Andrea and Peter address two customer questions about skincare. The first question is about how to incorporate the 2% AHA BHA Pore Minimizing Exfoliant into an existing skincare routine. The second question is about the difference between serums and creams and when to use each. Andrea and Peter provide detailed explanations and recommendations for both questions.

The 2% AHA BHA pore-minimizing exfoliant can be incorporated into an existing skincare routine by using it after the double cleanser and before the hydrating toner step.

It is recommended to start using the exfoliant once or twice a week in a nighttime routine and gradually increase frequency if desired.

Serums and creams have different properties and purposes. Serums are designed to address specific skin concerns and penetrate deeper into the skin, while creams provide hydration and protection for the outer layers of the skin.

Using both serum and cream can provide complementary benefits.

The choice between serum and cream depends on personal preference and skin type. If budget is a concern, it is recommended to prioritize using a cream as it serves a broader array of purposes. It is also possible to alternate between different creams based on seasonal needs.

It is important to start slow when incorporating new skincare products and to listen to your skin's needs. Adjustments can be made based on individual preferences and skin reactions.

Saranghae will be launching a new Furman Lift with triple mushroom complex in the coming months.

In this episode, Peter and Andrea discuss everything SPF. What are the differences between mineral and chemical sunscreens and why are they important? They explain the effects of UVA and UVB rays on the skin and the risks of skin cancer. They debunk misconceptions about sunscreen, such as the belief that darker skin doesn't need protection and that SPF in makeup is sufficient.

The episode emphasizes the need for SPF 30 or higher and the importance of using sunscreen for overall skin health.

Takeaways

• Sunscreen is crucial for protecting the skin against the harmful effects of UVA and UVB rays.

• SPF 30 is the minimum recommended level of protection, but SPF 50 offers better coverage.
• Sunscreen should be applied generously and reapplied every 1-3 hours, especially when sweating or swimming.
• SPF in makeup is not a substitute for dedicated sunscreen, and darker skin still needs protection from the sun.

Peter and Andrea play a game of MYTH or FACT, discussing common skincare myths. They cover topics such as whether eating greasy food causes breakouts, if putting toothpaste on a pimple helps, if coconut oil is a good facial moisturizer, if people with oily skin need moisturizers, if foundation with SPF is enough sun protection, if natural or chemical-free products are better, and if chocolate causes acne. They debunk these myths and provide explanations based on scientific research.

Takeaways

• There is a correlation between dairy products, high-glycemic foods, and breakouts, but greasy food itself does not directly cause breakouts.
• Putting toothpaste on a pimple is a myth and can actually cause dryness and stimulate oil production, leading to more breakouts.
• Coconut oil is not a good facial moisturizer as it can clog pores.
• People with oily skin still need to use moisturizers to control sebum production and protect the skin.
• Foundation with SPF is not enough sun protection, and it is recommended to use a separate sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
• The terms 'natural' and 'chemical-free' in skincare products are not regulated, so it's important to do research and read ingredient lists.
• Eating chocolate does not directly cause acne, but consuming too much sugar can lead to inflammation and skin conditions.
• Water is essential for good skin health.
