Every time I put any acid even 3% & I tried a retinol 0.025% My face turns into a swollen ballon with sandpaper texture So I officially will have wrinkles as none of those are tolerated by my skin LOL

Yes! Thank you! aging gracefully is a blessing! Obviously taking care of yourself as well; drink water, wash face, sunscreen, eating habits, etc.

"Aging is a privilege " wow, never saw it from this perspective... great view... love love love your choice of words...❤❤

@@catherinedesilets8960 there’s a very specific process for introducing retinol into your skincare, it works like magic

@@edithgarciajimenez7325 may I ask, would u elaborate on this "way to introduce retinol in ur skincare", what's this process that works like magic!?!! I'm trying to see if, I guess, I'm doing it right!!! 😆

Thanks

So much effort to ruin it all with fillers 🤦🏻‍♀️

6. Facelift 😆

Thanks

Thank You👍

I wouldn't go back to him.

Find a different dermatologist. Not all of them are trying to take your money. Ask your girlfriends for a recommendation.

Stay confident! Run....far and fast.

Wow, nothing like a smooth talker to deflate a person’s ego! Sheeeesh…don’t go back!!!

The question is : how much was everything?

this 👆

Welcome back!

@@youmemeyou yes exactly! one got uglier and age faster with depression or negative minds. good face posture is important, it will shape your face, so even if u arent happy try smiley face or good face posture even while you are sleeping!!!

I also noticed I look so much older after bad break up and long depression..

Dentists do botox?

@@yukiminami9202 YES. They always have once it was approved for use for cosmetic purposes. BOTOX was used for Medical reasons only before it was approved for Cosmetic purposes...for wrinkles especially.

Oh cool I never knew this! Are you from states? Im Canada

I would change the dentist. Commenting on someone's appearance isn't professional

Good call!

Pam so true….I can right away tell when a person has a fake smile or genuine one. A smile that stretches from ear to ear and makes your eye squint and your lips widened is a smile that makes you feel warm and loved.🥰

Yeah I always thought crow's feet and laugh lines were hot 🤷🏽‍♀️

I totally agree. Crows feet are lovely.

Yes!!!

agreed. we need more aging positivity. too much negativity around the normal signs of getting older; "anti-aging" shouldn't be consuming every minute of the day.

I think he’s talked about it in earlier videos

I’ve read about a lady in her 40s, I believe, that didn’t have wrinkles… because she trained herself to not laugh and smile and make the least facial expressions she could. Imagine living your entire life not being free to emote because you’re that scared of aging. That’s so sad.

Great color on him

My daughter's just moved to Australia to work as a doctor there and has purple scrubs, which is also quite nice

I noticed that Dr. Max changes his look a lot, from wearing dark colors to bright colors. Having a beard to having no beard. Wearing a choker necklace to no necklace at all On the flip side, Dr. Shaw always wears dark scrubs, same hair, same beard Just an interesting observation

I think Dr Max is so handsome/ HOT

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Is there anything wrong with that?

@@quabledistocficklepo3597 Only if you think there's anything wrong with the rules being different for different groups of people, for no actual good reason. Which, most people do.

@@a.a9021 Celtic girl Is right and you are a dork

Yeh filler would increase ur face volume which will make u feel less attractive

And fillers vs fat-transfer, please!!

That’s horrifying and fascinating all at the same time

I would also love to hear about the fillers not dissolving

Yes, I heard that about fillers too.

What do you do for your skin?

no you don't

@@nukelaloosh4795 aw ok🤡

What's the secret?

You know what they say about cracks- that’s how the light gets in….

Hi Mary, two ways of looking at this. Yes, you could embrace the aging process, IF that were to make you happy OR you can embrace the the Anti'Aging process, which sounds more in line with the way you're thinking. Neither way is wrong, but for me, why do I want to look old and haggered, when I can reduce that greatly with a few skin products and a bit of skin resurfacing laser work? I hope you can make piece with your desicion. :)

As long as you’re not broke and/or exhausted, anti-aging strategies can be pretty simple.

@Mary Stewart I prefer to age softly!

@@lindanichols3415 hello…I prefer to eat healthy food, lift weights and let the chips fall where they may!

