I've been applying Cerave SA Cream for rough and bumpy skin to my legs every night to treat and prevent ingrown hairs, and it's worked wonders. I shave regularly, and it's completely gotten rid my ingrown's and new ones haven't come back. Highly recommend.
helpfulnatural I remember Dr.Dray saying not to apply it on wet skin like other lotions! So I guess either apply a normal lotion first and let it dry, then apply the SA cream, or dry your legs off and then apply the SA cream.
@@SarahhhBeth I apply a regular lotion right after i get out of the shower, let it dry completely then apply the CeraVe SA cream to my legs. It has done wonders for me aswell

IDK how often you read comments on old videos, but I wanted to tell you that, for a long time I have been a sweaty and somewhat stinky man and using panOxyl 4% wash as a deodorant the last few weeks has literally changed my life. I started down a youtube-skincare rabbithole because I moved to Phoenix and decided it was probably worth finding a daily use sunscreen, and running into your videos has been a huge blessing. I honestly could never afford to see a dermatologist, And even if I did, I wouldn't be able to spend hours picking their brain for relevant tidbits the way we can here. Thank you so much for freely sharing the knowledge and research you do, Dr. Dray!
SAME! I'm in Lake Havasu, it's so stupid hot and I was always a gross mess. I can't believe how much my pits changed just from the Panoxyl. Lol I'm grateful as all get out!
Dr Dray, you became the one and only youtuber I keep watching religiously ❤️ I trust your advices 💯%. Keep safe ❤️ Hi from Georgia (Country not the state) 🙂
The best success I've had is with using an epilator. I'm in my late 60's and have only ever had a small amount of fine body hair (at this age even less now) and the epilatore works great and is something I need to use fairly infrequently for my legs/underarms and only slight more often on my upper lip.
Ah why do I always get the impression that it hurts more than waxing? 😅😂 I can tolerate waxing honestly pretty good, it’s mostly the upper back portion of the near bum area that always gets me feeling more pressured pain (feels like nails being clawed in), other than that though, I can tolerate it pretty well. When I hear about epilators, I think it’d be okay if it’s like microdermabrasion devices lol or possibly like waxing full legs but it sounds more painful to me 😂 How’d you say it is? *I do use eyebrow tweezing… So maybe it’s like that, I feel. I might reconsider epilators. It just sounds painful.
Another way I avoid irritation from shaving is via the type of razor I use. I ditched my cartridge Venus years ago and use a restored antique straight razor, or a safety razor depending on the day. A single very sharp blade requires fewer passes, and leaves a smoother finish. The straight razor also has no waste!
@helena clover There are lots of people restoring razors you can find online (some on Etsy, whipped dog, Griffith shaving, etc). More expensive upfront than a modern razor, but less expensive overall, and better quality. My oldest razor (I have a collection lol) is mid to late 1800's, and it's a beast that just annihilates hair. There is learning curve, because both straight and safety razors are heavier and heckin sharp, but I watched videos, went slow, and I gained my confidence fairly quickly. Now I find it easy. I will say it's never quite as fast as using a Venus razor, but the results are better and last longer. Oh, also I'm a lady so I can only speak to shaving my legs and such, not the face! My boyfriend uses a safety razor for his face, and he loves it.
So informative!! Thank you Dr. Dray!! Hair removal procedures, especially shaving, are often a debatable topic, so thank you for clearing it out for us!!
One more hair removal method is the use of an epilator device. I noticed it's really not that popular in the US, but it's quite common in Europe. It looks like an electric shaver, but the head has rotating discs (sometimes it's a different system) that pull the hair out. Basically it's tweezing a large surface all at once. I find that it makes me prone to ingrown hair on my legs, but not on other areas for some reason. I use it under my arms. I only have to do it about once a week. It's painful (enough that I don't use it in the bikini area) but not terribly so. I would say less than waxing.
Thank you for an informative, no-nonsense video. This is the only place where I trust the advice. Ive been watching since you had 78K subscribers! You rock, Dr. Dray
Hi! I got baby sunscreen to try on my face today. I love it. It has a pale cast but I’m pale so it’s fine for me. I like that it doesn’t burn my eyes and I like the way it provides a bit of coverage. Thank you for the tip!!!
I shaved my face one time and I had the worst breakout of my life. I used a brand new razor. It took me a year and several trips to the dermatologist to get my skin neck to normal and I still have scars. I have never ever had acne before. I feel traumatized even thinking about it now. 😭
I had electrolysis on my eyebrows and it’s not terribly painful but you do feel a tiny pin prick on every hair so some people can only tolerate short sessions. I’m very happy I did it and the hairs have not grown back (11 years later).
Hi Andrea, You said "the hair resumes its growth" but I heard "the hair re-zooms its growth". I had a personal chuckle, too many on-line meetings lately. Most of us don't want the hair growth to resume and especially not to re-zoom! Thanks so much for all your very helpful videos.
I am an Electrologist in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia with 20 years of experience, lately, I've been noticing the laser hair removal is activating more growth on the facial hair, (mostly Indian and Malay women, Skin Fitzpatrick 4 onwards) anything fairer has better results.
I just have searched about this topic yesterday! I am following your channel from Middle East and Your videos are so much helpful and improves lifestyle. Thank you so much Dr. Dray
My great grandmother was a nurse that specialized in electrolysis. The information Dr.Dray provides was interesting, at finding out what my great grandmother actually provided for her patients, especially since at the time it was the early 1920’s!
Cost is usually by the minute, at least in Canada. Yes it is painful. I hydrate my skin a lot the night before. I also use a thick layer of Vaseline the night before and several days after. It helps it heal. Even though it is painful and you get scabbing for a short period of time, as long as your electrologist is a good one, the results are worth the pain. (I am getting cheeks, chin and a bit of neck). I highly recommend if you can deal with the short lived pain and make sure you use Vaseline. Also numbing cream made me more sensitive but it works for others. Get a trial session!
I just last week used wax strips (cold) on my face, for the first time ever. Worked beautifully, but 2 days later, I had 3 enormous pimples on my chin and cheeks and several small pustules as well. Right before going on holiday. NEVER AGAIN 🤬
Be very careful with epilators. It’s not the right method for everyone. It gave me countless ingrown hairs that were quite severe, and many of them grew in a very abnormal way as in growing parallel to my arms. I had never experienced that before. It took several months for the ingrown hairs to heal, at which point I then dealt with the hyperpigmentation. I had to wear long sleeves for 2 summers. It was a nightmare. Other people have experienced this as well. Search it on TH-cam.
I’m curious why you didn’t mention electric shavers and depilatories? Additionally, feedback on razors that would be more beneficial (or otherwise to skin); for example safety razors vs disposables vs reusable handles w/ blades, as well as whether there’s any benefit to how many blades are better. Sorry I’m commenting so late after this video posting. Thanks for all your hard work and your dedication to this channel!

