue many people talk about is darkened butt/private areas and any tips to avoid darkening or lighten those areas.only thing I’ve ever seen is people recommending products with dangerous ingredients. Would love to see a video on that, I know for kept people that might be a sensitive subject to ask a dermatologist in person.
Love your videos! You should have a “Rate My Routine” series of videos. Picking random fans (yes you have fans 😂) and request videos or written am/pm routines. You do an honest first time viewing for us and rate it as you go.
I'm literally watching and re-watching your videos every day! I'm learning so much from you guys... thank you! P.S. The detergent allergy happened to me, and I was itching from neck to ankle from a brand my parents used for years when I was younger. That practically full bottle is still in my laundry room waiting for someone to take it away.
I wish I had discovered this channel when I was in my teens or 20's, I literally paused the video and went to clean, moisturise and sunblock my neck, then came back to finish watching. I'm a new suscriber.

@@doreenbrand8631 i agree with you! I hope these doctors stay the same, but I want them to make money. Please don't be a sell out.
@@annetterios8789 Dr Dray is really not who she says she is and it’s crazy how people are not noticing. She just repeats information, I believe maybe she did go to school for dermatology but I do not believe she is truly a dermatologist. I mean what derm do you know that doesn’t wear a personalized scrub top, is always gone with their mom, always doing product hauls, doing everything but seeing patients??? Please correct me if I’m wrong I will stand corrected.
Yes a video on skin care for 50s and 60s would be great
Please!
Yes, over 50 please.....
YES Please
How about Obagi?
Woot for this idea! ✌️🥰
It is so refreshing to see people on CZcams who actually know what they are talking about when it comes to skincare! 😆💞💞🥰
I love Dr. Maxfield's hearty laugh lol and I love how Dr. Shah pokes fun at him in such a friendly friend way lol. This is truly a genuine friendship all round ❣️
@Doctorly - You are both incredible!! ☺️
Adding outtakes and bonus scenes after the « credits » at the end of each video....it’s like an Avengers movie, and I am here for it.
Haha thanks Dean! Glad you enjoyed!
@@Doctorly yes, wish there were even more crack-up moments. 😁😁😁
@@Doctorly I’m almost 60 and my skin is so oily to that when the oil get into my eyes it burns, what’s the best product to use. Thanking you in advance.
Hands down. This is the best skin care channel in CZcams.
My frustration with skin is as soon as I think I have beautiful, perfect skin, it only lasts for like 2 days a week and then I'll get a pimple, some sensitivity, or my rosacea acts up. It's a constant battle. Oh well
Have you tried Cerave? Cerave hydrating cleanser, too.
It’s all that cheap wine you drink.
Chocolate and sweets really trigger my skin. Have you tried cutting it out?
Same lmao honestly all that above ain't shit ^^
Some skins just break out more, learn to love it no matter what it doesn't have to be that beautiful perfect skin
I’ve been binge watching your channel since I woke up! I’m African American, good skin care crosses all skin types…I find your information extremely valuable! You guys keep it simple and smart. Thank you! I love your channel!
Please, please, please 🙏🙏🙏 do a video talking about ingredients that fight hyperpigmentation, how to use them, what not to mix them with, and how to safely incorporate multiple ingredients in a single routine 😊
Awesome tips 🙌🏽👏🏽
And please include if it is also safe with those with darker skin as well. 🙏🏾
I highly recommend you follow Dr Dray on her CZcams channel.
@@annetterios8789 been following her years. I think few months ago she did a video on 10 products to flight hyperpigmentation, but I don't think she explained how to use each, what not to combine, how to use more than one in a routine, etc. 🤷🏽♀️
@@orozcoaj69
Oh....ok. hope you get answers you're looking for.
@@annetterios8789 thank you Annette, I am watching the video now. She does say how to use some products but I still have questions 😬🙈🙃
I love these guys’ friendship! It’s great to see the positive energy that share with each other.
Thank you for emphasizing sunscreen. I’ve never cared for it and the education has been so helpful! I’m tired of being approached by friends to try different products. I appreciate that you care about the root of issues and not just trying to find immediate gratification in a nonsense “perfect skin” products. Thank you for educating, please keep explaining common mistakes that we keep falling into.
I am so happy you two started this channel. Because of you, I changed my skincare routine for the better. I was always afraid of exfoliation because I didn't had the best experience with it. Same goes for the sunscreen, as I have a naturally darker skin I always thought that spf 15 was enough for my face and neck, but because of you guys I switched to 30, and I can tell you that I already see after one month the changes on my skin, I also cannot believe it, but I feel so much more comfortable now with my skin that I can go out without makeup (which didn't happen since I got acne three years ago). Thank you!
