Well, hello, hello, guys, and you're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K.

Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon, and today on the podcast, I'm super excited to

introduce you to my Instagram friend, Stephen Co., and you might know his Instagram. It's

kind of Stephen. Say hello from all the way from Canada. Hi, Dr. Kay. It's so nice to finally

meet you. I know. We met on Instagram, right? Mm we met on instagram right yeah it's fun instagram has been

so amazing for my practice this year don't you has it transformed your life a little bit um yeah it's been

really interesting to see um you know different experts to see what sort of work that they're doing

um and especially i think for uh people like you who are you know, different experts to see what sort of work that they're doing. And especially I think

for people like you who are, you know, plastic surgeons, it's really nice to be able to see before

and afters and become educated on sort of what procedures and options are out there for people.

And today we're going to talk about one of my favorite subjects ever, which is

skincare. And I formulated my own skincare line and you are a skincare chemist. So I was so

fascinated to read some of your posts because you really look very analytically at the science

behind skincare and hardly anybody does that out there. Is that just one of your

passions? Yeah. So, I mean, it's also part of my job, I guess, which is to sort of understand

the research, how that translates into marketing and to make blind decisions in terms of, you know,

like what raw materials that we want to purchase and that sort of thing.

So, you know, before we spend, you know, quite a bit of money on a raw material,

I want to make sure that it's actually going to be able to do what is claimed.

And you are a skincare formulator.

So what exactly does that mean that you people will come

to you with wanting to make a product and you'll help them formulate the product of their dreams?
