00:03 As someone who likes to take care of my skin,
00:06 I'm bombarded with information online.
00:09 Now that I'm not as young as I used to be,
00:11 I need to be more selective on what I put on my skin.
00:15 [music]
00:19 There are so many skincare routines available on social media.
00:23 Influencers recommending this and that.
00:26 [music]
00:28 To be honest, it's a bit overwhelming.
00:31 Can I really use the information I get online
00:33 to help me take care of my skin?
00:36 [music]
00:38 I am Elle Villahueva, your host from this episode of
00:41 GMA Lifestyles straight from the expert anti-aging skincare app.
00:45 [music]
00:50 -Elle, welcome to DARE Clinic.
00:52 -Of course, Doc. It's nice to see you again.
00:55 [music]
01:02 -Hi, I'm Dr. Jean Marquez, and I'm a dermatologist.
01:05 [music]
01:07 -Doc, the reason why we're here is because
01:09 there are so many things we see online,
01:12 especially influencers, vloggers,
01:14 they recommend so many skincare products.
01:17 Sometimes, there's even Korean 16-step skincare.
01:21 It's overwhelming.
01:23 -What is the right skincare?
01:26 -The right skincare should be suited for your type of skin.
01:30 It's important that you should be able to know your type of skin.
01:34 Number one, you have sensitive skin.
01:37 Do you have oily skin?
01:38 Do you have dry skin?
01:39 Do you have combination skin?
01:41 Aside from that, you should also know your skin concerns.
01:45 Do you have acne?
01:46 Do you have pigmentation?
01:48 Do you have pores?
01:49 Do you have fine lines?
01:50 There are so many.
01:51 It should not be just one set of products
01:55 that your friend uses,
01:57 you can also use.
01:59 -It really differs, right?
02:01 It depends on your skin.
02:03 -There are basic skincare regimens.
02:06 You start with a soap,
02:08 then toner,
02:10 and then sun protection,
02:13 and then moisturization.
02:15 If you want an anti-aging cream,
02:16 then you have a firming cream.
02:18 If you have pigmentation,
02:20 then you have an additional whitening cream.
02:22 That's why there are so many.
02:24 And then, like here in their clinic,
02:26 we also incorporate supplements.
02:30 Because we believe that the healthier your skin is,
02:33 or the healthier you are from the inside,
02:35 the healthier your skin will be.
02:37 -So, Dokaya, for my skin type,
02:40 what is your recommendation?
02:42 -Alright, because first of all,
02:44 I know your skin type.
02:45 You have sensitive skin, right?
02:47 And also, you have combination skin.
02:50 So here, you have dry skin,
02:52 but on the T-zone area,
02:54 you have oily skin.
02:56 So what I would recommend for you
02:57 is just a mild cleanser.
03:00 It's always safe to go to use mild cleansers.
03:03 Use cleansers with scrubs.
03:06 If you're not sure of your skin type,
03:07 do not use scrubs.
03:09 Or do not use whitening soaps
03:11 because they can be irritating.
03:13 So it's better to always go to the safe side,
03:16 use a mild soap.
03:17 Also, I would recommend for you
03:19 is a gentle toner.
03:20 Actually, toners are just there
03:22 as an additional cleaning agent.
03:25 It was designed for that.
03:27 It just changed through the years.
03:29 Toners with whiteners,
03:32 toners with tretinoin to smoothen,
03:35 people are confused.
03:38 Toners are just a lot.
03:40 We should know a lot, right?
03:42 -So, it's also said that
03:44 the simpler the ingredient, the better.
03:46 -No, it's more personalized for you.
03:49 That's why it's really good to consult a dermatologist.
03:52 -I wonder, for like aging skin,
04:06 what's the best cleanser for them?
04:09 Is it mild or strong?
04:12 -For aging skin,
04:13 it's really wise to go for the mild cleansers.
04:18 Because as we age,
04:19 we lose oils on our skin.
04:21 The oil actually protects our skin
04:23 from the environment.
04:25 For example, you get exposed to pollution,
04:28 to extreme heat,
04:29 to extreme cold temperatures.
04:32 If you don't have oils,
04:33 it can irritate and damage your skin.
04:36 And then it can cause irritations,
04:38 redness.
04:39 And as you age,
04:41 the healing capacity of the skin actually decreases.
04:45 So, the redness and irritation
04:47 will be gone for a longer time.
04:49 So, it's better to go for the mild cleansers.
04:51 -I see.
04:52 Doc, as you mentioned,
04:54 our oil makes us look younger.
04:57 So, if you're oily,
04:59 will you age less over time?
05:02 -Well, not necessarily.
05:04 Because the factor that will increase your aging
05:08 is really photo-aging.
05:10 So, there's two kinds of aging.
05:12 There's the natural aging process,
05:14 wherein we really age as we age.
