I am 65yrs old and my favorite memories of summer as a child is swimming. I loved it then and I love it now. Aqua aerobic classes are sooo great. No sweating and I get a great workout 3 to 4 days a week. PLUS no stress on these old joints. So I can definitely relate to how you feel after a little “aqua” therapy. Great for the body and mind.
I may try aqua aerobics again. I've only done it once when I was in London (where no one knew me)! I remember all the ladies (inc. myself) having a really good laugh, which of course is very good for the endorphins We were doing it to 1970s disco music. 🧜♀️💃 👱♀️❤
Swim Hint: wear ur swimsuit into the shower, take it off in there and wash it with bodywash and then hang or lay to dry when u get out. (I live in coastal New England, and swimwear gets a workout in the ocean water - this technique gets out all the salt, sand, chlorine)
Years ago i got into swimming every other day at the gym; always liked being in the water but was frustrated at my inability to swim fast or confidently, so i pushed myself. It got addictive (in a good way) but a great side effect was that it eliminated my migraines. More than any other exercise, swimming engages so many muscle groups and requires coordination of all of them simultaneously WITH breathing (since water demands an alertness to your access to oxygen). I got to the point of being able to swim a kilometer nonstop, but not solely because my muscles were stronger, but bec i could coordinate all that muscle work with breathing efficiently. That total-body workout is i think why we feel so satiated after a swim.
I loooooove to swim, it is my favorite sport. It helped me get through my dad’s illness and is great stress relief. I always feel amazing after I swim. 😊👏😊
Swimming is my favorite exercise! I almost never exercise on dry land because it isn’t as exhilarating as swimming for me! Plus, swimming is a full body workout. Cardio AND toning all at once.
I mostly use cleasning oil when I use makeup or a more occlusive sunscreen and feel all gunky but during my tretinoin purge (flaking all over) cleansing oil was a GODSEND it gently took off all the flaking pieces so easy!
I remember coming across Dr Dray's channel in November 2018. I remember it well as I was recovering from a nasty chest infection and was laid up in bed. Running out of makeup videos to watch, I started watching your videos. My biggest takeaway from these was to have a simple skincare routine which incorporated sunscreen. I streamlined my products and developed a routine based on your principles etc. Nearly 4 years later I can say with confidence that I have good skin. Thank you.
I used to be against using cleansing oils because I have mainly oily skin. However, ever since I was diagnosed with contact dermatitis I took the plunge and tried out the Curél Makeup Cleansing Oil. I can happily say that it helps to melt tinted sunscreen and I like to finish everything off by using the Cetaphil Gentle Foaming Cleanser. 👍🏼
@@mbritt9738 It is brilliant! I have used it on waterproof mascara before and it helps to melt it. I would recommend following it up with a second cleanser.
@@zebakoli Awesome! Thanks for responding. I have tried melting cleansing balms, but I think some have lemon or something and that dries my eyes out. I'll have to try the Curel! Have a great day!
When I tell you I’ve been WAITING for you to do a review on this brand!! I’ve been rocking with Kose cleansing oils for 3 years now and my skin has never been the same!! The way it removes so much black heads from my face is amazing! I HIGHLY recommend using this after you exfoliate the black heads will literally start coming out like crazy!!!
Really? Cleansing oil removing the blackheads? 😳 I'm still afraid to use Cleansing oils due to the fact it can clog my pores as I don't like to use much foaming cleanser as a 2nd step of cleansing routine.. I thought Inkeylist oat cleansing balm was better
Thank you Dr. Dray for providing the mass with professional advice. A lot of us don't have the capability or common sense to go to a professional and turn to the internet. That's the reality of it. With millions of incorrect advice out there, you are the light that guides us
Double cleanse actually changed my skin game. I love cleansing balms and oils. I don't need any exfoliation. Salycilic acid cleanser does it all. I love Cosrx one.
Still use the Hado Labo cleansing oil Dr. Dray. You got me hooked, and then I use the Hado Labo foaming cleanser. Bye , bye breakouts. My skin is just incredible. Many thanks Dr. Dray.