I am a Fitzpatrick 4 and I have had laser hair removal and it was fantastic. They used a YAG laser which they said was preferable for darker skin tones.
Hello Dr. Dray. Thanx for the great info. I have a question. I've been using Clarins Double Serum for ages..but now I'm pregnant and I would really like to know if it is safe to use while being pregnant. It's the only serum that didn't break me out
you are a blessing to us! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Could you do a video on those facial massages that claim to reduce wrinkles if you just do certain massages for example around your laugh lines. There's so many on TH-cam and and wondering if it really claims to be what they say
Love learning from you everyday! Would it be possible to have a dedicated video of sunscreen recommendations for medium to dark skin types? Or does anyone here recommend a video she’s already made that addresses this?
I have PCOS which causes hair on my face and chest. Because I’m black, the hair is dark and coarse a d it causes ingrowns and hyperpigmentation no matter how I remove it. The only safe thing I can do is to bleach the hair, and thankfully I’m fair enough that this makes the hair mostly invisible against my skin, but it grows so fast that I have to do it often. I really do need an effective solution, because this has taken a toll on my self esteem for over a decade now.
Dewi Lew: I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Can you consult with a board-certified dermatologist that’s experienced treating skin of color? They may be able to offer you the best advice. 😊
Happy Tuesday! THanks for all your amazing videos and information you put out there for free. You've really transformed my skin and beliefs on skincare.
Soft wax adheres to the skin and should only go over no more than once. Hard wax shrink wraps around the hairs and not the skin. Meaning it's less harsh on the skin and you can go over the same spot multiple times if need be. But if you have a good wax and technique you won't have to.
Thank you for explaining this Pro beautician and barber here, I've been shaving my arms and my upper lip for 15 years 🤣 yes I'm a female Barber and I do shave my face it is not grown back thicker it is not grown back more ❤️❤️❤️ thank you thank you for explaining this maybe people will listen now 🤣💕✌🏼💈✂️

