Dr. Dray, I am a 76 year old recently retired nurse. I must tell you how refreshing you are! It has been years since I began watching you and you are 100% genuine. So much of what you share is true wisdom. Thank you for your vlogging…it is both informative and entertaining. It is no wonder you are reaching 2 million subscribers. Congratulations. You are one influencer that ‘influences’ us all with the good, the true and the beautiful. Thank you. A grateful subscriber!!! ♥️
Dear Dr. Dray, I am a 70 years old follower from Germany since almost two years and appreciate your informative channel based on science, which is informative and entertaining. I am always looking forward to your videos. Best regards and happy weekend 😊 Sabine
The other thing that is putting me off is the amount of makeup used to practically change a person's complete look. Have you seen some of these 'catfish' makeup shorts and tutorials? You start to wonder who the real person is underneath all that spackle and paint? It's nothing but an illusion, imo, and very deceiving. Who a person is inside has always been what draws me to a person, not how "pretty/handsome" they are. I've known too many in my life that were beautiful to look at and empty inside. 😔
54-year-old here loving your filter rant! Thank you! The whole "anti-aging" and "you need to start saving now for a vertical restore face-lift" has become a constant trigger for me, so much so, my 20-year-old daughter told me to please stop watching anything on social media which perpetuates this mindset! Thank you for the reminder that aging is a privilege. ❤
@@maryhumphrey2236 68 here and I agree! I work daily to overcome self-consciousness about wrinkles and sagging. That said, I am thankful to be healthy and feeling great otherwise. Totally it is direct shaming by marketing and also subtle like the filters.
I worked in a library for 22 years! Dealing with the public can be very difficult, but most people were very nice and appreciative of library services and became friends.
I absolutely love whatever you have on your eyes. It’s so subtle but sparkly! I have to be at work at 6:30am and when I do wake up with enough time to do my makeup I would love something like that!!! Loved your filter / anti aging rant! I’m 34 and I’ve had grey hairs since I was 21! I’m learning to embrace all my greys in their entirety
Such an apropos rant on filters. My partner and I were just discussing this morning how we are taught by marketing (and social media, but we are old and learned all our wrong skin information from marketing and ads) to view every skin anomaly as something to “fix.” I recently realized I was trying to fix things with my skin that weren’t really broken, so I’m backing off and relieving myself of that duty. Besides, I’m 60 years old, and my skin is still doing its job. It’s about time I just thank my skin for all its hard work and not try to force it to look perfect. Looking good for its age is a decent goal.
Dermatologist Dr Natalia Spierings discusses this in her book Skintelligent. Cosmetics companies do a lot of harm by trivialising skin conditions such as acne etc. and making people feel bad about themselves. Skin problems are a medical problem and not your fault and are not fixed overnight. As Dr Dray has explained too, normal skin has varying texture and colour on your face, it is not like it appears in those filters.
Oh my gosh thank you for saying that a couple of cups of coffee is not going to dry me out and turn me into a mummy. I have this conversation so often. I love my coffee and it loves me.❤
I used to work in a public library, the moment I turned 16. Worked for 3 years. Only quit cuz of overloaded college schedule. During high school, worked couple of week nights and Saturdays. When I went to college, hours varied. At our library, it opened at noon, but I started work at 8am..with shelving, checking in returned books, sorting out new books, preparing for crafts for children and pajama story time. I enjoyed all of it.
I am currently using the Gold Bond retinol on my face. It has dramatically changed my skin in a great way! It’s smoother, softer. and my fine lines are gone. No acne breakouts and blackheads Thank you for sharing this product to us.❤
Not sure if you're ever discussed this or if I'm completely off but as someone with ADHD, this video spoke to me!!! (leaving things out rather than putting them away so you don't forget they exist, having next to no recollection of a book/tv series/movie you know you consumed, being tempted by impulse purchases/feeling the need to look at everything, heightened sense of empathy/justice, not wanting to deal with people, and the sheer amount of tangents in this video). That aside, I appreciate you sharing all of your knowledge/advice with us! I have definitely struggled with feelings of insecurity due to my face not 'living up' to the filter's rendition of my face. I already put on a full face of makeup nearly every day as it is, and filters definitely contribute to the warping of how I believe my face _should_ look, which makes it much more devastating when it doesn't.
