What are the key components of an effective daytime skincare routine?: Daytime skincare should focus on sun protection with a high SPF (50+) and include antioxidants like Vitamin C and E, and niacinamide to boost collagen production, combat oxidative stress and improve luminosity.
What are the three basic products necessary for an effective skincare routine?: A basic skincare routine should include sunscreen, antioxidants, and transformative agents like retinol. Sunscreen is the most crucial element, protecting against skin cancer and sun damage.
What is the relative importance of genetics versus lifestyle factors in skin aging?: The dermatologist emphasizes that external factors (exposome) and lifestyle greatly impact skin aging. Genetics play a smaller role (25%), so adequate sleep, proper nutrition, and stress management are essential for healthy skin.
What is the importance of facial cleansing, and what product does the dermatologist recommend?: Proper cleansing is vital, twice daily, to remove dirt, pollution, and sebum. A gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type is recommended; soap is preferred over micellar water or cleansing milk for deeper cleansing.
How should retinol be incorporated into a skincare routine to maximize benefits and minimize irritation?: Retinol is an effective anti-aging ingredient that stimulates collagen production and improves skin texture. Start with low frequency application (1-2 times per week) and gradually increase as tolerated; always pair it with high SPF sunscreen.
