My mother would not allow me to wear make-up until I had spent 12 months establishing a skincare regime. I was 13 when I started. I am now 64 and I am forever grateful for her setting me on that path.

34 years old, starting to see a little bit of aging; but I have been so overwhelmed with where to start. Thank you for this perfect, honest breakdown!!

[toshibatewari]

I started in 5th grade- I'm 48 now and often mistaken to be in my early 30's. Good diet+skin care= minimal signs of aging

[MARYJ]

I have to say I don’t comment a lot, but I do appreciate a doctor that talks about skin care and not just an easy fix surgical procedure, that is to be respected not many do that.

[kriskurus]

I started day/night routine about 3 years ago, using glycolic acid and vitamin C +moisturizer and sunscreen every day, and at night niacinamide and retinol +moisturizer. I swear, my skin hasn’t been that healthy and young 10 years ago! Consistency is the secret!

I am so pleased I found your videos. It’s not often you find a plastic surgeon who is so honest and guides us into skin care. I’ve been really looking after my skin since I was 14yrs thanks to my grandmother and mother and now at 74yrs my skin is quite good considering Australia has the worse extremes in weather. 😊💕

[kathystclair]

I'm glad to hear a plastic surgeon talking skin care instead of only plastic surgery. I agree with everything you are saying. Consistent skin care is the key to noce skin. BTW, you and your wife a beautiful couple together.

[AfrahHamdyAR]

This is profound info, and the key is consistently and discipline, there is no magic pill or shortcut to natural beauty 💙

[ramblechillray]

sobbing quietly watching this after just applying my la mer cream moisturizer.

My mom taught me from a young age to take care of my skin so it comes natural to me to do it. Thanks mom!

[nancybradley]

I learned about sunblock in the '60's and have been utterly faithful to using it, even if I don't leave the house. Good skin care, diet, exercise like Pilates, and at 77, i look like I'm in my 50's. Discipline abd consistency!

[estradam.]

Your skin is flawless Dr. Karam! 😊 Thank you for the information.

[LeslieHouser-nhro]

Love the new couch and neutral color palette. It's very relaxing and calming

[rachealzulu]

I'm from Zambia 🇿🇲 Dr I like the fact that you always come out open you tell the truth. Continue with your GOOD WORK. Thank you.

[csharper]

Thank you for taking the time to make these videos! Much appreciated! 😊

[sudo]

One of this channel's best videos. Filled in a lot of gaps.

[Emeldivos]

One extra tip! After putting on sunscreen on your face, also put in on the back of your hands, to prevent aging and spots 😊 this was really educational thanks ☺️ many greetings from Belgium 🇧🇪

[Fatatua]

Thank you for the post and confirming that I'm doing things right. Olé!!!
