Lol I actually had a long, miserable 40s, now I am 52 & finally healthy again and loving this decade :) there's a wonderful (eventually) part of getting wrinkles when you realize that there's no way to fully conceal/plump them any longer and you're much freer to focus on a healthy skin barrier & achieveable, health-oriented progress ❤️
Ingesting collagen is better than using topical creams. Topical collagen creams dosent penetrates into the skin because it's too large to be observed by thr skin. Also retinol is weaker than Tretinoin. Retinol is a derivative of Tretinoin. Please see ASAPScience anti aging video....
You sound terrific! My mom just turned 87 and has preached and practiced good skin care since I can remember. She still looks wonderful and I bet you do, too!🎉❤😊
I take collagen tablets because I have osteoarthritis and joint collagen & collagen helps keep me upright And helps skin/teeth/hair growth. Sunblock is an essential also.
I literally woke up at 52 / post menopause & didn’t even recognize myself! After menopause I looked like a different person. 😮 It was upsetting and scary. I decided to take steps and start a skin rejuvenation journey. Along with the original sleeping & glow pillow, I invested in a great skin care routine, and in-office treatments. I don’t regret spending one single penny! I feel like myself again.🙌
Yes please do. We seem to be the forgotten group yet we are very much alive and we need the same no nonsense approach that the younger groups get. You could throw in the 80s group too. Enjoying your videos from 🇨🇦. Thank you.
I just hit 70 and yes indeed it seems everything had gone south suddenly. I think stress has really made it worse but the plummeting hormone level is the main culprit. What I hate: you become invisible to people younger than yourself. Ladies 70 up you know what I mean!
I turned 70 in August and shockingly enough, I have no wrinkles at all. My daughter has them. I love your videos and my skin looks better e than ever . I do have LPP but it started when I was 18.
You know what. If you have wrinkles and I met you I'm not gonna pick your skin apart in my mind. Wrinkles are ok. They tell a story. They're beautiful. It's ok to AGE. This fear of aging is absolute overkill and not realistic ya know. You're gorgeous and I don't care about wrinkles or what you look like. Life is too short. The heart is what matters. ❤️🤗
@@mignonalverson655 I’m 71 & don’t take hormones due to health concerns. Don’t know any woman or man that looks same in 70’s as they did in their 30’s!! Yes, our society is obsessed with youth, but it isn’t end of the world! Take one day at a time, be grateful if u r healthy, enjoy nature more, and just age as gracefully as u can. Men get wrinkles too! I don’t remember my grandmothers wrinkles or my mothers saggy jaw, but I do remember their good hearts & kindness.
My husband’s dad was an avid smoker since he was a fourteen until maybe about 5-8 years ago in his 60’s. It saved his life and he’s still going strong. It’s really never too late to quit smoking, you can always improve. Best of luck to anyone out there who wants to put that cigarette down forever. ❤
Thanks for addressing sleep wrinkles. I have found my silk pillow case and type of pillow is very helpful. My best friend is not convinced that this is a real issue so I am going to share this with her since she does agree with me that your advice is trustworthy. Plus we are both over 50 so I am sure there will be other great tips for us!
I had to teach myself to sleep on my back. I had been a side sleeper all of my life. I still miss sleeping that way but not as much as I hated the sleep wrinkles lol.
@@jennifermarie8979 I also do this now… any helpful tricks for what to do with hair when you sleep on your back? So far I just sleep on it lmao, or put it in two braids.
You look so beautiful!!! I am 36, and I have been postmenopausal since age 25. You are absolutely correct. My hair is turning white (transparent white). My skin is getting dry, and it is very sensitive. You have helped me out tremendously throughout the years, and I genuinely want to say thank you Dr. Dray.
Do you mean pre- or post-menopausal? I was pre for a long time in my late 30s, so apparently that's early. I didn't mind because my cycle started when I was really young, so I was ready for it to end.
@@amyadams1653 I don't think that's an appropriate question. Its hard enough to go through something decades earlier than expected without the pressures put on women to have children.
My housekeeper's face skin looked awful. She's a sun worshiper, no sunscreen, age 51 and washed face with soap, no moisturizer. Few months ago I convinced her to make just 2 changes. Wash with Neutrogena hydro boost cleanser then moisturize with Neutrogena hydro boost moisturizer which I got for her. I notice today that she looks much better. And I just got her to say she'll use sunscreen, the last step of essential face care. I have a few, so I gave her one.
I could do an entire dissertation on this subject. 15 years post-menopause and the skin changes just keep coming. Mine started drying out in my late 20’s and menopause accelerated that process ten-fold. Since I’ve been seeing dermatologists since the age of three months (yes, extreme sensitivity also), I’m fairly familiar with the drill: moisturize, moisturize, moisturize…..it never ends. Fortunately science has vastly improved the quality, consistency, and effectiveness of products over my lifetime so there are many helpful choices out there. And Lucky us-we have Dr. Dray to help us navigate that universe. Thanks for all these terrific videos!
Thank you so much for this video! Growing up, no one ever talked about menopause--it was a taboo subject for no reason! When my mom went through it, she never talked about it, so a lot of these postmenopausal and perimenopausal changes were a surprise! (The acne, in particular!) And it really shouldn't be, so I thank you for making this video. And if there are any premenopausal women reading this comment and your mom is still alive, do take some time to talk with her (and your grandmothers and aunts) about what their perimenopausal and menopausal experiences were like. Yours will likely be the same as theirs!
Thank you for addressing this, Dr. Dray. Age 43...the acne is still here! And now the facial hair has joined the party 😂. Gotta make the best of it, wear my sunscreen, and know that I'm not alone.
Girl, yes, I'm 41 and still get breakouts, especially around the time of the month. I see a dermatologist and use azelaic acid for rosacea as well as a sulfur face wash for the acne. 🤷♀️
Skincare for 60s please 🙏🏼 my mom is in her late 60s & just getting into skincare. She has hyperpigmentation/few stubborn sunspots, wrinkles around her eyes, sagging, rough bumpy texture to her cheeks due to Milia etc any good skincare routine for mature skin would be much appreciated Dr dray. Been following you for awhile now. Can’t wait till you reach 2 million subscribers
--- Because of you, I started to (obsessively) use sunscreen, hats, tretinoin, etc. This week one of the secretaries at work didn't understand why I had a teacher key to open the staff bathroom. I'm 41 and I'm a HS teacher 🤣 ....she thought I was a student 🤣
Sunscreen is our secret! I’m 54 and people thought my daughter and I are sisters and someone thought I’m 39. Smh 🤦🏻♀️ high five girl! I need to buy cute hats. I have good head of hair and want to protect it.