As someone who is a bit disheartened at getting old, I had a nurse tell me that she finds it hilarious how women do all kinds of stuff to the face to look younger but then when they take off their clothes……POW! There’s the truth😂. All we can do is follow Dr. Dray’s advice but more importantly, stay beautiful within. Happy weekend everyone!❤
I've needed to take a big step back from social media (other than TH-cam,) because it was really messing with my self perception. I don't want to let myself feel expired because I'm 45, and I found myself being ridiculously hard in on myself. I want to appreciate what my body and mind have done for me. Each day we are granted is a gift.
Thank you so much for the rant on filters. I'm 65 and take very good care of my skin, but it's taken me awhile to really embrace my wrinkles and be happy with them. I really appreciate your videos and have learned so much from you the last few years.
I appreciate the filter rant. A few weeks ago I was using an app on a beauty supply website because I was thinking about dying my hair. It was automatically applying a filter to my face when I specifically wanted to see what I would ACTUALLY look like in real life with a particular hair color. So aggravating!! I’m fine with my dang crinkles around my eyes!!
I agree with you about the filters. As a 57 year old, I feel like I need to hide my wrinkles and I don't feel like I have a bunch. Peer pressure sucks.
I agree 100% with you Dr dre, those filters are just damaging, they show you the way you "should " look, so my quesiton is, what should I look like? a computer generated version of myself? that's nuts, no thank you. I like the real me.This is why I have never used a filter in my life, my pics show who I am, and to avoid bad comments, I have private social media. Only people I know and I love can see my pics, the rest don't need to see haha.
I agree with everything you say Dr. Dray. no one is perfect. filters are not the real you. Keeping your skin healthy is one thing, but we have to stay real.
Dr Dray-- I am a ballet teacher and have rarely encountered a rude parent in my 40 years of teaching. Sometimes children can be disrespectful, but mostly they are learning to behave still through socialization. As you know since you studied ballet, the etiquette in the ballet classroom is strict and old school. Respect for your teacher and the art should be paramount, unlike many situations you witness with children. I encounter many rude people in daily life but it is mostly when I am in a car!! LOL Loved your topics today. Thank you
I completely agree with you on the filters! It's sad that so many people are bullied into not being able to accept how they look. Thanks for speaking on this so intelligently. Happy Saturday, Dr Dray! Hope you have a peaceful evening. 💖
I have been using the Timeless Co Q10 serum ever since you purchased your second bottle. That's when I knew you loved it! And I have been loving it myself! I also don't really wait between serums, I just apply them right after each other, then wait a minute before my sunscreen. Right now I'm using the Neutrogena tinted mineral SPF 30. I mix both the light and medium Shades to come up with my perfect shade. I actually found it in the discount area at Target! It was $4 off and I snatched 3 up right away.
My hiusband is a librarian, as are my 3 closest friends in 2 cities. (I used to work in libraries as well). It is a stressful job in many ways especially with all the budget cutting. One library was just asked why they need their catalog and can't just use the State Archive's software... (They are completely different and serve different purposes.) Lots of politicians and schools also say that libraries aren't necessary because internet. Curation and fact-checking matter, as does actually loving information and inforrmation policy.
I'm 75 & think most of us are probably better off letting nature take its course rather than relying on Botox. I'm all in favor of taking good care of our skin. I just don't like the idea of plastic surgery so I look 30 yrs. younger than I actually am. My lines & wrinkles are my history ! I ordered Timeless CoQ10. Gotta try it ! When you said you can't just go into a store & get what you want....you like looking around....so do I. I love taking my time, checking out what's new. If I just run in, get what I want, & run back out every time, I'm going to miss all sorts of things ! It's interesting to look around.....you never know what you might find!