@@lindanichols3415 LOL. Great way to put it Linda. I too prefer to age softly,,,,VERY, very softly, with a bit of help with a few products. Happy Tuesday. :)

I wish they would make them illegal here in the US! I am a high school teacher & what does give me hope, though, is that now my students just do spray tans for Prom etc. Back when I was in high school, everybody went to tanning beds before Prom 😱 😬

I am so jealous you live in Salzburg! Most amazing place I have ever been to! Greetings from Toronto, Canada

What do you use od retinoids? Please help I don't know what is the Best, retinol or tretinol? I m planing to use Ordinary products, what do you use?

What do you use? I am in Germany and can't find anything without prescription.

Whoever insulted must've been jealous of all the happiness you've enjoyed to earn those crows feet ❤

We can thank Pat our editor for that. We just say what we want and he makes it happen and adds his own flare!

Dermatologist, Dr. Dray on YT is a very strong proponent of petrolatum for moisturizing and skin healing. Sone of her very fave products contain 40% or so of it! I’d never go back to that dermatologist you saw. She has proven that she knows very little about her profession.

Castor oil is now mine rather than Vaseline:)

Yes! Men don’t age like fine wine in reality , they are just ‘allowed’ to have wrinkles!

@@Randompotatoes-qs7bm EXCUSE ME BUT IN A EVEN MORE SHALLOW, JUDGMENTAL, VERY HIGH STANDARDS OF WHAT IN ALL MY YEARS OF WHAT PEOPLE CONSIDER GOOD LOOKING, BEAUTIFUL ,PRETTY, HANDSOME OR WHATEVER .. ESPECIALLY IF U GOT THE $$$$ EVERYTIME I LOOK UP OR HEAR SOMEONE R SOMETHING SAID ABOUT THIS GUY OR THAT GUY OR ACTOR, MUSICIAN, THERES NOW MORE PRESSURE ON MEN 2 LOOK REALLY GOOD & AS LONG AS THEY'RE NOT EVEN BALDING A LITTLE , OR GETTING OLDER & LOOKING THEIR AGE. I HEAR IT ALL THE TIME.. OH HE ( JOHN DOE ) USED 2 B GOOD LOOKING

@@Randompotatoes-qs7bm NO NO NO THATS SO NOT TRUE AT ALL !!! ESPECIALLY IT SEEMS THIS DAY & AGE

No they do not.

I’d argue that women age better than men. From what I’ve seen men age a lot faster.

I use clear surgical tape at night to prevent 11's. Cheaper than frownies!Very effective! 64 years old and not a wrinkle.

Clear surgical tape for 11s has been very successful for me as well

Can face exercises build muscle in your face and plump the area up?

@@selfcareforbg2040 I don’t think so. To build up fat/ muscle, I believe healthy fats can be helpful

@@lauraschwartzberg6156 lololol

Your wrinkles are beautiful.

Vanicream would be a superb brand you should use. It was developed by Mayo Clinic physicians for their cancer patients undergoing treatment and had very sensitive skin as a result. Everything in the Vanicream line is incredibly gentle and healing! Face cleanser, daily face moisturizer, sunscreen during the day-then face cleanser and moisturizing cream on face and body at night-are what I recommend. For deep, healing moisturizing of very dry, damaged skin, their ointment is fantastic. Incredibly soothing and spreads like soft butter!

I don't think you are going to change any perception of wrinkles being more attractive than younger looking skin anytime soon if ever .. There is just too much delusion in that one.

@@farahjichi4617 it's a social pressure ...

@@farahjichi4617 All over the world and it's on females Men don't give a shit about there skin. But us females we want to stay great to feel great about ourselves to feel that u can get every guy u liked Even if u don't hav an intenetion to date or mingle we re just intention hoes haha but it's realy a biig big pressure on us from a young age

I am one on those who already have wrinkles but have no chance of living to 60. I've already embraced my gray hair 5 years ago. Even so there's no reason for attempting to look a bit half way decent between now and then.

Can face exercises build muscle in your face and plump the area up?

Did it work ?

