00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,120
This is the Art Beauty podcast,
where we are

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,920
always reaching for truth in beauty.

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:06,960
Remember, the brands on the show
are not paying to be here.

4
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,200
So we get to ask them candid questions
because you deserve to be informed

5
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,200
so you can make the best choices
for yourself.

6
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:14,280
I am today.

7
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,800
My fabulous co-host is Dr.

8
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,720
Loretta Ciraldo She is a board certified
dermatologist and practicing

9
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,720
for over 40 years has an incredible
background we're going to talk all about.

10
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,200
And she is also the founder of Dr.

11
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,160
Loretta Skincare.
It is such an honor to have you on today.

12
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,920
I'm going to call you Dr.
Loretta through this.

13
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,600
Welcome to the show.

14
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,120
Thank you so much, Amber.

15
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,240
It's a pleasure to be here.

16
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,080
So I have to say,
when I was researching your background,

17
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:44,960
I mean, you have such
an incredible history in skincare.

18
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:50,280
I saw that you were actually involved in
the development of the Fitzpatrick scale.

19
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:51,280
Is that correct?

20
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,640
Yes, absolutely.

21
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:55,680
That is insane.

22
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,920
And then you also opened one of the first
and please correct if I'm wrong, cosmetic

23
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,520
dermatology clinics.

24
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,760
Yeah, well, that was a teaching clinic
at University of Miami.

25
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,160
We think maybe it was the first one
in the whole country.

26
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,800
So can you just give us a little bit
of your background there?

27
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,080
Yes, because I think that it really
will give such a sort of

28
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:24,600
like historical perspective
on how short a time we really understand

29
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,240
sun damage and external factors
and all this.

30
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,480
So I was in medical school
in New York in the 1970s,

31
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:38,040
and after my first year of medical school
in 1975, I got a summer research

32
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,880
job at up at Harvard Medical School
in the dermatology department.

33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,560
And like most of the very few women

34
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,800
who were in medical school
in the night in the early seventies,

35
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,280
which I started in 74,
most of us sort of entered medical school

36
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,400
thinking that we would be pediatricians
or obstetricians.

37
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,800
But I was very interested
and this research opportunity.

38
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:04,240
So I get to the dermatology department
not understanding much about dermatology,

39
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,360
and the head of the lab
tells me that I'm going to be investigated

40
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:13,040
the effects of the sun's
UVA on human skin.

41
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,480
So I was very interested in this.

42
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,560
And right before we were going to go
to lunch at the cafeteria,

43
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,480
he said, you know, we're at a
by the way, I'd rather that you don't tell

44
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,360
too many people what I'm doing,
because many of the physicians

45
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:31,080
in the cafeteria already
or you like so sure that not enough

46
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,840
UVA reaches the surface of the earth
for it to have an effect on our skin.

47
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,800
Long story short,
I think his analysis, the rest of history

48
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:46,120
and when we study the effects of the sun's
UVA on human skin

49
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,120
that led to the development
of what we call to this day,

50
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,680
broad spectrum sunscreen,

51
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:56,280
so that the FDA requires
that all sunscreens now must protect

52
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,920
not only from UVB,
which is what they did in the 1970s,

53
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:05,400
but also from UVA as well as UVB
that started in the eighties.

54
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,720
Once all the research got done.

55
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:08,400
Amazing.

56
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,960
You know, and just here's something great

57
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,960
that I've learned through my
if that gets confusing to people,

58
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,560
I like to think of this UVA A
are the aging rays, right?

59
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,560
So they're going to go a little bit deeper
into the skin, affect the deeper

60
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,160
layers of the skin where UVB are,

61
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,760
they're actually curvier waves,
so they go less deep into the skin.

62
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:27,720
But those are the burning.

63
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,080
UVA is aging, UVB burning well.

64
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,640
So UVA only

65
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:36,720
that research was really only being done
since the eighties or in the eighties.

66
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,200
I know. Actually in the seventies
and eighties.

67
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,320
Yeah, exactly.

68
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,840
Yeah. It was very interesting, actually.

69
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,840
It was really done
for the treatment of psoriasis.

70
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:51,360
So when I got to that lab there, we called
the Photo Biology Labs at Harvard.

71
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:57,280
They had already had Westinghouse make up
UVA bulbs for the treatment of psoriasis.

72
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,600
And then the question was,
instead of doing intense

73
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,000
UVA bulbs,
could you actually go under the sun?

74
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,120
And actually, what we did to do
the research was we gave people a pill to

75
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,480
make them a little more sensitive to UVA
so we could really study the impact.