I am so the opposite with shopping. I hate wandering around in the store. My anxiety gets so bad by the time I grab what's on my list my hearts pounding in my throat to escape. Lol. 😅
13:27 thanks for taking us on another shopping trip, Dr. Dray! Currently I am a medical librarian, but worked in public libraries for many years. Librarians often serve a social worker role.
I did student work experience in a library, and there was a library patron who abused the system - he was in the library every day, putting in requests for obscure books for the acquisitions manager to purchase. And half the time he never read the books anyway. There is no way to ban these people. Also there were strict rules about people leaving children there as free babysitting.
I agree about the filters!! I had used a filter once that showed half your face with the filter and the other half without. Used it on my dad, and he could not believe the difference!! It's going to get to the point where people don't recognize themselves in the mirror because they're so used to seeing themselves filtered.
I'm currently on page 80 of the marriage portrait. So far I'm finding it pretty interesting but it's too soon to tell whether I will love the book as a whole. I absolutely loved happy place and I also enjoyed one true loves. Shout out to all the bookworms out there!📚📚 my two loves in life are books and yoga and really any form of movement so I could very happy when you talk about those things. And of course skin care and health!
I bought the Airscape canisters after seeing you use them. They are great! I love smelling the beans when I put the first lid on and the puff of air comes out 😌
100% agree about filters. I don’t use them anymore for that very reason. I also have a young daughter, and I don’t want to set that example for her that you need a filter to be beautiful. I know societal standards for women’s beauty have always existed, but they feel VERY unattainable these days.
What annoys me the most is that some dermatologists on TH-cam have become true fashion influencers of aesthetic procedures and try to sell us the idea that by filling our lips we will be much prettier, I really trully hate that 🙄🤦🏾♀️
I have yet to see any woman whom I think looks better with those lip injections. Shopping malls are full of middle aged women walking around with the dreaded trout pout and a very stereotyped look in general - and don't get me started on those awful sharpie eyebrows. Women in my family have never worn much eye makeup ever in their lives, are suddenly showing up at family events with these awful cartoon character like eyebrows - what were they thinking
Happy Sunday, Dr. Dray!! Hope you are enjoying your weekend. I just purchased the CV Cleansing oil and I think it is very good. Also started my second bottle of the Neutrogena Hydro Boost 10% Niacinamide Serum so I guess I like that! 😂 I also have decided to add Vitamin C to my AM routine. I got the Timeless Vit C Serum and will layer it under the Timeless CoQ10 Serum *before* OF COURSE sunblock. I have to say I agree w/ you about the filters. Do people not know that we know they are unsung filters??? Stay cool, Dr. Dray!!!😎
I love your rants! Not only does AI and social media filters interfere with our self perception, but it also destroys our ability to understand nostalgia and wistfulness when it comes to memory making. I try to teach this concept to my children and students, but, unfortunately, those concepts are no longer innate.
Dr. Dray! I found Dr. Tung’s smart floss after my favorite Reach brand stretchy expanding floss was discontinued. Thank you for highlighting this product. Take care; happy summer.
Thank you Dr. Dray this was great and yes I can't agree with you enough about the use of filters. Have s great weekend we Canadian's are lucky to have Monday off work. I'm soon going to be 70 and have worked at many responsible jobs but also even now would love to work part time in a Library.😅
Thank you for the “filter rant”. (60 y/o female here) I believe leading to a dark place is already here. Yes, I do use Tretinoin but that’s about it. I don’t like to watch even watch the news anymore. One must have wigs,extensions, eyelash extensions, fillers and Botox. You can’t really blink because of the heavy eyelashes, upper lips don’t move when you speak this , nor does your eyebrows or forehead show expressions. Is that what we are supposed to look like to appear professional? I think not!
So true! I also hate how local news shows (at least where I am) tend to have middle aged men that stick around for years but the women are always young. It seems like as soon as they hit 40-45 they’re shuffled off and replaced with a 26 year old.
