Thank you God an actual dermatologist (Medical Doctor) explaining stuff and not a self proclaimed expert / aesthetician ❤️❤️

[alliel]

As someone trying to stay off of Instagram and TikTok, I really love and appreciate your YouTube videos!

[StephanieKoathes]

Your channel is exploding! That's what happens when you share bomb content. It's so so helpful to have professionals out here sharing the knowledge. Merci beaucoup pour tout que tu partages! ❤️ From Jamaica

I swear your husband just loves to watch you teach. He stays there like 😍. He's hilarious.

One thing that always baffles me - sunscreens are very expensive. To find a good non-irritating, non-sticky, elegantly looking sunscreen, you need to start with £25 (I'm UK based) and go up for 50/60 ml containers. Especially if you are looking for cruelty-free brands. Last summer I just bought a cheap broad-spectrum 'beach' sunscreen for outdoors activities and gave up looking 'good'.

You should talk about how Asia and Europe have more advanced chemical filters for better UVA protection than we have in the US. I recently started using the LaRoche Posay Anthelios Shaka Fluid with Spf 50 and it supposedly has the most UVA protection of any sunscreen made. It’s also safe for sensitive eyes. You have to get the European version though to get the better UVA coverage.

Feeling lowkey proud of myself because 5 of my friends are wearing sunscreen every single day now because I gave them a whole ass presentation 😂😂
Edit: Im actually so impressed that you included the part about physical sunscreens doing a little bit of boath! Even some really credible dermatologist still think that physical sunscreens work only by scattering uv👍👍

I died when the husband just casually stands there eating his banana hahaha. Thanks for sharing your knowledge here Dr. 💜

Quick warning guys: A creator here on YouTube contacted First Aid Beauty about the grittiness of the sunscreen. They actually acknowledged that its not meant to be gritty and that they are going to fix it. This very recently so I would encourage everyone to be a little cautious(its probably fine but its worth noting)

I’m studying to become an esthetician and I absolutely love the science behind the skin and ingredients. You are educated in this field and I firmly believe we need more of that in a world full of “beauty/skin influencers”

[IEnjoyYourMusic]

I battled with acne scars and pigmentation for years and it was only when I listened to Dr. Idriss and started wearing sunscreen and vitamin c that it started getting better!

The Fenty one is LOVELY. Completely transparent, smells super fresh, and leaves such a dewy light finish. Rihanna didn't just slap her name on something, she really took her time with this. 👌🏾

[jolenemurray]

I love your channel ❤ I'm so tired of people on YouTube demonizing sunscreen.

[denisesheppard]

Hi Shereen, my daughter Amanda told me how great you are, and now I’m obsessed with all your videos and Pillow Talk! Thank you for educated me on the best way to take care of my skin!!!! Keep up the great work.

[brookerthebaker]

I am so glad Allure had the video with this lovely lady and she has been the cause of my skincare obsession hehe

[PetraHapsari]

Finally.. a video that can help me explain to my husband why wearing sunscreen is important. 😌

[ramram]

I wish I could get an actual Derm appointment with you 😂. My problems would all go away, I swear.

[albertqhumperdinck]

In addition to your knowledge and sense of humour, I gotta say I also really admire your ability to acgnowledge your husband loitering in the background eating a banana but without letting it derail you from what you are talking about. This is real-world adaptability and grace and rolling with the punches and I love to see it.

"everything in life is nuanced, shades of grey" uhm I didn't realize we were in for a philosophical ride as well! I LOVE IT.

[derangedcultist]

Love the violet fashion choices. So ultra fitting!