76
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,960
And yeah,
I think that I think that actually

77
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:21,600
that whole background and perspective,
I think that leads into

78
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:26,560
some of the things that are now
on the forefront of sun protection,

79
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:32,120
like it's been argued, you know, do
we need the blue light protection or not?

80
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,760
But I think as we go on,
we might get to that discussion today too.

81
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,040
Oh, I would love to.

82
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,680
So okay, so you clearly have done this.

83
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,680
When did you decide to go into practice?

84
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:44,160
Right.

85
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:49,440
So basically what happened was, again, I
sort of thought, well, what will I become?

86
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:53,640
And as I went into my
third year of medical school,

87
00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:55,680
I knew

88
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,680
I actually
was already dating one of my classmates

89
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,320
who I was with for 47 years until,
unfortunately, his recent sudden death.

90
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,760
But now I was dating my classmate.

91
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:06,760
I wanted to have kids.

92
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,560
We went on to have four,
got married and have four kids.

93
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,280
So when I got to obstetrics,
I was, Oh, wow.

94
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,640
You know, I don't think I'm going
to have time to have a big family.

95
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,560
When I got to pediatrics again,
this was the 1970s and there still

96
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,120
we didn't have good medicine
for pediatric leukemias.

97
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,200
And so that was sort of very depressing.

98
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,080
And so I said to my husband,
You know what?

99
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,640
I am so fascinated
with the field of dermatology,

100
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:39,840
and it could really also afford me
this amazing lifestyle, I think.

101
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,720
So I went back to Harvard for my
and my fourth year of medical school

102
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,560
and did another big research project
because that really

103
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,600
then just sealed the deal for me
that I was in love with dermatology.

104
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,600
I love that too,
because you were really a pioneer

105
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,720
and you mentioned at the time there were
not a lot of women entering the field.

106
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,280
So thank you for sort of breaking
through those barriers for us.

107
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,720
So so

108
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,880
you have been practicing dermatology

109
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,880
for over 40 years now,

110
00:06:12,280 --> 00:06:15,480
and I do want to talk about this
because, you know,

111
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,480
we're going to talk very much in detail
about your skincare line,

112
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,320
but your skincare line is all based on

113
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,240
sort of this theory
of like the aging theory of exosomes.

114
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,040
So can you explain what Exosome theory is?

115
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,920
Yes. And honestly,
I think this is very important

116
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,720
and it doesn't even have anything
necessarily to do with my skin color.

117
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,760
And although I picked up on it
in formulating.

118
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:44,640
So what I'm going to explain to is,
of course I went to do the research

119
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,200
and all of the research

120
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,200
I did during medical school
had to do with the effects of the sun.

121
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,760
But then very interestingly, you know,
I got married to my husband

122
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,880
during medical school
and we decided to stay in New York.

123
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,000
And I ended up doing my training up
in the Bronx, New York.

124
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:06,000
This started in my dermatology
residency, started in 1979.

125
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:09,080
And believe it or not,
you know, women kind of

126
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,080
come a very long way since the 1970s.

127
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,960
So I would say the vast
majority of the patients

128
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:22,120
that I saw in my residency,
the women did not have driver's licenses,

129
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:27,960
did not have any access
to go to the beach or, you know, a pool.

130
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:28,960
Forget it.

131
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,360
And what we,
of course, started to do that and do to

132
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,920
this day is when people would come in
to see us in the dermatology clinic,

133
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,440
we would do total body exams
to look for skin cancer.

134
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,840
And what struck me from the very,
very beginning,

135
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:49,200
the first week of my residency,
is that when we saw older people

136
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,680
so this would be,
let's say, a woman in her seventies

137
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,800
or eighties, and I'm talking to
at first getting a little history.

138
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,040
And I see she's very wrinkled

139
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,880
and she's got a lot of age spots,
all the unwanted changes of aging.

140
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,840
When I then had a had
her put on a gown, said

141
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,840
I could check all of her skin
for skin cancer.

142
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,720
I honestly was myself a little bit shocked
to realize

143
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,680
that even people who were elderly,
who had really advanced aging changes

144
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,840
on their face and their neck and all,
when we got to examine the areas

145
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,880
that were not exposed to the elements,
gray areas

146
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,680
that were chronically covered by clothing,
they always looked decades younger.

147
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,720
Now I'm going to get back to
what I said to you, though,

148
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:35,960
that started

149
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:40,520
to really percolate through dermatology,
dermatology, literature,

150
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,400
that it was only exposed skin
that was really aging.