I really agree, Dr.Dray. The reason why Korea has become a paradise for plastic surgery is that people create a specific image and undergo plastic surgery to fit it. You have to have a heart to love yourself as you were born, but it seems that it is becoming a difficult to do so nowadays.
Any coffee that you enjoy is good for a French press. The thing that most people don't understand involves light vs dark roast coffee. Light roasts actually have more caffeine and can have more acidic fruity flavors. Exploring light roasts is an adventure. You should try Ethiopian yirgacheffe some time. It's great.
i really worry for the younger generation that is growing up with all these weird filters and toxic content and ideals constantly pushed on them and normalized....millennials dealt with a lot of bs too but now i feel like it's just 10x worse 😖
I remember watching a British TV show with two middle aged women who had wrinkles, not incredibly skinny, sagging skin, etc. I came away feeling so much better about myself, knowing that I was normal and that I was really being sucked into that culture of perfection that is not real - despite being very conscious of it. The filters and photoshopping really does infiltrate our brains because it is EVERYWHERE. I would love to see more media with normal, aging people!
The first reaction to photo filters is who do they think they are fooling? 😂 Vanity is off the charts. Focus on cosmetic appearance and not true internal health takes it to a additional level!
Internal health, your guts AND your mind, is so important. Speaking of which, I am starting to think people's obsession with cosmetic procedures is tied with how people do not like how they are truly like inside.
Me too, I need to look at everything in a store, even if I'm not buying it gives me an idea of products and pricing. No one else I know does this and they have no clue about any products. I enjoy seeing new interesting things, in person, again even if I'm not buying. Yes on filters... as if it's not bad enough always being told the beauty standard is celebs who have money and are fed by dietitians and have personal trainers every day.
I remember back in the MySpace days people who altered their pictures were mocked. I think I’ve always held onto the mindset that it’s obvious that your pictures are doctored and everyone can tell. Obviously most people don’t think that now, but the idea of filters and shopping pictures of myself mortifies me
Good Morning Dr Dray! I started on Scinic Enjoy Super Mild Sunscreen after a longwait, and am rather liking it. Please let us know your review some time if you happen to try it. It’s one of the cheaper sunscreens out there.
Northern Night sheets are a great value when on sale at QVC. I love how cool and soft on the skin they are. They also wash really well and come in a lot of great colors and patterns.
Im 32 years old and definitely am a little bit self conscious about the fine lines on my forehead and the lines around my eyes when I smile, but I completely agree with you about the filters. Its bizarre that more and more everything you see on the internet and in real life is artificial. Everything seems fake and no one can live up to these fake standards. The vanity that has taken hold of society is exhausting.
I just cracked into a new cleanser: aveeno nourishing oat cleanser. This is the first time in years I haven’t had that incredibly tight feeling after cleansing and haven’t needed to put on moisturizer. I will be using it as a body wash as well so hopefully it can remove the tight feeling I’m having on my back for many months now (been moisturizing daily so I know it’s not that).
Mine looks like the old packaging though 🤔 interestingly it doesn’t specifically list colloidal oatmeal as an ingredient but does list other oat ingredients
I agree with you completely about filters but we have much better cameras now that can show every single pore and mark you have. Back in the day those celebrities’ pictures were either black and white or blurred due to camera quality. It made them look perfect lol
Would you say that the Timeless Co Q 10 might tend to bother extremely sensitive skin types? (I even have trouble with Vitamin C serums) Love your content and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve searched back for topics and products in your video “library”! Thank you!
I work in software and you would think I don’t deal with people but I deal with rude coworkers and clients all day! I would love to be a digital archivist or something 😂 but I’m sure every job deals with annoying people.. I agree with you, life is more than just looking attractive. Take care of yourself is fine but I try not to obsess over it.
I see lots of pictures of "wise" women in summer clothes with filters that stop in the neck area. Then the crinkled chest skin starts. Or they do filter on themselves only in a picture with a few other women. So obvious! BTW, I was watching QVC this morning and they were presenting your Cosari kettle! Had never seen it anywhere but your videos.