I wish we could be best friends in real life. You're literally one of the most refreshing people I watch. You're so funny and I love your humor lol Thank you for taking time out of your life to do these videos :) You're appreciated!
Happy Sunday!! Almost 52 and having fun last night was running my dishwasher and hanging pictures lol. Today I will rehang the fallen ones that Command Strips failed 😡
Happy Sunday/Monday Kathy! Before I use Command strips I wipe the wall with rubbing alcohol the night before, then the next day stick on the Command strips and do the hanging. If you are already doing this perhaps they don't work as well in humid climates? 👱♀️❤
@@laurajean7913 not at all, I was very skeptical of oil cleansers because I have acne-prone skin. This cleanser emulsifies very well, and as long as you're doing a two-step cleanse you should be alright!
Hi,I have Same skin type here I just got it two days ago and i it’s actually really good.I have tons of k beauty products that broke and textured my face
those pool birdcages are excellent for keeping the pool clean, and protect the neighborhood wandering children from falling in, too. However they are very expensive. For us, it was worth the additional expense.
They are definitely worth it. Years ago I worked at a building that had almost every type of profession you could think of in it to include teachers for learning disabled in autistic children and other special needs children. The building sat right in the middle of a residential community out in a rural area and one of the kids somehow made his way to the pool and luckily the teacher realize a child was missing and he was in the pool and she jumped in after him but could not swim. She just felt so responsible when I think the homeowner should have been responsible and don't worry, they both survived, others came to the rescue but given the fact that they were located next to this facility and many people had pools in the area, the covers or at least a good fence should have been a requirement.
Dr. Dray, I was just watching one of your videos from 2019 of a trip you and your mother took on Tybee's 2nd birthday. I was wondering how your mom and Tybee was doing. The last I heard you talk about her was about her Cancer. I hope that all is well with her. Could you please update us. We miss seeing her and Tybee.
I agree, it was always nice to see Dr. Dray’s Mom and little Tybee. I’ve noticed several posts where subscribers have asked about Dr. Dray’s Mom, but I have never seen a response. I assume that either her Mom has asked for privacy, or Dr. Dray feels that she wants to abstain from discussing some private aspects of her life for now. Like you, I wish them well. Dr. Dray & her Mom are both lovely people.
As you likely well know: pool exercise is a great workout because of the weightless environment. Also, nothing quite like a change of scene and pace. My facial skin has never been better since switching to the double cleanse method, esp with removing my susnscreen layer, and, as you say, it's a pleasant ritual.
You’re so sweet.. so personable and knowledgeable. Thank you for sharing a bit of your life with us and letting us all know the struggle is real and we’re all in this together. We ❤️ you, Dr. Dray!!
I can relate to feeling good after being in the pool. I'm less awkward in the water. I have just recovered from an abrasion on my cornea. I must have rubbed my eye overnight when there was a foreign object (?) in it...so the ER doctor said. Extremely painful 😪 👱♀️❤
Because of you, I got that Hado Labo cleansing oil and love it! Especially being able to get those refill pouches. No matter what other cleansing oils or balms are being tried, I always come back to it.
Wow the cosari kettle didn't know such kettles existed we have your basic boil kettles mainly in the UK mine cost £5 tesco basic it's now 6 years old and going strong if I want it to boil for longer than the auto cut off, I just lift the lid a bit and it boils and boils 🇬🇧❤️
I LOVE the Kose Softymo deep cleansing oil, and prefer it a lot over the Kose Softymo speedy cleansing oil. They both do a comparable, fantastic job removing sunscreen and makeup, but the speedy oil irritates my eyes. I do realize not everyone opens their eyes during an oil cleanse, but I do!! It's satisfying, but I can also focus on drier areas of skin to exfoliate. The deep cleansing oil can get directly in my eyes with no irritation. The AOA studio skin with green tea and vit E cleansing balm is my second favorite (Kose deep clean is #1), it feels so nice, cleans well, and doesn't cause eye irritation either. I use the speedy oil on my body just to use it up because it's still fantastic, I just won't bother with the irritation. It's lasted a long time just using on arms and legs! It's good for shaving, though I prefer a very specific Tree Hut shave oil. All of these cleansing oils are top notch and very affordable! I don't know how I ever managed without a double cleanse (lol I actually just used makeup remover/micellar water to remove SPF and makeup prior) because it is such a small, but hugely enjoyable and relaxing part of my daily routine. It keeps my pores and skin so clean, but the massage and skin flake removal is hard to beat for self-care!