Turning 45, I definitely see changes, even though I don’t think I am yet perimenopausal. What is helping me apart from sunscreen and retinol are K2 +D3 supplement, a good collagen powder (not all are good) and weight lifting. My hair and nails have never been better. Thanks for all the other tips. It all makes sense
Thank you for bringing up sleep wrinkles. It was difficult, but i've managed to become somewhat more used to sleeping on my back, and the difference it makes (less puffiness) is remarkable. The Sleep & Glo pillow didn't work for me, but i imagine it's great for some. (I angle my face down - never straight nor up - when turned to the side, so the raised curve at the bottom that's supposed to support your chin always pushed into my cheek, defeating the purpose. Make sure if you need to return it that you keep the receipt from shipping it back to them, and follow up; they gave me a refund after i reminded them, told them i tracked the return and they should've received it.)
Terrific informative video. I'm 71 and don't take hormones. Do you have any videos on 70's. I've been experiencing a sudden sensitivity in my skin this year. It's very frustrating when sudden.
Now that I'm in my 50s, I am getting more acne than I had when I was in puberty. I've tried many acne products including Differin. All ruined my skin barrier and made the acne worse. My skin was very sore. I discovered CeraVe acne control gel and I am very pleased with it. It's gentle and within a day or two, the pimple is almost completely gone without causing severe skin sensitivity.
I'm 59, never been on retin A and I have long history of ezcema so I was afraid to start it but my dermatologist gave me Altreno and I've been using it every other day for 3 weeks and doing well. No major irritation and I can tell already its improving my skin. I would highly recommend this tretinoin script for anyone with sensitive skin or worried about irritation.
I would like to see more videos from Dr. Dray on scalp care and aging scalp care. There is hair loss, but also scalp dryness, sensitivity, tenderness, and other things that seem to come as I age. I am a long time subscriber and have benefitted so much from Dr. Dray's videos.
I am 50 and I have dark skin. I am often mistaken for a 25 year old but I have noticed that my skin dry as cotton and prone to bruising. I have no wrinkles but, I have thinning hair but it is still black. I take the good with the bad. I just started to use skin care in 2020. It helps a lot
I love your channel and all your advice and comments on products but the pillow was a bust. I bought the sleep and glow pillow and hated it. It was so uncomfortable and had a weird smell. Even though the pillow has a good warranty for thirty days, they forget to tell you that you have to pay to return it. It cost me nearly 50$ to send it back because it is so heavy. Would not recommend it.
I so wish you’d address skin care in the 60’s. I’ve mentioned it in the comments a few times. Can skin not be made to look better or somewhat helped at this age? It seems that 60+ women are put out to pasture.
Dr Dray, thanks so much for dedicating a video to my age group. Some of these things I anticipated like wrinkles but the easy bruising was a surprise! Also, just want to say a general thank you. I discovered your channel during COVID lockdown and it is one good thing that came out of that whole experience. I'm taking much better care of my skin now now that I know what it needs.
I am 55 and the difference in my skin and body is shocking. Its very depressing. My skin is so dry no matter what I do and when I put moisturizer on I swear it increases my night sweats and makes me feel like an oil slick! My hair is also thinning. I am doing my best to help myself during this but it does really affect my mental health. In my mind I am young. But my body says otherwise.
You describe exactly how I feel. Im 55 and my mind says im young, but my body is like HELL NO. This Decade has been the hardest , way harder than puberty, pregnancy even post partum! God Bless you, im praying it does get easier.
@@RockstarVeganRecipes I do watch her! Isnt she great? I have thought about HRT but it seems complicated. A lot of insurances dont cover it and they can run up to 250.00 a month. I havent checked my inusrance yet but if I did decide to do HRT it would be a commitment for the rest of my life. Some doctors dont want you on it for life and thats what I would want. Im scared of starting it and then not being able to take it because, IMO, I would be right back where I started which would really stink. Lol. Thanks for replying!😀
@@lisapagliaroli8532 just use progesterone cream. Don't need a prescription from your doctor. Look up Barbara Hoffman healthy living on TH-cam. She's been using it for 30 years and looks great for being over 60, and she's slim. Good Luck!
Im 50 and menopausal and I hardly have a line on my face thanks to genetics and also having stayed out of the sun and using sunscreen since I was 18 and back then people hardly wore sunscreen on a daily basis but I did. I have combination to oily skin and very fine transparent skin that’s still plump with hardly any visible pores. People think I’m 37 years old. I also have very thick hair thanks to my dad as he’s 72 and still has all of his hair 😊
That is fantastic! What a testament to wearing sunscreen🙌… how did you ever think to put it on? I’m a 60s baby and it just never even occurred to me. Unti my 39’s The early spfs we’re so stinky and astringent.!
Wow! I'm your age and although I didn't go tanning as much as some in our age group, I still did some. There weren't many sunscreen options in the 70's and 80's, the only one I remember is Ski to Sea brand. I started wearing sunscreen every day for the past 15 years. I also am blessed to look about 10 to 12 years younger. My mom also looks young!
@@BeautyIsMyLife I started using sunscreen in 1990 I was 18 years old and in Australia there were sunscreens with sof15 as there was no spf 30 or higher back then and I remember using a Ponds Lotion with spf 15. 😊
@@Aussiegirl1972 we are the same age so I was 18 in 1990 too, but live in the US. I think there was some foundation that had spf 15 but I've never worn foundation much. I did use spf 15 creams in the 90"a but only on very sunny days. Wish it was more widely known to wear it every day when we were kids! Wish I had been as smart as you!
@@BeautyIsMyLife I have no idea what happened to me lol! My mom at 87 is aging well... It's such an individual process I guess. Someone even asked me if I were a drug addict! 😳when I shared my before and afters. The answer is NO but I sure aged dramatically post menopause.. Now on HRT, plus SPF 24/7 and post in-office dermatology treatments. It's all helped. Feeling a lot more like me again :)
I never really had oily skin when I was younger, more combo with the oily T-zone. But as I aged, everything became dry, especially the cheek areas. Since menopause, I feel like a dried up leaf from head to toe! 🍁🍂 I've also developed more sensitive skin that was never an issue pre-menopause. Fragrance in skincare is a no as well as chemical sunscreens which give me a horrible contact dermatitis rash. I also have to be careful which retinol products to use as they can trigger a reaction as well. It can be a struggle but if I stick to the products that work well for me, (Vanicream, CeraVe, Aquaphor, Eucerin), my skin looks and feels soft and hydrated. 😊
Great video, Dr Dray! As someone in the "wiser" group it's much appreciated. I went through menopause in my in my early 50's. Had a miserable year but thankfully the symptoms have disappeared. Now I'm left with thinning hair, dark circles, crows feet but still have oily skin and breakouts. Fun times! Lol!! Happy Friday! I hope you, your sweet momma and little Tybee have a wonderful weekend! 💟
Just went through surgical menopause for breast cancer treatment at 38. I’ve aged ten years in one year. Thanks for the video. would be cool to have a way to feel and look more my age while trying to get better from the treatment side effects.