05:18 And then, the second one,
05:20 there's what you call photo-aging.
05:21 That's the biggest factor in premature aging,
05:25 photo-aging.
05:27 That's when you'll see that
05:28 there are 30-year-olds who look 50,
05:30 and there are 50-year-olds who look 30.
05:33 It's because of their lifestyle,
05:35 how they protect themselves from the sun.
05:38 And of course, their lifestyle as well.
05:41 Do you smoke? Do you drink?
05:43 Do you always eat junk food?
05:45 What kind of foods do you eat?
05:47 -I know a lot of people eat junk food.
05:49 -Yes, because there's what you call anti-aging foods.
05:52 The foods that will not cause inflammation on your skin.
05:56 And also, the kind of skin care that you use.
06:00 And of course, your protection from the sun.
06:03 There are a lot of factors in aging.
06:05 Stress also.
06:06 -Yes. -That's why when you're stressed,
06:08 you're like, "Why did she suddenly age?"
06:10 -You get wrinkles. -Yes.
06:12 Or when you're sick, you came from the hospital,
06:14 you suddenly age.
06:16 -Yes. -Right?
06:17 So, there's a lot of factors.
06:19 That's why skin care is really important.
06:21 You should start early.
06:23 Because we lose collagen,
06:25 1% of collagen, at the age of 25.
06:29 -Oh, gosh. -Every year, we lose 1%.
06:32 And the collagen gives firmness to our skin.
06:35 How young should a doctor start skin care?
06:38 Well, skin care should start as early as--
06:40 If you have acne, then you should treat it during teenage years.
06:43 The anti-aging creams, you can start as early as 25 years old.
06:48 Firming creams, you can start with that.
06:51 The firmer, the smoother, then you can use that.
06:55 [music playing]
06:57 Besides on anti-aging skin care,
07:14 does your clinic have anti-aging procedures?
07:18 Of course, there are a lot.
07:20 Here at their clinic, we actually want to target
07:23 the foundation,
07:26 the one that gives firmness to the skin,
07:28 and also the texture.
07:31 So, all of that is an anti-aging.
07:33 From lasers to injectables, there are a lot.
07:37 But also, what we really use here
07:40 is what we call the non-invasive lifting procedure,
07:45 which is actually ootherapy.
07:47 A non-invasive procedure is a kind of treatment
07:50 that doesn't involve surgery, and ootherapy is one of them.
07:53 According to Dr. Jean, this machine tightens the skin
07:57 with the help of ultrasound imaging.
07:59 The machine stimulates the production of collagen and elastin.
08:03 The result is a natural-looking, liftier skin.
08:06 What age can we start the ootherapy procedure?
08:11 Actually, at the age of 20 plus, if we want to contour the face,
08:15 for example, if the lower cheek is too heavy,
08:18 we can start that.
08:20 Or, for example, here,
08:22 if you want to make the skin under the eye firmer,
08:26 we can do ootherapy.
08:28 Or for older women, those who droop their eyelids,
08:32 we can lift it.
08:34 And then also, of course, especially even the neck,
08:38 the neck lines, or the sagging of the neck,
08:42 ootherapy can address that.
08:44 So, I guess ootherapy is a really good choice
08:47 for those who don't want to go under the knife.
08:50 So, after the procedure, how do you maintain the lift of the skin?
08:55 After the ootherapy procedure, what we do is we give, of course,
08:58 products to maintain the firmness of the skin,
09:02 to smoothen the skin, to address other problems,
09:04 and to moisturize.
09:06 And aside from that, they can come back for other treatments
09:09 that will address skin rejuvenation.
09:12 So, we can do a lot more.
09:14 So, Doc, a lot of people are curious about ootherapy.
09:17 How much is the procedure?
09:19 Yeah, usually, otherwise, otherapy will start from Php 80,000.
09:24 It depends on the size of the face,
09:27 the severity of the problem.
09:29 So, Php 80,000 plus, right?
09:32 That's the danger.
09:33 Sometimes, you see a lot of cheap treatments,
09:36 cheap otherapy, and they should be careful.
09:39 And when you go to a derma, there's an authentication.
09:43 So, there's a seal of authenticity.
09:46 Wow, okay.
09:47 So, we really have to be careful coming from Doc
09:50 when it comes to having the ootherapy treatment
09:52 because there are a lot of clinics that have this.
09:55 And you have to be sure and do your research
09:58 before undergoing this procedure.
10:01 [Music]
10:18 And yes, I really learned a lot.
10:20 Thank you so much, Octara Jean.
10:22 But then, we are not done yet.
10:24 In the next part of this episode,
10:26 we will talk about Botox and fillers.
10:29 What is the difference between these two?
10:31 And are these procedures for everyone?
10:33 And is this safe?
10:35 Let's see.
10:36 Stay tuned for the next episode.