Hii Dr. Andrea, do try eating Jackfruit once, it tastes heavenly! It's a very common fruit in Bengal, India (that's where I live) and it's my favourite! Plus it has great nutritional benefits! 😊❤
You are so right about swimming and fun. My older sister never learned to swim and getting in a pool isn't fun for her. I'm not a strong swimmer but can definitely get it done and made sure my daughter learned to swim beginning as a toddler. If you grow up in a place where it's cold a lot and pools are scarce learning to swim isn't a given.
@@Maialeen Experience has convinced me. I used to like the Sephora cleansing oil, which seems to be discontinued, but when I tried Hadalabo for the first time I realized it's superior in consistency and emulsifies much more readily. I also tried The INKEY List Oat Cleansing Balm, which I despise, and the Albolene makeup remover. Both leave a greasy feeling on the skin, even with the double cleanse method it's hard to remove them.
Hi Andrea, longtime subscriber here. I used to watch your videos the minute they were uploaded but it wasn’t healthy as I live in Australia! Now I enjoy them during normal hours!
Happy Sunday the pool swim looked very relaxing 😎 I am using the Kose cleansing oil and really liking which spreads very easily on the face and then using Vanicream gentle facial cleanser. I feel the same by the time we deal with daily chores it’s hard to have fun definitely any thing to help have a better nights sleep 😴 used to be so easy to sleep the whole night now not so much! Great viewing Dr D 🐶
I have terribly clogged pores, like, if I want to I can squeeze a pore and a little rock comes out of it. All over my inner-cheek area. I recently learned that apparently cleansing OILS are what help you get this stuff out of your pores! I wish I knew this ages ago.
I used to live in Texas and now I’m in Florida with a screened-in pool. I think the reason for no screen cages in Texas has to do with the weather. It is hotter and more prone to hail and tornados in much of Texas.
Your hair is AMAZING!! so smooth, voluminous and shiny! Other than skincare, I also follow you for coffee suggestions. I bought a french press after seeing you use it. I love it! 😄
On the nights i don’t put cerave healing ointment or Nivea cream on my face… it’s just not the same. I wake up with dry skin and it’s something I only discovered after I began occluding my face at night.
I recently picked up the Curel makeup removing oil. We’ll see after a trial, but so far it seems to leave my skin very moisturized after step two of my cleanse. My mature skin is still acne prone. I’m just hopeful it doesn’t cause a flare. I had no idea Curel was actually a Japanese brand with a full line of skincare for dry, sensitive skin. Thanks for the video Doc! ❤
Revlon has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This means they will reorganize their debts; commonly referred to as “debtor in possession.” They are trying to remain a viable company. So that’s good!
I have been watching your videos for ever and I never get tired of the info, or what you are 'teaching' us each week! I loved the pool clip ~ we do have a pool also... I am not in Houston, but about an hour and a half from there, and we don't cover them over here either!! I have often wondered as well, why Floridians do and we don't. I do enjoy having a pool sooooo much and it is a great stress reliever for me~ It has been a tremendous blessing to have. And yes, it is PITIFUL that we have to work so hard to schedule in a little fun! You are so right~ by the time we have time for it we are getting ready for bed!! Have a great week and keep "em coming!
