You know, life's just crazy like that sometimes. Some of us punish our bodies with lots of different things, and yet we still have "flawless skin texture"
Some of us, we practice skin care, but sometimes...
Our skin doesn't care.
This is an underrated comment ❤
@@ilhamazad And you are an amazing person
As my derma teacher told us: if you get acne from eating chocolate, stop rubbing it on your face
Hahahaha love this one
A clever bit of idiocy
I honestly don’t get it.
@@TheSkinnyZthey’re saying that eating chocolate doesn’t cause acne, unless you’re rubbing it on your face
@@TheSkinnyZ the point is touching your face spreads bacteria and causes acne.
You are soo humble and kind in your delivery of your messages and knowledge. It makes it easier to absorb and listen to!
When it comes to cosmetology and fitness i believe there are more myths out there than there are facts
I got acne at 36 after having almost no skin issues, including during puberty (I'm still honing in on the reasons, I'm almost there). So yeah, young age is not essential, you can get it whenever, be it out of food mismanagement, environmental changes, disease, or whatever else.
People often are so nasty about others' troubles, like weight or skin issues if they never had those themselves. Just be compassionate, or at least don't attract attention to others' health problems.
Hot take, but... I don't think avoiding sun exposure and constantly using sun screen is good for us. Sunlight is mainly how we get vitamin D and sun screen can block rays that help us produce vitamin D. On top of that, so many sunscreens contain chemicals, fragrances, and even carcinogens that are very bad for us. Of course, sun burns are bad for our skin (I wear sunscreen in the summer and only when i know im going to be out in the sun for a while) but people have been working in the sun since the begining of time, our skin was made to handle it at least to an extent. People would be healthier and less depressed if they got more sun exposure, thats my theory.
well if u want to wrinkle and age sure but u can still go outside and enjoy the daylight while protected with sun cream. just look at east asians
It's not a hot take. When it's a wrong take.

You still get vitamin D. Sunscreen dont pritect 100%. Also darker skinned has less vitamin d intake from sun exposure but they also should use sunscreen.
As long as you eat your needed foods or take supplements instead, you will get enough vitamin D. Fish, eggs, milk, butter. If you cant eat those foods you can get supplements very easily at any pharmacy or even groceri store. And its not pricy.
@@lenerush1520 why is this a "wrong" take? Everything should be in moderation, so tired of everyone taking everything to an extreme. I am not saying that we should be out sunbathing constantly. I live in Seattle where we are all vitamin D deficient because it's constantly overcast. I eat healthy and treat my skin with natural oils and only wear sunscreen when i know I'm going to be out in full sun for an extended period of time. Protect your skin from burning, sure. But I see absolutely no reason for slathering on sunscreen in any other scenario when there have been so many studies done that have shown that many sunscreens contain KNOWN cancer causing chemicals. I have not seen any data that being outside and getting sun exposure IN MODERATION (not direct sun and getting roasted) does more harm than good. It baffles my mind that we know that artificial fragrances (which are in almost every household, hygiene, skin care, hair care, and cosmetic product), processed and added sugars in all our foods cause a plethora of health problems (including but not limited to cancer and skin issues), but it's more promoted that we use sunscreen everyday than make sure we have a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
@@angelapetrucci5507have you seen the news from the last year or so that we no longer can get enough vitamin D from sun alone in the fall and winter? In Seattle specifically. I'm from Seattle too.
Luckily im a redhead so I'm a super absorber of vitamin D from the sun. My levels are often above the healthy norm.
Just wanted to let you know in case you haven't seen the news about this, as a fellow Seattle local.
@@cinnamoslut it's still the most major source of vitamin D, but there are very few foods it occurs naturally in too. I do take a lot of supplements, but it's always better to get the majority of our vitamins from natural sources.
I'm 57 and dealing with acne. I have it more now than as a teen. Hormones are evil.
I'm suffering with you, sister. What the hormonal heck?!