151
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,680
And so in the 19 by the late

152
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:53,280
seventies, especially early eighties,
we started to use a term that I think

153
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,920
is very popular,
not just in dermatology literature,

154
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,520
but in the literature,
and it's called photo aging.

155
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:04,320
And basically what that meant was,
okay, it's not really

156
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,000
your chronological age
that's causing all these unwanted changes,

157
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:13,240
but that term photo, right, like photo
biology labs, photons from the sun,

158
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,440
what it meant was all of these unwanted
changes were coming from the sun.

159
00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:20,560
But remember what I said to Amber.

160
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:24,000
This was a very special population
that I had

161
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,840
of all these adorable little old ladies
who, like maybe

162
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:33,480
they had come over from Bali
or God knows where they didn't have cars.

163
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:39,160
They stayed home ironing their husband's
shirts and making the lunch for the kids.

164
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,560
And these women hardly
had any sun exposure yet

165
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:48,480
they had all of these hallmarks
of such a disparity

166
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,120
between skin
that I have to just say was exposed

167
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,600
to the elements,
to the external environment.

168
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,840
So at that point I started to sort of

169
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,360
Dell the little bit into, you know,
what the heck is going on.

170
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:05,000
Right.

171
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,280
Of course,
we know, you know, a single sunburn

172
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,280
can cause a lot of skin damage
and all of this.

173
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,320
But there must have been other factors.

174
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,160
This was sort of what I started
to believe, you

175
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,400
know, many,
many years ago and has time has gone on.

176
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,200
There was more and more research

177
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,000
that, for instance,
looks at the effects of pollution.

178
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:33,200
Right now,
what we now realize is that pollutants

179
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,280
and you've probably heard about this
and in fact, if you're listening in,

180
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,800
if you haven't heard about this thing
called particulate matter,

181
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,560
all you really have to do,
especially if you look up a state

182
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:49,800
like Massachusetts or upstate New York,
where we have really

183
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:54,000
right now from Canadian fires,
a lot of particulate matter

184
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,000
that's causing very unhealthy
air quality conditions.

185
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:58,360
Yeah.

186
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,120
Or particulate matter
or these little pollution particles

187
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,240
that happen to be at least

188
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,240
20 times smaller than our skin pores.

189
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:12,240
So this particles that matter gets right

190
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,440
into our skin, enters the wearer pores,
but doesn't just stay in our pores.

191
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,520
And there is good research
to show that particulate matter

192
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,640
is a major cause of what

193
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,640
we call age spots hyperpigmentation

194
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,800
and collagen breakdown and lines
and wrinkles.

195
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,320
So, you know, and then to add to this
and this is not mentioned,

196
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,120
all I'm going to sort of
like suggest the what

197
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,440
or expose the problem, but I'm going
to suggest generically solutions.

198
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,200
Okay. Okay.

199
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,840
So the thing is
that it may be a little scary.

200
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,920
And one more scary fact to tell you
is that the EPA,

201
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:54,480
the Environmental Protection
Agency, tells us that many pollutants

202
00:11:54,840 --> 00:12:00,240
or up to 1000 times
more concentrated in their homes

203
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:05,600
than they are outdoors,
A good big factor is dust mites.

204
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,800
They carry a tremendous amount
of particulate matter,

205
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,960
and the particulate matter can even come
just from paint residue on our walls.

206
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,520
When we turn on a gas stove,
we release a lot of

207
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,680
free radicals, damage, particulate matter,
all of this.

208
00:12:20,680 --> 00:12:23,480
So that is the bad that that,

209
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,480
you know,
we need to be protecting ourselves

210
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,240
not just from the sun and not just
when we're outside from pollution,

211
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,560
but 24 seven Now, clothing is a great way

212
00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:37,560
to protect ourselves,
but what else can we do?

213
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,440
And high accidents. Yes, right.

214
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,720
That is so important.

215
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:46,280
So for everybody who's listening in
and this isn't

216
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,400
about buying a particular brand,
this is about please just be sure.

217
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:55,640
Go through what so many of us women have,
which may be, you know, ten moisturizers

218
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,520
or ten serums that you've got building up
on your bathroom counter

219
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,400
and medicine cabinet and see,
have you got some vitamin C?

220
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,800
Have you got, you know, things like this
and antioxidants, C

221
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,120
is anything labeled antioxidant
moisturizer, antioxidant serum,

222
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,080
because antioxidants
are really our best way to combat

223
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,400
the free radical damage of pollution,
but also the sun.