I had over 2 years worth of treatments of laser hair removal. I spent about a thousand dollars. It helped to slow and lighten my hair but a few months after ending the treatment, the hair growth and dark color came back. I went back to the doctors office and they said laser hair removal won’t help me because I have a hormone issue. So I guess I’m just stuck with facial hair for life. 😭

I've had electroepilation for over a year... I think it depends on the individual, the body region, the hair itself etc. etc. If you assume that there is always only 10-20% of the hair on the surface and even with electro-epilation you do not always destroy the hair immediately, you have to expect that it can take a very long time. I have it done on three regions. I am at about 34 hours = 3.017,50 € already. xD

Thank you so much for this helpful video. I have literally used all of these hair removal methods. I have PCOS and in Aus every beauty salon has laser hair removal and I would of had over 30 treatments on my face and body with barely any results. I have just started electrolysis on my face but then lockdown happened and so I haven’t gotten it all done. But fingers crossed it works.
I am surprised you haven't mentioned how dermaplaning has been used on dry skin of the face to remove the top dead layer of skin as well. I had an aesthetician tell me this helps so I would love your opinion on it and if you recommend this! So many new dermaplane razors are on the market in 2021 so would appreciate any updates!!!
Hey Dr Dray , can you please do a separate video on electrolysis for unwanted facial hair like on the upper lip, chin and sides of the face? Also the correct regimen to follow after electrolysis of facial hair and what skincare products to use after the electrolysis treatment on the face to avoid formation of scabs? What would be the best to use?AloeVera gel, CeraVe, Aquaphor or Vaseline? Really looking forward to your response or a video. TIA.
Enjoyed This Video Sooo Much Dr. Dray!! Very Interesting Topic!! Thank You for a Perfect Video as Always!! Sending Much Love and Hugs!! Always!! xoxoxo
Thanks Dr. Dray! I've tried waxing, threading, shaving, derma planing, sugaring, depilatory cream and the Jolen Creme Bleach Lightener (brows and upper lip). My favorite method was waxing, but it always made my skin really irritated. The worst was the depilatory cream as it made my upper lip look puckered! 😲🤣 A few years ago I started noticing peach fuzz, so I decided to try shaving. I just use a mild facial cleanser and a disposable razor. The results last about a month, and you're right, the hair doesn't grow back faster or thicker. It's cheap, not irritating and quick. I just pluck the few brow hairs that grow out of bounds.
I have white skin (Type 2) , dark brown hair and I have had over 30 IPL sessions to remove my facial hair. The type 2 skin with dark thick hair (curly hair)combo should make me the ideal candidate for hair removal via IPL. Each time I had IPL, however, my hair grew thicker and more visible and in areas I did not previously have it. The hair would gradually disappear in the first 2 weeks (it would fall), only to regrow by week 4-5, stronger and more stubborn than ever. I have of course - for around 3 weeks a fine clean face, and then, boom, by week 4 or 5 I am a hairy monster again. If at first, before starting IPL treatments, I had fine hair on my face (especially my chin and mustache area) now I have what can be called "a beard" with many many coarse black hairs. I now have black hair follicles on my cheeks (which never existed previously to IPL) and as said before a lot more follicles in my problem areas. I believe that is because before each IPL treatment, they shaved off all my face and now I am having hairs also on my cheeks and under my lip. I have also been told to never wax or use creams to shave my hair in between sessions as it would not allow for the hair to grow for the next session in order for the light impulse to effectively kill the follicle. I have shaved my chin area multiple times in between sessions (for several years already, starting with week 4 after an IPL treatment, I shave my chin hairs daily or every 2 days for around 1 or 2 weeks) and it is becoming thicker and thicker in spite of all monthly IPL treatments (5-6 weeks apart). As a proof that regular shaving caused increased thickness, I can compare with my mustache area, which now is a lot less noticeable but which was shaved only during my IPL sessions, but not by me daily in between IPL sessions. In my case, It was not a myth that shaving (before applying IPL and in between sessions) lead to thicker hairs and I am getting desperate to remove my many many chin hairs . I have spend several thousands of dollars on my facial hair removal, only to have it grow thicker, coarser and darker. The shaving increasing thickness is not a myth. Also, as further proof, since my teenage years I have been shaving the fine hair on my forearms and with frequent shaving it has grown a lot darker in colour and a lot thicker and coarser. Comparing with my upper part of the arms which haven't been shaved, the difference is like night and day.
So I can use a razorrr yessss! Thank you Fr.dray! I stopped shaving for a month after a ethician here on yogurt said shaving is so bad and cause micro tears which makes makeup go inside then cause acne
Thank you so much Dr.Dray for really useful information❤️, my face and body skin get deadly itchy when I shaved or waxed , is there any way to get rid of itchy sensations?