Does anyone else sit and smile the whole time they watch one of their videos 😂😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
The whole damn time!!!
think I just got a wrinkle from smiling during this
@@kevinoleksiak7882 how do u say gay in Spanish?
They have such an amazing energy😍😍
Literally throughout every. single.
video. && I don't even know exactly
why lol😭😭 Love them so much !!!
Yes Dr Maxfield, a video to show people in their 50's and 60's with more mature skin addressing what products and routines to use for ageing, drying, older sensitive skin issues and wrinkles would be very helpful. Your anecdotes and bloopers at the end of each video are hilarious. Keep 'em coming.
Very much agree. 😊
Love the data-driven information that cuts through the marketing nonsense! Thank you & keep it coming!!
Yes, please do a video for how skin care changes in each decade!! 👍🏻❤️
Trusting the routine and being patient are things I have FINALLY seen pay off. I started retinoids in February and my skin is better than ever (I’m almost 30 and my skin was the same as high school).
Be gentle with your skin and be even gentler with yourself. There is no such thing as perfect.
You two are the perfect duo and look like you enjoy making these videos as much as we are enjoy watching them. Thank you!!
Dr. Shah actually touched an important point. When I started my real skincare routine over a month ago to get rid of my hyperpigmentation, I started to look closely at my skin and saw things (flaws) I have never seen before. This can lead to a kind of disappointment and you will try to accelerate things up, which can make your skin situation even worse. So, patience is a key ingredient in skin treatment!
I love how down to earth and real you guys are and I love y'all's funny relationship with each other. It looks like y'all really do enjoy working side by side.
I'm so thankful that we have this kind of videos of real dermatologist FOR FREE! This is the only channel I follow when it comes to skin care. And they're also so calm and educated I just love it, thank you so so so much ❤
Please please can you do a skin care routine for mature skin for age 60s Thank you!!! I’ll be waiting 🙏
What to do about marrionette lines & smoker's lines, please!
As well as neck and decolletage, everything I put on my face goes on the back of my hands.
Thanks for such awesome skincare advice!
Dr. Shah being so over Dr. Maxfield's exercise regime is literally me listening to my gym bunny bestie telling me about her spin class. We get it, you're buff!
😂😂 right?!
You meant regimen lol.....the english language!!!
@@zzzzzzz9077 i have been assured that english is one of the most difficult secondary languages to learn. I now know that *regime* has essentially the same meaning as *regimen* & yes I am aware how worldly the internet is; including t
@@zzzzzzz9077 Yes I am aware of this, however was not privy to the fact that *regime* has essentially the same meaning as *regimen* English is one of the most difficult secondary languages to learn and it appears that you have accomplished this feat very well. I hope you reply back and share the meaning of "sst" (as your sign off). Thankyou for your comment!
I love when Shah tease Maxfield in general. Cracks me up. It’s so subtl sometimes
I was getting pimples all the time untill I discovered niacinamide and paula’s choice aha/bha exfoliator. i haven’t had one pimple since 4 weeks after I started it. Recommended it to a friend who had pretty thick skin and acne, always used lots of coverage. She is now going out bear skinned and looks amazing. Thank you and other skin care youtubers for telling us what good skincare entails. You are never too old to learn.
I recently started using retinoids thanks to you guys and my skin is forever grateful! I'm a fan for life. ❤️
I discovered your channel a couple weeks ago and I absolutely love it! As a person with bad skin who can't afford a dermatologist, I really appreciate what you're doing to educate people on taking care of their skin! Thank you!!
I'm an MD too, and it's so great to see youtubers that are actually qualify to speak about skin, and that are addressing things like our skin changing it's needs and tolerances, because patients don't always believe that, they listen way more influencers rather than the doctor, at least when they first know him/her hahaha
Lots of love, I hope to be your colleague soon (: - I want to do my residency in DERM, do you have any advice? Haha-.
Ever since I started watching your channel I have started taking time to actually have a routine and it has been amazing for my skin but most importantly my mental health. Taking twenty minutes a day on me has been life changing
Honestly, every video you guys put out I'm like "imma get my notepad and take some notes!" So good thank you! x
Would you guys be willing to do an in depth video(s) on PCOS? With it comes things like acne, hirsutism, hair loss. Seems like a bit of things you guys could touch on!