You are so sweet and soft spoken so I respect and believe you
Thank you for debunking these myths ☺️ Love your channel and excellent videos ❤️
In terms of food my skin became healthy when I stopped eating gluten. I apparently had a gluten sensitivity that caused me to get eczema and allergies but this all went away when I removed gluten from my diet. Since then I don't have skin issues anymore. Especially Dairy caused me to have skin issues. Like at the beginning of the video, it is explained that they still trying to figure out why. Well I tell you that all of the doctors are still ignorant when I tell them that it was gluten that caused my issues. With minds like that, I am not surprised that they still trying to figure out why dairy and other foods might cause skin issues in some people.
Thanks for the video!
I'd love to see a collaboration video between yourself and The Budget Dermatologist. You both are very passionate about skincare and making people feel their best and I think it'd be fantastic.
Please do more! I love this video and how informative it is
Loved this type of video. Thank you!
Excellent video. Very interesting indeed 👌
Thanks for the myth busting. My acne is mostly hormonal but controllable with 2,5% benzoyl peroxide, vitamin c and a cheap nivea moisturiser. 😊 It doesn’t bother me as much anymore thanks to these great affordable treatments and I stopped depriving myself from good food 😂
I appreciate you because there's another plastic surgeon who is rude and believes every famous person has plastic surgery.He left me a rude message when I said someone I personally knew was always beautiful and is young and I knew without a doubt didn't have plastic surgery because not only are they against it but are scared to death of any kind of surgery.
I had barely any acne as a teenager, and now at the age of 28, I’ve been struggling with acne for the past 3-4 years. Just bizarre. My skin type also completely changed from extremely dry & flakey to now somewhat dry, somewhat oily, and acne prone.
Dum hormonal changes 🤦♀️ same with me
Isotretinoin was a game changer for me.
I think acne, blackheads and bad skin texture/complexion is more genetics than anything
so happy you included the one about tanning
Yes now I'm proud to be pale 😅
Essential video thanks 🙏🏻
DR.GARY! Are there any natural alternatives to Minoxidil's active effect? Not just Finasteride equivalents?
I have to disagree on one, face exercises. I have been doing 1 every morning. Started 3x/day for a year then to one a day. I lost my double chin. Didn’t lose weight. Did nothing different. I wouldn’t believe it either if I didn’t see proof on myself. 😊
it only makes sense because muscles are muscles even on the face and can be toned
Well, you answered a question that I've had for some time. Following viral cardiomyopathy, I was, for a few years, on Spironolactone for oedema. During that time, I noticed that the hair on my body was noticeably reduced both in quantity and thickness. It remained like this for many years, and only recently has some of it returned. Surprisingly, where it has returned, it is more like my original hair colour than the grey that has developed with age.
I love the thumbnail! It’s great that you’re not afraid to get silly
Hello, I enjoy following your videos. I have a suggestion: if you add English subtitles to your videos (I'm not talking about automatically generated subtitles), you can deliver information flawlessly to people all over the world.
Thank you doctor!! I haven't found anything in the literature, but do you know if acne could be related to allergies in some people? Thanks!
Thank goodness for common sense and an authoritative voice in this digital wilderness.
Can you do a video on lash growth serums? :)
hi, please make a video on Meryl Streep!
should i use sunscreen in winter?
Please cover Pete Burns for Plastic Surgery Analysis!
I have had bad reactions to many wrinkle creams except when in foundation. Can the foundation help at all when I were it.
I loved this vid! I almost hit all the facts right and I'm glad to know my skin, unfortunately I developed acne because of my contraceptive subdermal implant. As soon as I get my tubes chopped, I remove the implant and use something else for my periods.
Are retinoids bad for under the eyes even if mixed with sunscreen
I have the most sensitive, reactive, acne-prone skin. What works for me is 2.8% glycolic/hyaluronic cleansing pads & snail mucin. that's it. if I mess with anything else my face becomes totally inflamed.