Your comment about threading making your nose and eyes water..whenever I tweeze my eyebrows , it makes me sneeze. I have a lot of allergy and sinus issues and always wondered what was happening.
Oh my gosh the lizard mating/fighting commentary made me lol, I almost choked on my coffee 😂😂😂😂😂
Wow! Love how ur skin is looking so moisturizer and dewy! How??? ❤️
Please make a video on your experience with eczema and how long did flare up last. Your words are more comforting than anyone else's
She has eczema? I didn't know that. Could you please tell me the video where she shared about her eczema journey?
@@SnowWhite-ul6qb She mentioned in a video while talking about vanicream that it helped her with eczema. But that was about it, she didn't really tell more about experience and hence my comment :)
Happy Tuesday Dr Dray and everyone. You always have such timely videos. Great information have a fantastic day love to mom and Tybee 💖💖🤗🤗
Thank You Sooo Much Sweet Friend!! Happy Tuesday!! I Hope You're Having a Super Beautiful Day!! Please You and Yours Stay Safe and Well!! Always and Always!! xoxoxox
@@jackiemarsh2470 thanks dear friend hope you have a lovely Tuesday and evening sty safe always !
I use an Epilator if not waxing, is fast and pulls the hair out so stays clean longer.
Do use an epilator on your face? If so, what kind?
@@verbandverse There are epilators specifically made for the face area.
Which brand of epilators you use plz?
I use an Emjoi.
Whatever you do DO NOT use the original Epilady coil epilator that is available on Amazon. It is true torture
Valeria Vasileva I know. That’s why I asked what brand she uses.
I am a Fitzpatrick 4 and I have had laser hair removal and it was fantastic. They used a YAG laser which they said was preferable for darker skin tones.
Hello Dr. Dray. Thanx for the great info. I have a question. I've been using Clarins Double Serum for ages..but now I'm pregnant and I would really like to know if it is safe to use while being pregnant. It's the only serum that didn't break me out
seriously do you live in my house? or in my brain? I was just thinking about this today....Happy Tuesday Dr Dray and peeps :)
Lol! Happy Tuesday
@@DrDrayzday you too! thank you always!
Thanks Reed have a great Tuesday 🤗🤗😀
Thank You!! Have a Lovely Day!!
I was just thinking about this as well
Woah!!
you are a blessing to us! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! Could you do a video on those facial massages that claim to reduce wrinkles if you just do certain massages for example around your laugh lines. There's so many on TH-cam and and wondering if it really claims to be what they say
Butterfly Perez: Type “dr dray facial massage” and “dr dray facial exercises” in the TH-cam search bar to find many videos on these topics.
J T Thank u ❤️
Just clicked off another video when I got this notification. Hope your staying safe :)
thanks for watching :) you too!
Any recommendations for PCOS?
Laser! And make sure it's an actual laser and not IPL.
@@ali-boop whats the difference?
Do NOT do laser on your face especially neck- it will stimulate hair and you will be worse off
Electrolysis, it’s the only method that is permanent
Love learning from you everyday!
Would it be possible to have a dedicated video of sunscreen recommendations for medium to dark skin types? Or does anyone here recommend a video she’s already made that addresses this?
I have PCOS which causes hair on my face and chest. Because I’m black, the hair is dark and coarse a d it causes ingrowns and hyperpigmentation no matter how I remove it. The only safe thing I can do is to bleach the hair, and thankfully I’m fair enough that this makes the hair mostly invisible against my skin, but it grows so fast that I have to do it often. I really do need an effective solution, because this has taken a toll on my self esteem for over a decade now.
Dewi Lew: I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Can you consult with a board-certified dermatologist that’s experienced treating skin of color? They may be able to offer you the best advice. 😊
Happy Tuesday! THanks for all your amazing videos and information you put out there for free. You've really transformed my skin and beliefs on skincare.
which method do you prefer/personally use, dr Dray? especially on tretinoin? thank you for this extremely helpful video! x
Happy Tuesday Dr Dray..thank you for the information..see you tomorrow x💙🤩
I LOVE EVERY VIDEO YOUVE MADE! So so glad I came across your page!
Soft wax adheres to the skin and should only go over no more than once. Hard wax shrink wraps around the hairs and not the skin. Meaning it's less harsh on the skin and you can go over the same spot multiple times if need be. But if you have a good wax and technique you won't have to.
I love Cerave ! Thank You ,Dr.Dray!
Thank you for explaining this Pro beautician and barber here, I've been shaving my arms and my upper lip for 15 years 🤣 yes I'm a female Barber and I do shave my face it is not grown back thicker it is not grown back more ❤️❤️❤️ thank you thank you for explaining this maybe people will listen now 🤣💕✌🏼💈✂️

