Let's see, we're live, I think. Let's do this. Oh, I forgot about this. Good morning, it is Sunday. I don't know how many people are here. It feels really nice. I forgot I had this. Um, happy Sunday. I'm going to wait till this opens up. What the heck? Oh, it just fell. Oh, what's this? I have no idea what this is, but something just fell. Anyway, good morning. Hello, Kelly. How are you guys? It is Sunday morning. We're doing a final YouTube, um, live Final Sephora Stay Alive. I want to see— hold on, I don't need to reload this. Um, there's no way to share my screen with you guys, so I'm going to see if I could do this over here. If you guys could see over here as we're adding stuff on, but it's on the Sephora storefront. I don't know how— I'm actually trying to figure out right now, how can I pin a comment? Happy Sunday. Good morning. Um, Kelly, don't place third order. Oh my God. What's the best for losing face? Okay, today we're going to be talking about Sephora sale. We have 30 minutes before I have to go out for lunch. Um, I'll be trying to answer some questions about your biggest skin problems while trying to add stuff into the Sephora storefront. I'm trying to figure out over here— I know that's a poll, that's this. Um, let me see, let me see. Um, Can I tell you guys, I am losing track of what is what— Instagram, YouTube, TikTok. I am like losing track of how to like work on these different lives, so you guys are gonna have to bear with me. I apologize. Um, over here in the description, can we— how do I— okay, do you guys know how to pin? Oh, there we go. I think Tiffany just did it. That is the Sephora storefront. I think over here we're going to pin this message. Perfect, I pinned it so you guys can see it. It's on the chat. So as we're going to be doing this, what I'll do is I'm going to make this a little bit smaller, um, so I can actually see you guys. And then I'm going to go on the portal. Let's do this over here. Over here, and I have my storefront open so we can easily start adding things as it goes, um, as the live goes live. Hey, that's my son. Okay, good morning, we're on, we're here, we're together. It is 11:30. Good evening from Manila. Oh wow, what time is it in the Philippines right now? I have no idea. Can you guys hear me? I can't see you guys in the chat. I'm moving. I can't tell if what I'm doing is actually making any sense today. Okay, there we go. All right, so a moisturizer that's great under sunscreen and makeup and a bit glowy for summer. I mean, so I don't know if you guys know, but I have a brand called Dr. Idriss, and we've updated our moisturizer, the Active Seal, which is now like this. It looks exactly the same to the naked eye, but we've added glutathione to it. It's what I have on my skin. I have a little bit of makeup on. Because I'm going out for lunch. But it is a nicer— that's my nephew who's a troublemaker— um, gel moisturizer with glutathione, and it gives a very nice hydrating glow. It is not a very heavy moisturizer, so it's great for most skin types in various weather climates. But if you're someone who's very dry in a very dry environment, you might need something a little bit thicker on top. Um, and when it is very, very humid, I usually opt for a lighter amount of this, or I just go just for my Hyper Serum underneath my sunscreen. So that's sort of how I pull back, push forward, depending on how the weather is. Um, I have updated it to the Sephora storefront. I wish I could share my screen with you guys, um, but you can't share a screen, I don't believe, on a YouTube Live, which kind of sucks, to be honest. What did I just do? I don't know what I just did. Are you guys still here? I think— okay, I think we're still here. Um, But yeah, so that is what I recommend in my Sephora storefront. So I'm going to just show you guys over here. That is my nephew again. Hi. Oh, Leith, don't show your face. I try to hide their faces. Leith, je dis non, je dis non. Hi. Bisous. Fais ton visage. Okay, okay. Um, sorry, I know, but I don't know how to use StreamYard. I have no idea what that is. Um, I have no idea. Sorry guys, these kids are just everywhere all over this house. Um, for thinning hair, I'm going to show you what I've loaded. I have pinned it in the comment section on the right, but Living Proof has their Scalp Care Density Serum, which I've been using for a few years on and off. And the thing that I like about it is that it's not heavy. So even if you do use it— and I use it mostly at night because I shower in the morning— my hair is not a mess the next day. So like Rogaine foam, my hair looks like a mess the next day, but with the Living proof scalp density serum. It isn't. Um, I recommend an alternative to The Ordinary's azelaic acid. So the Reducer Serum, which is my brand, has azelaic acid in the serum. Now this is not it, this is a prototype of something else, so ignore the yellow color and the messy cap. It's not the actual serum in this, but it looks like this, um, and