@@anyone173 Like Retinol it takes time. Not an immediate fix

I used to get horrible migraines until I healed past trauma, balanced my hormones, regulated my blood sugar, upped my protein intake, upped my magnesium, cut out alcohol, and stopped being vegan/ restricted eating. Maybe trying those things can help you too?? Migraine patterning can be really complicated, wishing you the best.

Oh and I know you mentioned herbs, but these herbal tinctures called Flow Balance and Liver Juice by Organic Olivia, help with the hormonal balance, and if I feel a migraine coming on, I take flow balance and it will stop it right there. So maybe if your situation is caused by imbalanced hormones, these could support you.

What are you using now and why you stopped Botox?

Can you share your routine with me? 🥺 I have lupus too and I’m still struggling to get a very good routine

@@dejanirathompson7502, my program is super easy, but I have different brands for different moods to my skin. If my skin is behaving, I use Paula’s Choice Optimal Hydrating cleanser. If I get a staph infection or my skin is “molting” I use YonKa Cleansing Milk. If my skin is in revolt, I go straight for the Paula’s Choice ultra rich moisturizer then Paula’s Choice daily moisturizing lotion with 30SPF. If my skin is doing well or at least no open wounds, I use the Paula’s Choice BHA exfoliant and her vitamin C booster. Once a week at night I’ll use the 1% retinol treatment. I like the fact that Paula’s Choice isn’t heavy on the fragrance and it seems to work for me. The key is finding a brand or products that don’t make you react, but are also products that work. Good luck on your journey and stay away from those package deals like curology and those MLM products.

@@nicoleallen3079 I

@@dejanirathompson7502 same here. I use vitamin c, e, niacinimide and hylauronic serum it’s super helpful in hyperpigmentation and texture from my lesions. I’d love to see what we use to keep our skin going.

Thank you for replying! I’m from Belize so we tend to use a bit more natural and local things but I think sometimes our type of skin needs a little more to make it healthy. Will look into the options you guys listed. For me I’ve only tried the ordinary toner (at night) and the cerave pm night ultra light face cream.

I’m sorry for your loss ❤️

Hugs Heidi ❤️

Heidi...Thank you for your deeply honest sharing with us. Please share frequently...you provide a good example of how to express this deep stuff. So, hey, now you are a ghood example....Asyou undoubtedly know, depression/grief freezes some folks up,...this gives an ABC. so...Blessings to you, friend and thank you again. Meg Young

My sincerest condolences, I Hope you are still doing better, grief definitely is a long term process. I wish you the very best.

I agree that your sleeping position has a lot to do with how you wrinkle. I was a stomach face down sleeper until I was in my 30's. It didn't hurt my skin when I was that young but I worked hard to learn to sleep on my back and side. I sleep with my face off the pillow. Only my ear and head is on the pillow. I hope I will sleep more on my back but it's pretty hard to know what's happening when you're asleep.

Yes! That would be very interesting. I read recently that (to a very small degree) some grey hair was reversed due to removing stress etc.

I am 67, although I don't look it. During Covid I let my colored brown hair with blonde highlights grow out to gray. It took some work by my stylist, adding lowlights & such but I am so in love with my gray! People compliment me all the time & ask me who does my color... (God). I'd never want to go back...even if it was natural.

Eat 2 brazil nuts a day. I haven't coloured my hair for a year now and I have very little grey hair. I eat 2 brazil nuts a day for the selenium they contain.

@@pamcanfield255 I have had the same experience. I love my grey highlights and get compliments often.. Easier and less expensive too.

Surely hair advice isnt the remit of dermatologists ?

Please share your skincare routine and products with us!

Thank you so much for sharing. The more I operate on young individuals with skin cancer the more passionate I get about keeping people out of tanning beds. Almost every single one came with a history of tanning beds. And the cancers can be fairly aggressive and deforming ones at that -Dr. Maxfield

@@Doctorly yw..😊❤❤

Agree!!

I use 3M transpore tape. Works perfectly.

I know, i used them and they work well. I apply them over my water based serums.

​​@@denisenj7648 Tape is also much cheaper than Frownies.

I enjoy my Frownies and see how it smooths when I use it consistently.

Exactly!