I bought a sleep and glow about 2 yrs ago based on Dr Dray's rec... I'm never going back! I've never had a sleep wrinkle since, but I also like it because it is more comfortable on my neck. It took a day or 2 to get used to--its pretty different than a standard pillow...
I am 35 and had to have a total hysterectomy and oophorectomy at 28. Man, the dry skin is no joke! I have a hard time finding a fragrance free moisturizer that works well for me. Mustaches are legit. Drives me bonkers. Thankfully, I don't have a bunch of them! My hair hasn't been the same since my surgery! So many changes.
I got myself to adjust to sleeping in my back slightly elevated on a small wedge. It was not comfortable at first, but now this is how I need to sleep.
Thank you so much for this. I appreciate you sharing this information. Most of the time I stand in front of shelves wondering what products are best for my ageing skin. There’s so many opinions out there and all I want is something that is good for my skin, dermatologist approved and doesn’t break the bank. And I want it in as few steps as possible.
A beautifullly delivered vlog for us ladies experiencing the menopause. Mine started early at 46. I am now considering HRT but cautious due to potential risks. Soon the run up to Christmas! Lovely red top and looking fab Dr Dray! Blessings to you and your family ❤❤❤
Mine started at 45.🙄 I'm 49 (almost 50) now and the struggle is real.😂 I was never on HRT, I have a feeling it's a bit less popular over here in Europe maybe
Good video, Thank You Dr.Dray;I turned 60 in February and I would think the same advice would apply. I had blood work and I bruised for the first time. Enjoy your weekend 🙂.
Btw, there's a CVS deal, Gold Bond with urea (totally changed my skin, reversed much of the dehydration), buy $20, get $10 in rewards. I bought the GB pure moisture body & face lotion, 5.5 oz for about $6.50, good day cream; and my 2nd GB Age renew retinol overnight (I don't think the retinol is enuf % to do much tho), 7 oz for $14. Got back $10 on my cvs card, coupon works. Dr has talked about the gold bond line, that overnight body lotion she likes is on sale too. The ones I bought are true facial formulas & have not clogged me (I have dehydrated skin but prone to congestion). I use both for daytime, depending on how heavy of an occlusive I want, over black girl kids sunscreen, another fab formula (quite light tho) at a fantastic price & wet and wild cheapie tinted hydrator.
I am 45 and fortunately have never had problem with Acne until recently. It’s very frustrating. My skin has also gotten very sensitive and feels like everything makes it red and sometimes a rash appears, except for Aveeno calm and restore.
Lol on the benzoyl peroxide formula...I tried your underarm tip and now am sooooo pleased, i just use the Almay you recommended when I need to be unsweaty, and no more expensive natural fragrances to buy. I was so scared of the benzoyl, bought both 2.5 & 10%, it's a lovely formula now!! Smooth and almost hydrating! 2.5% x3/week is working great, absolutely no BO no matter what! Genius!!! Can't wait to teach my kid, who relies on clinical antiperspirant & gets irritation like I used to... I do unfortunately have a 6 deodorant collection, all natural, but most work as fragrances anywhere so no huge loss...
Yes!! I need this topic. Thank you! (And Pillow on its way). Happy Friday. Please know you have helped my skin, lifestyle and overall well-being. Thank you!
I turned 50 this year, skin is in pretty good shape still - hydrated and still plump not very wrinkly, just a lot of brown spots everywhere! 🌈 Happy Aloha Friday Dr Dre! 🌈 Love the subtle wings on your upper eyeliner, looks very very nice.
What I noticed the most is how sensitive my skin is in my 40’s. I used to have really “tough” skin but now it’s like sometimes just water burns. Or LaRoche hydrating cleanser burns. Neutrogena hydro boost fragrance free burns. It’s so crazy!
Have you used products with perfumes before? I know products with alcohol and/or perfumes can go unnoticed on your skin for even decades and then make your skin super sensitive.
My skin was having this issue. I know there is so much variation out there but try ceramides to see if that helps. I have also noticed that niacinamide before retinol helps a lot.
Same! I haven't had any issue with LRP (so far!), but one month I suddenly became sensitive to every CeraVe product out there, even the wash-off ones. Argh! So frustrating.
I’m 38 and have a lot more facial hair. I’ve been getting laser and it works well. Lasts quite a few months and then you have to do another round for the newest hairs that pop up! I was getting ingrowns on my face so this was necessary!
Hope this helps, but Amazon sells at-home laser hair devices that will help your treatments last. I have liked the Braun Silk Expert Pro 5. When I bought it it was about $350. Very helpful device for facial hair (and leg bikini hair if you have dark hair and light colored skin).
Just wanted to thank you for this video. Since I have found your channel you have really inspired me to take better care of myself. I really admire your self discipline and intelligent videos! You are a blessing to the skin care industry. You look beautiful in this video btw. Menopause has begun for me in force ugh. So definitely becoming more diligent. Have some serious damage from bad habits early in life. Hoping I can possibly learn from my mistakes and take better care.
I clicked on this vid just to tell you how GORGEOUS you look Dr. Dray! The color and style of your blouse + your new haircut suit you so well. Thanks for all the amazing advice, I’ve been a fan for several years now 💗
You always look great but I particularly enjoy this hair, makeup and top combo today. Thanks for the contect today Dr Dray - so much going on with being 50+!
I turn 66 next February.im English and have lived in Australia since 95.i have not one age spot.not one.i walk in the Sun but don't lat in it or sunbathe.i use Botox and for my Xmas pressie to myself I'm getting sym filler in my cheeks as I do pilYes and am fit bit 8 stone.have always been slim but toned..My mother had amazing skin and it was still flawless when she died at 89.i am very grateful for my great genes.😇
I'm here because I'm my late 30s and am 2 weeks into surgical menopause. 😔 I know there are a lot of younger people who are also in surgical menopause due to improperly treated endometriosis, leading to loss of the ovaries, PCOS, and other similar conditions. At some point, could you do a video for those of us who aren't of typical menopausal age and are looking for ways to care for our skin appropriately?