it's called the Reducer Serum, and it is over here in my storefront that I have linked. And it is an azelaic acid serum as well. Um, does it actually work? Listen, I'm going to be very, very honest when it comes to hair loss specifically, and you're talking about— there are so many various different causes for hair loss and it's not all created equal. It's— is it hormonal? Is it female pattern? This is the Reducer Serum, by the way. This is the azelaic acid serum from my line, the green one. Um, it's impossible to tell you if it actually works because I don't have a clear view into your medical history. But if it is purely hormonal pattern hair loss, my philosophy with it is that you want to throw the kitchen sink and try to save your hair follicles as much as humanly possible through vitamins, right? Are supplements like Nutrafol going to create newness? Probably not. But is it going to keep the hair on your head longer? Probably yes. So that's number one. Number two, topicals like minoxidil, Rogaine. Sure, use it. Some people like myself get a little bit irritated by it, so I can't always tolerate it. Living Proof is a serum that you can use every night on your scalp, and it doesn't ruin your hair completely. It's like a very lightweight serum. So why not use it? I don't— I know, I think it's a good idea. Then you have, obviously, if you really want to go the extra mile, you can use a retinol on your scalp. You can use Nizoral shampoo, which is ketoconazole. You can get a prescription for ketoconazole. But then taking it a step further, going on pills enough, it's like you just want to do everything, including PRP, including medications that are prescribed to save your hair follicles. Why is it important to save your hair follicles? Because if you allow it to progress too far, especially in female pattern hair loss, you're going to lose those hair follicles, quote unquote, forever. And then it's going to be scarred down. And then there is like a point of no return where you can never regain them back. So that's why I believe in just doing everything upfront to try to save them and then trying to pare it back so it becomes more of a realistic approach in terms of maintenance. Um, for dark circles, on the Sephora storefront I have linked, um, eye creams. So number one, this is a Retinol Firming Eye Cream, which is retinol for the under eyes. This can also be used around your mouth and your neck, which tends to be areas that are much more sensitive overall to retinols. So it's a nice one to incorporate. Um, there Also, I have linked, I believe, Augustinus Bader's eye cream, which is a very nice eye cream with their TFC-8 technology. Um, and this is a time to try it because at least you can get it on sale. Um, and then the— if you want like a basic eye cream, you can get like a Kiehl's Avocado Eye Cream. There's also the Extreme Cream Eye Firming Cream by the In Beauty Project, which people really like as well. Um, 'Est-ce que votre boutique livre au Canada?' In Canada, we are at all Sephoras across Canada as well. So yes, we do sell direct-to-consumer in Canada, so you can go on our website, dridris.com, but you can also take advantage of the Sephora sale in Canada, um, and get these products in Canada as well. So if you are interested in trying my products from Dr. Idriss, then I would go to Sephora Canada because it is the last day of the Sephora sale. Um, so I have reactive and sensitive skin. Is there any retinol and vitamin C you would recommend? This is a vitamin C moisturizer that's a vitamin C ester, so it's the quieter form of vitamin C, which is better suited towards sensitive skin. I use this twice a day. For dark pigment, I try yours but it's not working for me. Sad. So pigmentation is something that is multiple layers in depth, right? There is number one— I don't know if that was English, but number one, sun damage. Number two, melasma. And melasma is not created equal because you have really deep melasma called dermal melasma and more superficial melasma. The deeper the melasma, the more you're going to have to go towards prescriptions, and no over-the-counter is ever going to treat it. Number three, your behavioral patterns. So when you have pigmentation, you have discoloration, you have to avoid the sun. You have to be wearing sunscreen, you have to be wearing a hat. You have to really be very careful as well, because anything is going to wake it up and cause it to reappear. So even if you're using hydroquinone, if you're out in the sun, it's going to wake up. And hydroquinone is the gold standard. So you have to really make sure that you are also, from a behavioral standpoint, helping yourself when it comes to discoloration. It's not just the skincare. It's like, it's really a lifestyle. So for me, I was in Antigua last week. Um, I actually— I'm doing a little test. I have makeup on, but I did not use any skincare on my right cheek, and I was only using it on my left. And the difference between my left