- Hey guys, how' it going?
- Hi.
- Hey.
Basically what we wanted to do
was just give everybody an opportunity
to ask their skin care questions
and so why don't we start with introductions?
You have, right now, David and Monica from Curology.
And for those of you who don't know us,
Monica is a Certified Physician Assistant
and is an absolute expert in everything skin care
and acne and make-up - Yeah.
- And beauty,
and I'm David Lortscher,
I'm a Board-Certified Dermatologist
and also one of the co-founders of Curology.
So, shall we get started?
- Sure.
- Nice so I think well,
thank you to everyone who sent in,
sent in your questions.
We have some of them here in front of us
and we'll try to get through as many as we can.
- Okay, yeah.
So Eric Delatorre wanted to know
what our personal routines are.
Our routines are pretty simple.
So I actually brought my products just to show you guys.
So I start off with a gentle cleanser
like the Neutrogena Ultra Gentle.
So that's what I start off in the morning.
Yes, okay.
And then I go in with my SPF,
my moisturizing SPF which is a Neutrogena,
Neutrogena Healthy Defense 50 SPF.
- I'll hold that for you.
- Oh Thank you.
- There we go, it's backwards, wow.
Okay, that's only for us probably.
- Okay and then in the morning sometimes
I'll wear make-up sometimes.
I don't when I wear make-up
I usually do a mineral make-up.
So, right now I'm using the Aveda
Mineral Make-up
and that is not comedogenic,
it doesn't clog my pores.
At the end of the day
to clean everything off
I use my micellar water by Garnier,
this is the non-water proof
since I do not use water-proof mascara.
- Does it smell good?
- It doesn't smell like anything.
- Okay then I won't smell it.
- (laughing) Okay.
- I'm gonna test you on that.
- Yeah and then after that
I'll go ahead and rinse any residue off
again with the same gentle cleanser
in the morning, or that I used in the morning.
And then I'll follow that up with my Curology.
So, that's my routine.
It's pretty simple.
Every once in a while,
maybe once every two weeks
I'll go ahead and use like a mask.
So this is a Blue Tansy
it's like natural AHA and BHA.
It's very like spa-like.
It smells very nice.
It's more relaxing.
Because - I'll smell that one.
- Yeah, you should smell that because...
- (laughing) I'll go off screen to smell that.
- Because it's plant based
it's really gentle so I really like it
but that's my routine.
- [David] And it comes with an applicator?
- Yes.
- So what is, what is,
how do you do this?
Oh so just you don't contaminate it, got it, okay.
(laughing)
I don't use too many of these products.
This is Monica's moisturizer,
CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion, we like it.
It's not too thick, you know.
It's not too expensive,
it's probably a lot like $11 or something.
- It was 11
and I mean it lasts forever.
- Yeah it lasts forever, you know.
- It's huge so I've had it for at least three months
and it's just a really gentle moisturizer.
I forgot to go over the under eye for me.
Since we're talking about it.
So I do use Curology under eye,
Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Like David was saying,
when you have treatments under the eye
it can cause added irritation.
So I don't need an extra eye cream,
I use my Curology three times a week
and then when I'm not using my Curology,
just under the eye area,
I'll follow up with a moisturizing lotion, so.
- Yeah.
- Just in case you guys were wondering.
- That's awesome.
- So that's my routine,
it's really, really simple.
Very gentle
and my skin type,
just so that you guys know,
is oily combination
and I am acne prone.
- Awesome.
Well I think mine,
probably our routines have maybe more in common
than they do different.
I don't use quite as many products
and also I'm not as organized as Monica is
so I didn't bring any of my products.
But, you know,
basically my morning routine is that I, you know,
shower, brush my teeth
and then put on an SPF moisturizer.
Which happens to be exactly the same one Monica uses
so we have it right here.
And we don't get paid to use this but.
- This is not sponsored.
- We just both happen to like it.
That would be wasted money
if they paid us to use this.
And at night,
basically brush my teeth,
use my Curology medication
and so really, like,
super, super simple
and I think what is in common
between our two regiments
is that none of uses like harsh cleansers.
We don't, like, over scrub,
we don't over exfoliate.
'Cause even if you tend to get oily skin occasionally
you don't want to get your skin angry and dry
and irritated. - Irritated.
- Or else it doesn't look, you know, nice.
- Right.
- So that's my routine.
Super simple
and I think that leads in to another question
that I just saw
by Jessie Lou.
- Yeah.
- Jessie Lou.
So, is it beneficial to wash your face
twice a day with a face cleanser
and then it also says some other nice things.
So, thank you Jessie for the questions.
In, you know, we get questions like this a lot
and it's important to know
that you do not need
to wash your face many times per day.
You know, I think for a lot of people,
once a day is enough.
And the reason is that
when we wash our face
it sort of strips the natural oils we have
and the way I think about it
is let's say you have a pot or a pan
with a little bit of grease on it
and once you wash it in the sink
all that grease is gone, right?
