Hi. I am seriously thinking about one of your tips-- decrease sugar intake. I had been eating LOADS of sugar and carbohydrates, which your body converts to sugar, as I understand. I noticed a change in my skin-- more fine lines, cloudy looking skin, and thickened skin. I'm getting control over my eating addiction, and I hope my skin will improve.
Mark Twain was also a man who was never forced to seek out beauty, like most men aren't. So I don't really care what empty platitude he said.

I'm here freaking out over turning 25. I put so much of my worth in my appearance that the other day I broke down in tears realizing I would be old and wrinkly someday. This video gave me a wake up call. Aging IS a privilege, and nobody would care if I was wrinkled if they truly love me. Thanks Doc.
That’s why you need to use your beauty while you have it because once it’s gone… you’ll lose any chance of obtaining certain things. Your early 20s are the time to get the best career, best man, etc
@@MB-xv7er who lied to you maah?? Soo many ladies have destroyed their lives mainly for playing using their looks..you are wild..the looks are your devine looking,for your family for you..the moment you will sell your looks to the world without mental strength you will be done..you come here to africa where beautiful ladies wake up with 5children no career and live to beg ugly monster men to even feed them..ohhh but they were once beautiful when these same rich men went to them..a man will eat your beauty in just 2years..and it will be gone
@@MB-xv7er you don’t “lose any chance”, that’s just more fear mongering about getting old. Plenty of older people change careers or get remarried after their fifties.
Thank you, thank you, thank you....I “try” to explain to my peer group (70+) that we will NEVER have the face we had in our 20’s. I want to age gracefully and embrace the changes. Just enhance whatcha got. The beauty industry counts on scare tactics and how you can’t live a full life without the whitest teeth, smoothest skin, colored hair, etc. and they are making a ton of money off those fears. Save your dough and use it to travel, treat the kids/grandkids...whatever. I’m loving this channel!
And to take care of yourself both mentally and physically, people are so obsessed with apparence they tend to neglect their health, take care of your food, your muscles, your mental to not get overwhelmed with all the stressful events in this life, it’s key to better aging :)
We need more dermatologists with this thinking. My derm recommended that I get botox in my 20s and that made me more self-conscious and insecure. Thank you for this!
I think that is criminal. I have never had any fillers or botox and everybody thinks I am in my early 30s, but I am almost 50. I have used wonderful skincare products all my life, stay out of the sun or wear sunscreen, drink loads of water and don't drink or smoke.

I am 74. My skin looks pretty good. I've never had skin cancer. I have never worn sunscreen. It didn't even exist when I was a kid. I am going to start wearing sunscreen. That picture of the truck driver .....WOW. That brings home a strong message. I have some lines. I don't try to cover them up. I don't ever wear foundation. I can't stand it. I have earned my lines. One thing I have to share. A dear friend of mine wasn't a water drinker. (she's 3 years younger than I am). Several years ago, her face was heavily lined. I explained the importance of drinking sufficient water daily. She started doing that. The next time I saw her, months later, the change in her beautiful face was amazing. The deep lines had softened significantly !
Sixty years old and daily collagen supplementation has FIXED my painful knee joints. When I go off it (ran out, couldn't find it in the shop) my feeling of weakness and pain in my knees when climbing stairs comes back. After a few days on the collagen again, much reduced 'awareness' of my knees when climbing stairs, sometimes it's like being young again. Also my nails got much smoother and don't constantly chip and break. I haven't noticed anything special with my skin since taking collagen, but it definitely does two noticeably good things for my body. I won't stop taking it. I need to climb stairs, and collagen supplementation literally lets me live in a building without an elevator.
May I ask you what collagen supplements you recommend. I have horrible knee and hip pain especially when using steps during the day. Thank you in advance
Collagen is amino acids. You just don’t eat enough chicken meat or eggs - because of that, once you started to take collagen then you see the results. People who eat well, don’t need collagen.
We looooove Kelly Driscoll!! Such a sweet gentle soul. She has done much much more for my 60year old acne and hyperpigmentation ridden skin than anyone else.
You are only as old as you feel…I don’t feel 55. You are so right about not giving a shit! I just started skin care and do it because it my me time and I enjoy it. Other than my dark patches, I think my skin looks pretty good for my age. I don’t stare at the mirror looking for new lines. I want to make sure I use things that are good for my skin so I turn to you. Thanks for making my me time fun ♥️
I am 57 . I tortured /ignored my skin all my life . I just started my skin care journey and am using SPF every day. You are an amazing wealth of information . I am "pro aging" and I thank you for all your help!
I just learned about you and have binged your videos more than Netflix. Can you please do a video just focused on rosacea recommendations? Thank you!!!!
I love your take on aging. I feel more confident now with no makeup, then I did at 20 with a full face of makeup and hair done. Aging brings wisdom and a confidence you have earned through years of life.
It's so fascinating how quickly my outbreaks stopped and I got cured permanently from HSV 1&2. All thanks to @Draloha1 th-cam.com/channels/_YFEEZEr1BxGkNg1d4vqww.html ♥️🧡🇺🇸
Skincare Ingredients: Hydrating - Glycerin = non irritating humectant - Urea = humectant & keratolytic (less than 10% moisturizing; 10-20% just a bit moisturizing) - beta glucan= prevent trans epidermal water loss Collagen Stimulating - Vit C = anti oxidant, help repair skin - AHA (glycolic) = increase collagen production - Vit A = stimulate collagen production Peptides & Growth Factor - next video
@@mariaschinz515 I think it was that both are good. Under 10% it’s more like glycerin for hydration, and if you are already “older”, 10-20% can help with age thickened skin, like an exfoliant.