YES! I suffer from PCOS, would love it
I would love that!!!! We are so many women who suffer from it
Omg, the facial hair..the acne. The PCOS. Please help 🥺
👏
Yes I want too see this as well and for dark areas etc
Aging mom and grandmother here, 53 and have not really taken care of my skin. I’m beginning to see some things I want to stop, slow down, counteract etc. In essence, a video for aging skin would be wonderful. Btw, I love you guys! I just subscribed to your channel and will binge watch your past videos!
Yes! Please do skin care for older folks. Also maybe one on procedures for older women that might help that you or other dermatologists might offer in their office. Thank you!
I’d love if y’all could talk about medical grade skincare brands, such as, Obagi, Zo, etc... vs like drugstore or Sephora brands like Cera Ve, Paula’s choice, TO, etc. Are medical grade skincare products better/ more effective?
I would love to hear the answer. I have the same doubt.
Medical grade is about where it is sold not efficacy.
I use Paula’s choice from Dr. S’s recommendation and it has transformed my skin! If you haven’t tried it, highly recommend!
My skin has never looked so good, thanks to all the tips I learned from this channel 💁🏻♀️
New here, can you give summary of what tips helped you?
@@misscoltsI’ve learned a lot and highly recommend to you to watch the videos from the start. But If your goal is creating an anti aging skin care routine, then you should start using a gentle cleanser for AM and PM. In the morning after washing my face, I follow with vitamin c serum, moisturizer and sunscreen. At night after washing my face, I use retinol followed by a moisturizer. Stick to this routine for a while and you’ll see amazing results.
First timer here…and I smiled the whole way through! You two are so much fun and obviously adore each other which makes it that much more entertaining.
My input: Show me videos focusing on each decade (yes-babies and kids too!!!) of typical skincare, including examples ranging from no to excellent skincare routines.
I believe it would be equally as amazing if you spoke on the connections between caring for our skin and the other dimensions of health. What I am learning, now in my early 40’s, is how important my skin is to my mental and emotional heath in terms of self care. It has created a huge shift in my perceptions surrounding the skin care industry as well as the simple, loving act of caring for our skin and/or the skin of those we love.
I look forward to going through your videos to get my learn on! Appreciate you both! 🤟🏼
Please make a video for skincare by age group! What to use in your 20s, what to use in your 30s, etc. till 90+. It's so hard to find info on when to switch to what, what to ditch and what to keep. Thanks for your amazing videos!
I second that!
Dr Maxfield:
-I like ”active” sunscreens💁♂️
Dr Shah: *rolling his eyes*
-Yeah okey we get it you work out..🙄😑
Dr Maxfield:
-...No, but my sunscreen do... 😏

THAT WAS SOO FUNNY I LOVE THEM HAHA
Dr Maxfield is so 💜💜💜
Love them both 😂
I’m genuinely so happy I found this channel. I’m a 24 year old trans dude who started taking testosterone in late July of last year... so I’m basically going through puberty, again. I’ve always had oily and sensitive skin (the oily skin doesn’t bother me because I think in the long run I’m going to look younger for longer haha) and oh WOW did I forget how much teenage skin just seeps oil. I’m lucky enough to not have majorly bad acne on my face (I have acne occasionally but I mostly struggle with acne on my arms, have ever since my first puberty rip) but I’ve noticed that where my facial hair is thickening I’m getting a couple angry spots on my chin. I’m making sure to keep the area clean and moisturised but I was genuinely concerned about acne scarring for a bit. These videos are great because now I can actively look for products that are no bs and can help my skin stay safe and healthy during this weird, oily, spotty time haha
Ahh I'm glad you're finding them helpful! You may want to add in a salicylic acid cleanser to your routine to help with those acne bumps or even something like differin gel, which will decrease oil product and help with acne! Wishing you the best :)
I absolutely love this channel!! ❤️
I am a healthcare worker and I feel so inspired to educate others after watching your videos!! 💃
Also, it's so lovely that your energy and vibe in the videos just portray that your intentions are purely just to educate people!! Thank you and keep up the awesome work!! 🌻
Honestly this was SO helpful. I struggle with emotional picking at my face and all of this was helpful to know. I love the idea of taking a picture every two months rather than every two days 😩 more videos on how to understand mental health to picking would be cool to see as well. Should you be seeing a therapist and a derm for that? Are there people that do both?
Regarding the connection between mental health and skin picking, I've found these two books quite helpful:
- "Skin Deep: A Mind/body Program for Healthy Skin", by Ted A. Grossbart and Carl Sherman;
- "Skin Picking: The Freedom to Finally Stop", by Annette Pasternak.
