Please do videos on: 1. Pregnancy safe skincare 2. Postnatal skincare that is safe while breastfeeding 3. Dealing with post pregnancy melasma and hyperpigmentation on the face. Thank you! And love all your videos and the hard work that goes into them!

1 how to remove hyperpigmentation and products recommended. 2 how to remove smile lines (please). 3 how to get tight and firm skin(i am only 22 and started getting soggy skin). I love your videos ❤️

omg I love you! thank you for educating skincare!  3 video ideas: (1) hyperpigmentation for underarms/bikini (2) skincare in your 20s (3) treatment/ recommended products to get rid of pityriasis alba xxx

Video ideas: 1. How to treat the neck wrinkles any skincare products for that? 2. Skincare for different seasons and skin types during each season 3. What to eat in a day to get glowing skin?

Video ideas: 1) Are korean skincare ingredients like ginseng, mugwort, centella asiatica, ferments, honey suitable for SOC 2) Dos and don’ts for SOC 3) Are there any long term side effects of using any actives? If so what are they?

I would like to see a "best of" series when it comes to a categorization of products by skin type(oily, dry, sensitive, mature, combo). I would also love to see more sensitive skin recommendations especially since you said in a previous video you have sensitive skin. 3) Would love to see products recommendations from black owned or minority owned brands. And finally I see a lot of videos talking about dark spots but I have light spots because I am very melanated. This may be considered hyperpigmentation but I get confused with products because they talk about stopping melanin production to lighten the dark spots. I don't think that is the goal especially for people of color. If a video on this already exist, please link it in your reply.

Dr. Vanita, I've learned SO MUCH about skincare for skin of color through your videos. Not only do I appreciate your passion for skincare, but how you are using your platform to change skincare for generations to come and give back to your listeners. You are truly inspiring! Here are my 3 video reccomendations: 1. Purging vs. Breakouts 2. Summer Skincare Routine / An Updated Winter Skincare Routine 3. Using Oil-Based Cleansers and Water-Based Cleansers

I needed this video so thank you. 1) please do a video on anti-aging for mature women with pigmentation. 2) I get a tingling sensation with the ordinary buffet with copper, is that normal? 3) please review Cyspera🙏🏽

Three questions: 1) How to know if vitamin C has oxidized, can we still use it? 2) Can we mix brands like Face Theory, Paula’s Choice, The Ordinary, and Inkey List together in a rountine? 3) How long does it take to see a change in (PIE or PIH)pigmentation from Tranexamic Acid?

I would love to see the following videos: 1. Difference between hydrating and moisturising 2. Difference between emollients and occlusives 3. Simplest (as few layers / steps as possible) routine for combination, olive skin with mild melasma and hormonal acne Thank you SO MUCH for your hard work, Dr. V!! 🙏🏼💖

LOVED this video 😍 3 video ideas: • How to use Azelaic acid? • Recommendations for spf for the body. Should we be using mineral everywhere? • Weekly routines for all skin types just to make things really straight forward for us (even though you're already giving us so much info🙈) When to exfoliate, what products to avoid when exfoliating, when to mask, which actives should be used every night etc x

Firstly I got to thank you for giving us insight on the formulation of products and how to understand what is right for every skin. My 3 questions would be: 1. What is your diet? You had mentioned that once or twice in two videos. 2. How to even the skin. Like there these dips in the skin caused by old acnes. How to treat it? 3.And will the old marks fade?

Your channel is an answered prayer! Thank you so much for your commitment to skincare for POC!

video ideas: •are peel off masks good for skin of colour? •why am i getting niacinamide irritation •how to prevent closed comedones and deep clogged pores

1. How to prevent small bumps (that are later turning into scars)? 2. ALL about tretinoin !! what to use with and what to avoid, as well as your thoughts on it for skin of colour (possibly a few videos on this) 3. Early 20s skin care routine for hyperpigmentation and anti aging thank you Dr. V 💗

Would love a video on layering for anti aging AND hyperpigmentation dry skin day and night rutine