I feel for anyone going through this & hope you try this ❤
Well i had BAD acne when i was in puberty. From 11 till 16 years of age. And i know for a fact that for me personally. Choclate and strawberries made it much worse.
Maybe its not proven scientifically. But did the research on myself by ruling things out.
"And I know for a fact that for me personally." Interesting sentence! 😉🤦♂️
@@thekeysman6760don’t be an @ss
I still don't understand if I should wear suncreen in winter. The last thing I heard about it is that people say that you should because in many areas the UV index is higher than 2 even in winter, and since you should wear sunscreen if the UV index is >2, you should wear it in winter too, so everyday. But where I live, the UV index is 0 in winter. I never tan, I get burns, and I never got burns in winter wearing no sunscreen
Just get a daily moisturiser that has SPF 30-50 in it and make it a part of your routine regardless of time of year; if it's light outside, that means sunlight is hitting your eye, therefore your skin, it's always being damaged even if its minimal
The only moment when you don't need to wear sunscreen is at night, basically.
During the day we're hit with sun light, being cloudy or not, with sunlight comes a spectrum of light waves, 2 of those are UVB and UVA. These 2 are the ones that cause skin damage.
Even when the UV light (including in this index the wavelengths UVA and UVB) is low, you want to protect your skin from them because the sun damage is accumulative and these wavelengths of the UV light are like radiation. UV light is invisible, the light we see from the sun isn't the one that damages, reason why if it's cloudy or not doesn't matter.
So if you want to stay prote
Well, they've all been found to have cancerous ingredients, so make sure you use a natural, organic one! 🤦♂️ Or just stay out of the direct sun more.
if the sun is there, wear sunscreen
@@Jjangbunbun Although, rather ironically, there are toxic substances in most sunscreen.
Hey Doc Gary, does chicken blood cause warts if it has contact with skin?
Hi! I got a question. My skin never gets tanned, or very very slightly if i spend a LOT of time exposed to the sun. And i never get sunbursts. Does that mean my skin is sort of super strong against the sun ? 😅 im super pale (by nature. Im not anemic or anything) though so that's weird.
Is there anything that can boost facial hair growth?
Is there anyone you can recommend in the Los Angeles area?
is it okay to get grafts from birthmark area on the back of your head? strategically, the biggest question
If I get hair extracted from my beard. How long until I can dye the beard area?
I was actually taught the toothpaste on acne thing in primary school, which is crazy since it's not even true.
Love you
Does acne reduce skin aging. Is this myth actually true?
Some of these are a bit simplified. Being in the sun is good for mental health and skin does, in fact, produce vitamin D. Tanning as such is not really a thing or should not be but being in the sun is not 'bad', it's like saying eating is 'bad'.
Does over run every day cause hair loss😢
I don't care if you have 1000 studies proving that sugar or chocolate isn't correlated to breakouts, I personally noticed that every time I was eating these (even the 100% organic chocolate), I was breaking out. So I'm listening to my body, and I reckon you should do the same.
Question: If UV can to thru glass, why do photoreactive sunglasses not work in the car or near a bright window? Is there some explanation for this? And pardon the rude question, but did you conquer your alopecia?
Watch 'How I Got My Hair Back' which he put up 4 months ago.
I've had problem with acne my whole life, well from early teens, I am 37 today and just popped one. I have no idea why I produce so much acne, got pills and treatments from skin doctors twice in my life but tehy seem to only help temporarily and then my skin is filled with acne and acne scars again. Good to know I'm not the only one I guess. :P
I disagree some people are sensitive to chocolate and break out easier it depends on the person. I get canker sores all the time from just a small amount.
You sound like you're allergic to something in that particular chocolate, and it probably isn't in all 'chocolate' either.
All I know whenever I eat a lot of sugar, I break out and scar. 😢
A mi cada ves que como chocolate me sale un acne grande😢
Question: Has Clint Eastwood, the legendary actor, ever had plastic surgery?
