I came back to this video to say that I shaved my legs using all of these tips and following your product recommendations and my legs have never been softer! This is the best shave I’ve ever had; normally my legs are really bumpy and irritated after shaving but your instructions completely prevented that! Thank you so much for your content, your retinoid video helped me tremendously as well in helping minimize irritation when easing into tretinoin. Thank you for everything you do, I truly can’t thank you enough! Much love, ❤️😊

Dr. Maxfield has a great smile. Even when delivering not so great news, he’s just joyful. But I really like Dr.Shah’s sense of humor. Lol But the content of these videos are just so informative and honest—I’m honestly hooked.

For those of you with sensitive skin and want to save money on shaving. I highly recommend investing into a good DE safety razor. It can be daunting at first, but with a little bit of practice and figuring out what product works will make it all worth it. Blades are extremely cheap, especially compared to disposable, multi-blade razors. Some things you should look for are close-combed, mild ones. For instance, I’d recommend the King C Gillette DE safety razor or the Merkur 34C.

So glad I found your guys’ channel! It’s been a journey trying to sift through all the branding schemes in physical products and sponsored content. Finally a place to find reliable and high quality info for skincare.

You guys rock!

I have used conditioner as a shaving cream for years. I always use a very simple gentle conditioner with limited ingredients. I recommended it to a friend last year and he swears by it as well. Glad to hear a dermatologist talk about this! Thank you both for sharing your knowledge.

Can you guys do a video about body care? E.g. scrubs, body washes, lotions, etc.

[Mdoblue]

Could you do a video of what causes hair loss and how to prevent? Love the honesty felt through your videos!

I’m a Hispanic lady and my legs are completely covered in thick black hair. Anytime I shave I get red, burning, and lots of ingrown hairs. I even try to wear cloths to prevent shaving because it hurts so much. I’m going to try some of these tips and hopefully this will help because I’ve given up for about 3 years now.

[sarahalimova]

Can you make video about ingrown hair after waxing/sugaring? And how to get rid of red marks after ingrown hair:( thank you 🙏😘

[jackieallgayer]

Can y’all talk about pillowcases? Do the different grades of Mulberry silk really make a difference? Are there any studies showing the efficacy of silk pillowcases for anti-aging? Are they generally worth the hype? 💁🏽‍♀️