Walgreens has a "Healing Ointment" in a tube that is labeled fragrance free with ceramides and hyaluronic acid, and it looks like a dupe for the Cerave Healing Ointment. I haven't tried it, but the ingredients look similar to Cerave's but the order is just moved around a bit.
Boy your hair is gorgeous. It’s so hot and humid in Florida that I think my sunscreen is the cause of some milia. What would you recommend as I have to slather it on as I’m very fair with sun damage. There are many uncovered pools here in Florida too which I find crazy cause between frogs lizards gators palmettos which are bugs as big as airplanes no way I’d have an open pool
Happy Sunday Dr Dray, your videos are really fun to watch every morning! Giving you credit for getting me on the Cerave Healing ointment game 💙💛 been mostly using it all over my face ( I have pretty dry skin especially around the eyes) I’m about to be finishing a big tub I’ve purchased about a year ago and using the squeeze bottle one when traveling. Really changed how tight/dry my skin was overall, and every morning skin always looks more radiant and plump 💙💛
Just started my 2nd bottle of softymo speedy oil. Tried 2 other oils and I think they are fine. But this one gets my pores cleaner I think. I can see the difference before and after each cleanse. Also started to use a hydrating toner before my face dries and it's been life changing. Haha.
I wish you were close by. My sons could totally be your swim instructor. They used to be competitive swimmers. and they are swim coaches and instructors on the side! I use Paula's Choice cleansing balm and works well for me! Enjoy your day!
Revlon has some great stuff, but their powder blush made my cheeks literally slough off in a rash type form. It was maybe 18 years ago, I found out whilst running and the sweat began to burn like hell on my cheeks!
Long, long ago, revlon had a liquid blush that looked so great, but totally ruined the skin on my cheeks. I still have little scarred areas that haven’t gone away with any treatment. Regret!
@@ediedbdbd7902 man! Did you ever find out what ingredient did that to you!? That's so terrible, I'm so sorry that happened to you. I do remember loving the color as well, but that stuff was like acid on the skin and it scared me away from then for a long time.
I'm so glad you're having fun & I agree with you! THANK YOU for the AmLactin recommendation! I've been using the 15% lactic acid one everyday for 2 weeks and oof, it's amazing on my body! Instantly softens and moisturizes. I'm pretty sure my whole face & body routine is because of you lol it works! For cleansing oils I love Purito's From Green then I follow with cetaphil's gentle skin (new formula), amazing for my eczema and redness prone skin
Okay Dr. Dray... I have a confession. I HATE most Neutrogena products. They usually burn my skin BUT.... I finally tried the Hydro boost cleansing gel (fragrance free) because I've seen you use it for so long..... And i have to say that I am really impressed! It didn't burn and did a pretty decent job at getting all the oil, dirt, and most makeup off! Thanks Dr. Dray! Be safe!
Good morning Dr Dray and chat have a blessed Sunday. Woohoo I have an empty the first in a long time and it’s a big one. CaraVe nourishing ointment in the tub and it’s not even winter.
I haven't tried the Hada Labo cleansing oil but it sounds like one I'd like to try. Simple brand had a cleansing oil that I tried several years ago and I really liked it but it disappeared. 🤷 I still enjoy the Inkey List cleansing balm. Happy Sunday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a lovely evening. 💞
I’ve been using the Hada labo oil cleanser ever since I’ve seen u recc it on your channel, it’s honestly the best thing I’ve ever gotten for my skin, personally I feel like I can just oil cleanse without using a proper cleanser. That thing is magic 😭
For all you UK people homebargains do a salisytic acid and lactic acid clay foaming cleanser by creighton i think I paid £1.99 its not expensive it's like a clay mask you put it on dry skin then wet and lather I also use it on my nails and I put it on my toe nails and then put my feet in a foot mask 🙏🇬🇧❤️
I have some of the Creighton's skincare products, including their (Neutrogena Hydro Boost dupe) day and night hyaluronic cream and their salicylic acid toner. It is very reasonably priced. It is stocked in Kmart Australia. I actually made up some gift baskets using their products last Christmas and added a sleep mask, scented candle etc. They turned out really well and were very well received. 👱♀️❤
I just about to buy the clay foaming cleanser on your recommendation Michelle. It's also on "clearance" for just AU$4! Maybe I should stock up for Xmas again? 👱♀️❤
Very good range of products. I used the Creightons Salicylic acid lotion. It is amazing. For some reason i can't find it anymore in the shops but it really worked fine.
