Quick tip: anything with oil (oil based or straight up oil) should be applied LAST. It’s harder for products to penetrate oil, so they should be last to seal everything in :)
i want the benefits of the oil on my skin before moisturiser so i'll stick to that thanks. basic carrier oils are fine for over creams but special ones should go first.
Interesting, I agree with partially both of what your saying. Having combo / oily skin and over 35 I really don’t have the need for creams after 1st always ( my serum ) then an oil. However at times I will certainly add an eye cream after the oil has been on at least 30 mins or so. TY
Annie Bergquist face oils placed on skin seek out sebum from the dermis, it’s going to trick ur skin into accepting other ingredients put on after for example retinols and glycolic acid should be applied after if you want to get the most benefit from them
Would love to see a routine for the pregnant ladies! While I enjoy skincare I have had to stop using my normal products because of the chemicals they contain, but I still want to take good care of my skin, especially during this time in my life.
I love how detailed and precise ur videos are, yet short and so easily to watch. I’m looking forward to more and more educating videos as they are so inspiring❤️
Mona thank you for this video! Very insightful and knowledgeable!! Great products you demonstrated too. Always awesome content from you. Can't wait for food combining video 3 🙌🏻
💛 your channel ! I’m curious Dr. Vand , why did you decide to go into pharmacology as opposed to dermatology? Or have you thought about switching careers? It seems you have a real passion for skincare =)
Thank you so much for such a great video. So clear, and informative. I had been looking endlessly for one on how to do proper layering with skin care products. Yours was by far the best well articulated... short, and to the point! Truly appreciative... Btw.. I just subscribed:)
Loved the video! Very informative. You give great skin care advice! Can you please do a video on serums and oils. I'd like to add to my skin care routine! Thank you! Subscribed!
I am loving all your videos! I’m a new subbie! So glad I found you! Your tips and videos are so easy to follow and understand. They’re all ver informative! I think I’ve favorited and liked almost every video lol 💕
You'd love Radical Skincare! Their SPF is a physical sunscreen that isn't chalky, I use it for a base for my make up because it's matte and works great! (You'd also love their Exfoliating Pads)
love your videos ❤ Been following you on Instagram for like eveeeer and I get so excited every time you upload on TH-cam x Keep it up, your channel will grow so much 😘
Hi mona , I’m such a massive fan of you 💖 I do love your skincare videos but I also really enjoy watching other videos you make related to health and digestive, please do more I’d love to see what you eat in a day morning to evening ! 💖
In winter I use foundations with SPF and in summer I put transparent sunscreen on top of my skin care and make up. Neck and cleavage too. 100% Natural products for skin care and big brands products for serum and make up. This is advice I got from all my doctors. (I had a surgery for a breast issue)
I really liked your video.. though i knew most of them, i was happy that your tips matched my routine. Didnot know about the cream mask, i will try it if i can get ny hands on it. Your presentation is very pleasant, very soft and soothing. Thank you, please do more such videos.
I have been using a chemical exfoliating scrub for month but it didn't work for me.Your view towards two types of exfoliator really helps me understand what is right for me. I thought each exfoliator works same. And obviously I like how you express yourself.
Do you have a video about Pharmacy School? I am beginning an accelerated PharmD program and am curious about your personal experience. I just recently discovered you and enjoy watching your content!
Hi Dr. Mona! I recently subscribed to your channel and love the videos I've seen so far. Question: is it sufficient to wear a foundation or tinted moisturizer with SPF? Or do we need to layer a separate SPF cream as well? Thanks!
Rose AndCore the amount of SPF in makeup isn't significant enough to provide good protection, I would definitely recommend putting a separate SPF on under makeup!
The downside to a setting spray with SPF is that there is absolutely no way to be sure how much of the product was actually applied to the face. Plenty of the SPF will be sprayed into the air (along with your money!). If you are truly interested in getting the full benefits of an SPF, do not use spray on products.
Better put the sunscreen on top of everything. Make up often contains seemingly harmless ingredients that however change molecular structure under heat. They then become carcinogenic. One of these ingredients existed in my drugstore moisturizer and since Ive had surgery for a breast issue at a young age my products underwent scrutiny.
Nellie Rivera Check out Dr dray's channel. Mona is a pharmacist (Doctorate in pharmacy (PharmD) is not the same as a medical doctor) and she is NOT a skin care "expert" as she self proclaims. Dr Dray is a board certified dermatologist and did medical residency training specific to skin ( which makes her the expert) and also makes great (non sponsored) videos.
I trusted you until you mentioned baking soda! How can you recommend putting that on anyone's face? Definitely not safe or good for skin, especially sensitive types. :O
Thank you, Dr. Mona for this video. Do you think you have two use two methods of exfoliation for the best results? I'm using Good Genes nightly and was moving towards stopping a physical exfoliator or just using it on my neck and chest.
Jennifer Gillin You DO NOT need physical exfoliation. You can do structly chemical & have your skin in great condition! Physical really isn't typically good for most skin types.
I think eating anti-aging foods are good to manage the aging issues. These foods provide nutrition to the skin and other organs and maintain the optimum health condition. There are several anti-aging foods that can overcome the aging. I have found an interesting article entitled “9 Foods To Overcome Aging (Ultimate Guide with Ultimate Details) at zovon.
Thanks Dr. Mona! I'd like to try the EXFOLIKATE, thanks for the links! If I use just that product for exfoliation still 3x per week? I was thinking in the shower in the AM or at night. Not sure if you would recommend one or the other. I also use drying acne products (duac AM and differin PM).
in your video you show 2 serums (hyauloronic acid and vitamin C) that you personally use. Can you please mention what brands these are from? You also show 2 exfoliants. what brands are these? Thanks xo 💕💖
Noted with thanks! Could you please share if (Elta MD) physical sunscreen can be used on eyes? Most chemical sunscreens can not. And how much sunscreen should one apply to benefit the mentioned SPF? Thanks in advance for your reply.
Thank you Dr Mona ❤ A couple of days ago u snapped a chlorophyll drink. Could you please post a recipe ? 2) Am getting laser hair removal on my face could i get a retinoid serum and how much percentage ? Would love more skincare videos lots of love ❤
Piaa Juneja yes :) i use different ones. That one was by Sakara! I would talk to your doctor, but probably hold off on any irritating products a few days before laser hair removal xx
Hi Dr. Mona. I have a question that relates to Dry vs. Dehydrated skin and it relates to my hands. They look so dry, wrinkly and crepey. What would you do to bring your hands back to soft and supple life?
Quick tip: anything with oil (oil based or straight up oil) should be applied LAST. It’s harder for products to penetrate oil, so they should be last to seal everything in :)
Annie Bergquist i like adding oils after serums, but before heavier creams!