Thanks so much for the useful info, Dr Dray! Happy Tuesday!! Hope you have a great evening. 💖
Is it okay to use aloe vera gel instead of shaving cream?
🌝I am new to your channel and am so very thankful for you and the no-nonsense knowledge you bring to my skin care concerns. I was watching your older videos and just adore your mom and Tybee, too! I wish my mom had been not like yours! I hope she is well and that you are both staying safe and well. Thank you again so much for your time and expertise 💕
I apologize for self-correct: Should have said "I wish my mom had been more like yours".
I had over 2 years worth of treatments of laser hair removal. I spent about a thousand dollars. It helped to slow and lighten my hair but a few months after ending the treatment, the hair growth and dark color came back. I went back to the doctors office and they said laser hair removal won’t help me because I have a hormone issue. So I guess I’m just stuck with facial hair for life. 😭

Good topic today!
Happy Tuesday Stay safe and healthy everyone 😊🍁
I've had electroepilation for over a year... I think it depends on the individual, the body region, the hair itself etc. etc. If you assume that there is always only 10-20% of the hair on the surface and even with electro-epilation you do not always destroy the hair immediately, you have to expect that it can take a very long time. I have it done on three regions. I am at about 34 hours = 3.017,50 € already. xD
Ok, so clearly I've been doing the shaving thing mostly wrong since I was a teenager! 🙄
Happy Tuesday Everybody!!