cheek and my right cheek without makeup— I'm gonna do a video tomorrow— is quite impressive. Um, but I'll show you guys how skincare can minimize your pigment from waking up, but it doesn't mean that you're never gonna have zero pigmentation. Okay. Um, so what skincare— oh, so during chemotherapy. So we have a video on YouTube about skincare throughout radiation and chemo. Um, if you Google Shereene Idriss chemotherapy skincare, you'll find it. But you'll find it there. Um, what did I use today on my hair? Today I literally just washed it, didn't use any products. I just used the shampoo and conditioner from Living Proof. Um, but there's nothing, nothing in here to style it. I just dried it and finished. I do take minoxidil pills. The— hold on. Canada. Merci. You're welcome. What about skin pigmentation from friction? Is it different? Yes, because like I said, skin pigmentation from friction is very much linked to behavior. So let's say, for example, you're somebody who wears a lot of necklaces and you're getting discoloration here, or you're having discoloration because you're just constantly rubbing. Rubbing is going to cause that discoloration. When you stop the rubbing, you're not going to make the discoloration worse, but it doesn't mean that that discoloration is going to disappear on its own. This is where skincare can make a difference, but your behavior has to also line up with the fact that you stopped rubbing. I don't know if another kid popped in there. Oh my God, look at— that's another kid. There are kids all over this house. I'm just— okay, I just don't like their faces on social. Okay. Um, all right, so that is this. So hey guys, if you guys are just joining, we are live because we are covering the last day of the Sephora sale, which is happening now across the US and Canada. Um, my brand Dr. Idriss is at all Sephoras in the US and Canada, um, and you guys can get it there on sale. Um, I think the kids are out. Lele, can you close the door please? Reya, can you close my door please? Thank you. No worries. Um, thanks. Okay, now I know there are no kids. Okay, I just don't like— I'm very protective of the kids and I just don't want their faces online. I just don't. Um, especially with all the fucking weirdos that we're learning about nowadays. So I apologize for that. Um, okay. Alrighty, alrighty, alrighty. Um, I'm getting your products today. Your brand is beautiful. I use your deal. Thank you so much. That cute mini pack is also, uh, by the registers in the mini sections. It is by the registers in the mini sections. We now have them in the duo where you have the serum and the moisturizer. And what's very exciting about this is that it comes at $44 or $62 Canadian, whereas it's a $54 value or a $76 Canadian value. This is meant to be great for travel And if you really want— this is something that's going to last you 2 weeks. If you put 4 dots of the serum and a pump of the moisturizer, you will get 2 weeks worth of the products. I have tested this, I have used it myself. Unless you're overusing it and you're heavy on your squeezing, it will last you obviously less. But if you're doing it correctly, like how much would come out of the Hyper Serum, it will last you 2 weeks. Um, hi Shereene from Ireland, I adore you. I love my Irish nerds. I just had surgery on my stomach. Oh no, to fix the hernia. I think from following you and your amazing advice, do you recommend Vaseline the first 2 weeks? So I think initially, as the scar is healing in the first 2 weeks, you want to be very, very gentle on it, and you want to be very, very sensitive, like just very, very like conscious what you're putting on a scar. So Vaseline is fine. After 2 weeks, once the skin starts to heal, between week 2 and week 6, that's when you can introduce things like the Hyper Serum, which will target the pigment and a little bit of redness. And I would also use, when I had my surgery, the Depuffer on my scars that were red with a silicone tape. So that was very helpful. You guys can get these on the Sephora sale, which is linked and pinned in the comment section to the right. So, oh, let me add this to the— you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to add what shampoo and conditioner, because I did use the Living Proof one today. So I'm going to add this to the collection right now. Oh no, how do I do this? Product. Let's do this from the Sephora catalog. I want to do it with you guys actually. Here so you guys can see. So let's do this now. I'm updating it as we speak, um, so that you can find what I just used. I used— oh, by the way, this is great too. I should add that one, the Triple Bond Complex. I did not have it. I actually was thinking of ordering it, having it delivered to the house. Um, I used the Perfect Hair Day shampoo and conditioner hair set, this one. That's what I used. I added it to my storefront so you guys have that there. This is also really good if you have weak or brittle hair. I ran out of it and I was