I don't think I mind "the creases" from sleeping. After you wake up, by the time you are ready for the day (washed and made-up), it is gone anyway. It just naturally "dissolves" as you go about your day. Why would I worry about it, or spend an arm and a leg on a darn pillow? I think it's a bit... much, personally.
Dr. Dray! You look so pretty! Thank you for the information on mature skin. I am 35 and have been closely following your skin care advice for a long while and it's been not only visibly beneficial for my skin and hair (I have PCOS) but has saved my wallet major money wasted on the more expensive, less effective (possibly more harmful) products, particularly 'clean beauty' and fragrance. Now, sunscreen is part of my daily routine, I don't sleep without tretinoin and have zero fragrance in my skin care though I still use perfumes lol but have cut down on it as well. Thank you for all the information, it's made decision making among the overflow of products, super easy.
@@janedough6575 So true! At least we are still alive & if you have your health that is what is most important. To much emphasis on looks is a problem in our society. Sad! 41 is still very young!
Don't be! I'm 52 and going strong! Enjoy life and take good care of yourself - your body will thank you. Fall in love with yourself a little ❤ when changes do come, you will have learned the art of nurturing your body and you.
You look really nice today! Love the red lips. My friends laugh because I apply sunscreen everyday! It doesn’t matter If you are staying inside because there are windows where light comes in. I had a lot of sunburns as a young person and have had a few spots that were pre cancer so I am a serious sunscreen person. It interesting and sad to discover we lose bone in our face as we age and that’s why we look different. I have this pillow and I love it! Thanks 😊
Timely indeed! Can the Elastin issue be address with: Externally: Skin care containing elastin, and Internally: L-Lysine, to maintain both collagen & elastin?
Thanks for info... great videos.. But sleep n glow is good for your cheeks but not good for your neck. I have it and tried many times....but always I have to squish under my neck...it's so frustrating .. so at last I just STOPPED using it!!
Think skins pretty malleable. Not to forget exfoliation. If the wrinkles aren’t too far deep in the skin then you probably still get rid of them. Just have to manage to shed off a few skin layers overtime until the wrinkles completely gone. Again I think skin is quite malleable and sometimes it just does what it wants to. If you see lines anywhere don’t stress too much
Ugh, I thought that pillow was the worst. If I put my head in the depression for the head I couldn’t get the benefit of the cutout on the end of it. The one I got was made in Russia. I sent it back. Customer service was really nice and helpful with returning it. Two weeks after I ordered it I hadn’t received the pillow or a shipping notification so I emailed them. They never responded but within 24 hours I received a notification that it had been shipped. I guess they were hoping I would forget about it. 🤷♀️
Happy Friday Dr Dary and everyone ! This was great . I had a hysterectomy about 13 years ago so this was a big help . Have a fabulous day love to mom and Tybee xoxoxoxo
Hi Mary Ann, I also had a hysterectomy when I was in my 40s. It was a partial so that I could go into Menopause naturally. I am now in my late 50s but I did not experience any symptoms that I could recognize. So I am assuming that I am past Menopause. So glad we have Dr Dray to guide us through this. All the best, Terry B
Im 28 and Watching this still lol. I love the advice you give, im so happy I found your videos 5 Years ago. My skin has improved just from following your advice! Huge cerave and tretinoin fan. I struggle big time with overactive Sebaceous glands and now trying to figure out a balance of anti aging and acne treatments🙄. Have you heard of smoothbeam laser? I'm curious on what you think of it.
I am really astonished Doctor Dray, skincare is not only as you said the products that we use for whatever our cause/problem is but also the every day routine our nutrition habits, our shower the hardness of the water, how cold or hot the water is and of course our sleeping habits the position which can cause distress to our whole body and plus the wrong pillow, which with its wrong "production/creation" can cause discomfort to our skin. So once again thank you for such a wonderful and really enjoying video. I simply can wait for the next one. Lots of love and good blessings of any sort and Kind dear Dray.
Retin A since I was 30. Adding Matrixyl to my routine in 2023. Sleep 9 hours every night, on silk, silk sleep mask, reduced alcohol, quit smoking , more water and that's the way I'll rock until I reach menopause then I'll add HGH.
I bought that pillow some time ago. It's comfortable sometimes but I can't sleep at the edge of the pillow, it's very awkward. It's also not high enough for my neck and head so even with the insert it's too low. I love the concept, though!

I smoked for 25 years and quit 3 years ago. What a difference in the quality of life.
The amount of bots under this wholesome comment is truly a misfortune to behold.

When I lose weight it helps a little. I look so different yuck! Jennifer 🤩
I truly appreciate that you NEVER short your subscribers on quality information.
Thanks for addressing sleep wrinkles. I have found my silk pillow case and type of pillow is very helpful. My best friend is not convinced that this is a real issue so I am going to share this with her since she does agree with me that your advice is trustworthy. Plus we are both over 50 so I am sure there will be other great tips for us!
They are frustrating to wake up to
I had to teach myself to sleep on my back. I had been a side sleeper all of my life. I still miss sleeping that way but not as much as I hated the sleep wrinkles lol.
@@jennifermarie8979 I also do this now… any helpful tricks for what to do with hair when you sleep on your back? So far I just sleep on it lmao, or put it in two braids.
@@luckyDancer100 2 loose braids tied with a silk scrunchy is the way to go in my opinion.
I'm 45 and the struggle is real lol! I have a silk pillow plus sleeping on my back helps so much! I need that pillow! Thanks Dr. Dray!
You look so beautiful!!! I am 36, and I have been postmenopausal since age 25. You are absolutely correct. My hair is turning white (transparent white). My skin is getting dry, and it is very sensitive. You have helped me out tremendously throughout the years, and I genuinely want to say thank you Dr. Dray.
At the age of 25?? How did you find out ? Is there anyway one can check if they're going through menopause?
Do you mean pre- or post-menopausal? I was pre for a long time in my late 30s, so apparently that's early. I didn't mind because my cycle started when I was really young, so I was ready for it to end.
@@ltrotter636 post. I already went through menopause.
@@doyoumissming Wow, that’s way to early! Were you able to have children?
@@amyadams1653 I don't think that's an appropriate question. Its hard enough to go through something decades earlier than expected without the pressures put on women to have children.
