Have you ever seen someone with makeup on and they look much older,
check out the picture of this person.
You can see it's kind of caked on.
There's more wrinkles.
Check this picture out another one.
I see it all the time in my clinic.
People come in and they're coming to get procedures, but they still wear
makeup and everything to the clinic.
I end up removing it.
Sometimes it's caked on.
And when I remove it, there's gorgeous skin beneath it.
They come in, I go, oh my gosh, thinking in my mind, you're gonna
need IPLS and micro needing plasma, glow, plasma, sculpt all this stuff.
And you take the makeup off and be.
Glass glowing skin is beneath it.
Sometimes I don't understand how many of my patients, their
goal is to be makeup free.
Many, many come in wanting that.
And often their skin is better than they think today.
I'll tell you if makeup is harmful or is it beneficial?
Because a lot of people say, Hey, there's sunscreen in my makeup.
It's protecting my skin.
If you stop your makeup.
How long before you see benefits and you can tell, was it harming your
skin or was it helping your skin?
If so, why?
Why would it be beneficial or harmful?
And the top three skin treatments you can do to where no makeup.
Just wake up, meaning to not have to wear any makeup ever because skin is in.
Finally, if you must wear makeup, I'll share three tips to stay healthy, using
it, to keep your skin vibrant and glowing.
Despite the makeup, I'll go through a couple of those
problems in what you can do.
So first of all, does wearing makeup help your skin now, before I answer this
loaded question, cuz they're gonna get in.
I need to preface it with a little love.
I do think wearing makeup on special occasions on a night
out is glamorous it's rockstar.
It's sexy, but makeup has some serious issues.
We do need to talk about number one, bacteria.
And infection.
Makeup can be a veritable breeding ground for bacteria makeup.
No doubt has preservatives in it, but guess what they do, they can
cause skin irritation just like fragrance, preservatives do as well.
And then there's those nasty brushes and applicators that people use
and they keep the brushes for.
And those brushes Harbor bacteria.
This is especially true for areas around the eyes like mascara,
eyeliner, and eyeshadow, and people get eye irritation as well.
No makeup means none of those issues.
You only get them if you're wearing the makeup.
So be mindful.
Number two is inflammation, often makeup users, double.
Or use harmful makeup removers to get it off.
And when you double cleanse, especially if you use an oil cleanser, uh, then
you use a regular cleanser after yes.
That does clean the skin often.
It's irritated from that amount of cleansing.
Brushing and scrubbing acts like a physical exfoliant.
If you stop your makeup for six weeks, it takes that issue out
of there helps your skin get resilient and achieve homeostasis.
Again.
Number three, problem with makeup poor size.
If you're applying makeup on a regular basis and leaving it
on your skin for a long time.
So the run of a day, chances are.
That your skin pores get clogged.
It's just inevitable.
This doesn't let your skin breathe in a sense, making a prone to acne, bumps,
roughness, and other facial skin problems.
You might notice those bumps around your eyes as well.
Your skin does need oxygen.
It does need a breathe.
And we know that because skin that's exposed to pollutants just doesn't look
as healthy as skin exposed to pure oxygen.
Number four, dry.
Oily skin, dry or oily.
It could be one or the other, depending on your skin type makeup products that
don't suit your skin type can make your skin drier and oilier and people with
dry skin may experience extreme dryness.
If the makeup is not meant for their skin type.
Similarly, those with oily skin might get too much oil production and they have
oil your skin, and then get more acne.
Then you couple that with the bacteria and you really have
an acne problem on your hands.
Number five, of course, allergies.
So reactions to the products or ingredients in the
products while some makeup.
Um, they do look similar in ingredients.
When you read them, they often vary from brand to brand in slight ways.
Products formulated with mild ingredients, do not harm your skin.
However, products with more harmful chemicals like parabens, like S L
E S they can cause allergic action.
So if you're allergic to certain ingredient, Those
products can make it even worse.
They can make your skin itchy uncomfortable.
And the worst part is you may not be aware of it, cuz it's a low
level of irritation, irritation, inflammation equals you got it.
Aging.
So how long before, uh, you come off of your makeup, can you tell
if your skin is benefiting from it?
So let's say you're on makeup.
You stop it and you wanna know.
Is this helping me.
I'm forgoing my makeup for this, for what?
Well, it doesn't happen overnight.
And like everything in skincare, it's six to eight weeks.
Just like when you try a new product, that's how long it takes to know if it
works while a day or a week of no makeup can provide some benefits to the skin.
Six to eight weeks is what's really necess.
For you to see improvements that are lasting going without makeup, it does
give your skin a chance to breathe.
Like I said, and get that more oxygen, uh, exposure and help that skin barrier
called your, um, stratum cornea.
Despite the outer layer of skin cells being dead, you
might say, well, they're dead.
