As a 75 year old woman I feel qualified to say, you’re going to be a lot happier if you accept and embrace the natural process of aging. Focus on your health and learn to love yourself as you are in the moment of life you’re in.

Trying to balance taking care of our skin, hair, what we eat, our mental health, physical health, getting enough sleep & water… all of it is a lot to juggle daily. Everyone be kind to yourself & do your best🩷

I’m a licensed aesthetician and this is the first time I’m hearing a dermatologist admit that our lifestyle, what we eat, and how we feel about ourselves effects our skin. I’ve been saying this forever! Your skin is a direct reflection of what’s going on mentally, physically and spiritually. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💛✨

Wow! Props, she didn’t promote her own skin care line. She had every opportunity. Respect this immensely!!! Thank you. I’m over videos peddling products.

Dr. Idriss ❤🙌 Over the years, I’ve watched every video she’s released and have learned a ton about skin care. She’s not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but she truly cares about educating people. I’m so happy she’s finally getting the recognition she deserves.

I experienced severe cystic acne into my 30's. What was my CURE? I stopped eating SUGAR, High Fructose Fruits and began eating more green vegetables and drinking plenty of water. Many people are Insulin Resistant meaning TOO MUCH SUGAR AND JUNK CARBS IN THEIR DIETS. The results were amazing. THE END!
