Sharing her expert advice on social media, Dr Paul said: “Here are three tips for glowing skin.”
The first tip, according to Dr Paul, involves cleansing and exfoliating.
She said: “Number one – cleanse your face regularly and exfoliate your skin once or twice a week.”
According to the Medifine Skin Clinic, cleansing twice a day is extremely important.
They stressed that in the morning, cleansing your face is beneficial due to the natural exfoliating process that occurs whilst you sleep.
Cleansing your face when you wake helps to remove any toxins, dead skin cells and excess oils the skin may secrete overnight.
The right cleanser will balance your skin and provide a fresh surface for the start of the day allowing for better penetration of skincare products.
Not only this, but cleansing also helps manage pH levels of the skin; enabling sufficient water and product retention.
Dr Paul then stressed the two ingredients to look out for in your moisturiser, as she continued: “Number two – hydrate your skin with a moisturiser that has hyaluronic acid or ceramide in it.”
According to Everyday Health, ceramides are lipids that serve an important function in helping to create and support the skin’s barrier.
Ceramides can be applied topically to boost your moisture levels and repair dry, cracked skin.
Whilst Nivea found hyaluronic acid helps you maintain firmness for longer, and makes skin appear plumper.
Finally, Dr Paul advised people to wear SPF every day, as she explained: “Number three – protect your skin with sunscreen every single day.”
Verywell Health explained sunscreens, which are the first and best line of defence against premature ageing from the sun, are designed to filter out harmful ultraviolet radiation.
Sunscreens can help prevent three types of damage from the sun’s rays: sunburn, skin cancer and premature ageing.
As well as this, the NHS explained when buying sunscreen, the label should have a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30 to protect against UVB and at least four-star UVA protection.
Dr Paul’s TikTok clip, which was shared under the username @drpaulderm, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly amassed 27,100 views.
One person asked the expert: “Good sunscreen recommendation please?”
To this, Dr Paul replied: “My go to are La Roche Posay Anthelios 50 (tinted one), Maelove sun protector, Supergoop sunscreens.”