Thank you so much for this helpful video. I have literally used all of these hair removal methods. I have PCOS and in Aus every beauty salon has laser hair removal and I would of had over 30 treatments on my face and body with barely any results. I have just started electrolysis on my face but then lockdown happened and so I haven’t gotten it all done. But fingers crossed it works.
Great video Dr Gray! You are the best.
What sunscreen do you recommend for sensitive acne prone skin?
Literally was watching hair removal videos when this video popped up. Clicked so fast!!!
thanks for watching
Dr Dray! This is crazy! I was literally just looking into tretinoin and waxing just yesterday! 😁
Wow! What a thorough video on this topic. Thank you.
I am surprised you haven't mentioned how dermaplaning has been used on dry skin of the face to remove the top dead layer of skin as well. I had an aesthetician tell me this helps so I would love your opinion on it and if you recommend this! So many new dermaplane razors are on the market in 2021 so would appreciate any updates!!!
I have to thank you for all the incredible valuable knowledge you share. THANK YOU, you are so lovely!
Wow I was just talking about this 5 seconds ago
thanks for watching
Super informative, as always Dr. D! I'm interested in what your thoughts are on the DermaFlash??? And what happened with the lizards? Stay cool. :)
Hey Dr Dray , can you please do a separate video on electrolysis for unwanted facial hair like on the upper lip, chin and sides of the face? Also the correct regimen to follow after electrolysis of facial hair and what skincare products to use after the electrolysis treatment on the face to avoid formation of scabs? What would be the best to use?AloeVera gel, CeraVe, Aquaphor or Vaseline? Really looking forward to your response or a video. TIA.
My hair grow so fast in other areas on my face which sucked!!
Enjoyed This Video Sooo Much Dr. Dray!! Very Interesting Topic!! Thank You for a Perfect Video as Always!! Sending Much Love and Hugs!! Always!! xoxoxo
Thanks Dr. Dray! I've tried waxing, threading, shaving, derma planing, sugaring, depilatory cream and the Jolen Creme Bleach Lightener (brows and upper lip). My favorite method was waxing, but it always made my skin really irritated. The worst was the depilatory cream as it made my upper lip look puckered! 😲🤣 A few years ago I started noticing peach fuzz, so I decided to try shaving. I just use a mild facial cleanser and a disposable razor. The results last about a month, and you're right, the hair doesn't grow back faster or thicker. It's cheap, not irritating and quick. I just pluck the few brow hairs that grow out of bounds.
Yesssss was waiting for this topic 😍
happy tuesday
@@DrDrayzday 💗 have a good day
Thanks doc
I’m actually planning to go for laser hair reduction
God bless u
I put my tweezers down to listen to this.
Lol, same here

Love your info. Would you advise about plucking chin hair? Over time will it help by damaging the follicle? Will it make anything worse?
I have white skin (Type 2) , dark brown hair and I have had over 30 IPL sessions to remove my facial hair. The type 2 skin with dark thick hair (curly hair)combo should make me the ideal candidate for hair removal via IPL. Each time I had IPL, however, my hair grew thicker and more visible and in areas I did not previously have it. The hair would gradually disappear in the first 2 weeks (it would fall), only to regrow by week 4-5, stronger and more stubborn than ever. I have of course - for around 3 weeks a fine clean face, and then, boom, by week 4 or 5 I am a hairy monster again. If at first, before starting IPL treatments, I had fine hair on my face (especially my chin and mustache area) now I have what can be called "a beard" with many many coarse black hairs. I now have black hair follicles on my cheeks (which never existed previously to IPL) and as said before a lot more follicles in my problem areas. I believe that is because before each IPL treatment, they shaved off all my face and now I am having hairs also on my cheeks and under my lip. I have also been told to never wax or use creams to shave my hair in between sessions as it would not allow for the hair to grow for the next session in order for the light impulse to effectively kill the follicle. I have shaved my chin area multiple times in between sessions (for several years already, starting with week 4 after an IPL treatment, I shave my chin hairs daily or every 2 days for around 1 or 2 weeks) and it is becoming thicker and thicker in spite of all monthly IPL treatments (5-6 weeks apart). As a proof that regular shaving caused increased thickness, I can compare with my mustache area, which now is a lot less noticeable but which was shaved only during my IPL sessions, but not by me daily in between IPL sessions. In my case, It was not a myth that shaving (before applying IPL and in between sessions) lead to thicker hairs and I am getting desperate to remove my many many chin hairs . I have spend several thousands of dollars on my facial hair removal, only to have it grow thicker, coarser and darker. The shaving increasing thickness is not a myth. Also, as further proof, since my teenage years I have been shaving the fine hair on my forearms and with frequent shaving it has grown a lot darker in colour and a lot thicker and coarser. Comparing with my upper part of the arms which haven't been shaved, the difference is like night and day.
can someone please deeply explain how to shave in the direction of hair growth and how to know what direction your hair is growing.
Have a wonderful day 🙂
I love so much your videos! I used at home laser and worked wonders for me. Sending love! ❤❤❤
Hi! That's so great to hear, what brand did you buy?

I stopped shaving for a month after a ethician here on yogurt said shaving is so bad and cause micro tears which makes makeup go inside then cause acne
Thank you so much Dr.Dray for really useful information❤️, my face and body skin get deadly itchy when I shaved or waxed , is there any way to get rid of itchy sensations?
