•The essence of the ideal home peel•
Glycolic acid(GA), known for its ability to penetrate the epidermis efficiently can exfoliate the skin by removing dead skin cells— at the same time stimulating cell renewal. The 2 key considerations in a peel formula would be the concentration as well as adjuvant actives that help boost effectiveness and also reduce skin irritation. H.E.P.E.S for instance, enhances naturally found enzymes known as the proteases in the skin that help exfoliate. Skin-soothing ingredients such as panthenol and glycerin are pharmaceutical-grade humectants that effectively trap moisture and reduce skin irritation. The ideal home peel contains 5% GA and when incorporated as a peeling toner, is effective and gentle enough for daily use. @loréal paris

Does your skin feel greasy from the inside but yet looks dehydrated, flaky and inflamed on the surface? Here’s why.
Toners of the past were marketed as being astringents to remove excess oil.
The key is to regulate oil production and not to superficially remove oil like an astringent toner does.
Doing so leads to a dehydrated-oily skin phenomenon.
Dermatologist Skincare Tips:
Use a facial essence or an emulsion
K-beauty inspired facial essences are water-based. Water itself is a fantastic astringent/cleanser on its own—without stripping skin dry. This is why our skin feels cleansed after a bath. For the same reason dermatologists advise applying water compresses to wounds to gently cleanse and remove exudates. Use oil in water emulsions to moisturise oily skin. Don't use creams or skip moisturiser.
Face mist hack
I completely eliminate toners in my skincare regimen. Instead my facial mist is multi-purposed as an on-the-go cleanser, toner and moisturiser. I choose one that is free of potentially irritating skincare actives like AHA, BHAs and retinol. The formulation should include a mix of different hydrating ingredients such as glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, polyglutamic acid and also antioxidants. In this case, especially in summer climates, I simply spray on my face mist right after cleansing and I’m done!
The above is excerpted from my book—Skincare Bible: Dermatologist’s Tips on Cosmeceutical Skincare. Check out my link for free skincare video workshops and tutorials on DIY home facial techniques.

SKINCARE SCAMS! Are overnight masks more effective?
Dermatologist’s Midweek Skincare Hack: Use •Your Moisturiser as a Sleeping Mask•
Are overnight masks more effective?
It really depends on the formulation. Overnight masks are really just moisturisers. Sleeping masks could possibly be more effective because it contains richer active ingredients that repair the skin barrier. It also has to do with the amount you apply. Directions to use for sleeping masks usually involve applying much more than your regular moisturiser.
THE SKINCARE SCAM All sleeping mask formulas are the same as moisturisers, as these are leave-on rather than wash-off ingredients. They work by absorbing onto the skin to produce moisturising effects.
The above is excerpted from my book—Skincare Bible: Dermatologist’s Tips on Cosmeceutical Skincare. Check out my link for free skincare video workshops and tutorials on DIY home facial techniques.

What is my skin type?
Dermatologist’s guide: a test to tell your skin type
I’m Dr Teo Wan Lin, board-certified dermatologist, founder of clinical skincare brand Dr.TWL Dermaceuticals and international beauty KOL. In this sharing, I highlight why the first step to a solid skincare regimen is knowing your skin type. I teach you how to quickly tell, with a quick test you can do at home.
(LINK IN BIO to receive free skincare classes from me!)
The following is excerpted from my book—Skincare Bible: Dermatologist’s Tips on Cosmeceutical Skincare.I also include free video workshops and tutorials on DIY home facials for public education.
What Is My Skin Type?
Skin Types
Dry: skin that produces less sebum than normal skin, individuals with inherited DNA defects in filaggrin gene causing eczema, previous skin irritation with cleansers/skincare
Oily: skin that produces more sebum than normal skin (an overproduction of sebum is known as seborrhea)
Normal (scientifically known as ‘eudermic’): well-balanced and healthy skin, with good production of ceramide as part of the skin barrier
Combination: a mix of skin types in the T-zone and cheeks
How Do You Determine Your Skin Type?
The best way to do this is simple and you can even do it at home with the following steps:
Wash your face and let dry for 30 to 60 minutes.
Dab a tissue on the T-zone (nose, forehead) and cheeks.
If you feel that only your nose is oily, that means you have combination skin. If you are oily on your nose and cheeks, you have oily skin. If both your T-zone and cheeks are dry, it means you have dry skin. #fyp #foryou #freezia #plumpglowinghydrationboost