Annette Pasternak also has a CZcams channel with informative videos on several aspects of skin picking.
the secret to perfect skin is to have chemistry with someone like these two do
Im a little late with my comment...but dont tell my husband but you 2 are soooo cuuuuute haha o and thanks for the tips
& drink lots of water 😁
They give me smile/laugh lines.
🤣😂😅
Their 🦷🦷🦷😁😬are brighter than my future!
Ahaha sammme
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lol

The "Protect Yo neck" is a very useful tip. I had heard this before but never with a reasoning. Good to know the reasons. Will try to incorporate it.
omg that little bit of info about getting an allergy at any time rly made me feel so validated - i had a sudden eczema outbreak all over my face and discovered that it was triggered by things that didn't use to affect me in such a way before. thank you for all the great tips and advice shared!!!
Could y’all do a video on Korean skincare?
Yes I would Love to see this too
Yasss ♡
idk, i’m afraid all they will say is that “we don’t have any science to back up most of these ingredients-use retonoids and niacinimide”
@@mus1quenonst0p lol
Best videos to wind down to after working 12 hour Shifts at the hospital and doing my nighttime skincare routine at the same time! LIFE
These videos have changed my constant buying products. Everything is explained 100%. The explanation of using SPF was great for showing my grandkids why it is so important. Thanks so much.
I just want to comment on the “protect your neck part”, my aunt who is now 72 told me when I was 15 why her neck looks the way it does. Back in her day they always said to protect the face, moisturize, sunscreen ect but the women around her never mentioned the neck. So now her neck is very aged compared to her skin on her fsceZ So I always try to make sure that area is getting moisturized & getting spf on there. Thank you for all information and tips on skin care.
That would be awesome making a video for more mature skin!... thank you!
A video about dealing with adult acne, hyperpigmentation and aging (at the same time) would be amazing!!!!
Pair down your regimen to the basics and avoid fragrance if you can. Double cleanse, then apply a moisturizer while your skin is still damp, then apply adapalene! In the morning rinse your face with water and apply a good mineral sunscreen under your makeup. It takes time, and the adapalene causes purging of the acne already forming under your skin, but after 3-4 months your skin will really turn a corner acne wise! After your skin gets to a good place, add in some kind of acid treatment like glycolic, lactic, or mandelic acid a few times a week. It will further unclog your pores and speed skin cell turnover even more which will help with both acne and aging. That being said if most of your acne is hormonal, that needs to be addressed first!
Yes please
You two are so cute and well informed. I wish all dermatologist would give us the facts instead of freezing our spots. I’m now 83 and had great skin until I hit my 50th. I have dermatitis on my back. He keeps freezing.
I dream of finding someone who looks at me the way you look at each other… this is the best Bromance ever. 🙌
This two doctors are cute and scientific
My first fine line appeared on my forehead when I was 23, I started to use antiage creams and being more and more obsessed with skin care, everybody made fun of me cose I was too young for anti-aging creams. Now I'm 32 and I still have only that fine line and I look younger than 9 years ago 😅
Which products do you use?
I’m 23 now. What products do you use ☺️
I'm 34 now and just found my first line. 😭 😭 😭 😭
I've been doing skincare on and off but now I'm all in.
Both doctors are good natured human beings that realize the public has access to so much information. In a perfect world false advertising would be punished more often. Thank you for being honest and giving your educated opinion on skincare. Please do more about mature skincare. Thank you
I have been doing skincare since I was 13 and learned so much from many brands and ingredients and watching these two have helped me understand skincare sooooo much. because I've been doing skincare for a while people have told me I look incredibly young because my skin looks very glowy and bright
Can you guys speak more about whole BODY SKINCARE routine (for veeery sensitive skin) and by the way thank you so much for your content !!!!
U guys have the sweetest friendship, it's so wholesome and cute MashaAllah ☺️ And I'm getting some great advice at the same time as being entertained by ur banter, thank u! ❤️
MashaAllah
Thanks for mentioning that allergies can develop at any time for any ingredient. This has been happening my entire life (eventually i will become allergic to almost everything I use anywhere on my skin). Claritin has been a miracle drug for me but i still get relapses, and had a major one when the quality of the generic Claritin versions went downhill several years ago. If you have a patient with chronic allergic contact dermatitis and their allergy meds stop helping, switch them back to the name brand of their allergy meds. An extended break from all products (yes, that's exactly what it sounds like - rebuild the microbiome from scratch...no pun intended) helps with a true hard reset of the immune response when nothing else is helping at all. Hth someone out there if/when the "textbook" methods stop working for them.