Anyway.
If you're exfoliating correctly, there's only a few layers of dead
skin cells because you want to remove some of the dead skin.
The, the layer of living cells is pretty close to the surface of the
skin, and that is a living barrier.
So going without makeup for a month, on the other hand, it will
show that natural skin and that.
Natural homeostasis to give you an idea of the benefits skin cells naturally
shred about every one to two months, and then they're replaced on the elder layer.
So that also bodes well for that one to two month period.
Once that happens, what most people notice.
Is wonderful.
It's a brighter, healthier complexion as well as fewer clogged POS the roughness
goes away and black heads blackhead seem to be the one thing, Amelia.
They seem to go away very nicely.
When people stop makeup, I'm not bashing makeup.
I just want, you know, if you're having those problems, that's what I see
in terms of the number one benefit.
The longer skin goes without the makeup, the better it will be able to stabilize.
The se and oil production, because hydration that homeostasis of the
skin naturally, which is why we don't want to ex over ex fully.
Or over cleanse the body achieves that level on its own.
After that two, one to two months or six week timetable, skipping makeup
also allows people to streamline their skin care routine and reduce the
more aggressive cleansing techniques that could be stripping that barrier.
So this is a great time.
To try new skincare to try more actives, if you're on a low dose
retinol, maybe step up your retinol.
Uh, and if you're wanting to try an aha cream while your skin is bare and
achieving homeostasis, if it does so after a week or two, start stepping up
the skincare and that can help further.
Wrinkles fine lines and brown spots, because now you're actually
achieving a therapeutic dose.
Number one skincare to start of course, is a basic cleanser in an ultra moisture.
That's your first two weeks of this.
My ultra moisture of course has a lot of organic oils in it.
It'ss hydrating, it's replenishing, it's soothing.
I built it for people along the coastal regions and those in climates
like Arizona that are super dry.
Because it also doesn't cause acne, it's not acne for him.
So something like that product after a couple weeks, you're probably
gonna re achieve that homeostasis.
Skin's gonna feel, look good.
Feel supple that's when you want introduce your aha or your hydroquinone or your
new retinol that you always wanted to try for those wanting a real vitamin
C like a 15% like mine and others.
This is the time to start that too.
Cuz your serums are always on your first fresh layer skin cleanse
vitamin C, then you're active.
Like you're retina all your AJ, uh, or so on or your hydroquinone.
But this is the time because a lot of people can't tolerate the 15% vitamin C.
I like that percentage they're on five or 10 or they're on an esterified form of C.
So if you want to try a real fresh vitamin C, this is that also
won't interact with your other.
And it goes on fresh, layered skin.
So that's another thing you can try now.
Let's say you can't imagine one day without makeup.
I know people like that, for sure.
If you're used to rocking that full on dramatic makeup look every
single day, it can be hard to stop cold Turkey rather than doing that
complete 180, start by swapping out the heavier formula and makeup.
Um, so the full coverage found.
Go for lighter versions, such as tinted moisturizers, tinted
sunscreens SPFs are a great way.
You can get a mineral tinted sunscreen, and, um, then you often don't have to
put or cake up cake on that makeup.
You can also try cutting out one or two makeup products per day
until you're completely bare faced.
Uh, now a lot of people say, well, I got brown.
I got pores.
They just don't go away after that.
What are your, what are my top three treatments to help smooth
the skill skin create glass skin that are one step up from products.
Number one would be a chemical peel.
Number two, fractionated RF radio frequency like VRS, VFR.
I don't want to do deep microneedling, but more fractionated surface RF with
some deep heeding like that device does.
And number three, an I P L.
Intense pulse, light or microneedling with platelet rich
fiber, not number three and four.
So I kind of cheated, but I P.
Is non laser it's broad base light helps with Browns helps tighten the
skin just a little bit, not much, but also helps with reds cuz reds, rosacea.
So common.
It's one of the reasons why people wear makeup.
Especially if you go out for wine, if you go out with your
friends, you get have wine.
Sometimes you turn red and so IPL will help with reds.
Now, if you absolutely must wear her makeup and you don't wanna do those
treatments, number one, clean your brush.
Once you're done with your makeup, do not forget to clean the brushes and
sponges wash these at least once a.
It comes pretty quick, but once a week is important.
It's this is important because harmful bacteria from the dead skin cells and
the sweat, they thrive in makeup brushes.
Very classic problem.
Number two, remove makeup before bed.
I don't think I need to tell you that, but it's mandatory to
remove makeup before you go to.
And you might need that two step double cleansing process to have a whole video
and double cleansing just don't overdo it.
But watch my video on that.
Number three, never share your makeup might make sense, but a lot
of people go away together, take trips, they're sharing their makeup.
They're sharing their brush brushes.
It's a great way.
For bacteria to travel between people you don't want to do that.