My housekeeper's face skin looked awful. She's a sun worshiper, no sunscreen, age 51 and washed face with soap, no moisturizer. Few months ago I convinced her to make just 2 changes. Wash with Neutrogena hydro boost cleanser then moisturize with Neutrogena hydro boost moisturizer which I got for her. I notice today that she looks much better. And I just got her to say she'll use sunscreen, the last step of essential face care. I have a few, so I gave her one.
I could do an entire dissertation on this subject. 15 years post-menopause and the skin changes just keep coming. Mine started drying out in my late 20’s and menopause accelerated that process ten-fold. Since I’ve been seeing dermatologists since the age of three months (yes, extreme sensitivity also), I’m fairly familiar with the drill: moisturize, moisturize, moisturize…..it never ends. Fortunately science has vastly improved the quality, consistency, and effectiveness of products over my lifetime so there are many helpful choices out there. And Lucky us-we have Dr. Dray to help us navigate that universe. Thanks for all these terrific videos!
Try bio-identical hormone replacement tailored for your blood levels
Thank you so much for this video! Growing up, no one ever talked about menopause--it was a taboo subject for no reason! When my mom went through it, she never talked about it, so a lot of these postmenopausal and perimenopausal changes were a surprise! (The acne, in particular!) And it really shouldn't be, so I thank you for making this video. And if there are any premenopausal women reading this comment and your mom is still alive, do take some time to talk with her (and your grandmothers and aunts) about what their perimenopausal and menopausal experiences were like. Yours will likely be the same as theirs!
Thank you for addressing this, Dr. Dray. Age 43...the acne is still here! And now the facial hair has joined the party 😂. Gotta make the best of it, wear my sunscreen, and know that I'm not alone.
Girl, yes, I'm 41 and still get breakouts, especially around the time of the month. I see a dermatologist and use azelaic acid for rosacea as well as a sulfur face wash for the acne. 🤷♀️
You are not alone! Much love ❤
Skincare for 60s please 🙏🏼 my mom is in her late 60s & just getting into skincare. She has hyperpigmentation/few stubborn sunspots, wrinkles around her eyes, sagging, rough bumpy texture to her cheeks due to Milia etc any good skincare routine for mature skin would be much appreciated Dr dray. Been following you for awhile now. Can’t wait till you reach 2 million subscribers
--- Because of you, I started to (obsessively) use sunscreen, hats, tretinoin, etc. This week one of the secretaries at work didn't understand why I had a teacher key to open the staff bathroom. I'm 41 and I'm a HS teacher 🤣 ....she thought I was a student 🤣
Sunscreen is our secret! I’m 54 and people thought my daughter and I are sisters and someone thought I’m 39. Smh 🤦🏻♀️ high five girl! I need to buy cute hats. I have good head of hair and want to protect it.
Turning 45, I definitely see changes, even though I don’t think I am yet perimenopausal. What is helping me apart from sunscreen and retinol are K2 +D3 supplement, a good collagen powder (not all are good) and weight lifting. My hair and nails have never been better. Thanks for all the other tips. It all makes sense
How do u know what collagen powder is good?
@@robbiedaw3415, Through research.
I’m about to turn 40 next week! This video is very well timed for me. Thank you!
Happy Birthday 🎁 🎉
Happy birthday!!
Thank you! 🥰
Thank you for bringing up sleep wrinkles. It was difficult, but i've managed to become somewhat more used to sleeping on my back, and the difference it makes (less puffiness) is remarkable. The Sleep & Glo pillow didn't work for me, but i imagine it's great for some. (I angle my face down - never straight nor up - when turned to the side, so the raised curve at the bottom that's supposed to support your chin always pushed into my cheek, defeating the purpose. Make sure if you need to return it that you keep the receipt from shipping it back to them, and follow up; they gave me a refund after i reminded them, told them i tracked the return and they should've received it.)
Terrific informative video. I'm 71 and don't take hormones. Do you have any videos on 70's. I've been experiencing a sudden sensitivity in my skin this year. It's very frustrating when sudden.
Now that I'm in my 50s, I am getting more acne than I had when I was in puberty. I've tried many acne products including Differin. All ruined my skin barrier and made the acne worse. My skin was very sore. I discovered CeraVe acne control gel and I am very pleased with it. It's gentle and within a day or two, the pimple is almost completely gone without causing severe skin sensitivity.
I'm 59, never been on retin A and I have long history of ezcema so I was afraid to start it but my dermatologist gave me Altreno and I've been using it every other day for 3 weeks and doing well. No major irritation and I can tell already its improving my skin. I would highly recommend this tretinoin script for anyone with sensitive skin or worried about irritation.
Yes! I’m 51 & have been using Altreno for over three years. Love it!
I would like to see more videos from Dr. Dray on scalp care and aging scalp care. There is hair loss, but also scalp dryness, sensitivity, tenderness, and other things that seem to come as I age. I am a long time subscriber and have benefitted so much from Dr. Dray's videos.
I am 50 and I have dark skin. I am often mistaken for a 25 year old but I have noticed that my skin dry as cotton and prone to bruising. I have no wrinkles but, I have thinning hair but it is still black. I take the good with the bad. I just started to use skin care in 2020. It helps a lot
I someone in the wiser group - even wiser than this lol- I appreciate this so much! 💜💜💜
Yay! Excited for this video as a person in my 40s. Thanks Dr. 😊🌺
You are so welcome!
It’s been a few years since I’ve watched and want to say you look beautiful. Your Makeup is very pretty, and really enhances your features. ❤
I love your channel and all your advice and comments on products but the pillow was a bust. I bought the sleep and glow pillow and hated it. It was so uncomfortable and had a weird smell. Even though the pillow has a good warranty for thirty days, they forget to tell you that you have to pay to return it. It cost me nearly 50$ to send it back because it is so heavy. Would not recommend it.
Jilly, time flys even faster when u hit 50s n 60s. It's crazy how the days blend together n pass so quickly.
I so wish you’d address skin care in the 60’s. I’ve mentioned it in the comments a few times. Can skin not be made to look better or somewhat helped at this age? It seems that 60+ women are put out to pasture.
There are channels that address 60 plus but they aren't derm channels.
Ablative laser resurfacing is the gold standard for skin rejuvenation and can be really helpful for post-menopausal women
Happy Friday, Doc! This is right on time--I’m 49 and dealing with peri-menopausal symptoms. Fun times. 😒 Have a great weekend, everyone! ❤
I'm 45 and in full blown menopause 😩 the struggle is real! Lol...have a great weekend!