thinking about literally having it Instacarted to my house this morning, but I didn't because I was like, I didn't have time. But those are— so I did not use that this morning, but I do use this particular thing for my ends, especially after the beach where it gets a little bit— as you can tell, it's a little bit dry. Okay. So that's the shampoo I used. Um, all right, my travel moisturizer has turned yellow. So we have switched the formulation. The new formula, if you guys are looking to buy it, starts with a G, and this is the one with glutathione, and it is white and pure white, and it does not turn yellow at all. So this is great, um, if you are looking in the travel size, it should be with the G as well. Let me just triple check that. So you guys can see it, there's like a double G over here. That's the one with glutathione. Okay, um, what makeup do I use? So I actually— do you guys follow me on Instagram? I'm curious if you guys follow me on Instagram. I know we're talking to YouTube people today, but I'm curious if you guys are on Instagram and follow me on Instagram. I did a live on Friday where I was literally getting ready at 6:00 AM, um, and I had shared with you guys how I do my makeup, which is exactly what I did today. It's nothing special, but I shared how I do my makeup because oftentimes I get asked that question. And so if you follow me on Instagram, it is the live, which is a— it's a 20-minute get ready with me because it takes me 20 minutes just to get ready from A to Z. Um, I think you even see me going, putting on my jewelry, walking out of the house. Um, but, uh, you guys can follow along there. All the makeup that I use is on the Sephora storefront. So the foundation that you're asking is I hate heavy foundation and I just do not like the feeling of anything heavy on my face. So I sheer it out a lot, um, but I put it on the back of my hands and it's the Dior Perfect Skin whatever. So I'll put it on the back of my hands and then I'll take a drop of— and I'll show you guys over here, um, literally all of this stuff is stuff I use— the Danessa Myricks, um Beauty Oil with gold leaf, that guy over here. So I'll put a drop of that, I will thin it out completely, and then I'll just lightly put it on top because I think my skin is very, very pale, as you guys can tell. And sometimes I can look a little bit unalive because I'm so pale, especially depending on the time of the month. So that is why I put a little bit of color because I'm so, so pale. Um, on all platforms, so you guys will catch it. It's this one if you're following me on Instagram. I'll show you which one it is. It is— if you want to watch it, literally you'll see me do it from A to Z. Oh, there I am. But that's me at 6 AM, puffy. It's funny because someone was like, you have too much filler. I'm like, dude, I'm just puffy as hell in the morning. Um, I haven't done filler in a while, but you can see how puffy I am here at 6 AM versus— I guess, what time is it? Almost noon. It really is amazing. Okay, anyway, you guys can follow that and see how I do the makeup. Um, I do, but I never see you on there. I have to double check. It's weird, the algorithm, it shows you— I can't, you know, I'm not in control over that algorithm. Um, okay, I love Violette FR. Okay, so do I, and I put them in the— I put them in the, what's it called, storefront. And it's funny because this is my makeup bag, by the way. I love Ziploc bags, it's terrible. And I take them with me on the weekends because we have a place out in the countryside, but Violette, my sister came up and she goes, why are you like contouring your lips? I was drying my hair earlier today. I was like, I'm not contouring my lips. I literally just do this. Like, I could do it with my eyes closed because I don't even like— and it just kind of sits on my— it looks— and I kind of go like this just to clean it up, but it looks like I contoured my lips because she's like, why are you overlining your lips? I'm like, I'm really not. I'm just applying this on my lips. So I love Violette, the Bisous Balm. This is in Amour Fou, which is the red color. It was a little intimidating when I first saw this, but it literally— it depends how much you want to build it up. Yeah, you can build it, it can look redder if you really want, but if you just want a little color without too much redness, very, very nice. And it's super soft. But leave it to my sister to be like, why are you over contouring your lips? And I'm like, I'm not. And then she tried it and she goes, oh, I like it now. I'm like, yeah, okay, thanks for making fun of me. So anyway, this is my makeup bag. This is my brush bag that I clean every Sunday. So the Ziplocs on the brush bags I do switch out because I clean those. And then my skincare bag that I travel back and forth with. But yeah, the balm smells so good too. You want to know what smells so good? And I did link this. And the reason I use this is because of the smell. Um, I might have linked the wrong