And so, when you're washing your face
it's the same thing
and the oils that we strip off our face
are actually there for a reason.
Like, you know, it protects our skin,
you know, promotes healthy skin.
- A natural moisturizer.
- Yeah, exactly.
So you don't want to, you know,
you don't wanna over wash
and, you know, certain people need to use,
maybe wash your face more than once a day.
A lot of people, right,
if you tend to have really oily skin
or if you need to wash off your make-up,
obviously don't go to sleep wearing make-up,
it'll clog your pores.
But for me,
I don't wash my face more than once per day
because, you know,
I don't typically wear make-up
and I don't really have oily skin.
So, so yes, so pretty simple
and really the key for us
and we just see a lot of people
over irritating their skins.
So I think that's something to emphasize.
- Yep.
- What's next?
- Shay Shabain asks,
I have dark skin so I only use the SPF 15
that is in my foundation.
Is this sufficient?
So that kind of depends, right?
It depends on how much sun exposure you're getting.
If you are getting little to no sun exposure
the SPF 15,
anything SPF 15 or above
should be enough coverage.
Now, if you're spending a lot of time
near the sun,
so you're walking to and from class
or at work you sit by a window
you might need a little bit more protection.
So for that I always, you know,
err on the side of caution.
So I always would recommend
adding an SPF moisturizer under your foundation.
- Yeah, I think that makes perfect sense.
- Right.
- And then I think
to answer the other part of your question,
I have dark skin so should I,
can I only use a lower SPF.
It's something I actually hear a lot
and people are like, you know,
do I have any SPF protection benefit
just from having dark skin
and I actually looked it up
for one of my patients
and obviously everyone
has a slightly different shade of skin
so it's impossible to generalize.
But, the typical dark skin person
has an SPF just from the melanin in the skin
of about 13.
- Okay.
- And then the typical light skin person
has an SPF from the melanin in the skin
of about 3, yeah.
So, there is just like a difference
in natural protection.
So, you know, for a raised question,
you know, she might be able to get away
with a lower SPF than somebody else would.
So, what's next?
- We have eye cream.
- Eye cream, okay yeah.
This is from Thrift Addict Hazel.
Thank you for the question Hazel.
Thrift Addict Hazel,
I think that's a good addiction to have.
If I was going to be addicted to something,
you would like save a lot of money.
So, is it okay to start using eye cream
at age 19?
It's okay and I would say
it's okay, it's not going to hurt you
but I think it's too early.
You know, so if I was Hazel,
I would probably do two things.
You're probably already wearing sunscreen.
That's important to keep, you know,
premature aging away from the eyes.
But then also make sure
you're wearing sunglasses all the time
because sunglasses do two things.
One, is that it actually blocks
the actual rays of the sun
and then the other thing is that
it keeps us from squinting
and every time we squint, you know,
all these little muscles contract
and it just helps to contribute
to premature aging.
So, I would save your money on,
you know, eye cream. - Expensive eye creams.
- You know, stuff like that.
Especially when you're a teenager.
- Right.
- And, you know, just make sure
you're wearing sunglasses
and, you know,
not going out in the sun without sunscreen.
- Yep, that seems like good advice.
We have another questions by Ray Blagades.
It's what should I do
to make my skin less oily and look healthier?
- Ray, Ray Blogalates, I think.
- Ray Blogalates.
- So like they do Pilates and they blog.
Oh we got back our connection.
Okay, that's cool.
- Okay, so just like David was saying,
having oily skin isn't horrible.
So if we are focusing on being positive,
oily skin is a built in moisturizer
and people with oily skin tend to look younger
because, less drying.
So those are the pros.
If you wanna try to get rid of
excess oiliness
then you might wanna use,
the easiest think to do
is use a foaming cleanser.
So a foaming cleanser is a little more stripping,
a little more drying,
but it's good for patients
that have overly oily skin.
So you could go that route.
You could also use a moisturizer
that is light.
So oil free moisturizer just like the CeraVe
that I use.
That would be really good to use
if you do use make-up,
a make-up primer can help reduce oiliness
and then blotting paper
during the day if you need it
to remove any access.
- But Dave is wondering
what is Mando's regiment,
skin care regiment.
Mando is Monica's husband.
- Yes he is.
(David laughing)
So I have, he has a very gentle...
- Mando has great skin by the way.
- He does.
So he uses the same
gentle cleanser I do.
The same moisturizer I do
and then he has his Curology medication
which is different from mine.
But, that is his regiment.
He also uses SPF in the morning.
So thank you Dave
for caring so much about Mando's skin.
- And thank you Melissa
for saying that
Curology is the only thing that helps with your skin.
That's very nice.
Well, I think that's it for today.
Why don't we,
if anybody has any more questions,
feel free to, you know,
just ask us on social media
and if you want us to do something like this again
or have any other topics you want us to cover
just let us know.
And thanks for hanging out with us.
- Thank you.
- Alright, bye guys.
- Bye.