Me as well!!! For 3yrs and have muscle weakness too that 3 specialists still cant figure out! Sry 4 the rant
@@phillyjilly I hope they find out what's going on soon 🙏
@@samanthahanks7921 aww thank u!!!
@@phillyjilly you are welcome 🥰
Dr Dray, thanks so much for dedicating a video to my age group. Some of these things I anticipated like wrinkles but the easy bruising was a surprise!
Also, just want to say a general thank you. I discovered your channel during COVID lockdown and it is one good thing that came out of that whole experience. I'm taking much better care of my skin now now that I know what it needs.
I am 55 and the difference in my skin and body is shocking. Its very depressing. My skin is so dry no matter what I do and when I put moisturizer on I swear it increases my night sweats and makes me feel like an oil slick! My hair is also thinning. I am doing my best to help myself during this but it does really affect my mental health. In my mind I am young. But my body says otherwise.
You may want to check out the TH-camr called Menopause Taylor. She is a retired OBGYN doctor. She has a lot of great information. :)
You describe exactly how I feel. Im 55 and my mind says im young, but my body is like HELL NO. This Decade has been the hardest , way harder than puberty, pregnancy even post partum! God Bless you, im praying it does get easier.
@@RockstarVeganRecipes I do watch her! Isnt she great? I have thought about HRT but it seems complicated. A lot of insurances dont cover it and they can run up to 250.00 a month. I havent checked my inusrance yet but if I did decide to do HRT it would be a commitment for the rest of my life. Some doctors dont want you on it for life and thats what I would want. Im scared of starting it and then not being able to take it because, IMO, I would be right back where I started which would really stink. Lol. Thanks for replying!😀
@@erinlarge5649 Awe thank you so much!!😀 You are so kind and I really appreciate that!
@@lisapagliaroli8532 just use progesterone cream. Don't need a prescription from your doctor. Look up Barbara Hoffman healthy living on TH-cam. She's been using it for 30 years and looks great for being over 60, and she's slim. Good Luck!
Yep ! Time flies! You look gorgeous, Dr Dray !
Im 50 and menopausal and I hardly have a line on my face thanks to genetics and also having stayed out of the sun and using sunscreen since I was 18 and back then people hardly wore sunscreen on a daily basis but I did. I have combination to oily skin and very fine transparent skin that’s still plump with hardly any visible pores. People think I’m 37 years old. I also have very thick hair thanks to my dad as he’s 72 and still has all of his hair 😊
That is fantastic! What a testament to wearing sunscreen🙌… how did you ever think to put it on? I’m a 60s baby and it just never even occurred to me. Unti my 39’s The early spfs we’re so stinky and astringent.!
Wow! I'm your age and although I didn't go tanning as much as some in our age group, I still did some. There weren't many sunscreen options in the 70's and 80's, the only one I remember is Ski to Sea brand. I started wearing sunscreen every day for the past 15 years. I also am blessed to look about 10 to 12 years younger. My mom also looks young!
@@BeautyIsMyLife I started using sunscreen in 1990 I was 18 years old and in Australia there were sunscreens with sof15 as there was no spf 30 or higher back then and I remember using a Ponds Lotion with spf 15. 😊
@@Aussiegirl1972 we are the same age so I was 18 in 1990 too, but live in the US. I think there was some foundation that had spf 15 but I've never worn foundation much. I did use spf 15 creams in the 90"a but only on very sunny days. Wish it was more widely known to wear it every day when we were kids! Wish I had been as smart as you!
@@BeautyIsMyLife I have no idea what happened to me lol! My mom at 87 is aging well... It's such an individual process I guess. Someone even asked me if I were a drug addict! 😳when I shared my before and afters. The answer is NO but I sure aged dramatically post menopause.. Now on HRT, plus SPF 24/7 and post in-office dermatology treatments. It's all helped. Feeling a lot more like me again :)
I never really had oily skin when I was younger, more combo with the oily T-zone. But as I aged, everything became dry, especially the cheek areas. Since menopause, I feel like a dried up leaf from head to toe! 🍁🍂 I've also developed more sensitive skin that was never an issue pre-menopause. Fragrance in skincare is a no as well as chemical sunscreens which give me a horrible contact dermatitis rash. I also have to be careful which retinol products to use as they can trigger a reaction as well. It can be a struggle but if I stick to the products that work well for me, (Vanicream, CeraVe, Aquaphor, Eucerin), my skin looks and feels soft and hydrated. 😊
Excited to be here on Friday for Dr Dray time i live for this time every day❤
Morning!
Great video, Dr Dray! As someone in the "wiser" group it's much appreciated. I went through menopause in my in my early 50's. Had a miserable year but thankfully the symptoms have disappeared. Now I'm left with thinning hair, dark circles, crows feet but still have oily skin and breakouts. Fun times! Lol!! Happy Friday! I hope you, your sweet momma and little Tybee have a wonderful weekend! 💟
Dr. Dray your makeup has been looking beautiful! 👏 👏
Just went through surgical menopause for breast cancer treatment at 38. I’ve aged ten years in one year. Thanks for the video. would be cool to have a way to feel and look more my age while trying to get better from the treatment side effects.
I bought a sleep and glow about 2 yrs ago based on Dr Dray's rec... I'm never going back! I've never had a sleep wrinkle since, but I also like it because it is more comfortable on my neck. It took a day or 2 to get used to--its pretty different than a standard pillow...
I am 35 and had to have a total hysterectomy and oophorectomy at 28. Man, the dry skin is no joke! I have a hard time finding a fragrance free moisturizer that works well for me. Mustaches are legit. Drives me bonkers. Thankfully, I don't have a bunch of them! My hair hasn't been the same since my surgery! So many changes.
38 and in the same boat.
Did You notice other changes on skin? I need yo know please. The same happened to me :(
I am noticing your increase in makeup wearing lately and I LOVE IT! You look beautiful 😊
I think she looks better without makeup. Being a dermatologist, i would pref to see her real skin.
@@iss8504 don’t think she wears face makeup. Maybe just tinted sunscreen. Lipgloss, yes she has said she wears that & mascara.
OMG 😳 I check almost all the symptoms you talk about! Thank you for this post. And thank you for all the recommendations.
I got myself to adjust to sleeping in my back slightly elevated on a small wedge. It was not comfortable at first, but now this is how I need to sleep.
Unfortunately not good to sleep on back if have sleep apnoea, which many people don’t know they have.
Thank you so much. I'm 56 and going through now. So glad you covered this
Thank you so much for this. I appreciate you sharing this information. Most of the time I stand in front of shelves wondering what products are best for my ageing skin. There’s so many opinions out there and all I want is something that is good for my skin, dermatologist approved and doesn’t break the bank. And I want it in as few steps as possible.