smell, but Huda Beauty, guys, have you smelled the Cherry Peach Cherry Blossom Cake? I don't know, it's an Easy Bake Duo Cherry Blossom Cake Peach Pie. Okay, so I guess I never realized it was a duo, to be honest with you. Have you guys smelled this? I do. Ziploc does need to sponsor me. Have you guys smelled the Huda Beauty Cherry Blossom Peach It's like a mix of gardenia. I don't know what the smell is, but I open it in the morning when I'm getting ready because it just makes me happy to smell it. Um, and it's— oops, where did you guys go? Are you guys here? Uh-oh, hold on. Oh, there you are. Um, but yeah, so I'm curious if you guys have smelled this. I have linked this in my Sephora storefront as well. I just— let me check if I put the right one. Um, I'm going to just triple check it. Because if you have not smelled this, divine. Let me, let me add it. I didn't realize it was a double, to be honest with you. I had no idea. But it is the Cherry Peach, which is basically Peach Pie and Cherry Blossom. Hold on, Huda Beauty. If you have not smelled this stuff, I don't know, I feel bad. You have to. Have you smelled it? Yes, it's a nice scent. Um, I'm obsessed. If I could put scent in my skincare, I probably would, but I think as a dermatologist cosmetologist, you guys would all freak out if I did that. Um, let's do this. Let's see this. Let's see this. Okay, here we go. It's this one. I didn't realize it was two. Yes, Cherry Peach Select. Um, I just added it to the storefront, so I, I had linked the wrong one, but it's this one. It's this Easy Bake loose powder that's basically two different scents in one— her Cherry Blossom Cake and her Peach Pie. It's amazing. It is amazing. Um, mine, it does— the smell doesn't last that much on my skin, so I leave it open as I'm getting ready because it just makes me happy in the morning. It's amazing. Um, it really does limit— oh, I'm sorry, Tinsley Stokes, that you're allergic to fragrance. But that's why everything Dr. Idriss is fragrance-free. So people are like, why does this have a scent? Everything you're smelling is from the ingredients themselves. So you're smelling the arnica in this, you're smelling the actual different ingredients that we're using in the various different products. So that's what you're smelling. We're not making it unscented. Unscented is not fragrance-free. Unscented basically means that they're using something to mask the scent. So it takes away the sense of all the different ingredients that you're putting in your skincare. So it neutralizes things, but there's something there that is masking it. So if you're allergic to fragrance, you might be allergic to things that are unscented. And then obviously fragrance is like whatever the heck she put in this, which smells amazing. We do not have any of that in our skincare. You're using the lip baste right now. The lip baste is my jam. It is something I use every single night because I lick my lips and I need to stop. If you do not know what it is, the duo right over here is sold together at the sale where you have the lip peel and you have the lip baste. The peel is meant to help smoothen your lips and the base is meant to help smooth, soothe and protect and hydrate your lips. Lips. But a lot of people do not know this: you can use the peel around your eyes as long as you don't have any history of infections or cold sores around your lips. You can even roll it on your fingers and use it around your eyes at night because the skin around your eyes hardly ever gets exfoliated because it's so delicate. So you cannot use something like the Flash Mask, which is my exfoliating mask, but you can absolutely— I don't think I have it here— you can absolutely use the Lip Peel around the skin around your eyes, um, if you're trying to exfoliate this area, which comes in handy as you get wiser in life, because as we get older, our skin does not renew itself as regularly. And so to help yourself exfoliate the dead skin cells makes your skin look smoother, makes you look more radiant, allows for newness to come in. And so you can use the Lip Peel on the skin around your eyes as long as there's no active infection and you're not transferring the roller from your mouth to your under eyes where there was an infection, because that would be bad. Um, I, I don't put my face in cold ice in the morning. I use this to reduce my puffiness. Um, I usually use this around my eyes. On Friday, as you guys could see, I did not use it because I was rushing and it was literally 6:45, 7. I don't know what time I did that video because we had an 8:00 AM meeting. Um, but I normally use that around my eyes and it works really well and it works very, very quickly. I don't like feeling cold like that, so I will not stick my face in an ice water bath because I just don't like the feeling. Um, I have two lip peels, one for my eyes, one for my lips. Yes, thank you so much, you're very smart. Um, all right, I use the lip peel and the Berries lip balm. Oh, it's