[coltononline]

no real information here...

Clean your skin before applying products. Really?

it's only natural to apply the product in the same manor each day. It's called a routine.

Don't need ten plus years of post secondary ed for this info?

Nice lab coat though...

[Sweetmuve]

Hello Dr.

What do you think of using Benzaclin on backacne? Also, what do you think about using a chemical peel on backacne?

Does it work? any side effects?

Thank you!! :)

[TheDrummergirl22]

Thank you Dr. Schulz!

[hotpinkglow]

I have a question. Why does it have to be for the same amount of time every time you cleanse your face or apply product. How does that help?

[pizapizo]

@hotpinkglow you need to wait..

[blackmonroe123]

thank you

[kim103live]

first time i heard this regimen, thanks!

[videostarrr]

baking soda works wonders as an exfoliant. dirt cheap and super easy to use.

[ABeautyAddict]

You are such a blessing!



[daisytrish]

No comprende...

[cglwallace]

You are the BEST!

[TheHappyonetoday]

Do we need cleanser and toner both? Or is one over the other preferred?

[Smile85000]

thank you

[2mariebl]

Thanks Doc .

[leliuchi1]

Thank you, Doctor ! : )

[cjx3pooh]

30 seconds? Wow I always cleanse for wayyy longer than that.

[ClaudiaMSutton]

Wow, I never knew that one should not cleanse for more than 30 seconds. I'll have to improve upon that. Thanks Doctor.

[goode2shuz1]

I cleanse and moisturize and that's it. Toner burns my skin and dries it out. I have tried many brands and they all burn. I have dry skin and if I start toning, I get dry flaky skin. I gave up and just use cleanser. Works well for me. I don't know why we should use the same products all the time, or why the steps need to be in one particular order though.

[tea4al]

@goode2shuz1 A doctor told me once that if I wanted results for my skin, I should keep a similar routine and do it for a long time. That way the skin gets used to the products and can respond the way the products were tested to be. Consistency is the key. Its like a science experiments. when you do a lab or experiment and testing different hypothesis you want to do everything in the same order so you know nothing was contaminated or there is no changing variable except the one you want to change

[Victorian9322]

Wait, so we use toner before we exfoliate? I cleanse, exfoliate, tone and use moisturizer.

[RavenOfIllOmen]

@Victorian9322 I do the same thing lol! I've always used toner after exfoliation because I considered my scrub as part of the cleansing step...I don't know whether it is good to use toner twice (after cleanser and then after exfoliant), I prefer to use it once and from now on right after cleanser instead of exfoliant...

[BlackLily888]

Can't I change clenser?

[tea4al]

@BlackLily888 I don't think he's saying Dont ever change your cleanser ever again. cuz thats kind of impossible. I think what hes saying is dont change it too often,let your skin get used to a routine. For your skin to get results, you need to use it consistently and for a significant amount of time. Also, if your cleanser is doing what you want it to and are satisfied, there's really no reason as to changing it unless you just wanted to try something different.

[Iwuzhere321]

Thanks! ILY Doctor!

[marlibelulas]

amen!

[123akify]

Does that mean that we should only use one cleanser and toner morning and evening? I cyrrently have 1set for morn and 1 for evening.

Is this wrong?

[RavenOfIllOmen]

@123akify I don't think that's what he meant :) I think you can use more than one cleanser as long as you prepare your skin the same way morning and evening...so one cleanser in the morning and the other in the evening...And changing products during the year is not bad either, provided that you give your skin the time to accustom to your new products...the important thing is to follow a skincare routine night and day, without skipping or inverting the steps or changing products too often...

[tea4al]

@123akify I think hes saying as long as you repeat those steps and use those two products consistently morning and night and its working for you just keep on doing it :D

[Ihatenicknames1]

Hm, why would you have to apply everything the same way every time? :) It sound so strange, I wonder how it works?

[sp00kii]

What does a toner do? I've heard mixed things about them. Some people say that toner does nothing for your skin and others say that you should never go without it.

[Evnaaa]

@sp00kii Toner has multiple use. It restores your skin to its nomal pH, removes any leftover oil/makeup

different toners contain different ingredients

for ex. witchhazel, has anti bacterial properties that may be useful for someone with overly oily skin who tends to break out alot.

[Randomstuffs261]

I wish my dermatologist was like him.

My derm is a dumbass

[aulae]

@Sa015Ra exfoliating your skin 2-3x a week. this removes the dead cells and allows new skin cells to regrow. But of course, for acne scars to fade, it can take weeks so you have to be patient :) hope that helped

[NicoleNightly]

Reading these comments on your videos, I can't believe people believe in all of these skin care myths- I love your videos because they either remind me of what I already know or tell me something new- Thank You! =D

[nij39]

I use different products morning and eye...example: different cleansers. Do you mean to use same cleanser morning AND night?

[123sarcasticdiva]

i thought it was good to switch your cleansers around alot..

[franciscob1978]

Doctor can I use only a toner to cleanse my skin? Thank you for this very useful videos!

[Dermatoid]

What about when we're introducing new products to the skin? Or have products that specifically say to use only a few times per week?

[makeupfreak81]

Thanxxxx :)

[xMizzDollFacex]

@Sa015Ra Fresh papaya masks help, turmeric powder helps, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar. These are some natural remedies that can help. as for chemical products im not sure, never had luck w/ em.

[xMizzDollFacex]

Ya why do you have to start in the same place, does that really make a difference?

[Norlitegirl]

I too wonder why we can't use different cleaners as long as they're top notch and effective.

[Mushman15]

I CANT BELIEVE PEOPLE ARE TRUSTING MICHELLE PHAN AND THE FOWLER SISTERS WITH SKINCARE ADVICE, U GOT A PROFESSIONAL RIGHT HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[subtilezaobvia]

@Mushman15 amen!

[rikka4u]

@Mushman15 i agree with you....i m not even subscribed to those ppl....lol....I watche youtube videos to get my skin back in shape....and watching dermtv helps a lot....

[ilargitxo2]

@Mushman15 well lets see they are idiots if they do that. We know that they are not dermatologist not even doctors etc so they advices have to be handle with gloves.I mean you can no trust them 100% not because they are bad people but because they are not doctors.They just love makeu up and they can tell you some beauty tricks that they have heard and that they try and if you like it or you think it can work then you try it but what there is here in youtube it is a lot of ignorance and stupidity

[Joyceline]

@Mushman15 YES! THANK YOU!

Kitty litter facial? No thanks............

[gothgrl50]

thank you!! :D

[missandix]

i don't understand why you have to do it in the same amount of time and same order?

[laojace]

@missandix yeah what's the rationale behind it? isn't it true that we have to mix up our routine once in a while before our skin get accustomed/ immune to them?

[Paradigm715]

@missandix

I think it is so that the skin knows what to expect and doesn't start reacting due to (small) changes. I might be wrong,but that's just my opinion.

[MikiOkMu]

@missandix The reason for that type of redundancy and habit (I imagine) is to to get the same results and effectiveness of your chosen skincare regimen on all parts/ areas of your face. For almost anything in life (I think), you need to stick to doing certain things with a set of rules, discipline, organization and patience. Doing those things in a particular way with a set time and good "follow-through" will guarantee max. results for a longer period of time.

[Sweetmuve]

@missandix I agree, why? :)