Micellar water, cotton pad and then vaseline 👌👍 job done
A beautifullly delivered vlog for us ladies experiencing the menopause. Mine started early at 46. I am now considering HRT but cautious due to potential risks. Soon the run up to Christmas! Lovely red top and looking fab Dr Dray! Blessings to you and your family ❤❤❤
Mine started at 45.🙄 I'm 49 (almost 50) now and the struggle is real.😂 I was never on HRT, I have a feeling it's a bit less popular over here in Europe maybe
Have you looked at MenopauseTaylor on TH-cam? She also has a book which I think is good.
Hrt has saved my life deffo go for it
Good video, Thank You Dr.Dray;I turned 60 in February and I would think the same advice would apply. I had blood work and I bruised for the first time. Enjoy your weekend 🙂.
I'm going to be 55 soon and oh joy! lol I love my sleep and glow pillow, I've been using it a few years now and won't be without it! :)
Glad you like it too! It is so good!
I think I'm going to have to try this sleep & glow pillow 🤔
Btw, there's a CVS deal, Gold Bond with urea (totally changed my skin, reversed much of the dehydration), buy $20, get $10 in rewards. I bought the GB pure moisture body & face lotion, 5.5 oz for about $6.50, good day cream; and my 2nd GB Age renew retinol overnight (I don't think the retinol is enuf % to do much tho), 7 oz for $14. Got back $10 on my cvs card, coupon works. Dr has talked about the gold bond line, that overnight body lotion she likes is on sale too. The ones I bought are true facial formulas & have not clogged me (I have dehydrated skin but prone to congestion). I use both for daytime, depending on how heavy of an occlusive I want, over black girl kids sunscreen, another fab formula (quite light tho) at a fantastic price & wet and wild cheapie tinted hydrator.
I am 45 and fortunately have never had problem with Acne until recently. It’s very frustrating. My skin has also gotten very sensitive and feels like everything makes it red and sometimes a rash appears, except for Aveeno calm and restore.
Lol on the benzoyl peroxide formula...I tried your underarm tip and now am sooooo pleased, i just use the Almay you recommended when I need to be unsweaty, and no more expensive natural fragrances to buy. I was so scared of the benzoyl, bought both 2.5 & 10%, it's a lovely formula now!! Smooth and almost hydrating! 2.5% x3/week is working great, absolutely no BO no matter what! Genius!!! Can't wait to teach my kid, who relies on clinical antiperspirant & gets irritation like I used to... I do unfortunately have a 6 deodorant collection, all natural, but most work as fragrances anywhere so no huge loss...
Yes!! I need this topic. Thank you! (And Pillow on its way). Happy Friday. Please know you have helped my skin, lifestyle and overall well-being. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
I turned 50 this year, skin is in pretty good shape still - hydrated and still plump not very wrinkly, just a lot of brown spots everywhere! 🌈 Happy Aloha Friday Dr Dre! 🌈 Love the subtle wings on your upper eyeliner, looks very very nice.
What I noticed the most is how sensitive my skin is in my 40’s. I used to have really “tough” skin but now it’s like sometimes just water burns. Or LaRoche hydrating cleanser burns. Neutrogena hydro boost fragrance free burns. It’s so crazy!
Have you used products with perfumes before? I know products with alcohol and/or perfumes can go unnoticed on your skin for even decades and then make your skin super sensitive.
My skin was having this issue. I know there is so much variation out there but try ceramides to see if that helps. I have also noticed that niacinamide before retinol helps a lot.
Me too, I discoverd Avene and vaseline with cocoa butter, my skin is now a lot better.
Same! I haven't had any issue with LRP (so far!), but one month I suddenly became sensitive to every CeraVe product out there, even the wash-off ones. Argh! So frustrating.
@@WiseFamin Same here. Cerave always stings my face 🤷♀️. Both face wash & moisturizer. Sad, as so many people love it.
This is so much work getting older. Damn. Almost 40 and feeling these experiences.
You’re still a baby! Wait until 60
Same here,lots of maintenance everyday,argh
I’m 38 and have a lot more facial hair. I’ve been getting laser and it works well. Lasts quite a few months and then you have to do another round for the newest hairs that pop up! I was getting ingrowns on my face so this was necessary!
Hope this helps, but Amazon sells at-home laser hair devices that will help your treatments last. I have liked the Braun Silk Expert Pro 5. When I bought it it was about $350. Very helpful device for facial hair (and leg bikini hair if you have dark hair and light colored skin).
Terrific advice and eye opening facts. Subscribed to your channel. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
You are always beautiful!… but are you just look so gorgeous on this upload😍
Just wanted to thank you for this video. Since I have found your channel you have really inspired me to take better care of myself. I really admire your self discipline and intelligent videos! You are a blessing to the skin care industry. You look beautiful in this video btw. Menopause has begun for me in force ugh. So definitely becoming more diligent. Have some serious damage from bad habits early in life. Hoping I can possibly learn from my mistakes and take better care.
I clicked on this vid just to tell you how GORGEOUS you look Dr. Dray! The color and style of your blouse + your new haircut suit you so well. Thanks for all the amazing advice, I’ve been a fan for several years now 💗
You look great in this video! Thank you so much for this.
You always look great but I particularly enjoy this hair, makeup and top combo today. Thanks for the contect today Dr Dray - so much going on with being 50+!
Dr. Dray, you look absolutely amazing in this video!! 💖💖💖
Dr. D thank you always for the amazing content. Had to drop a comment because you look STUNNING in this video! These are truly YOUR COLORS!
I just turned 50 and this video depressed me
I turn 66 next February.im English and have lived in Australia since 95.i have not one age spot.not one.i walk in the Sun but don't lat in it or sunbathe.i use Botox and for my Xmas pressie to myself I'm getting sym filler in my cheeks as I do pilYes and am fit bit 8 stone.have always been slim but toned..My mother had amazing skin and it was still flawless when she died at 89.i am very grateful for my great genes.😇
Happy Friday Dr Dray, When is the best time to apply the maelove brighting serum, morning or evening. Thank you for all your videos.
Either…I go into more detail in the review video
10. I scratched at my shins, mosquito, and broke the skin. MONTHS to heal.
I sleep on my back changing position. I was not like this before. I am pleased I changed my ways. ❤
I'm here because I'm my late 30s and am 2 weeks into surgical menopause. 😔
I know there are a lot of younger people who are also in surgical menopause due to improperly treated endometriosis, leading to loss of the ovaries, PCOS, and other similar conditions.