the best. My favorite one was the apricot, it was limited edition. Um, lip peel underneath the eyes, do you put moisturizer afterwards? I do. So I will use it the same way in a nighttime routine as I'm exfoliating my face. It's exfoliating the gentle skin around the eyes, and then I'll lock it in with my moisturizer at night. I genuinely, genuinely use my products. The purp— these two are the ones that I will never skip out on. I don't use the green ones as often because I don't struggle so much with that active rosacea, but I do use the purple ones every single night and the Depuffer in the morning. Anyone else being denied access to Dr. Idriss's page? Where are you being denied access to my page? Is it okay to use glycolic acid for your under eyes? You have to be careful because glycolic acid is much stronger. So in the lip peel, it's glucanolactone, which is the glycolic acid cousin, if you want. But glycolic acid itself, depending on the percentage, depending on the formulation, I would not use my flash mask, which is 15% glycolic acid, under my eyes. This. It's too strong and it's going to irritate your skin, and the last thing you want is to constantly be irritated or inflamed. Um, I don't know the nail polish of this. I found a new manicurist, she's much better, but I don't know the color. I just picked the color. I don't know what it's called, to be honest with you. I'll make a better mental note. Um, is the flash mask safe for sensitive souls? I used to say be careful, and I have been shocked at how many sensitive souls have told me that they like the flash mask. I think because it is glycerin-based and it is loaded in glycerin, that it's hydrating, that it kind of counteracts the harshness of an exfoliating acid. That being said, if you're sensitive, I will still tell you, test spot it first, like on the front of your ear, maybe for 2 or 3 nights, just to make sure that you're not reactive. It does have a spice to it that has nothing to do with your sensitivity. Everyone kind of feels that spice maybe for 20 seconds up to a minute, and your skin kind of acclimates after a while. Um, so don't be scared of the spicy feeling. Watch your skin and how your skin responds afterwards. Around your eyes, not a good idea. But it is also linked on the Sephora storefront, um, so you guys can find it there. Yes, I do highlight my hair. If you guys want to see, I am growing a bald— not a bald patch, a white patch. This, you see it? You see how this patch of white right here? So having to do the highlights more regularly helps hide the white patch. It's like literally a Cruella de Vil just patch right here. Um, it is what it is. Um, can you do a video on your breast reduction? I don't think I'll do a whole YouTube video on that. Should I use a double serum from Clarence in rotation with my retinaldehyde? The double serum from Clarence is just a really nice hydrating serum. Um, if you need to rotate your retinaldehyde because you can't tolerate it, sure. You can even probably marry it to the nights that you're using your retinaldehyde. I have linked the retinaldehyde— I've linked to the double serum from Clarence if you guys don't know what she's talking about to the Sephora storefront. It is this guy over here. Um, I use it on my neck, and I have found, especially in the winter as the air is drier, it does help with the look of creepiness, um, that people kind of get on their neck, that like chicken skinny thin skin look, because of how, you know, lipid rich it is. Um, it is spicy. The Enflash mask is spicy, but it doesn't mean that you're sensitive. It just your pH acclimating, but it's something that people have to understand. Um, I got a haircut and didn't realize how much gray I had until I saw it on the floor. I'm sorry. Um, is the flash mask safe to use when pregnant? If I were pregnant, I would use the flash mask. The brand will never come out and say that you can use this in pregnancy because that's a liability, but I would use it. Me as Shereene Idriss would use my flash mask if I were pregnant. Um, there are very few lip SPFs that I like because I hate the taste of the chemicalness like I don't like how chemically lip SPFs taste and it gives me a headache. Can you guys hear the kids? It's like they're like, they're going wild outside. Okay, can you guys hear them? I'm so sorry. Okay, I'm like, where's my husband? He should be— I thought he wasn't on daddy control. Apparently not. Okay, hold on. So there's like 4 kids that are either going to attack— yeah, anyway, whatever. They're gonna be fine. It's fine, it's fine. Whatever. They're like, they're over— they're not toddlers. They're gonna be fine. Okay. Can you do a spot treatment with the flash mask daily? You can do a spot treatment with the flash mask daily. Wow, they're really gonna break the house. Um, so So fun story, my mom, God bless, is— and I say this with love, I say this with a lot of love, I don't say this as an insult, there's nothing passive-aggressive