I love this anti “anti-age” comment!!! I’ve been saying this for 15 years! I’ve been an Aesthetician for over 25 years and I have never liked the term “anti-age” either! I replaced it many years ago with the term “PRO age”. This more adequately describes what we ALL are trying to accomplish! I want to age well. Not fight it! Rather FLOW with the aging cycle gracefully but by no means without tools! No I don’t mean injectables or surgery!! Follow this true and logical skincare advice from the good doctor and you will be rewarded with a beautiful complexion you can see and feel- more importantly- if you embrace your maturity you’ll be beautiful from the inside out with your confidence glowing from your eyes!
I've never met a dermatologist with bad skin - I'd trust you guys with my skin for sure!! I would have thought you'd be in your late twenties, and was SO surprised to hear you're actually in your late thirties!!! x
I started using Bioderma’s Atoderm crème and it saved my skin! It doesn’t have HA 😊 it mostly has water, Glycerin, also little bit of Niacinamide and it’s fragrance free. I used it on my atopic skin🤧 and it worked. PS: your advice has saved my skin 🥺🥺
My gramps always said, "when you hear the truth, it can't not make sense...if it doesn't, you're just not listening." I really like your matter-of-fact, no nonsense, honest approach to your craft. I subscribed because we share same views on aging and the ridiculous term, "anti aging." Cheers. You are so refreshing.
A lot of people done understand the importance of wearing sunscreen and reapplying if you’re not going to be out in the sun for an extended period of time. People think that if they are just driving to the grocery store they don’t need sunscreen and I’m happy you are telling them to STOP LYING TO THEMSELVES.
wearing sunglasses in the car and outside helps a lot for me from squinting and blocking that light into my eyes. i think that’s also an important way we can combat fine lines around the eyes! (and also wearing gloves in the car)
Totally understand grandmother response because that’s how I feel. I don’t care what other people think. I care what I think about myself. If I look in the mirror and think to myself that I am aging gracefully that puts a smile on my face and makes me feel good. I don’t want to look younger than what I am. I want to look nice for my age.
The white shirt analogy is probably the best way to describe how I feel about aging 😯 I don’t judge older women’s lines and wrinkles when I see them, if anything I think they add more characters to their faces, but still I want to take care of the skin very well regardless of how different I look 30 years from now
I'm seriously blown away by how much knowledge you have on this! I'm 33 years old, don't look a day over 20 but really wanted to educate myself further on what I can do to maintain the youthful skin I have. Thank you soo much for sharing your knowledge and time with us Doctor Shereene and Godbless you and your family!! ❤
Love watching your videos Shereene from Germany 🇩🇪! I am 39. For the past few years I am using more and more South Korean and Japanese skincare products and I really like them. They are relatively cheaper and as effective as the costly European/American products. Would be great to hear your expert view about them🙏🏼🌈
I agree (except for French and Swiss skincare products which tends to be highly effective for the most different skin types… American ones I would say it depends specially bc in American continent we’re going through so many information at once so many are good and many are not)!!
Sherine thanks for starting out with banishing anti-aging. Please help us embrace aging. I love grandmas’ shirt illustration. Please expand on your feelings about facelifts. Thanks!
She is so pretty. And thank you for the explanation. I am heading my 40s and struggling with accepting the changes of my face and body. I feel better after listening to you!
This was absolutely amazing!!!! Great content!!! I am 50 and this was absolutely empowering!!!! I have a granny 96 years old who still wakes up moisturizes and uses sunscreen puts on that beautiful red lip and i love it!!!! Thank you for this excellent video😘
WOW!@@allisonfenton2565 who are any of us to judge anyone's journey? Did you survive childhood trauma, or whatever got this person to where they are ( I try to make no assumptions)? You don't know their story (nor or I yours) This was actually a very brave and vulnerable question to ask and judgemental and dismissive responses are not helpful. This question is not helpful to people that are living a very different experience than you are. They are seeking advice to live a better life and dismissing their real lived traumas is not helpful. I honestly wish nothing less than the best for you and also the person that asked this question...and genuinely all of us are just trying to figure it out. Life isn't easy, let's just help each other along.
I’m not her, so forgive me for butting in. I wanted to share personal experience. I used to drink heavily as well. Due to health reasons I started to cut back, and went four months completely alcohol free. After 3 months alcohol free I got constant compliments from people in my “glowing skin” and saying how much younger I looked. Everyone was asking me what I was doing differently. I drink occasionally, and when I do, I wake up puffy and red splotchy skin, eye bags, droopy eyes. It takes a toll and it does show on the skin. I hope this helps.
@@justasksally Neostrata Glycolic Renewal Smoothing Cream (8% Glycolic Acid). Paula's Choice also has an Exfoliating gel with the same concentration, ideal for once a week use.
I love your kind, easy going demeanor. How you admit that you yourself are not perfect and for example you don't drink as much water as you should or cut out all sugar etc. Thank you for being REAL!!!