224
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,760
So that's another thing.

225
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,560
Many of the good sunscreens on the market
today, including the ones that we make

226
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,040
combined regular sunscreen actives

227
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,440
with antioxidants to produce to really,

228
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,960
really like just elevate the protection.

229
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:38,880
You know, I'm so glad you're putting that

230
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,520
because years of working in beauty,
I knew this.

231
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:42,440
It comes off the tongue.

232
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:43,960
Antioxidants are going to protect

233
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,960
protect your skin from oxidation,
from the free radicals.

234
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,760
But but you never really think about,
well, what does it actually mean?

235
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,680
What's causing these free radicals?

236
00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:55,200
I mean, things just like you said,
cooking in your house, right?

237
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,200
If something starts to smoke,
you're starting to release that.

238
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,520
Do you suggest then?

239
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,400
You know,
I think so many of us probably have

240
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,720
some sort of an antioxidant for the face.

241
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:07,800
But do you think it's important

242
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,800
then to be slathering
that all over the entire body?

243
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,920
Well, so the point is this.

244
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,080
Our clothing is a one protective shield.

245
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:16,680
Okay?

246
00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:20,160
So therefore,
we don't necessarily need that.

247
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,520
And so we sort of
started this conversation

248
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,920
with what's called the X expose
arm theory, right.

249
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,080
The exposure of aging.

250
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:34,800
There's the skin exposed,
which is pollution actually irritants,

251
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,560
things that we're exposing ourselves
to on areas that aren't covered.

252
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:40,200
Okay.

253
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,240
But like, for example, right now, I mean.

254
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:43,680
Exactly. So, yes.

255
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:48,960
So what I would say is in the summertime,
it is a very good idea

256
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,200
to use some products
that are going to give you protection

257
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:58,560
like a serum or a body lotion
that would have antioxidants in it.

258
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,120
Absolutely.

259
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,560
Good to know.

260
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:02,200
And keep in mind,

261
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,320
everybody with those vitamin C creams,
once they start to go brown,

262
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,520
they're not going to be as effective
as we want them to be.

263
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,000
But that is a story for another time.

264
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,760
So, okay, so we've got this idea
that exposure really is showing us

265
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,360
or that you're seeing that
that people who even weren't in the sun

266
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,600
are having these signs of aging.

267
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:22,960
Do you happen to know

268
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,640
we've had some people on the podcast
before and these numbers

269
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:31,680
kind of get thrown around, But I heard
once that 90% of visible aging is from UV.

270
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,800
But you're saying that
that's not necessarily.

271
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,720
Absolutely. That is not true.

272
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,200
And I'll tell you that there is
this study was actually done

273
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,400
by a group that worked at Rock Pharmacy
to called Juno RC.

274
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:49,320
And what it did
was it measured wrinkle index.

275
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,000
Right?

276
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,320
And they looked at people
in different states.

277
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,360
And lo and behold,

278
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:57,880
it turns out that New Yorkers
have more wrinkled spent Floridians.

279
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,080
And the idea there was that it's

280
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,440
really secondary to pollution,
not to the sun.

281
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,720
So I think really where we need
to sort of realign

282
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:14,280
our thinking is for almost all of us,
we have very little sun

283
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:20,600
exposure every day,
but we have pollution exposure 24/7.

284
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:26,720
And so, you know, I think that, you know,
besides skin care, I think having good

285
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,120
air filters in our home
is a very important thing.

286
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,440
If you're lucky enough to have central air
conditioning,

287
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,400
clean your air conditioning filters
because they're collecting

288
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,480
all of this particulate matter.

289
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,800
And so really, you know,
a lot of advice is depending

290
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,960
on the filter,
you get changing it every month or two.

291
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,160
I'm literally like mentally thinking
right after this, I'm buying

292
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,160
a because I live in New York City
right now.

293
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,840
I'm thinking immediately,
I'm buying an air purifier.

294
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:57,920
I do clean air filters and my AC is. But

295
00:16:59,040 --> 00:16:59,960
yeah.

296
00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:02,840
I'm trying to tell you for this recording

297
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,440
I have my air purifier off
because the fan is a little bit loud.

298
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,640
But yes, absolutely.

299
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,200
You know, this is something I really do.

300
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,440
I actually want to backtrack

301
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,880
for one minute because even let's say
when we talk about some protection,

302
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:23,440
I think that we mostly get marketed to
to think about sunscreen.