Good Morning!!!!! It’s a great day to wear sunscreen ☀️☀️☀️ I’m wearing P. Calm Water Barrier Sunscreen it is outstanding for the hot humid south and me working outside in my garden!!! 🪴🪴🪴🤍🤍🤍 LOVING it so much!!!
I did my job shadow back in high school with a librarian and I gained a new appreciation for what librarians do. It sounds like they do a ton of work behind the scenes so the library can be the sanctuary that it is for some of us. I ended up deciding it wasn’t for me. Plus I’ve heard library science programs are really hard to get into.
OMG the filters drive me absolutely nuts online but I get so disappointed when family members send picture Christmas cards where they have altered their looks in the photo. ESPECIALLY when they alter their children in the photo, which to me is the same as telling them that they are not good enough the way they are. What I notice most in older movies is that their natural tooth color is not white or not the "chicklet" white that we've become to know and love.
Hi Dr. Dray, Just saw today CeraVe for babies in the form of shampoo and body cream. Have you done any reviews on baby care, and if not would you be able to do a short video on these. Thank you and keep informing us.
BRAVO for speaking out against the now extreme push for beauty - or alleged beauty. Such a sensible, balanced, and well-deserved rant against the excessive levels the pursuit of beauty has been heading. Good time to reread "The Birthmark" - short story (by ?Nathaniel Hawthorne) 1-2 centuries ago. Stand firm against AI taking over. Btw, see how the striking actors are standing up (in part) against being replaced by studios paying them for a few images of themselves and maybe some speaking and then using those images in perpetuity (without royalties even, never mind that they'd be without work going forward!) Most of what Hollywood puts out is unfortunately garbage - but they shouldn't be replaced by AI.
I have worked in a scientific library for 21 years and rather seldom interacted with users. Instead I was cataloguing and had to do other stuff in the backoffice. Your view of a librarian is very romantic 😀

I am so the opposite with shopping. I hate wandering around in the store. My anxiety gets so bad by the time I grab what's on my list my hearts pounding in my throat to escape. Lol. 😅
@@hannahm.9881 wow! How awful for you.
13:27 thanks for taking us on another shopping trip, Dr. Dray! Currently I am a medical librarian, but worked in public libraries for many years. Librarians often serve a social worker role.
I did student work experience in a library, and there was a library patron who abused the system - he was in the library every day, putting in requests for obscure books for the acquisitions manager to purchase. And half the time he never read the books anyway. There is no way to ban these people. Also there were strict rules about people leaving children there as free babysitting.
Thanks for this video - people must get off social media & go for a walk everyday!
Dr. Dray, you are soooooo on target and right about this!
I agree with the filters, I also feel that way with the ring lights…they smooth out the skin and give a filtered look.
Happy Sunday, Dr Dray! Your favorite Aveeno Calm and Restore line has expanded to body care with a wash, lotion and body gel cream now!!! 😍
Morning!
Didn’t it already have all that?
I agree about the filters!! I had used a filter once that showed half your face with the filter and the other half without. Used it on my dad, and he could not believe the difference!! It's going to get to the point where people don't recognize themselves in the mirror because they're so used to seeing themselves filtered.
I'm currently on page 80 of the marriage portrait. So far I'm finding it pretty interesting but it's too soon to tell whether I will love the book as a whole. I absolutely loved happy place and I also enjoyed one true loves. Shout out to all the bookworms out there!📚📚 my two loves in life are books and yoga and really any form of movement so I could very happy when you talk about those things. And of course skin care and health!
I read the Marriage Portrait. I thought it was really good. I definitely recommend it.