You're such a breath of fresh air! Thank you for your HONESTY. We're all trying our best to do our best and while looking our best at the same time! Keep being amazing :)
Thank you! It’s my philosophy to age with grace and seamlessly (it’s what I’ve learned from my grandmother). It’s something that I’m teaching my 13 year old daughter. Love thy self by eating healthy, exercise, and taking care of your skin (face and body). My daughter has taken notice how everyone else looks versus her mother. Granted that I come from a family that age well and people never know our real ages.
I had a couple of fine lip lines that I was unhappy with and I noticed that with the consistent use of a good sunscreen (spf 40, IS Clinical, folks), would you believe, they have almost disappeared. I am astounded, not to mention, extremely thankful.
I heard some YT’er (maybe Wayne Goss) tell about a study, where people should guess the age of different persons - and it turned out, that it was not lines and wrinkles, that made people think that a person was older, but an uneven skintone…🤔
Yes I saw this too, they took out the wrinkles on a photo and the person looked no younger, then they took out the pigmentation but left the wrinkles in and the person looked younger
Thank you so much for this video! I’m 44 and trying desperately to keep myself from freaking out when seeing fine lines....while dealing with melasma. 🙂
I really appreciate your approach in terms of importance of sleep, nutrition and not fear mongering about the sun. I know we should all wear our 30+ SPF daily, and I do on my face, but I think it's also healthy to get 10-20 minutes of sun on your arms/legs a day depending on where you live and time of year. I wish the US would follow the same kind of recommendations Australia does regarding sun exposure.
I don't remember where I heard this, but I think I read somewhere that the most important sun exposure is in the eyes- we need to see strong sunlight at the correct times of day, at least for small periods of time, to regulate circadian rhythms. For absorption, independent of sunscreen, (besides the ~2% you still receive under sunscreen), you'll get sun exposure on your scalp, under your clothes, through your eyes; even more so if you go out into direct sun for a good half hour a day to have some tea. So I think you can have the best of both worlds without compromising sun protection. I appreciate your comment, because I agree and feel the biological importance of sun exposure gets forgotten sometimes after all the discussion of skin cancer and skincare! Shereen is saying be sensible, not be terrified.
I would love if you can make a video on Barrier Repaired Skin and a whole routine on treating sensitive skin that cannot tolerate Retinol for people who cannot seem to maintain a healthy barrier .
Yes. I ruined my skin over the winter here in lockdown (Ireland), using a Retinol. Found a lovely Irish skincare brand that simplifies everything. They use Atlantic seaweed. Use a cruelty free moisturiser with ceramides under my spf also.
I got micro-needling & laser skin tightening done and that was honestly really good for rejuvenating my skin and reducing some of my wrinkles. I mean, obviously it's not a cure for aging, but it reversed some of the damage I had from the sun!!I never used to really wear sunscreen, so now that I got those treatments done I put 2 types of SPF50 sunscreens on my face every day lmao
Hello Dr.shereen... I've been part of your nerd family for quiet a time, and I've been really happy to encounter with your knowledgeable and easy-to-understand videos no late. I'll be a lot grateful if you would try to recommend the products which are available in or atleast for the Pakistani population since I belong to Pakistan and its been really difficult to manage the products you have had listed. I'm really thankful to you overall. -Dr. Aden
Your show just keeps getting better and better Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in such a fun and wonderful way. I have been a skincare junkie for A LONG TIME but you have enlightened me in many ways, KEEP IT COMING AND THANK YOU!!
I love the screw anti-aging!! We lost a really good friend who died unexpectedly at 18. And I’ve struggled with depression and things that go along with that for years. Those two things really impacted me to embrace aging.
I have been buying full range / set of products that I realised don't need as advised by sales or beauty advisors for more than a decade. Thanks to you Dr, I simplified my skin care, saved a lot of money / time and have better looking skin. Much love from Malaysia
Honestly I'm soo done all these youtubers calling hey beauties/angels/butterflies/kittycats blah blah. Thisss is now what we wanna hear just simple n real little nerds🤓🤭
Could you do a video explaining rosacea? I got diagnosed with it yesterday and have been battling with it for years. I’m kind of lost regarding what products I can and cannot use and what treatment options are. I’m at a point where I’m scared to try anything new because I have no overview on skincare anymore. I love your videos btw! ❤️
hi shereene! this video was super helpful. i want to make a video suggestion based on your final comments about dermatologists - can you do a video on finding a dermatologist? how to look for one, do we need a referral, etc. it's super intimidating but as someone in their mid-20's, it's important to me to be as proactive as possible.
I LOVE YOU!!!!! You instantly make me feel happier hearing your voice. I am sooo, so stoked that we get this information from a top, top level expert. Thank you Dr Idriss for all of your effort ( skin care line in the works..??) and thank the gods for the internets and its wonders!
Dr. Idriss, I would LOVE a video on what to expect at a derm visit. I would love to go in (24 y/o) but I feel like I chicken out for cosmetic consultations and opt to make appointments more for my dermatitis since it’s an actual issue rather than just cosmetic. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I also feel bad about bringing up ALL of my concerns in one go. TLDR; would love a video on how to bring up cosmetic issues with a derm and what to expect from a consultation when you have multiple concerns (acne scars, “anti-aging”, milia, etc)
This is a great recommendation... it would be helpful to know what to expect, what questions to ask, and what red flags to be mindful of that maybe that office isn’t focused on the same things you are
Omg I have developed tech neck over the last 2 years. I hate it and all those so called facial exercises are useless. I wish she would do a video on this.