303
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:29,000
But we dermatologists say protection
from Sun has got to be three pronged.

304
00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:32,160
Yes, the use of sunscreen for sure.

305
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,680
The other thing is use of sun
protective clothing,

306
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:41,160
especially when you think about areas
like hair back and all sorts of areas

307
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,080
where you can just miss
the really even application of sunscreen.

308
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,840
Sunscreen should be applied every 2 hours.

309
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,240
I'm a grandmother and I can tell you that
when I go to my grandkids

310
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,720
birthday parties,
if they have a pool party,

311
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,600
all of the little children,
90% of them are now

312
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,760
showing up with bathing suits
that are long sleeved.

313
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:00,200
Okay.

314
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,800
So remember, the three pronged approach
for the sun protection is sunscreen,

315
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,040
SPF clothing, which is called UPF.

316
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,320
But the third thing,
which I think is also so important, is

317
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,160
just try not to be under the direct sun

318
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:20,320
between the peak hours of UV
radiation from 10 a.m.

319
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:21,760
to 2 p.m.

320
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:22,280
And so

321
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,040
that's going to be sort of the same thing
when we talk about pollution, right?

322
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,560
So indoor pollution is bad, right?

323
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,080
I'm going to give you a few tips.
You know, get the air filter.

324
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,880
The other big thing is,
you know, dust mites are awful.

325
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,040
And sun the one thing I'm allergic to.

326
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,280
Yeah, sorry,
I know. That. So I went to hide.

327
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:45,160
They collect also on our pillowcase
and stuff and the best detergent

328
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:51,000
to actually get rid of the most dust mites
possible is the all-bran and all.

329
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:51,320
Yeah.

330
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,160
And it's a liquid called all three clear.

331
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,200
And it's even much better.

332
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,680
Great that we used. Yay!

333
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,280
Okay, excellent. Right.

334
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,840
And try to wash your pillow case every two
or three days so that you're not rub.

335
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,200
You know, a lot of times
we think about, okay,

336
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,880
before we go to sleep at night,
let's put on our products.

337
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,640
But then if we do that
and then we rub air, pillowcase our face

338
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,360
into our pillowcase and we haven't
changed it or washed it for a week

339
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,560
and we're just rubbing in those dust
mites, you know, that's one.

340
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,640
So it's a very
we got to have a holistic approach.

341
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,760
I'm glad that this is a video, too,
because I can tell you

342
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,800
I have done very little to my face.

343
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,680
I myself
have injected myself with filler here,

344
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,080
but I've never had laser
or any kind of surgery.

345
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,320
And I'm 70 years old.

346
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,600
I was going to say,
you look amazing thing.

347
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:40,600
Yeah.

348
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,320
But, you know, following this advice,
you know, as they say, I don't just

349
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,680
talk the talk. I absolutely walk the walk.

350
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:52,080
And I think that it's a good thing
to try to heed some advice

351
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,880
from a 70 year old who has stayed useful,
because I know for a fact

352
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,800
that if we protect ourselves,
even sort of taking that

353
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,440
holistic approach,
protect yourself from the sun,

354
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,640
a three pronged approach from pollution
with the right laundry detergent,

355
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,480
the air filters, all this kind of thing,
and then antioxidants.

356
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,920
I mean, this is phenomenal advice.

357
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,040
And I mean, you are looking at you.

358
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,240
You're convincing me,
like I said, air filter.

359
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,240
I also have dust mite pillowcases.

360
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,280
So those are something
that you can look into.

361
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,360
And if you've got a mattress,
you can get dust mites.

362
00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:27,960
If you have real severe asthma.

363
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,400
You're right. Yes. Yes.

364
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,440
And in fact,
I think you mentioned that you're allergic

365
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,320
to dust
mites and allergies are very big on that.

366
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,320
And yeah, I think that's very good advice.

367
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,720
And then, you know, those Swiffer
makes those little dust things.

368
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,000
Those things are great.

369
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,400
I go over them,
my house, like every every year,

370
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:45,840
and I'm going to say two or three days

371
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,720
when you start to see the dust
settle, literally.

372
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,880
But it's a great way to pick stuff up.

373
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,760
And I love that
you gave us all all free and clear.

374
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,280
I feel like offering
clear is just great for so many reasons

375
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,200
because you don't as much as it's
nice to have the clothes that smell great

376
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,440
and all those extra unneeded fragrances
and chemicals in your body.

377
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:05,120
Not the best.

378
00:21:05,120 --> 00:21:07,800
Thank you. Yes,
because that's another thing.