I bought the Airscape canisters after seeing you use them. They are great! I love smelling the beans when I put the first lid on and the puff of air comes out 😌
They keep things fresh 👍🏼
Yum thats my purfume haha. I get migraines from fragrance but Loveeee fresh coffee
@@phillyjilly honestly...smells SO good. A ritual at this point that definitely gets my day off to a good start 🙂
same! definitely a good buy. and my form of aromatherapy. 😆
100% agree about filters. I don’t use them anymore for that very reason. I also have a young daughter, and I don’t want to set that example for her that you need a filter to be beautiful. I know societal standards for women’s beauty have always existed, but they feel VERY unattainable these days.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and musings. I love your Freeform Saturday Vlogs ❤
I love you Dr. Dray! Thanks for keeping it real!!!!❤️❤️❤️
What annoys me the most is that some dermatologists on TH-cam have become true fashion influencers of aesthetic procedures and try to sell us the idea that by filling our lips we will be much prettier, I really trully hate that 🙄🤦🏾♀️
I’m not aware of any dermatologists on youtube that do that - but I only check out other derm channels from time to time. 🤷🏽♀️🤔
I have yet to see any woman whom I think looks better with those lip injections. Shopping malls are full of middle aged women walking around with the dreaded trout pout and a very stereotyped look in general - and don't get me started on those awful sharpie eyebrows. Women in my family have never worn much eye makeup ever in their lives, are suddenly showing up at family events with these awful cartoon character like eyebrows - what were they thinking
@@grespinosathere are several!
Happy Sunday, Dr. Dray!! Hope you are enjoying your weekend. I just purchased the CV Cleansing oil and I think it is very good. Also started my second bottle of the Neutrogena Hydro Boost 10% Niacinamide Serum so I guess I like that! 😂 I also have decided to add Vitamin C to my AM routine. I got the Timeless Vit C Serum and will layer it under the Timeless CoQ10 Serum *before* OF COURSE sunblock.
I have to say I agree w/ you about the filters. Do people not know that we know they are unsung filters???
Stay cool, Dr. Dray!!!😎
I love your rants! Not only does AI and social media filters interfere with our self perception, but it also destroys our ability to understand nostalgia and wistfulness when it comes to memory making. I try to teach this concept to my children and students, but, unfortunately, those concepts are no longer innate.
Dr. Dray! I found Dr. Tung’s smart floss after my favorite Reach brand stretchy expanding floss was discontinued. Thank you for highlighting this product. Take care; happy summer.
Love you
I am a 59 years old !!!,wrinkles are normal we will change . We move our faces . 😢
Happy Saturday Dr Dray…see you tomorrow x💙🤩
Thank you Dr. Dray this was great and yes I can't agree with you enough about the use of filters. Have s great weekend we Canadian's are lucky to have Monday off work. I'm soon going to be 70 and have worked at many responsible jobs but also even now would love to work part time in a Library.😅
Thank you for the “filter rant”. (60 y/o female here) I believe leading to a dark place is already here. Yes, I do use Tretinoin but that’s about it. I don’t like to watch even watch the news anymore. One must have wigs,extensions, eyelash extensions, fillers and Botox. You can’t really blink because of the heavy eyelashes, upper lips don’t move when you speak this , nor does your eyebrows or forehead show expressions. Is that what we are supposed to look like to appear professional? I think not!
So true! I also hate how local news shows (at least where I am) tend to have middle aged men that stick around for years but the women are always young. It seems like as soon as they hit 40-45 they’re shuffled off and replaced with a 26 year old.
I totally agree with you about the filters and seeing older films. I we have all been had, much to our detriment.
I really agree, Dr.Dray.
The reason why Korea has become a paradise for plastic surgery is that people create a specific image and undergo plastic surgery to fit it.
You have to have a heart to love yourself as you were born, but it seems that it is becoming a difficult to do so nowadays.
Yessss I love a Dr Dray Costco visit!!!
Hi, I just noticed that you are nearly at 2M subscribers. Congrats, you more than deserve your successes.
Any coffee that you enjoy is good for a French press. The thing that most people don't understand involves light vs dark roast coffee. Light roasts actually have more caffeine and can have more acidic fruity flavors. Exploring light roasts is an adventure. You should try Ethiopian yirgacheffe some time. It's great.
I totally agree with you!! Thanks for your thoughts...lots of gems in this video!
Loved this Dr Dray!❤
I love the filter rant. I feel exactly the same way.
