00:00What if you don't use a sunscreen?

00:02Your aging will be faster.

00:03A little faster.

00:04Sun is very good in multiple levels for you.

00:07But that is that early morning sun which is nice.

00:09How do you remove your makeup correctly?

00:11Don't rub everything like this with an oil.

00:16Teenagers, I have a habit of saying,

00:18carry all your skincare when you come to me for the first consultation.

00:21I am shocked at the bag they bring in.

00:25And some people have genuinely have 10 step regime.

00:28I'm like, do you really have the time?

00:29Protect, nourish, cleanse.

00:31Let's say start with these three as your mantra.

00:34OK, cleanse, of course, you know what to do.

00:36Now, cleanse can be very, very complicated, actually.

00:39Firstly, choosing the cleanser correct.

00:41Cleanser can make or break your skin.

00:43So if you are a dry skin person

00:46and if you end up using a brightening face wash, for example,

00:50which may have acids in it, can harm your skin, make it further dry, irritated.

00:55Eventually, that irritation leads to pigmentation.

00:58What is pigmentation?

00:59Darkness of your skin for anything.

01:01Maybe post acne, you end up getting those black spots,

01:03gray spots, red spots.

01:05They can be pigmentation.

01:06So therefore, choosing the face wash is very important.

01:09If you are someone who's out in the pollution, dust a lot,

01:11you may need a pre-cleanse, which is oil soluble.

01:15Dust has to be also removed.

01:16So you may need something like an oil to remove it off.

01:19If there's a lot of makeup, you may need micellar water to remove it off.

01:22How do you remove your makeup correctly?

01:23You remove the pigment makeup first.

01:25Don't rub everything like this with an oil.

01:27Remove the pigment makeup, then use a separate cotton to remove the rest of it.

01:30Second thing, simply protect your skin.

01:33It could be from free radical damage, from pollution, from sun, from wind, from anything.

01:38Do you think sunscreen should be used by everyone?

01:40Yeah. Yeah. OK.

01:41Yeah. It just doesn't protect you from the UV rays,

01:44protects you from the visible light, protects you from infrared rays,

01:47which can be inflammatory, make your skin red and irritated.

01:50So it really works well.

01:51So sunscreen is a must in everybody's regime in the time when the sun is up in the sky.

01:55What if you don't use a sunscreen? Nothing will happen.

01:58You may be more prone to pigmentation.

02:00You may be more prone to a slightly faster deterioration of your elastin and your collagen.

02:06Your aging will be faster.

02:07A little faster.

02:08You may get a little dehydrated, a little inflamed,

02:12more than the person who is nicely using a sunscreen regularly.

02:15A little inflamed means if you have a little acne on your face, it'll grow in size.

02:18It could become more red and more aggressive.

02:21Simply your skin might become red and irritated

02:24because infrared will heat up the skin.

02:26So, yeah, protection means protecting from all of this, which could be moisturizer.

02:30Is itself a protection, right?

02:32Against the dust and the particles.

02:33Sun is very good in multiple levels for you.

02:36But that is that early morning sun, which is nice.

02:39Or evening. The old or the late evening, the dawn or the dusk.

02:42Then nourishing.

02:43Nourishing is, if your skin is right, a good moisturizer is nourishing.

02:48If your skin is very dehydrated, something very nice

02:51and like a little mist on the skin could be nourishing.

02:54So nourish your skin to what it requires to quench it, to calm it.

02:59Fourth step, which is optional, is correction and enhancement.

03:05That is where you can bring in your this serum, that serum, that tube, this acid,

03:09that all that can come there.