about what I'm saying, but she's a skincare dummy, okay? And even after I started my brand, for a while she would refuse to use my products because she was so obsessed with La Prairie, and I was like, your skin doesn't look that good, but if you want to spend hundreds of dollars, you do you. Until finally she decided to give my products a try. And she would take the Flash Mask, and I never actually walked her through it because I didn't think she was going to try my products, very honestly, because she was so obsessed with La Prairie. And after 2 months, she calls me. I didn't know she was using it. And she's like, you know, your products actually work. And I'm like, whenever someone says actually work, it's such a passive-aggressive dig. But I'm like, oh, thanks, you know, like, what do you think? And then she was like, no, no, no, I'm serious. And I'm like, okay, wow, Mom, thanks. Why? She goes, because I had brown spots on the back of my hand. Hands. And the first thing I was like, wait, you're using it on the back of your hands? Like, what are you talking about? And she goes, and I was using your mask— and she talks like this— every day on my brown spots on the back of my hand. And I put the mask on the spot, I put the mask on the spot, and now it's gone. And I was like, first of all, genius. Maybe you are, you know, like a beauty skincare dummy, but you're actually a skincare genius. Because she was using it on the back of her hands and sunspots that she had left. So Kelly Babbis, babe, I followed your mom's tip on my hands and it worked. I know it worked because I had not told her about this, and I'm glad that it worked for you. Um, but she was using it literally on her hands to clear her sunspots on the back of her hands, and that is how she decided that she would then take my skincare and use it on her face. And I've shared her before and afters on the Dr. Idriss Instagram page. I don't know if you guys follow Dr. Idriss on Instagram. Um, let me see if I'll show you her before and after. But I have shared her before and afters about how now she's like obsessed with stuff that I create. Thank God. Thanks, Mom. Um, but where is her before and after? Let's see, let's see. Um, I will see where is she. She's somewhere up here. She's somewhere. It was before my birthday that I posted her. Where is my mommy? Um, I don't know, she's somewhere. Tiff, do you know where my mom is? Which one is— which one's my mom? Because sometimes they put a different cover. Oh, there she is! Here she is. So this is my mom. That's— oh, let's go back. That was— how do I— hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. There, go back. Ah, before and after. Okay, she's messaging me now. Hold on, she's not on YouTube, so that's just weird. She can always hear. Hi, Mommy. Hi, Mommy. Okay, so you guys see, this is her before and after, and that was her skin on La Prairie. She's finally happier. And that was her in the morning. And the cherry on top, she lets me take pictures of her and my dad. Yeah, that was in the morning. These results are in your control. That's my face. But anyway, you guys can see her before and after. But it was funny because she did not acquiesce to using my products for a while. It was kind of like, okay, whatever, you know, you're not going to tell somebody to get rid of what they love using. So I wasn't going to sit down and convince her until she decided to try it on the back of her hands. Okay, well, I love you too, Lucy. Hannah, Hannah, Lucy. Tretinoin and vitamin C, you got to be careful if it's the active form of vitamin C. If you're using it with an ester form of vitamin C, you can use it together. This is the ester form of vitamin C. Um, just fully bought in now. Fabulous. Okay, Nikki, fine, you're like my mom. Maybe my mom should do a live, but the problem is my mom's a little rough around the edges. I'm a little rough around the edges, but I don't know, my mom is rough around the edges. I don't think I would trust her fully to be live on her own. I would be very nervous about the things that are going to come out of her mouth. And so I don't know. All right. I love your new active seal formula, Antihero 4.6. Thank you so much. I do too. It took me— we were like working in the background on it for over a year. It's very hard to switch a formulation, especially when you're at a retailer like Sephora, because they buy stock like 6 months ahead of time. So you're always delayed. And I wanted to get this out sooner. So I'm so glad that we were able to do it. And I'm so glad that you guys are loving it as much as you're loving it. Please leave a review on sephora.com. It helps the brand because it's a brand new product, and so we need to rebuild the reviews for the Active Seal. So if you guys have tried it and you love it, please leave a review on sephora.com. It really does help, um, people get the word out. Um, so general eye cream depends on what your needs are. I like eye creams with a purpose. Either