Happy Saturday, Dr. Dray and friends!🎊☮️💜
Greetings Barb Owens hope u r well n Happy Saturday😀👍💜….
i really worry for the younger generation that is growing up with all these weird filters and toxic content and ideals constantly pushed on them and normalized....millennials dealt with a lot of bs too but now i feel like it's just 10x worse 😖
You always keep it real so rare these days. Enjoy your day Dr. Dray!
I remember watching a British TV show with two middle aged women who had wrinkles, not incredibly skinny, sagging skin, etc. I came away feeling so much better about myself, knowing that I was normal and that I was really being sucked into that culture of perfection that is not real - despite being very conscious of it. The filters and photoshopping really does infiltrate our brains because it is EVERYWHERE. I would love to see more media with normal, aging people!
The first reaction to photo filters is who do they think they are fooling? 😂 Vanity is off the charts. Focus on cosmetic appearance and not true internal health takes it to a additional level!
Exactly 👍🏼
Just avoid the filter that ages you to about 80 like the plague! It's depressing AF! 🤣
Internal health, your guts AND your mind, is so important. Speaking of which, I am starting to think people's obsession with cosmetic procedures is tied with how people do not like how they are truly like inside.
@@msk-qp6fn YES!🏆
@@msk-qp6fn well they are conditioned by society to an off the charts degree.
Thank you!!! Spot on! We are each uniquely beautiful! No APP or AI needed!
OMG! You're almost to 2 million subscribers!! Congratulations!! ❤❤❤
I love the co q 10 serum too . I feel like the bottle lasts forever , which is such a plus .
I bought their big bottle when it was on sale and I feel like I'm never going to run out! It's great!
@@irisk934Same!
Me too, I need to look at everything in a store, even if I'm not buying it gives me an idea of products and pricing. No one else I know does this and they have no clue about any products. I enjoy seeing new interesting things, in person, again even if I'm not buying.
Yes on filters... as if it's not bad enough always being told the beauty standard is celebs who have money and are fed by dietitians and have personal trainers every day.
Happy Saturday Dr Dray ❤
You always have such great things to talk about & information to give us! TFS! 🥰
Librarian here. Yes, it can be stressful. We cannot read books on the job. We have other duties. We deal with people all day.
I remember back in the MySpace days people who altered their pictures were mocked. I think I’ve always held onto the mindset that it’s obvious that your pictures are doctored and everyone can tell. Obviously most people don’t think that now, but the idea of filters and shopping pictures of myself mortifies me
That’s because it was obvious then.
so glad I'm not the only one
It was super obvious back then because the technology was different. Everything is altered now, even factory set cameras.
Good Morning Dr Dray! I started on Scinic Enjoy Super Mild Sunscreen after a longwait, and am rather liking it. Please let us know your review some time if you happen to try it. It’s one of the cheaper sunscreens out there.
Northern Night sheets are a great value when on sale at QVC. I love how cool and soft on the skin they are. They also wash really well and come in a lot of great colors and patterns.
Unfortunately there are rude people in every job setting. Love those adorable 🥰 cakes.
Im 32 years old and definitely am a little bit self conscious about the fine lines on my forehead and the lines around my eyes when I smile, but I completely agree with you about the filters. Its bizarre that more and more everything you see on the internet and in real life is artificial. Everything seems fake and no one can live up to these fake standards. The vanity that has taken hold of society is exhausting.
Hi Dr Dray so excited to be here for a Saturday vlog Happy Saturday I live for this❤
Greetings David Shabas hope u r well n Happy Saturday😀👍💜….
@@whitneybrown4067 Happy Saturday Whitney👍
Morning!
@@DrDrayzday ❤
☮️💕🤗
Love your rants!
I just cracked into a new cleanser: aveeno nourishing oat cleanser. This is the first time in years I haven’t had that incredibly tight feeling after cleansing and haven’t needed to put on moisturizer. I will be using it as a body wash as well so hopefully it can remove the tight feeling I’m having on my back for many months now (been moisturizing daily so I know it’s not that).
