How to Wash Your Face like a Dermatologist! | Dr. Shereene Idriss

The technique is genius! I’m so sick of getting water up my sleeves and around the collar of my shirt and all over the floor 😭

Can confirm my skin has never been better since closely following her recommendations for my specific skin concerns.

Let me tell you since you’ve done this video I no longer despise washing my face ! This is how my Mom washed her face. Now I love washing my face !! No more water all over me or the vanity like who wants to get drenched before bed right ? 🤷‍♀️ this is fantastic!!! Sending this also to my children to save on their bathroom messes. Thank YOU 😊

I love your delivery. It's so honest and in your face. Literally.

I KNEW IT!!!!! For a few years now I’ve been lazily forgoing morning washes, just splashing water to clean off “boogers” (note- not usually wearing ANY makeup or mascara for weeks at a time); so besides air pollution it’s really just the oil and lotion I use after my evening shower before bed that remains on my face

This is how I've always washed my face when not actually taking a shower to wash it. Glad to know I've been doing something right for the majority of my life 😊

I was diagnosed with Type II Rosacea about 15 years ago. It took me several years to realize that my foaming cleanser was killing my skin. Now, I know that two things will cause a flare up - not washing my face before bed and/or using a detergent-based cleanser. Purity is pretty much the only thing that soothes my skin back to normal (Rosacea Normal, of course) after a flare up. And, as you say, I don't wash with anything but warm water in the morning. With this strategy, I have been pretty much flare-up free for about 5 years. Thank you for this very important content. Most people have no idea that how they wash their face has such an impact.

Hello! I’m Japanese. While I was watching this video, I found that there is a difference between your way and Japanese way to wash face. In Japan, it is said that rubbing face is not good for skin because the friction will occur some skin damages in the future. For example, increasing wrinkles, losing elasticity, and getting pores open. Dermatologists, beauty specialists and beauty magazines highly recommend NOT to rub the face skin when you cleanse your face, when you wipe with towel, and when you apply the skincare products. I don’t have any harm to you at all, I love your videos and I respect you so much. I really appreciate you because your advice and recommendations are so helpful which products to choose. I just would like to share the difference about rubbing while washing face. If you would like to know more about the frictionless skincare in Japan, there is a famous dermatologist, “TOMORI ARATA”. It would be great if her videos are interesting for you. Thank you always.

I know you had to keep your shirt on for the video, but the best thing to.do in order not to get water on your sleeves, collar, etc., is to take your top off! I've been doing this for years and it's so helpful. I also use wristbands so the water doesn't run down my arms 💖

I used to be an overwasher. My skin would inflame from time to time and became extra sensitive. One of the times when I got an all over bad flare up, the dermatologist told me to stop using foaming cleansers. Being a person thinking I have the oiliest skin, it was a hard switch. But it was the best thing I have done for my face. I like to use a soaking wet washcloth or gauze-y cloth to help remove the cleansing oil (1st cleanse), then my lotion/creamy cleanser, and I have not gone back since. That was more than ten years ago. First step to better skin is definitely gentle cleansing and only using cleansers at night. ❤️

Take off your shirt (or wear a short sleeve) , lean over the tub (if you have one), and wash your face from the tub faucet. I’ve been doing this for over 30 years! Water goes in the tub instead of all over your sink.

I’ve always hated washing my face because of the water getting everywhere. I recently started doing this same technique and total game changer!

I love washing my face twice a day when I’m in the shower. Always multitasking. Works great for me. ❤

I’m the exception. I tried not washing face in the am with mild cleanser and I broke out so badly. I spent so much more money going several times to two derms when I finally decided to go back to my usual routine of mild cleanse in the morning.

You’ve changed my skin ne my life dr!!! I can never thank you enough! ❤ Honestly I’ve stopped watching 1000 different channels which we’re doing nothing for my skin. There is so much onslaught of unnecessary information. I look up your videos for my specific skin concern and you’ve made more difference in 1 year than I have seen in 5 years of my skincare journey ❤

After watching this when it first appeared i bought a package of a dozen small soft chamois clothes. I love it. Thank you for all your instructional content. Truly appreciated

Love this technique. I usually have water all over the floor and soak my clothes. I can't wait to try your method, You are adorable!

I've been following you for two/three months and I'm learning that consistency and fewer products spread at random are the perfect combo. Here in the deep north of Italy the cold that makes you sick hasn't arrived yet, so for the moment I'm coping well with autumn, thanks to your precious videos 💙 and my wallet thanks you very much too

Your technique makes so much sense. It also saves flooding my bathroom because few bathroom sinks are good for splashing techniques. Thank you.

I love this doctor how she’s showing us step-by-step everything😘😘
