A few years back I was asked to comment on something called the anti-moisturiser trend. I honestly hadnât heard about it beforeâbut 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 thereâs 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) â 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 isnât 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. Thatâs why cosmeceuticals play such an important role in skincare formulationâclinical 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.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a humectant - a molecule that attracts water, and holds about 1000 times its weight in water. Youthful skin has these properties - turgor, resilience and pliability, due to its high content of water. Daily external injury, in addition to the normal process of ageing, causes loss of moisture and a key molecule naturally involved in countering the loss is HA, with its unique capacity in retaining water.
In todayâs episode we discover:
Is it possible to replace moisturisers with hyaluronic acid serums?
If the body naturally produces hyaluronic acid, then why should we still use serums?
The secret to flawlessâis it genetics or?

Mirror mirror⊠who is the fairest of them all?
When K-pop fever swept the globeâwomen in asia quickly become obsessed with the alabaster white skin of their favourite K-idols. Well actually, growing up in this part of the world, I can testify that our obsession with fair skin dates back further.
This podcast episode delves into the secrets of the fair-skinned, which really isnât that a big secret at all. It is in their genetics. But that isnât the full story. Porcelain skin is also an illusionâconjured up byâŠthe best cosmeceuticals. I mean that. The latest research shows that cell energies directly impact skin radianceâand by glow. We really mean that skincare CAN help your skin glow. As can physical therapies like LED light therapy, microdermabrasion and radiofrequencyâwhich are now adapted for home use at Dr.TWL Pharmacy. This podcast episode covers the following:
Is fair skin possible? What are the cultural influences on perception of skin tone?
Fitzpatrick skin types and how this affects skin pigmentation, skin tones, perception of radiance
Skin aging signs can include dull skin, irregular pigmentation and uneven skin tone
Are skin lightening treatments safe and effective?
What skin lightening treatments are available?
How to make your skin glow
K-beauty medifacial secrets to glowing skin
How to love your skin by keeping it healthy
That being said, a lot of Asian women do still want a fairer skin tone â is this actually possible? How much lighter can one go? So I think it is important for us to address thisâfor those who truly desire to become porcelain white, is getting a few shades lighter a possibility? In this podcast episode, I want to share how fairness is really but an illusion of translucency and skin health in those who are already of a certain phototype. More importantly, for women of color, how you can achieve skin radianceâwhich truly begins from the inside.

Want to know what my 3-Step DIY Home Facial looks like? Hereâs a hint, itâs also what I call my K-beauty medifacial hackâfor all skin types!
The concept of a facial isnât quite defined by scienceâ from the laypersonâs perspective it can be a cleanse/extraction/mask treatment at an aestheticianâs ; at a dermatologistâs office this can include laser facials/chemical peels or a combination of procedures. Derms generally donât recommend extractionsâthis causes worse inflammation and scarring. K-beauty popularised medi-facials which are a form of microdermabrasion (hydrodermabrasion) that exfoliate and infuse nutrients into skin simultaneously.These days home facial devices can mimic certain technologies wellâmicrodermabrasion and radiofrequency for instance in hand-held devices. Chemical peels with gentle fruit enzyme peels like papain and bromelain are safe even for sensitive skin to use at home when formulated correctly.
But are facials actually effective? What makes an express facial for that matterâeven a thing? Can we hack the process at home?
In this podcast we cover:
Instant Glow/Deep Cleansing Face Mist Facial
SUITABLE FOR: ALL SKIN TYPES, ESPECIALLY HELPFUL FOR ACNE, PIGMENTATION, AGING SKIN
Step 1 CLEANSE EFFECTIVELY
Step 2 TONE-INFUSE ANTIOXIDANTS/PEELS
