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.