Mine looks like the old packaging though 🤔 interestingly it doesn’t specifically list colloidal oatmeal as an ingredient but does list other oat ingredients
I love the filter rant ♡ thanks for speaking the truth.
I agree with you completely about filters but we have much better cameras now that can show every single pore and mark you have. Back in the day those celebrities’ pictures were either black and white or blurred due to camera quality. It made them look perfect lol
By the way your content has been fire lately, more than ever
Thanks for watching
Lol! Crickets. Priceless! The word is "dehumanize" - AI can dehumanize us if we let it. Fun vlog!
I work remotely auditing documents and I don't have to talk to any customers ever. It's a blessing
Natural and modesty, I think, can be good advice. Thank you for your interesting and fun videos.
Would you say that the Timeless Co Q 10 might tend to bother extremely sensitive skin types? (I even have trouble with Vitamin C serums)
Love your content and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve searched back for topics and products in your video “library”! Thank you!
Vlog Day is my happy day! 💜💜💜
🎉
I work in software and you would think I don’t deal with people but I deal with rude coworkers and clients all day! I would love to be a digital archivist or something 😂 but I’m sure every job deals with annoying people.. I agree with you, life is more than just looking attractive. Take care of yourself is fine but I try not to obsess over it.
What is a digital archivist?
I soo much appreciate that you focus in real life and good self care decisions and habits. All these apps are crap
I see lots of pictures of "wise" women in summer clothes with filters that stop in the neck area. Then the crinkled chest skin starts. Or they do filter on themselves only in a picture with a few other women. So obvious! BTW, I was watching QVC this morning and they were presenting your Cosari kettle! Had never seen it anywhere but your videos.
Good Morning!!!!! It’s a great day to wear sunscreen ☀️☀️☀️ I’m wearing P. Calm Water Barrier Sunscreen it is outstanding for the hot humid south and me working outside in my garden!!! 🪴🪴🪴🤍🤍🤍 LOVING it so much!!!
So glad to hear you found a good one for the humidity
I ordered the new CeraVe cleanser. I got it from Amazon and it is fantastic
I did my job shadow back in high school with a librarian and I gained a new appreciation for what librarians do. It sounds like they do a ton of work behind the scenes so the library can be the sanctuary that it is for some of us. I ended up deciding it wasn’t for me. Plus I’ve heard library science programs are really hard to get into.
after a psychology degree I did a Master's in Library and Info science and in the end didn't like it, it wasn't for me
OMG the filters drive me absolutely nuts online but I get so disappointed when family members send picture Christmas cards where they have altered their looks in the photo. ESPECIALLY when they alter their children in the photo, which to me is the same as telling them that they are not good enough the way they are.
What I notice most in older movies is that their natural tooth color is not white or not the "chicklet" white that we've become to know and love.
Hope u had a great day, Dr. Dra❤ y
blur filters on skincare videos are the absolute worst and harpar's bazaar and the other one have been using them and it infuriates me
False advertising
Hi Dr. Dray, Just saw today CeraVe for babies in the form of shampoo and body cream. Have you done any reviews on baby care, and if not would you be able to do a short video on these. Thank you and keep informing us.
BRAVO for speaking out against the now extreme push for beauty - or alleged beauty. Such a sensible, balanced, and well-deserved rant against the excessive levels the pursuit of beauty has been heading. Good time to reread "The Birthmark" - short story (by ?Nathaniel Hawthorne) 1-2 centuries ago.
Stand firm against AI taking over. Btw, see how the striking actors are standing up (in part) against being replaced by studios paying them for a few images of themselves and maybe some speaking and then using those images in perpetuity (without royalties even, never mind that they'd be without work going forward!) Most of what Hollywood puts out is unfortunately garbage - but they shouldn't be replaced by AI.
I have worked in a scientific library for 21 years and rather seldom interacted with users. Instead I was cataloguing and had to do other stuff in the backoffice. Your view of a librarian is very romantic 😀
Right on Dr. Dray! ☮❤
