0:00.0	Skin is a huge factor when it comes to maintaining your youthfulness, the quality of your
0:19.9	skin, how your face looks.
0:22.3	So can you kind of dive into that about how skincare is such a huge thing? I know you're big on
0:27.3	collagen. Yeah. I always see you taking your collagen in the Instagram stories. So can you kind of
0:32.2	sound off on that on how important that is every single day for me? So, so, so important. And that's the things you do every day
0:39.5	that make who you are and how you age. You can come and see me two or three times a year and we can do
0:45.7	Botoxville or whatever you need. But if you're not doing great skincare every day, you cannot
0:50.7	maintain your beauty. You absolutely cannot. And I think women are aging so

1:28.1	prevent the browning brown spots. And then at night, collagen grows with the help of vitamin C.
1:33.7	I didn't know was both. Yes. I thought it was just AM.
1:36.9	AM's most important. But PM is like an extra boost of collagen production. So I love that.
1:42.1	Yeah. So definitely use your vitamin C twice a day.
1:45.0	But you can't, it's really important to note that you can't use some products with some,
1:48.9	right? So some acids won't mix with other acids. So actually in general, it's fairly
1:53.7	compatible. Like I think people who obsess about compatibility of agents are a little being
1:58.7	too anal about it. Mostly, most forms of vitamin C can interact
2:03.0	with almost everything. Amazing. Yeah. And at their age 30, you're going to definitely start on retinae,
