Well, hello, hello, guys. You're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K., Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon,

and today we're going to talk about dynamic duos.

So, life is better in pairs, and that is why sometimes skincare products also work better in pairs.

There is a very symbiotic relationship sometimes between certain skincare ingredients,

and using one is great, but using two can be

much more effective and give you beautiful, amazing results for your skin. And I read a great

article in New Beauty recently. This was inspired by that article, but I'm going to talk to you

about dynamic duos for your skin.

So number one, vitamin C plus vitamin E together. You know that these are some of the most

potent antioxidants on the market. Antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E are very important

to the skin. We want to apply vitamin C in the morning as a sun

protectant. It helps prevent brown spots and oxidative damage to the skin. Vitamin C is rich in

promoting your collagen production and brightening your skin. And did you know that vitamin E also

protects your skin from unstable molecules called free radicals that damage your

skin cells. And the chemistry between these two products can result in even more brightening,

more healthy, and more hydrated skin. Often, vitamin E can come in an oil base that absorbs the best.

My vitamin C is amazing and it is oil based,

but not the kind of oil that makes you greasy or feel plugged. It's even safe for acneic skin.

But using vitamin C and vitamin E together amplifies the skin, leaving your skin up to four times

more protected than just using sunscreen alone.

You can apply your sunscreen after the vitamin C and E and get four times more protection

since you've amplified the results of these potent antioxidants.