I just love you two! You both are so comfortable with each other and I love how you just bust each other’s balls and make fun of each other! I hope your friendship will last an eternity! Do not let anything get in between you both. Friendship is an amazing blessing.
I'm loving this channel!
Could you talk about your opinions on collagen supplements?
They don’t work. Collagen is too big of molecule to be absorbed through our skin. It has. It’s all marketing lol
@@yariz8063 Yes, but I'm taking about supplements, for taking orally.
Take the powder supplements
The Neutrogena Sheer Zinc is amazing (and I have medium brown skin). My husband has deeper brown skin and it’s the only zinc sunscreen he’ll use because it disappears into his skin. Now the Ultra Sheer one?! That leaves a horrific white cast. Give the Sheer Zinc another try, Dr. Shah. Btw, love watching your channel. Great info and you guys keep things funny and light. Keep it up!
I have accepted that I will never be able to stop popping my pimples.😫
You guys are like the crypto coin that i was waiting 💫
What a terrible analogy
@@namename-gy6wh haha😂
Thank you!!!
Wtf, how?
c 0.
can you make a video discussing about ingredients that should be avoided when buying skin care products
Can we talk about moles? How do I need to check and protect them? When is it alarming? Not much discussion around this, would really appreciate it 🙏
Love this idea. We have Seborrheic keratosis that runs in our family.
Yearly checkups, checking yourself as well. If you see any changes to a mole, get an appointment ASAP.
I love that they mention normal, everday accessible brands. The beauty arena makes me feel like unless I'm spending a small fortune it's a lost cause. But these delicious doctors give sensible advice.
Would love a video on the most effective order to apply products. For example, where in your routine are you supposed to apply sunscreen or prescribed topicals? Appreciate all you guys do!
When I was on accutane, it took about three months before I started seeing any depletion in my acne, and my dermatologist, at the time, even told me it would get worse within the first 2 months of treatment, but to hold out; I am glad I did.
Can you please talk about LED light mask. Thank you so much! You guys are the best!
“A lot of people outgrow their acne” 😭 although honestly I don't know any women who have outgrown it because of the hormonal aspect. I can't get rid of that monthly flare 😔
I cut off dairy and animal products, and skin is clear! I was the one whose like: I'm 30, why do I look like a teenager/woman with 2 kids. Now I eat meat a bit, eggs sometimes, no dairy, maybe pizza once in while with cheese. No acne has come back. I love my skin, I always get compliments on "duweenes" ☺. Never thought it's possible. Want to start retinoids, researching now, that's why I'm here:)
"We're democratizing skincare information" thank you guys!
Yes, video for mature skin. I am 67 and need help
Very different type of “tips” video, thank you very much. Have been learning about skincare for 2 years now and I love all the knowledge that’s available on CZcams.
I just started wearing sunscreen daily because of you guys! Thanks for making me realize the importance of insurance
Yes yes yassss please a video for older skin!! Getting started late on skincare, so I feel I have to have a bit more steps to my routine, I dont mind.
You guys are doing a great job informing and debunking myths that drain our bank account. Gracias!!!!
I can’t wait for the skincare routines by age range! 😁
Only boys would not notice that the one bundle of sticks behind them still have the elastic band around them haha 💕
🤣🤣 we are low class
Ditch the sticks. No extra visuals needed. 😉
Im a female and didn't noticed..I think I was too busy smiling 😁
There are sticks? 😉
The "are they gay" comments amuse me. The sticks are a dead giveaway that they are not 🤣
I know this is an issue many people talk about is darkened butt/private areas and any tips to avoid darkening or lighten those areas.only thing I’ve ever seen is people recommending products with dangerous ingredients. Would love to see a video on that, I know for kept people that might be a sensitive subject to ask a dermatologist in person.
I Love your smiles and how smart & knowledgeable you both are about skincare ! Genuine and likable personalities too :)
Love your videos! You should have a “Rate My Routine” series of videos. Picking random fans (yes you have fans 😂) and request videos or written am/pm routines. You do an honest first time viewing for us and rate it as you go.
I'm literally watching and re-watching your videos every day! I'm learning so much from you guys... thank you! P.S. The detergent allergy happened to me, and I was itching from neck to ankle from a brand my parents used for years when I was younger. That practically full bottle is still in my laundry room waiting for someone to take it away.
best content for skincare on CZcams just love the explanation
I wish I had discovered this channel when I was in my teens or 20's, I literally paused the video and went to clean, moisturise and sunblock my neck, then came back to finish watching. I'm a new suscriber.