379
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:08,200
Okay.

380
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,720
Artificial fragrance is another thing
that, you know,

381
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,320
artificial fragrance,
very common to get sensitive to,

382
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,440
not even to say allergic to,
but to get sensitive to.

383
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,920
Once you sensitize your skin,
believe it or not,

384
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,640
you get a little bit of what we always
call subclinical inflammation.

385
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,640
It's not like you're
really going to look red or feel it,

386
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,280
but much or most artificial fragrance
at some level

387
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:38,520
is going to just inflame
everybody in a not very obvious way.

388
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,880
And believe it or not,
that kind of inflammation

389
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,920
sets off enzymes that break down collagen.

390
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,080
So also exposure to things.

391
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,840
And so sometimes it's
very sort of like innocent exposure.

392
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,880
We sure, like you're saying,
with detergents, that kind of fragrance.

393
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,400
But also and this is also I want
all of your listeners

394
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,960
to think about too many of
I know my own patients will come in to me

395
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,040
and they or irritating their skin
because they

396
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,800
really believe in that whole sort of,
you know, no guts, no glory.

397
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,520
So, okay, I'm
going to use the strongest retinoic acid

398
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,320
I can find and I'm going to I'm going
to want to turn red and peel.

399
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,000
Please don't do that,

400
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,680
because once you've done that, you're
deaf, innately activating enzymes

401
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,680
that are going to break down
your collagen and everything.

402
00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:29,280
Yeah. You know,
I have a love hate with retinol.

403
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,840
I used to be able to tolerate it.

404
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,880
And now that I'm in my forties,
my body just doesn't as much.

405
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,160
So lower version sometimes.

406
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,240
But you know, I used to use a .05 percent
and I just it's not working.

407
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,560
And there's so many other great
exfoliators on the market that I found

408
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,760
because I know retinol is really it is a
gold standard, it is a phenomenal product.

409
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,160
But, you know, it's just not for.

410
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,600
Everyone, not for not for everyone.

411
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,040
And also not at the same times.

412
00:22:58,040 --> 00:22:58,280
You know,

413
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:01,480
sometimes I think as your hormones
are shifting like something

414
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,480
that might have worked for you
then, might not now, and who knows,

415
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,600
it might again someday.

416
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,520
Dr. Laura, you are,
first of all, so amazing.

417
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,720
I could talk to you all day.

418
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,560
It is clear that you live
and love skincare.

419
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:16,160
I mean, you went.

420
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,160
You chose the right field, Mom,
I got to tell you.

421
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,480
So I do want you
to address your skincare line,

422
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,200
because one of the things
I was really impressed,

423
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,720
you know, we're hearing this
trend as a beauty editor.

424
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:30,080
I feel like I've got a thousand products
and I don't mind having,

425
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,040
you know, the occasion all night
where I'm going to do a 12 step routine.

426
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,520
But but mostly it's like wash
my face, throw on a serum

427
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,800
moisturizer,
get to bed or an SPF in the day.

428
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,160
And I really was drawn to your line
because there's this new trend towards

429
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:45,600
skin embolism. Right.

430
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,600
Which is skin care minimalism.

431
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:53,320
And I feel like your your line
really kind of embraces that theory.

432
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,840
Can you tell us a little bit about that
and why you went that way.

433
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,440
To do so?

434
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:03,440
Because after it's actually now 41 years
that I'm a board certified dermatologist,

435
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,800
and when I'm having new patients come
in, we do ask them, please

436
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,960
bring in the products
you're using right now.

437
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,960
And it always amaze me,
almost without fail,

438
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,520
that a new patient will bring
in a shopping bag full of stuff.

439
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:17,160
Yeah.

440
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,160
And, you know, most of the time
I start to lay it out and say, well,

441
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,440
you guys,
this one is counteracting this one.

442
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,200
And do you turn red and purely?
Oh, yes, I do.

443
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,200
And so one of my goals in creating my line

444
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,240
was to really make products
that would multi task.

445
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:32,640
So I'll walk you through

446
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,320
sort of like a few of our products
that are just almost like a baseline.

447
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:36,600
Okay.

448
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:41,600
And how they get back to protection
from those external aggressors,

449
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,200
the exposition theory. Okay.

450
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,280
So our gentle hydrating cleanser, super

451
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:51,320
hydrating and gentle are beautiful
and yes, and remember

452
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,840
I said, I want to really protect you
from pollution.

453
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,160
So that's God in it.