Dr Idriss you don't look like you've been practicing for a decade, you look fresh out of med school. 😉Maybe you can do a video on underrated ingredients and products that have them? Urea, panthenol, etc? I love urea in all concentrations, super useful and versatile ingredient. Especially the 40% urea cream, great for calluses.
Thanks for your real talk about aging, it is so helpful to hear objective information rather than fear-mongering. Can you do a longer video about nutrition and skin and hair health? It is hard to sift through the pseudo-science out there on this. Thanks!
You’re the first person I’ve heard mention that a silk pillow case makes you feel too hot to sleep. I have had the same experience and your statement was validating. I was thinking it was just me.
So much more wisdom: AGREE I’m a 42 y/o male, and I’d completely and totally agree with you on the older we get the wiser we get. A quick example- I’m making (income) less money at 42 years old (50% less) than what I was making 15 & 20 years ago - because I don’t work as much (less work load), yet I’m saving more money now than I’ve ever saved. Why? Because I’m much wiser…
Would you recommend people in their mid 20s take collagen supplements or would that do anything? Also love that, the term anti ageing is so toxic, ageing is a privilege because you get to live a long life!
Love the scientific detail in your videos and the easy to understand explanations :D Please could you do a similar video for preventing redness/angiogenesis? I think this is something a lot of people suffer with, including myself, but is discussed a lot less than wrinkles. Much love x
Hi Dr. Idriss, Can you record a video talking about microcurrent devices? I was so glad to hear you saying in the end of your video that they work as long as you are compliant. I bought a NuFace device a few months ago and I am in love with it. I truly see improvements, not sure it’s from the device itself, the instant plump I get from the serum, or just a lymphatic drainage I get. But regardless, I love it. However I see dermatologists on TH-cam saying there is no research that back it up and probably doesn’t work. Thank you.
I just found you!! You are a walking example of good skin. You said you have a been practicing for over a decade but yet you look soo young. I wanna be just like you when I grow up!😁. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Hi I’m Elia from Indonesia! I can't tell you how much I appreciate your videos. As your truest skin nerd🤓, I would love to hear more about specific skin problems and 10 top ingredients to preventing and tackling it (e.g milia, textured skin, etc). Thank you and have a wonderful weekend Dr. Shereene Idriss🥂❤️✨
Doc, I have rosacea and I have to be specifically careful in summer and I was told by my dermatologist to always use an SPF 50 (I use Eucerin) and that I should reapply every hour or two because that's when the protection element starts to fade and it's not enough to only put an SPF cream once a day but rather a couple of times. To reapply, I always feel the need to wash my face first, so in the end, I come out as hypochondriac, washing my face a few times a day and putting the SPF and I can't stop because I believe that's the right way to do 😭
Hey Dr. Shereene. If you're gonna make a video about growth factors, please show us some studies/proof if it does relate to skin-cancer or not. Thanks!
I was such a terrible side sleeper that my nose was literally pushed, now that I’ve stopped sleeping on my side, my nose is slowly centering. Next issue I had, I woke up one morning with my right shoulder numb. It took over one year, steroid shots to my neck etc to be mobile again in my arm. I still can’t do cross-finger without a bit of struggle, but I don’t sweat it. I recently purchased the sleepandglow pillow, it helps not to get wrinkles. It’s designed by chiropractors I think. Anyway, I have had it about a mth now and I like it a lot. It’s also designed to help train you to sleep on your back. Check it out!
I've just come to terms a ways back and excepting my age and being okay to say it out loud! ☺️ I'm determined that I will not let society or these Instagram filters take away the joy aging! LOL Thank you Lovely 🙏🏽 ❤️Maddy
Can you do a video on puffy under-eye bags? I have bags but very little darkness under my eyes and I find concealer only makes my under-eye fine lines more evident and doesn’t necessarily hide the bags. Thank you!
I literally say that all the time! “I want to age, what is the alternative? Your a non breather”😬 I’m just saying🤷🏽♀️So I love that we are changing the terminology about “anti-aging”, there is a beauty and grace to age that we don’t value as a society. I hope small changes like the way we view aging, will create a more positive space for the older, more well season generation in general. 💗
I keep saying to myself and to literally everyone I know: AGING IS A PRIVILEGE. We take it for granted, and have come to despise it, but we shouldn't. There are so many people who didn't get the chance to age, and we should keep it in mind.

Tips for preventing fine lines and wrinkles:
Sunscreen
Sleep on your back
Silk pillowcase
Diet rich in anti oxidants eg leafy greens, blue berries, mangoes, and proteins eg eggs
Avocado oil increases type II collagen
Decrease sugar intake - in moderation
Hydration - drinking water
Skin care:
beware of hyaluronic acid,
Hydrating agents
Glycerin
Urea 10%
Beta glucan
Collagen stimulating ingredients :
Vitamin C
Alpha hydroxy acids
Vit A
Peptides and growth factors
LED lights
Microcurrent devices
Hi. I am seriously thinking about one of your tips-- decrease sugar intake. I had been eating LOADS of sugar and carbohydrates, which your body converts to sugar, as I understand.

why not hyaluronic acid?
She has a videos on hyaluronic acid. It's quite drying and you should be careful 8f you have sensitive skin

Love her!
We looooove Kelly Driscoll!!
Such a sweet gentle soul. She has done much much more for my 60year old acne and hyperpigmentation ridden skin than anyone else.