At some point, could you do a video for those of us who aren't of typical menopausal age and are looking for ways to care for our skin appropriately?
I don't think I mind "the creases" from sleeping. After you wake up, by the time you are ready for the day (washed and made-up), it is gone anyway. It just naturally "dissolves" as you go about your day. Why would I worry about it, or spend an arm and a leg on a darn pillow? I think it's a bit... much, personally.
Dr. Dray! You look so pretty! Thank you for the information on mature skin. I am 35 and have been closely following your skin care advice for a long while and it's been not only visibly beneficial for my skin and hair (I have PCOS) but has saved my wallet major money wasted on the more expensive, less effective (possibly more harmful) products, particularly 'clean beauty' and fragrance. Now, sunscreen is part of my daily routine, I don't sleep without tretinoin and have zero fragrance in my skin care though I still use perfumes lol but have cut down on it as well. Thank you for all the information, it's made decision making among the overflow of products, super easy.
OMG, I'm suddenly a bit depressed. I'm 41 and I am now really frightened of these changes 😭😭
Don’t be frightened of these changes, it means you’re still alive.
@@janedough6575 So true! At least we are still alive & if you have your health that is what is most important. To much emphasis on looks is a problem in our society. Sad! 41 is still very young!
@@Lilah1754 yes, my daughter is 43, but she sees that at 65 I am still holding up pretty well, if a bit wrinkly lol.
Don't be! I'm 52 and going strong! Enjoy life and take good care of yourself - your body will thank you. Fall in love with yourself a little ❤ when changes do come, you will have learned the art of nurturing your body and you.
We just don't wanna look like a man :(
Totally accurate. This is the harsh reality; definitely not easy to watch these changes, at least for me :(
You look really nice today! Love the red lips. My friends laugh because I apply sunscreen everyday! It doesn’t matter If you are staying inside because there are windows where light comes in. I had a lot of sunburns as a young person and have had a few spots that were pre cancer so I am a serious sunscreen person. It interesting and sad to discover we lose bone in our face as we age and that’s why we look different. I have this pillow and I love it! Thanks 😊
Timely indeed! Can the Elastin issue be address with:
Externally: Skin care containing elastin, and
Internally: L-Lysine, to maintain both collagen & elastin?
Quite interesting, especially the part about increased rashes!😊
Thank you so so so very much for this! Numbers 9 and 10 really struck home with me. Thank you!!
I love the sleep and glow thanks for the rec!!
I will share this with my mom!
Not 40 yet, but still watching for my future self and for my wiser family&friends. Thank you Dr.!
Thanks for watching
Thanks for info... great videos.. But sleep n glow is good for your cheeks but not good for your neck. I have it and tried many times....but always I have to squish under my neck...it's so frustrating
.. so at last I just STOPPED using it!!
The best thing I did with perimenopause was use hormone patches, drinking lots of water, and washing and moisturising with Aveeno.
Beautiful color on you Dr Dray.
Dr Dray! You’re looking even more beautiful these days! ❤❤❤
Gorgeous in red!!! Thank you for educating me!
Think skins pretty malleable. Not to forget exfoliation. If the wrinkles aren’t too far deep in the skin then you probably still get rid of them. Just have to manage to shed off a few skin layers overtime until the wrinkles completely gone.
Again I think skin is quite malleable and sometimes it just does what it wants to. If you see lines anywhere don’t stress too much
Ugh, I thought that pillow was the worst. If I put my head in the depression for the head I couldn’t get the benefit of the cutout on the end of it. The one I got was made in Russia. I sent it back. Customer service was really nice and helpful with returning it. Two weeks after I ordered it I hadn’t received the pillow or a shipping notification so I emailed them. They never responded but within 24 hours I received a notification that it had been shipped. I guess they were hoping I would forget about it. 🤷♀️
Happy Friday Dr Dary and everyone ! This was great . I had a hysterectomy about 13 years ago so this was a big help . Have a fabulous day love to mom and Tybee xoxoxoxo
Happy Friday mary ann Gonzalez. Hope you're well and enjoying your day.
@@db-gb5xi enjoy 🍁🍁😉😉 your day and weekend
Greetings Mary Ann Gonzalez hope u r well n Happy Friday😀👍💜….
Hi Mary Ann, I also had a hysterectomy when I was in my 40s. It was a partial so that I could go into Menopause naturally. I am now in my late 50s but I did not experience any symptoms that I could recognize. So I am assuming that I am past Menopause. So glad we have Dr Dray to guide us through this. All the best, Terry B
@@terryberg3906 Yes ! Dr Dray is the best . I am 59 Same with me I really never had a lot of those symptoms either .
Im 28 and Watching this still lol. I love the advice you give, im so happy I found your videos 5 Years ago. My skin has improved just from following your advice! Huge cerave and tretinoin fan. I struggle big time with overactive Sebaceous glands and now trying to figure out a balance of anti aging and acne treatments🙄. Have you heard of smoothbeam laser? I'm curious on what you think of it.
Just ordered my sleep and glow. Praying this is what it takes for me to learn to sleep on my back🤞
I am really astonished Doctor Dray, skincare is not only as you said the products that we use for whatever our cause/problem is but also the every day routine our nutrition habits, our shower the hardness of the water, how cold or hot the water is and of course our sleeping habits the position which can cause distress to our whole body and plus the wrong pillow, which with its wrong "production/creation" can cause discomfort to our skin. So once again thank you for such a wonderful and really enjoying video. I simply can wait for the next one. Lots of love and good blessings of any sort and Kind dear Dray.
Wow! Just wow!! You look absolutely amazing in this video. ❤️ Had to say something. Plus thank you so much for the info as I am 54.
Retin A since I was 30. Adding Matrixyl to my routine in 2023. Sleep 9 hours every night, on silk, silk sleep mask, reduced alcohol, quit smoking , more water and that's the way I'll rock until I reach menopause then I'll add HGH.
And SPF!! how could I forget!!
I love all your knowledge. Thank you for sharing it with us.
My mother at 87 died with Beautiful hair & nails. She did get wrinkles but swam & sunbathing
Doctor you lovely in this top! Have a good day. :)
I bought that pillow some time ago. It's comfortable sometimes but I can't sleep at the edge of the pillow, it's very awkward. It's also not high enough for my neck and head so even with the insert it's too low. I love the concept, though!
Sucks bc I just bought this and I agree, might as well be laying on nothing. Of course a new bulkier one just came out