Going thru the car wash reminds me of the first time I had our dog w/me when I went thru a car wash. Her reaction was funny ! Her head sort of went back like she'd been struck when the water & "mop" hit the windshield. She had such a surprised expression on her face! Like "Whoa ! What is THAT??!!" 😄😄🐶 I had to pause the video at 9:14. Andrea was in the pool. It's such a nice "still" picture of her ! It looked so refreshing & relaxing when you were in the pool & yes, I can relate to what you were saying about how it makes you feel. Oh my gosh, I can totally relate about eyelashes! I love how you put it, tho, Andrea....they retalliate! Eyelashes get in my eyes way too often. So annoying !
Yes yes!! So great to take advantage of the pool! I’ve noticed you look more relaxed when you do, also you get very talkative and I like it! Always like hearing what you have to say! I recently got the CeraVa Healing Ointment. I’m kind of liking it so far. Deff a great try for anyone thinking of grabbing it. Deff been body slugging with it. Reminds me, I need to find a razor that’s good for shaving arms and legs. Still not satisfied with the one I have. Really been thinking about that retinol video. Makes me want to try more stuff that is out there. Love ya Dr Dray!!!
So, those bird-cage like things to cover the pools. In Florida it rarely snows, and when it does it's not a large amount. However, when it does snow in Huston, it can be pretty heavy amounts and the roofs of those cages just don't hold up under the weight of the snow. They collapse. So, while it would be nice, they aren't practical in a place with any amount of snowfall. This is what I was told when I asked about having one installed here in the mid-west.
Here in California I think covered pools wouldn’t be as popular to to sun bathing, I used to do it lol. Now in my 40s I swim in the evenings and it’s lovely
Don't you just love her. She has literally changed my life and my skin through her videos.

Jackfruit tacos are good , cooked with cilantro and onion
You are so right about swimming and fun. My older sister never learned to swim and getting in a pool isn't fun for her. I'm not a strong swimmer but can definitely get it done and made sure my daughter learned to swim beginning as a toddler. If you grow up in a place where it's cold a lot and pools are scarce learning to swim isn't a given.
Once I started using Asian cleansing oils, everything else underwhelmed me. They are that good.
Can you tell me which ones you use? Did you purchase on Amazon? Will the oil remove mineral sunscreen?
That's hilarious. I think that's just you convincing yourself for some bizarre reason.
@@chincaglieria i am using mineral sunscreen and I only use softymo at the end of the day and its really good.
@@Maialeen Experience has convinced me. I used to like the Sephora cleansing oil, which seems to be discontinued, but when I tried Hadalabo for the first time I realized it's superior in consistency and emulsifies much more readily. I also tried The INKEY List Oat Cleansing Balm, which I despise, and the Albolene makeup remover. Both leave a greasy feeling on the skin, even with the double cleanse method it's hard to remove them.
@@JeanC... thank you
This is going to be fun! Happy Sunday!💕💕you brighten everyone’s day, including mine!

Hi Andrea, longtime subscriber here. I used to watch your videos the minute they were uploaded but it wasn’t healthy as I live in Australia! Now I enjoy them during normal hours!
Happy Sunday the pool swim looked very relaxing 😎 I am using the Kose cleansing oil and really liking which spreads very easily on the face and then using Vanicream gentle facial cleanser. I feel the same by the time we deal with daily chores it’s hard to have fun definitely any thing to help have a better nights sleep 😴 used to be so easy to sleep the whole night now not so much! Great viewing Dr D 🐶
You are so right about the adult fun factor, at this time in my life it is rare.. I need a “me vacation”, all alone just doing what I want.