Yes! She has me using this term, too!
Oh I like it....
Is she on YT?
At 76, I'm still alive, & for that I am thankful. Love your videos, very funny/informative...
You are only as old as you feel…I don’t feel 55. You are so right about not giving a shit! I just started skin care and do it because it my me time and I enjoy it. Other than my dark patches, I think my skin looks pretty good for my age. I don’t stare at the mirror looking for new lines. I want to make sure I use things that are good for my skin so I turn to you. Thanks for making my me time fun ♥️
Exactly!!💕
I am 57 . I tortured /ignored my skin all my life . I just started my skin care journey and am using SPF every day. You are an amazing wealth of information . I am "pro aging" and I thank you for all your help!
I just learned about you and have binged your videos more than Netflix. Can you please do a video just focused on rosacea recommendations? Thank you!!!!
Yes would love that too!
It would be great! Rosacea is a very complicated matter...
Yes please!
Please!!!!!
Yes!! That would be so helpful
I love the holistic discussion. The mentality of aging, the external factors, products to use, etc. This video is a 5 course meal. *chef’s kiss*
I love your take on aging. I feel more confident now with no makeup, then I did at 20 with a full face of makeup and hair done. Aging brings wisdom and a confidence you have earned through years of life.
It's so fascinating how quickly my outbreaks stopped and I got cured permanently from HSV 1&2. All thanks to @Draloha1 th-cam.com/channels/_YFEEZEr1BxGkNg1d4vqww.html ♥️🧡🇺🇸
Skincare Ingredients:
Hydrating
- Glycerin = non irritating humectant
- Urea = humectant & keratolytic (less than 10% moisturizing; 10-20% just a bit moisturizing)
- beta glucan= prevent trans epidermal water loss
Collagen Stimulating
- Vit C = anti oxidant, help repair skin
- AHA (glycolic) = increase collagen production
- Vit A = stimulate collagen production
Peptides & Growth Factor - next video
Question: is Urea 10% better or 20% Which one do we want for anti aging? I didn't quite get it.
@@mariaschinz515 I think it was that both are good. Under 10% it’s more like glycerin for hydration, and if you are already “older”, 10-20% can help with age thickened skin, like an exfoliant.
I love this anti “anti-age” comment!!! I’ve been saying this for 15 years! I’ve been an Aesthetician for over 25 years and I have never liked the term “anti-age” either! I replaced it many years ago with the term “PRO age”. This more adequately describes what we ALL are trying to accomplish! I want to age well.
Not fight it! Rather FLOW with the aging cycle gracefully but by no means without tools! No I don’t mean injectables or surgery!! Follow this true and logical skincare advice from the good doctor and you will be rewarded with a beautiful complexion you can see and feel- more importantly- if you embrace your maturity you’ll be beautiful from the inside out with your confidence glowing from your eyes!
I've never met a dermatologist with bad skin - I'd trust you guys with my skin for sure!! I would have thought you'd be in your late twenties, and was SO surprised to hear you're actually in your late thirties!!! x
I started using Bioderma’s Atoderm crème and it saved my skin! It doesn’t have HA 😊 it mostly has water, Glycerin, also little bit of Niacinamide and it’s fragrance free. I used it on my atopic skin🤧 and it worked.
PS: your advice has saved my skin 🥺🥺
My gramps always said, "when you hear the truth, it can't not make sense...if it doesn't, you're just not listening."
I really like your matter-of-fact, no nonsense, honest approach to your craft.
I subscribed because we share same views on aging and the ridiculous term, "anti aging."
Cheers. You are so refreshing.
Thank you for sharing the story about your grandmother. I will never forget it.
A lot of people done understand the importance of wearing sunscreen and reapplying if you’re not going to be out in the sun for an extended period of time. People think that if they are just driving to the grocery store they don’t need sunscreen and I’m happy you are telling them to STOP LYING TO THEMSELVES.
wearing sunglasses in the car and outside helps a lot for me from squinting and blocking that light into my eyes. i think that’s also an important way we can combat fine lines around the eyes! (and also wearing gloves in the car)
Totally understand grandmother response because that’s how I feel. I don’t care what other people think. I care what I think about myself. If I look in the mirror and think to myself that I am aging gracefully that puts a smile on my face and makes me feel good. I don’t want to look younger than what I am. I want to look nice for my age.
Yes! I'm 35 but I think it's also important to not shame people for wanting to look good and feel good i.e. calling it "vain"
Does anybody get the feeling of dr. Idriss look like could be in a magazine cover...no retouching ...just her thumbnail 😍
The white shirt analogy is probably the best way to describe how I feel about aging 😯 I don’t judge older women’s lines and wrinkles when I see them, if anything I think they add more characters to their faces, but still I want to take care of the skin very well regardless of how different I look 30 years from now
I'm seriously blown away by how much knowledge you have on this! I'm 33 years old, don't look a day over 20 but really wanted to educate myself further on what I can do to maintain the youthful skin I have. Thank you soo much for sharing your knowledge and time with us Doctor Shereene and Godbless you and your family!! ❤
I love that you take a realistic approach to skin
Your grandma is a wise women and put it in perfect context! Love it!
Love watching your videos Shereene from Germany 🇩🇪!
I am 39. For the past few years I am using more and more South Korean and Japanese skincare products and I really like them. They are relatively cheaper and as effective as the costly European/American products.