It would be an interesting analysis
My son had horrible acne, gave up dairy entirely and hasn’t had acne ever since.
I'm afraid that Gary Linkov's claim on chocolate not causing acne may be not correct. There's a study that looked at assessing the impact of cocoa (so minus the dairy, sugar and large amounts of cocoa fat) - and it still led to significant worsening of acne. See the title below: "Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study Assessing the Effect of Chocolate Consumption in Subjects with a History of Acne Vulgaris".
Why u coverd ur hair???
So if facial exercises are detrimental, why does EMS seem to work at reducing wrinkles?
whats ems
If you have systemic nickel allergy, then YES chocolate (and other high nickel foods) can cause breakouts and rashes
Dairy and candy with corn syrup makes me break out within 8 hours
Hello doctor, have you had botox done?
Nope
im so tired of people blaming me that somehow my actions make my acne. really its entirely hormonal.
I dunno, I get pimples after eating chocolate, but never any other time, so I think there is something to it
Sorry, Doctor but I kindly invite you to touch a ballet dancer' s platysma and an air instrument player' s malaris and explain us where this level of tonification and firmness comes from🤷🏻♀️
🧛🏻♀️🖤
What about acne caused by witchcraft?
I'm 40 and I have freckles all over my cheeks when I'm in the sun
contradicting info about botox and wrinkling look up a vid called What causes Hair Loss and How to Regrow it from What I've Learned
Skin tags are a sign of too much glucose in the blood.
I never had them until I gained weight. Luckily it's not on my face.
Ok, no cancer, after all...
Ok - So, maybe I wasn’t born with my freckles but they appeared at a very young
age/1yrs old! (I am very very freckly!) 😁✨
Quick question? Who's in charge with your thumbnails? Because the last one and this one....girl
Of course the guy who's white as a ghost is telling us that tanning is bad! lol
Sugar definitely does cause acne, and milk often does. Anyone who says otherwise is a dogmatist or ill informed.
The physiological events that happened when refined sugar is consumed will have a deleterious impact on the skin.
Cocoa is somewhat bitter and most people don't really like the taste of cocoa, they like the taste of sugar.
Doctors do have the normal highest IQ of anyone with a business card.... But most doctors are conformist, and few doctors want to come up against the organized resistance like the sugar lobby.
A person who comes up against fantastic monied interests (sugar, drugs, vaccines) may be crushed.
its not 100% for some people it may be inflammatory but for others it doesn’t affect them. that would mean my friend who eats candy and soda everyday should have acne but she doesn’t
According to Consumer Reports there is lead in the chocolate. According to the internet the lead is coming from the cacao seed.
"According to ", eh? That's, uhmm, how can I say it...? 🤦♂️
So I’m just supposed to walk around here looking pale as hell 😫
Like me. Lol
These are really dated myths
So like what, those 20 y.o. "influencers" massaging their faces with stones and doing some ridiculous grins all lie? They don't look young thank to what they do? I am shocked to the core! 😂
Sugar does, not "chocolate" itself
Toothpaste helps my acne
I drink a lot of coffee with a ton of sugar and cream and I never break out. So it depends on you
How about vitamin D? How will we get vitamin d if use sun screen all the time? Also the chemicals in sunscreens make me worry about it.

first
I really respect you but you are not a dermatologist. Please focus on your expertise, we dont need another dr youn
I like your channel but I think you should stick to plastic surgery. That's your specialty and your videos are so good. I don't think you need to dive into dermatology.
Sugar is bad for acne!!! Please dear doctors, consult an endocrinologist, they will be able to explain that blood glucose control diet lowers testosterone which makes acne disappear. Those who have acne in teenage years are very likely to become diabetic later in life. If you dont mind I dont watch this video even though I loved the previous ones! :-)
"It's associated with it, and the ingredients in it do cause it, but it's a myth."
I gave up after chocolate, as you took the dumbest thing posted on the internet today award already.