I have terribly clogged pores, like, if I want to I can squeeze a pore and a little rock comes out of it. All over my inner-cheek area. I recently learned that apparently cleansing OILS are what help you get this stuff out of your pores! I wish I knew this ages ago.
Have a beautiful Sunday Dr Dray and peeps ❤️ ❤️🌞☕🍵💐
love the video! Haven't seen any vlogs with your mom lately, how is she doing? Love the vlogs with you and your mom....so sweet!
4:15 this music 🎶🎼 you were putting had me moving and grooving 🤸🏻🏃dancing as if I was playing a mortal Kombat game on the 90s!!!
I used to live in Texas and now I’m in Florida with a screened-in pool. I think the reason for no screen cages in Texas has to do with the weather. It is hotter and more prone to hail and tornados in much of Texas.
We have hurricanes. I would never cover my pool bc of that.
Your hair is AMAZING!! so smooth, voluminous and shiny! Other than skincare, I also follow you for coffee suggestions. I bought a french press after seeing you use it. I love it! 😄
She’s the reason I buy function of beauty for my hair as well as Athletic Greens lol
@@MiaKatharine I am thinking of buying those too. And the Pique tea. 😁
Dr. Dray, I get you about the "having fun" concept...completely agree. 😒
I make mundane things fun. We only get one life and I try not to take that for granted.
That is the right attitude 👍🏼
Such a fun video and life should be fun, it’s all about perspective. Have an awesome week Dr Dray and everyone in general 🏊♀️🏊♂️🏊
Car washes are the equivalent of Disney rides for me
I started watching Dr. Dray a couple of years ago. I NEVER miss her blogs. She is perfect in every way.
On the nights i don’t put cerave healing ointment or Nivea cream on my face… it’s just not the same. I wake up with dry skin and it’s something I only discovered after I began occluding my face at night.
Nivea creates black heads on my skin.
I recently picked up the Curel makeup removing oil. We’ll see after a trial, but so far it seems to leave my skin very moisturized after step two of my cleanse. My mature skin is still acne prone. I’m just hopeful it doesn’t cause a flare. I had no idea Curel was actually a Japanese brand with a full line of skincare for dry, sensitive skin. Thanks for the video Doc! ❤
Revlon has filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This means they will reorganize their debts; commonly referred to as “debtor in possession.” They are trying to remain a viable company. So that’s good!
The pool area at your building is lovely. Happy Sunday!
Your hair is soo prettyy
Double cleansing saved my skin, thanks to you Dr. Dray!! The iunik calendula cleansing oil is the best one i've tried, it's amazing 🙌
I have been watching your videos for ever and I never get tired of the info, or what you are 'teaching' us each week! I loved the pool clip ~ we do have a pool also... I am not in Houston, but about an hour and a half from there, and we don't cover them over here either!! I have often wondered as well, why Floridians do and we don't. I do enjoy having a pool sooooo much and it is a great stress reliever for me~ It has been a tremendous blessing to have. And yes, it is PITIFUL that we have to work so hard to schedule in a little fun! You are so right~ by the time we have time for it we are getting ready for bed!! Have a great week and keep "em coming!
I just noticed how much thicker your hair has become. It looks so good!
I'm using the Hada Labo cleansing oil too! Works great on my sensitive skin
Walgreens has a "Healing Ointment" in a tube that is labeled fragrance free with ceramides and hyaluronic acid, and it looks like a dupe for the Cerave Healing Ointment. I haven't tried it, but the ingredients look similar to Cerave's but the order is just moved around a bit.
