Want to know an Asian beauty secret? You may have heard of skin cycling where retinols, retinoids, acids and moisturisers are used alternately, in order to reduce irritation to skin while maximising benefits. In this episode, Dr Teo shows you how you can hack this process.

A few years back I was asked to comment on something called the anti-moisturiser trend. I honestly hadn’t heard about it before—but then I quickly realised that the misconception was not as widespread as the journalist had me think. This episode we discuss: What is it about the pro moisturiser (PM) and anti moisturiser (AM) beauty trends? Is it true what the AM group are saying: that because we unquestioningly use moisturiser, we are causing our skin to develop a dependence? Is it possible to break away from this dependence by not using moisturiser altogether?

Do sheet masks work as well as traditional masks? Sheet masks work on the basis of occlusion, meaning when there’s a topical which is applied on the skin and also in contact with something moist such as a sheet mask, there is increased absorption of the topicals by the skin. The question of efficacy is not so much of whether it is a traditional mask (presumably referring to clay masks or gels applied onto skin as it is) or sheet mask, but really depends on what is the active ingredient contained in the mask. With precise active ingredients, the type of mask (sheet or gel for instance) becomes secondary in terms of efficacy, as in my practice for example, whenever I want to increase absorption of any topical that is dispensed to patients, I would advise them to apply a wet cotton sheet (as a wet wrap) on to their face to increase absorption. In this episode we discover: Are overnight masks more effective? Is it necessary to mask the skin? What are the benefits of masking? Can you overdo masking? If yes, how do you know if you are overdoing it? Can you mask daily? Can you combine different masks at one time? Or use one after another? And if so, what are some good combinations to follow? Are there certain masks better suited for certain skin types (eg: peel-off, clay, cream for dry skin, oily skin etc.)? How do you choose the right mask if you have a few different skin problems (eg: dull complexion, dehydrated skin, breakouts all at once) – which skin problem should you address first? Must you follow strictly to the time stated on the instructions during mask applications? What can go wrong if the mask is applied for longer than required?

Skin radiance isn’t a myth, neither is it subjective. Industry giants like LVMH have developed tools that accurately match human perception of skin radiance with measurement of actual skin health markers. That’s why cosmeceuticals play such an important role in skincare formulation—clinical skincare must also demonstrate measurable skin effects. This is achieved by evidence-based, bioactive ingredients that demonstrate efficacy in cell and human studies. In this episode Dr.TWL takes you through the root causes of dull skin.