WAter based - gel based - cream based - oil based (oil always come last)
your way of speaking is just right; not loud, not too relaxed, but sharp. I enjoyed this video, thanks!
Adrian thank you Adrian! So nice of you to say :)
You've broken down skin care so well. It's so relatable. I thought I understood skin care basics, and then I watched you! Now I really get it. Thanks.
Would love to see a routine for the pregnant ladies! While I enjoy skincare I have had to stop using my normal products because of the chemicals they contain, but I still want to take good care of my skin, especially during this time in my life.
I Love using Derma E skincare. They too, also have a antioxidant natural sunscreen with the zinc oxide that works well. ❤️
I love how detailed and precise ur videos are, yet short and so easily to watch. I’m looking forward to more and more educating videos as they are so inspiring❤️

4-Cream that contains oils
Basically water based formulas first, then oil based formulas
Sam Anderson I agree with your approach 👍

LOVED this video Doc!

Hi Dr, Mona I just discovered your channel thanks very informative.
Your videos are such gems to me. Unfortunately TH-cam keeps unsubscribing me.
I have been using a chemical exfoliating scrub for month but it didn't work for me.Your view towards two types of exfoliator really helps me understand what is right for me. I thought each exfoliator works same. And obviously I like how you express yourself.
Psychologists call themselves doctors too , Dr Mona is not misleading anyone 🤔
She's a pharmacist too
Could you share some nice tips for dry skin with acne. It is so difficult to maintain in a balance. I would really appreciate that :) Best wishes
Paula Wilk yes will do :)

Thankew Dr. Mona... can u please post a video on how to treat open pores to make them small ❤

Plenty of the SPF will be sprayed into the air (along with your money!). If you are truly interested in getting the full benefits of an SPF, do not use spray on products.
Aaaaannnnddddd I just added the Supergoop setting spray to my cart for the VIB sale. I was wondering about that one, thanks for sharing!
Love the tips, thank you.
I love and appreciate all the skin tips you share with us ❤️u’re the real MVP 👍🏼💃🏽

help!! should i go for the Elta MD or the first aid beauty 5 in 1 sunscreen? which one would you recommend? i noticed you have both 💕
I trusted you until you mentioned baking soda! How can you recommend putting that on anyone's face? Definitely not safe or good for skin, especially sensitive types. :O
I agree.. I got a horrible breakout using this on my face. Not the best for sensitive skin
Hi Dr. Vand
I have super sensitive and a little rosacea ! Which serum will be good for me! Thank you 😊
Thank you, Dr. Mona for this video. Do you think you have two use two methods of exfoliation for the best results? I'm using Good Genes nightly and was moving towards stopping a physical exfoliator or just using it on my neck and chest.

Thanks Dr. Mona! I'd like to try the EXFOLIKATE, thanks for the links! If I use just that product for exfoliation still 3x per week? I was thinking in the shower in the AM or at night. Not sure if you would recommend one or the other. I also use drying acne products (duac AM and differin PM).
Do you think toner is necessary? Does it really removes water residue like chlorine etc.
Happy new subscriber. What are your thoughts on medical grade skincare vs. the department store/brand skincare?
i like your skin , so youthful and healthier . can u give a details your skin care. is ain ‘t enuff
FYI: The exfolikate is actually a physical AND chemical exfoliant.

Hi Dr. Mona. I have a question that relates to Dry vs. Dehydrated skin and it relates to my hands. They look so dry, wrinkly and crepey. What would you do to bring your hands back to soft and supple life?
When should we use serums.. Before or after sunscreen
I love this 💕💕
Hi
Dr.mona
What do you suggest to put on first the sun cream then sleeping mask.
would it be okay to mix a tinted moisturizer and sunscreen or a face tint with sunscreen?
Hi should I use moisturiser first then sunscreen after?
how do you use chemical exfoleter last step in your skin care routine or after washing your face direct ? ? ? ? ???????????????????
hi, I'm 24 years old, wouldn't it be too harsh to use vitamin c serum on my skin too early?
Every sunscreen I've ever tried even non comedogenic makes me break out:( what do you recommend for very acne prone skin?