Boy your hair is gorgeous. It’s so hot and humid in Florida that I think my sunscreen is the cause of some milia. What would you recommend as I have to slather it on as I’m very fair with sun damage. There are many uncovered pools here in Florida too which I find crazy cause between frogs lizards gators palmettos which are bugs as big as airplanes no way I’d have an open pool
Happy Sunday Dr Dray, your videos are really fun to watch every morning! Giving you credit for getting me on the Cerave Healing ointment game 💙💛 been mostly using it all over my face ( I have pretty dry skin especially around the eyes) I’m about to be finishing a big tub I’ve purchased about a year ago and using the squeeze bottle one when traveling. Really changed how tight/dry my skin was overall, and every morning skin always looks more radiant and plump 💙💛
"Fun... a foreign concept when you're an adult " so true lol
i loved the rave music going through the car wash lmao gave me life for a moment
Hello Dr Dray and everyone! Hope you are all having a great Sunday!🌻🌻😊
Greetings Sable 711 hope u r well n Happy Sunday😀👍💜….
👱♀️❤
Thank you that’s sweet! Enjoy the day! ☀️💐👍🏻
Your hair looks so good when you blow it straight!
I always admire how clean and clutter free your countertops are. 😍🥰
Same !!
Happy Sunday Dr Dray and everyone 🌸
Just simply love your vlog! So relaxing and like listening to a friend! More vlogs pls 😍😍😍 thank you for yet another great video !
Cool music in car wash feels like at a night club !
Just started my 2nd bottle of softymo speedy oil. Tried 2 other oils and I think they are fine. But this one gets my pores cleaner I think. I can see the difference before and after each cleanse. Also started to use a hydrating toner before my face dries and it's been life changing. Haha.
I wish you were close by. My sons could totally be your swim instructor. They used to be competitive swimmers. and they are swim coaches and instructors on the side! I use Paula's Choice cleansing balm and works well for me! Enjoy your day!
I'm always concerned with the cleansing oils clogging the plumbing/drains. Has anyone had issues with that?
Her hair is soo dreamy 🥰
Revlon has some great stuff, but their powder blush made my cheeks literally slough off in a rash type form. It was maybe 18 years ago, I found out whilst running and the sweat began to burn like hell on my cheeks!
Long, long ago, revlon had a liquid blush that looked so great, but totally ruined the skin on my cheeks. I still have little scarred areas that haven’t gone away with any treatment. Regret!
@@ediedbdbd7902 man! Did you ever find out what ingredient did that to you!? That's so terrible, I'm so sorry that happened to you. I do remember loving the color as well, but that stuff was like acid on the skin and it scared me away from then for a long time.
Happy Sunday, Dr. Dray 🌞 🧴
👱♀️❤
Happy Sunday
I love what you said about having fun, when you are a child than as an adult, that is so true.
Fun fact:: Aquation is made in the US and is Women owned. I use the hyaluronic acid version & love it.
I'm so glad you're having fun & I agree with you! THANK YOU for the AmLactin recommendation! I've been using the 15% lactic acid one everyday for 2 weeks and oof, it's amazing on my body! Instantly softens and moisturizes. I'm pretty sure my whole face & body routine is because of you lol it works! For cleansing oils I love Purito's From Green then I follow with cetaphil's gentle skin (new formula), amazing for my eczema and redness prone skin
Okay Dr. Dray... I have a confession.
I HATE most Neutrogena products. They usually burn my skin BUT.... I finally tried the Hydro boost cleansing gel (fragrance free) because I've seen you use it for so long..... And i have to say that I am really impressed! It didn't burn and did a pretty decent job at getting all the oil, dirt, and most makeup off! Thanks Dr. Dray! Be safe!
Love the Hadalabo oil cleanser but sometimes it's hard to find. Maybe next time I'll try the Kose one.
Yes it is hard to find a couple of my friends went to Japan and they could find it, even though there was a lot of Hadalabo products.
would love an explanation of nitrocellulose and it's role in nail polish!
The rain has implication for…the grass? No wonder you love Houston.
The pool gives me a burst of energy.
Good morning Dr Dray and chat have a blessed Sunday. Woohoo I have an empty the first in a long time and it’s a big one. CaraVe nourishing ointment in the tub and it’s not even winter.