Would be great to hear your expert view about them🙏🏼🌈
The only sunscreen I buy are from korea and japan brands. The western brands are too greasy or leave a strong smell.
Any suggestions for Korean products/where you get them?
@@xlaw168 I used many Western brands and the ones I used were not
I agree (except for French and Swiss skincare products which tends to be highly effective for the most different skin types… American ones I would say it depends specially bc in American continent we’re going through so many information at once so many are good and many are not)!!
@@xlaw168 where do you purchase these products? Thank you
Sherine thanks for starting out with banishing anti-aging. Please help us embrace aging. I love grandmas’ shirt illustration. Please expand on your feelings about facelifts. Thanks!
She is so pretty. And thank you for the explanation. I am heading my 40s and struggling with accepting the changes of my face and body. I feel better after listening to you!
This was absolutely amazing!!!!
Great content!!! I am 50 and this was absolutely empowering!!!!
I have a granny 96 years old who still wakes up moisturizes and uses sunscreen puts on that beautiful red lip and i love it!!!!
Thank you for this excellent video😘
Is it possible that you'd ever do a video of the effects of alcohol on our skin? As a heavy drinker, but skincare enthusiast, I'd love it.
cheers!
Alcohol effects your whole body not just your skin.. What would be the goal of the video ?
WOW!@@allisonfenton2565 who are any of us to judge anyone's journey? Did you survive childhood trauma, or whatever got this person to where they are ( I try to make no assumptions)? You don't know their story (nor or I yours) This was actually a very brave and vulnerable question to ask and judgemental and dismissive responses are not helpful. This question is not helpful to people that are living a very different experience than you are. They are seeking advice to live a better life and dismissing their real lived traumas is not helpful. I honestly wish nothing less than the best for you and also the person that asked this question...and genuinely all of us are just trying to figure it out. Life isn't easy, let's just help each other along.
I’m not her, so forgive me for butting in. I wanted to share personal experience. I used to drink heavily as well. Due to health reasons I started to cut back, and went four months completely alcohol free. After 3 months alcohol free I got constant compliments from people in my “glowing skin” and saying how much younger I looked. Everyone was asking me what I was doing differently. I drink occasionally, and when I do, I wake up puffy and red splotchy skin, eye bags, droopy eyes. It takes a toll and it does show on the skin. I hope this helps.
She is stunningly gorgeous.
Such natural beauty.
Your grandma is the best! Much respect and great info dr. Idriss 💕
This woman has saved me a lot of money
I’m 35 and I can say that glycolic acid changed my life. Also adapalene and benzoyl peroxide together are boom for acne 😍.
What glycolic product do you use?
May I know what form of glycolic acid you use x
I'm almost 35 and for me it was Differin that got me started on my well aging journey. Now I own so much sunscreen. 😄
Me too, glycolic acid is a total game changer
@@justasksally Neostrata Glycolic Renewal Smoothing Cream (8% Glycolic Acid). Paula's Choice also has an Exfoliating gel with the same concentration, ideal for once a week use.
I love your kind, easy going demeanor. How you admit that you yourself are not perfect and for example you don't drink as much water as you should or cut out all sugar etc. Thank you for being REAL!!!
Your videos made me change up my entire routine and my skin has never looked better. Pls keep these videos coming! 😌
I love whenever she brings up hydration, and I know she is gonna talk about hyaluronic acid !! I adore her xo
You're such a breath of fresh air! Thank you for your HONESTY. We're all trying our best to do our best and while looking our best at the same time! Keep being amazing :)
I can't stress this enough, but can we just appreciate how breath taking she looks? She is way more beautiful than so many celeb these days
Thank you! It’s my philosophy to age with grace and seamlessly (it’s what I’ve learned from my grandmother). It’s something that I’m teaching my 13 year old daughter. Love thy self by eating healthy, exercise, and taking care of your skin (face and body). My daughter has taken notice how everyone else looks versus her mother. Granted that I come from a family that age well and people never know our real ages.
I had a couple of fine lip lines that I was unhappy with and I noticed that with the consistent use of a good sunscreen (spf 40, IS Clinical, folks), would you believe, they have almost disappeared. I am astounded, not to mention, extremely thankful.
I heard some YT’er (maybe Wayne Goss) tell about a study, where people should guess the age of different persons - and it turned out, that it was not lines and wrinkles, that made people think that a person was older, but an uneven skintone…🤔
Dr Idriss says that too in her hyperpigmentation video
Yes I saw this too, they took out the wrinkles on a photo and the person looked no younger, then they took out the pigmentation but left the wrinkles in and the person looked younger
Thank you so much for this video! I’m 44 and trying desperately to keep myself from freaking out when seeing fine lines....while dealing with melasma. 🙂
I really appreciate your approach in terms of importance of sleep, nutrition and not fear mongering about the sun. I know we should all wear our 30+ SPF daily, and I do on my face, but I think it's also healthy to get 10-20 minutes of sun on your arms/legs a day depending on where you live and time of year. I wish the US would follow the same kind of recommendations Australia does regarding sun exposure.
I don't remember where I heard this, but I think I read somewhere that the most important sun exposure is in the eyes- we need to see strong sunlight at the correct times of day, at least for small periods of time, to regulate circadian rhythms. For absorption, independent of sunscreen, (besides the ~2% you still receive under sunscreen), you'll get sun exposure on your scalp, under your clothes, through your eyes; even more so if you go out into direct sun for a good half hour a day to have some tea. So I think you can have the best of both worlds without compromising sun protection. I appreciate your comment, because I agree and feel the biological importance of sun exposure gets forgotten sometimes after all the discussion of skin cancer and skincare! Shereen is saying be sensible, not be terrified.