454
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,120
A brown algae
that actually absorbs pollution particles

455
00:25:00,120 --> 00:25:03,960
from the surface of their skin
before they get into the living layers.

456
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,120
You wash with it,
you leave it on for about 2 minutes.

457
00:25:07,120 --> 00:25:09,760
So brush your teeth
while you got on, wash it off

458
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,520
and you've got great anti-pollution
protection.

459
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,080
I'm a big believer in doing it
morning and night. Why?

460
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,320
There's a lot been written recently.

461
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,880
Oh, you don't have to wash in the morning,
are you kidding me?

462
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,880
After you slept all night with all of that

463
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,360
exposure to the dust mites, it's
super important to walk in the morning.

464
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,960
So that's a morning and night.

465
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,440
And so you're supposed to wait.

466
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,360
You're supposed
to also leave it on for 2 minutes.

467
00:25:33,360 --> 00:25:37,080
I've never heard that because I was using
it and I would wash, you know, rub it in.

468
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,200
And I will say it's nice
because the beautiful gel, but it foams

469
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,120
it has a nice light foam,
so it gives you that kind of foaming,

470
00:25:45,120 --> 00:25:47,560
I'm cleaning my face, I am guilty.

471
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,000
I do not wash my face.

472
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,640
And then when I rinse it.

473
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,280
But I guess with water.

474
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,120
But I guess now I need to

475
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:56,360
soap.

476
00:25:56,360 --> 00:25:57,640
Okay.

477
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:02,400
Yes. Well, that especially because
a regular cleanser isn't necessarily good.

478
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,200
And get rid of the dust mites.

479
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:08,600
God, I think we put that in there
because it gets rid of the PM

480
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,680
that particulate matter I was telling you
that gets carried by the dust mites.

481
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,360
So please do that

482
00:26:14,360 --> 00:26:16,360
and usually get rid of your eye
makeup with that.

483
00:26:16,360 --> 00:26:18,040
So I want you to put on your eyelids

484
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,480
because I want you to have
that good protection After that.

485
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,960
I do have to tell you, we're very proud
that we won the award for Best of Beauty

486
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,720
with our eye gel
as the best anti pop product.

487
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,520
And that is a product where
I'm introducing, which we have a number

488
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:38,880
of the price of our sunscreen there, too,
an antioxidant called lipo chromium.

489
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,520
And what I'm going to tell you
about why people comment on one assay

490
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,840
for strength, it's
the strongest antioxidant that exists.

491
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:47,320
It is synthetic.

492
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,640
It was made originally for medical use
for cancer patients.

493
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,040
It's still used in some regimens
for cancer patients,

494
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:57,720
but it's the only antioxidant
that will not only get rid of oxygen

495
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,760
free radicals, which, you know,
they destroy the lipid layer,

496
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:05,640
the top layer of our skin, but it gets rid
of carbon and nitrogen free radicals

497
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,760
which destroy our college and our elastin

498
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,760
and our high ironic content of our skin.

499
00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:15,760
So I think it's very important
to look for that light, grow them in.

500
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,680
And it's a big featured product,
an ingredient that we have in our stuff.

501
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:24,080
I want to talk to you about our serums,
and I'm not sure which one you got there.

502
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,720
So I have the intense repair
and I get to try the

503
00:27:28,120 --> 00:27:31,800
the eye cream,
but it also has a deep thing as well.

504
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,440
Yes. Which is. Great. Okay.

505
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:36,600
So now can.

506
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:37,160
You use it?

507
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,960
Can you use it above and below it? Yes.

508
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:40,920
It's amazing.

509
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:41,840
Grease around.

510
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,560
It's called the tightening gel.

511
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,280
Now, the intense replenishing.

512
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:49,160
That's our serum
that's got that light but chrome.

513
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:53,680
And again, the only antioxidant
that's going to protect your college

514
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:58,440
in your elastin, your high, your onyx,
all of that from free radical damage.

515
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,440
None of the other antioxidants do it.

516
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,280
And you can see
it gives you this immediate glow.

517
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:04,560
Yeah, it really is.

518
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:08,040
But it feels so lightweight
and beautiful on the skin.

519
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:09,360
I mean.

520
00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:11,280
Yes, I love it.

521
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,960
You know, at 70,
you can imagine that I live.

522
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:14,880
You want. Yes.

523
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,120
All of a sudden it funny
somebody came on once and they were like,

524
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,840
you know, in your twenties
and maybe early thirties, you want it all.

525
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,200
Matt, Matt, Matt, because your skin is
hydrated and plumping, glowy.