Have an awesome Sunday guys xo

Happy Sunday

I haven't tried the Hada Labo cleansing oil but it sounds like one I'd like to try. Simple brand had a cleansing oil that I tried several years ago and I really liked it but it disappeared. 🤷 I still enjoy the Inkey List cleansing balm. Happy Sunday, Dr Dray! I hope you have a lovely evening. 💞
It's my favorite and I've been using it for years, ever since she first started talking about it. I order it about five at a time from Amazon.
I’ve been using the Hada labo oil cleanser ever since I’ve seen u recc it on your channel, it’s honestly the best thing I’ve ever gotten for my skin, personally I feel like I can just oil cleanse without using a proper cleanser. That thing is magic 😭
Happy Sunday!
Happy Sunday
The rave car wash 🤣 why did it end right before the drop?! Lol love this Dr. Dray
She’s the best -she’s beautiful,smart ,and funny! I love her!
Yeayy back to Hadalabo! Thank you for introducing this product years ago. I am soooo in love!
For all you UK people homebargains do a salisytic acid and lactic acid clay foaming cleanser by creighton i think I paid £1.99 its not expensive it's like a clay mask you put it on dry skin then wet and lather I also use it on my nails and I put it on my toe nails and then put my feet in a foot mask 🙏🇬🇧❤️
I have some of the Creighton's skincare products, including their (Neutrogena Hydro Boost dupe) day and night hyaluronic cream and their salicylic acid toner. It is very reasonably priced.
It is stocked in Kmart Australia. I actually made up some gift baskets using their products last Christmas and added a sleep mask, scented candle etc. They turned out really well and were very well received.
👱♀️❤
👍🏼
@@nadab4750 fabulous gifting ideas
I just about to buy the clay foaming cleanser on your recommendation Michelle. It's also on "clearance" for just AU$4! Maybe I should stock up for Xmas again?
👱♀️❤
Very good range of products. I used the Creightons Salicylic acid lotion. It is amazing. For some reason i can't find it anymore in the shops but it really worked fine.
Going thru the car wash reminds me of the first time I had our dog w/me when I went thru a car wash. Her reaction was funny ! Her head sort of went back like she'd been struck when the water & "mop" hit the windshield. She had such a surprised expression on her face! Like "Whoa ! What is THAT??!!" 😄😄🐶
I had to pause the video at 9:14. Andrea was in the pool. It's such a nice "still" picture of her !
It looked so refreshing & relaxing when you were in the pool & yes, I can relate to what you were saying about how it makes you feel.
Oh my gosh, I can totally relate about eyelashes! I love how you put it, tho, Andrea....they retalliate! Eyelashes get in my eyes way too often. So annoying !
Yes yes!! So great to take advantage of the pool! I’ve noticed you look more relaxed when you do, also you get very talkative and I like it! Always like hearing what you have to say!
I recently got the CeraVa Healing Ointment. I’m kind of liking it so far. Deff a great try for anyone thinking of grabbing it. Deff been body slugging with it.
Reminds me, I need to find a razor that’s good for shaving arms and legs. Still not satisfied with the one I have. Really been thinking about that retinol video. Makes me want to try more stuff that is out there.
Love ya Dr Dray!!!
So, those bird-cage like things to cover the pools. In Florida it rarely snows, and when it does it's not a large amount. However, when it does snow in Huston, it can be pretty heavy amounts and the roofs of those cages just don't hold up under the weight of the snow. They collapse. So, while it would be nice, they aren't practical in a place with any amount of snowfall. This is what I was told when I asked about having one installed here in the mid-west.
Happy Sunday, Dr. Dray 🤍🌸☀️🏝

Happy Sunday
Here in California I think covered pools wouldn’t be as popular to to sun bathing, I used to do it lol. Now in my 40s I swim in the evenings and it’s lovely
Yes, where I live (Sacramento) is getting hotter and drier every year. My native Seattle is getting warmer & wetter each year. Implications, for sure.
I’m in sacramento too. 100 plus weather 😅
Nice vlog!