I watch this to remind myself the beauty of how lucky i am at nearly 48....and how happy i am..hence the lines from smiling. Thank you.
Watching this being 24 and it's so nice to hear such words about aging ❤💗❤💗❤
Thank God I got into my right mind and became serious about skincare when I was 24.
I would love if you can make a video on Barrier Repaired Skin and a whole routine on treating sensitive skin that cannot tolerate Retinol for people who cannot seem to maintain a healthy barrier .
Yes. I ruined my skin over the winter here in lockdown (Ireland), using a Retinol. Found a lovely Irish skincare brand that simplifies everything. They use Atlantic seaweed. Use a cruelty free moisturiser with ceramides under my spf also.
Awesome!! Thank you sooo much! I’m 70 and won’t ever quit trying to look my best.
I got micro-needling & laser skin tightening done and that was honestly really good for rejuvenating my skin and reducing some of my wrinkles. I mean, obviously it's not a cure for aging, but it reversed some of the damage I had from the sun!!I never used to really wear sunscreen, so now that I got those treatments done I put 2 types of SPF50 sunscreens on my face every day lmao
I WISH I was watching this at 15 so I could learn at a young age 😂 ...
Don’t roll your eyes, be grateful for this opportunity
Hello Dr.shereen...
I've been part of your nerd family for quiet a time, and I've been really happy to encounter with your knowledgeable and easy-to-understand videos no late.
I'll be a lot grateful if you would try to recommend the products which are available in or atleast for the Pakistani population since I belong to Pakistan and its been really difficult to manage the products you have had listed.
I'm really thankful to you overall.
-Dr. Aden
If there's just one TH-cam channel , I literally feel like commenting and showering love is thisss
Love love ❤Love
Your show just keeps getting better and better Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in such a fun and wonderful way. I have been a skincare junkie for A LONG TIME but you have enlightened me in many ways, KEEP IT COMING AND THANK YOU!!
I love the screw anti-aging!! We lost a really good friend who died unexpectedly at 18. And I’ve struggled with depression and things that go along with that for years. Those two things really impacted me to embrace aging.
For peptides, I love love love The Inkey List peptide moisturizer. My skin drinks up that stuff like crazy! Only $14.99
I have been buying full range / set of products that I realised don't need as advised by sales or beauty advisors for more than a decade. Thanks to you Dr, I simplified my skin care, saved a lot of money / time and have better looking skin. Much love from Malaysia
Hahaha I love it when she calls us little nerds 🤣
I don't
@@sallymj5588 ok.
@Sally jm 🙄
Honestly I'm soo done all these youtubers calling hey beauties/angels/butterflies/kittycats blah blah. Thisss is now what we wanna hear just simple n real little nerds🤓🤭
@@shaneshadowcat I'm 68. Not a nerd
Could you do a video explaining rosacea? I got diagnosed with it yesterday and have been battling with it for years. I’m kind of lost regarding what products I can and cannot use and what treatment options are. I’m at a point where I’m scared to try anything new because I have no overview on skincare anymore. I love your videos btw! ❤️
hi shereene! this video was super helpful. i want to make a video suggestion based on your final comments about dermatologists - can you do a video on finding a dermatologist? how to look for one, do we need a referral, etc. it's super intimidating but as someone in their mid-20's, it's important to me to be as proactive as possible.
I LOVE YOU!!!!! You instantly make me feel happier hearing your voice. I am sooo, so stoked that we get this information from a top, top level expert. Thank you Dr Idriss for all of your effort ( skin care line in the works..??) and thank the gods for the internets and its wonders!
Can you do a video breaking down all the the different kinds of lasers? Like ablative vs non ablative and micro needling with RF?
Dr. Idriss, I would LOVE a video on what to expect at a derm visit. I would love to go in (24 y/o) but I feel like I chicken out for cosmetic consultations and opt to make appointments more for my dermatitis since it’s an actual issue rather than just cosmetic. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I also feel bad about bringing up ALL of my concerns in one go.
TLDR; would love a video on how to bring up cosmetic issues with a derm and what to expect from a consultation when you have multiple concerns (acne scars, “anti-aging”, milia, etc)
This is a great recommendation... it would be helpful to know what to expect, what questions to ask, and what red flags to be mindful of that maybe that office isn’t focused on the same things you are
Love it, that you remind us that aging is normal and it's okay to eat sugar sometimes
What about "tech neck"? We need a video for this! Do you have preferred products for those pesky lines? HELP!
Omg I have developed tech neck over the last 2 years. I hate it and all those so called facial exercises are useless. I wish she would do a video on this.
Dr Idriss you don't look like you've been practicing for a decade, you look fresh out of med school. 😉Maybe you can do a video on underrated ingredients and products that have them? Urea, panthenol, etc? I love urea in all concentrations, super useful and versatile ingredient. Especially the 40% urea cream, great for calluses.
Best advice ever. First time watching your video and I love the way you approach the ideal of aging. I’m hooked.