526
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:27,000
And then when you start
to get into your forties

527
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,640
plus you're like, Oh my God, give me
all the glow back because my skin is not.

528
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,080
Yeah,
so I'm with you. I'm with you on that one.

529
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,080
Yeah, it's beautiful.
Thank you. Thank you.

530
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:40,680
And then our sunscreen
and so our sunscreens got that again,

531
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:41,560
the light chromium.

532
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,480
But I am also
and I've got to put a plug in for this I'm

533
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:50,280
a 1,000,000% believer in a sunscreen
needing

534
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:54,120
to protect us from that HIV visible
blue light.

535
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:54,880
I'm glad we.

536
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,200
Okay, we're coming full circle to this

537
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,400
because I was going to ask you
what you think on that.

538
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,440
Yes. So, you know,
let me just say this to you.

539
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,520
Ophthalmologists will tell you
and they've said this for decades,

540
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,840
that HIV blue light, high intensity,

541
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,480
visible light wrecks our retina.

542
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,680
So anybody who's wearing contacts
or prescription

543
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,120
lenses has a filter for blue light.

544
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,200
I, I really take issue

545
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,680
with people on social media saying,
oh, blue light can hurt the skin.

546
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,680
If it hurts your retina, trust me,
it can hurt your skin.

547
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:33,560
And the point is that we really do
need that protection.

548
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:34,280
Okay.

549
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:39,160
So this is just an extra thing
that we have thrown into our sunscreens.

550
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,240
We actually make two sunscreens,
but they both have that similar tint

551
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,360
and they have the white bow chrome
and they have great firming peptides,

552
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:47,320
great moisturizers.

553
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,760
I think you can see your skin
almost really looks.

554
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,920
Nice like it does, and it has like
a little bit of coverage too,

555
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,920
because you don't see the blue in my
in my veins as much.

556
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:58,120
Yes it is.

557
00:29:58,120 --> 00:29:58,960
Side is really.

558
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,200
Automatically look nicer we.
Think beautiful.

559
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,200
It is a view
I mean this is the one that I was like,

560
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,920
oh my gosh, this is a beautiful
it has just that right amount of glow.

561
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,400
And then you also have an enzyme polish.

562
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:13,320
So again,

563
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,920
was there like a total of six
total products.

564
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,640
So there's like one or two choices
for each except for the Ikiru.

565
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:19,280
Am I right?

566
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:23,160
Actually, we have
I think now we are definitely up

567
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:28,200
to 12 products because just like you
said, we've got two different cleansers.

568
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,240
We also have an exfoliating cleanser.

569
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,760
We have two different sunscreens,
mineral only and one that's called

570
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,760
the hybrid
with the zinc and chemicals in it.

571
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,080
We have three different serums

572
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,880
because we know that it's not necessarily

573
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,800
one size fits all,
but my whole ethos, I protecting you

574
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,640
from all the environmental aggressors,
it's in every formula we make.

575
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,640
But and I don't expect you to be using 12
products.

576
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,440
Well, you know, and forgive me
what I'm saying, but I think it's like

577
00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:00,200
a very minimal like it's six total steps,
not products that we've gotten.

578
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,080
So when you go to shop your site, it's
very, very easy because it's like here's

579
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,760
you know, choose a cleanser,
choose your exfoliator whether it's a pad

580
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:13,800
or this, choose your sunscreen,
choose your serum, eye cream.

581
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:19,840
SPF Yes, and we really try
to be educational on this site.

582
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:20,280
Yeah.

583
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:24,680
I invite all the listeners
go to it to really learn more because,

584
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,000
you know, our skin,
we are the owners of our skin.

585
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,680
And it's so important
for us to educate ourselves.

586
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,960
And my message is
you can stay self-confident

587
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:38,040
or become self-confident
about your appearance at any age.

588
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:42,480
And I feel I'm living proof of that
after seven decades of life.

589
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,080
I mean, you are gorgeous inside and out.

590
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,120
I absolutely love having you on here.
And Dr.

591
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:51,200
Lauretta, I have to say to everybody
listening, take a look at some of the

592
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,640
she's got great before
and after is of real people skin

593
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,120
from their face to their lower back.

594
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:58,320
So we're talking about this.

595
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:03,240
If you're not quite convinced yet
about how exposure and exosome

596
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,200
aging works, definitely check that out.

597
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,800
Dr. Lauretta If people want to know
more about your products,

598
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,000
if they want to learn more about you,

599
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,760
see you and your beautiful daughters,