it's an eye cream that's brightening with actives there that are meant to brighten your under eyes. I like eye creams that are also meant to help to stimulate collagen, like with the retinol. So it really just depends. If you want something that is just thick, you could use a combination of this and this together. It's still lightweight. It's not thick enough. Um, Kate Somerville has a great retinol eye cream. Augustinus Bader is a thicker, richer eye cream with their own proprietary TFC8. This is a great time to try it out. I've pinned below the Sephora sale that you guys can find it at. Um, are we coming out with summer pajamas? I don't think so because we're really trying to focus on the new Active Seal and the Major Fade line and really get the word back out. Um, once that has been up and running and you guys are leaving a lot of reviews on sephora.com, then maybe we'll get back to the pajama game. I do miss the pajama game, I'm not gonna lie, you guys. Um, my skin— your skincare advice has changed my life. Um, you've educated so Alinea 2622, thank you so much. I would not use skincare products to remove skin tags at all. Um, do you ship your products to the UK? We do ship from Dr. Idriss to the UK, but not from Sephora. Um, I use Dr. Idriss products as eye creams. I do too. In the winter, I do find, as I'm also 42 now and I have started to experience that loss of hydration, so wanting something thicker for the under eyes, I understand better now. Um, and so using a thicker eye cream on top of it is— sometimes I do do that. Um, I don't believe in exosome injections. Um, I do not, at least not in the US. It's not FDA approved, and so I will not do it because I don't want to risk losing my license if, God forbid, there's a weird complication. Um, so I'm not there. I'm not in line with your doctor, Dona Loney 82. Your products and education has changed my life. Do you ship to Turkey? No, we don't. Um, you're— it's really helping to fade the spot. Well, they will be— will be new with this line. Your major fate is— help, I don't understand the question. Um, is the Flash Mask not on Sephora? Periwinklestar9100. 9100. It is on Sephora. Let me just double check the Flash Mask. So this is the storefront. Where is my flash mask? Oh my God, these kids are so loud. Here, she's over here. That's the flash mask. It is on the Sephora storefront that I am linking over here. Um, so I'm 44 and I have puffy pillows beneath each eye. If the puffy pillows get worse and less worse over time, it's probably inflammation. If they're always there, it's probably a fat pad that you have to take care of surgically with. You cannot expect a cream to take care of a fat pad. What are the actives in the Flash Mask? Glycolic acid at 15%. You have lactic acid, you have tranexamic acid, you have glycerin. And so it is an exfoliating mask that is also There's one crying. Hold on, hold on. Baby, are you okay? Okay. Oh my Lord. All right, you guys. I think the party's— kid fell. I gotta go. Um, all right, time to go be a mom. Um, please do a video on glutathione, it's a request. Okay, we can add that to the lineup. Um, if I decide to buy your Major Feed Hyper Serum, do I have to buy the Active Seal? No, you can buy the Hyper Serum on its own. It usually comes with a refill cartridge, um, so you can use this on its own. When you're targeting pigmentation, you need multiple actives, and so have this with this in one product, A, would have been exorbitantly much more expensive, but two, a lot of people can't tolerate all of it all at the time. I can, most people can, and the best is to use them all together. That being said, you can pick and choose, and this way you're getting the benefit of evening out your skin tone over time. Um, okay, it is sold separately and it's sold with the refill, so you're gonna get it with this. And to insert the refill, you take the top off and you insert just like that. Lock and done. Okay, so that is that. Okay, you guys, I gotta go. I'm going to check what you have listed as your likes on YouTube. Okay, very, very— 322, you don't want my products, then don't buy my products. You do you. Your products are like magic. Thank you so much. I don't recommend using the flash mask in the morning. Nikki Fine, I love you too. Um, and late— I, I am in the room with you guys. I'm not yet gonna ship to Dubai. I gotta figure out the US and Canada first. Um, and I really have to go make sure that my kid is okay because I don't trust my husband. Okay, I will see you guys later. Have a beautiful Sunday. I'm going to keep this live up, um, and then I will link below the live the Sephora storefront. I guess there's one more day, um, that you guys can access the sale because it's over after tomorrow. So God bless, have a great Sunday, um, and take care. And I will see you guys on Saturday with a new YouTube video. Um, I'm gonna go take care of my, my kid now because hopefully he's all in one piece. Okay, see you guys later. Bye-bye. Let me end.