Thank you! Grandmother is wise! Being older, I just want to be my best self…skin damage, wrinkles and all❤️
Thanks for your real talk about aging, it is so helpful to hear objective information rather than fear-mongering. Can you do a longer video about nutrition and skin and hair health? It is hard to sift through the pseudo-science out there on this. Thanks!
My favorite Dermatology channel!!!
Your content is awesome
You’re the first person I’ve heard mention that a silk pillow case makes you feel too hot to sleep. I have had the same experience and your statement was validating. I was thinking it was just me.
Loved this video, thanks Shereen! Could listen to you educating us about skincare all day! Please can we get a video on peptides / ceramides next?
So much more wisdom: AGREE
I’m a 42 y/o male, and I’d completely and totally agree with you on the older we get the wiser we get.
A quick example-
I’m making (income) less money at 42 years old (50% less) than what I was making 15 & 20 years ago - because I don’t work as much (less work load), yet I’m saving more money now than I’ve ever saved. Why? Because I’m much wiser…
Would you recommend people in their mid 20s take collagen supplements or would that do anything? Also love that, the term anti ageing is so toxic, ageing is a privilege because you get to live a long life!
damn why does sleeping on your side have to feel so good.
when we are fetuses we sleep on one side and our body remembers this posture
hehehehe my struggle too!
@@adorablebelle SAME 😭
it's ok - if you're sleeping, you're doing great :)
@@nithyakailad Haha exactly! If you’re getting 8 hours of sleep you’re good :)
Love the scientific detail in your videos and the easy to understand explanations :D Please could you do a similar video for preventing redness/angiogenesis? I think this is something a lot of people suffer with, including myself, but is discussed a lot less than wrinkles. Much love x
I recently stumbled upon you and can I just say you are my new favorite person...I just love you LBVS❤
Could you please talk about healthy hair and also about diet for good skin
Hi Dr. Idriss,
Can you record a video talking about microcurrent devices?
I was so glad to hear you saying in the end of your video that they work as long as you are compliant.
I bought a NuFace device a few months ago and I am in love with it. I truly see improvements, not sure it’s from the device itself, the instant plump I get from the serum, or just a lymphatic drainage I get. But regardless, I love it. However I see dermatologists on TH-cam saying there is no research that back it up and probably doesn’t work.
Thank you.
Hello 👋🏼🤩🙌🏽👏🏽. I am in LA and so wish I could see you for my skincare needs 😊
And you are looking prettier every time I see you 🥰

@@Megan6772 she is very beautiful and smart and witty 🥰. I also love soft pink looks angelical 😇
I just found you!! You are a walking example of good skin. You said you have a been practicing for over a decade but yet you look soo young. I wanna be just like you when I grow up!😁. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Hi I’m Elia from Indonesia! I can't tell you how much I appreciate your videos. As your truest skin nerd🤓, I would love to hear more about specific skin problems and 10 top ingredients to preventing and tackling it (e.g milia, textured skin, etc). Thank you and have a wonderful weekend Dr. Shereene Idriss🥂❤️✨
Like gurl!!! The art at her door!!! Can we just stop and admire that first!??? 🙃😇
Doc, I have rosacea and I have to be specifically careful in summer and I was told by my dermatologist to always use an SPF 50 (I use Eucerin) and that I should reapply every hour or two because that's when the protection element starts to fade and it's not enough to only put an SPF cream once a day but rather a couple of times. To reapply, I always feel the need to wash my face first, so in the end, I come out as hypochondriac, washing my face a few times a day and putting the SPF and I can't stop because I believe that's the right way to do 😭
Lllł
Hey Dr. Shereene. If you're gonna make a video about growth factors, please show us some studies/proof if it does relate to skin-cancer or not. Thanks!
Its 03:21am in other side of the world and I clicj the notification pop up right away, pause my netflix binge-watch 🤣
Ya, I'm in Ireland, finished watching the Eurovision song contest & decided to delay bedtime 🌙😴
I was such a terrible side sleeper that my nose was literally pushed, now that I’ve stopped sleeping on my side, my nose is slowly centering. Next issue I had, I woke up one morning with my right shoulder numb. It took over one year, steroid shots to my neck etc to be mobile again in my arm. I still can’t do cross-finger without a bit of struggle, but I don’t sweat it. I recently purchased the sleepandglow pillow, it helps not to get wrinkles. It’s designed by chiropractors I think. Anyway, I have had it about a mth now and I like it a lot. It’s also designed to help train you to sleep on your back. Check it out!
I literally get a doubt while using skin care and there you are My Fav Derm, guiding us all the time
Your videos are a blessing to us. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I've just come to terms a ways back and excepting my age and being okay to say it out loud! ☺️ I'm determined that I will not let society or these Instagram filters take away the joy aging! LOL
Thank you Lovely 🙏🏽
❤️Maddy
Can you do a video on puffy under-eye bags? I have bags but very little darkness under my eyes and I find concealer only makes my under-eye fine lines more evident and doesn’t necessarily hide the bags. Thank you!
I watch you from Mexico and I love to listen to you speaking Spanish ❤️❤️❤️ you are amazing 🤩🤩🤩🤩
I literally say that all the time! “I want to age, what is the alternative? Your a non breather”😬
I’m just saying🤷🏽♀️So I love that we are changing the terminology about “anti-aging”, there is a beauty and grace to age that we don’t value as a society. I hope small changes like the way we view aging, will create a more positive space for the older, more well season generation in general. 💗
I am proud to be one of Dr. Shereene Idriss's little nerds.
