This is my take on skin care.
1) Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from inside.
2) Eat your fruits and veggies it has all the vitamins and minerals you need.
3)Wash face with gentle face wash and with warm water.
4) Apply moisturiser immediately after washing your face. My personal favourite is Aveeno Baby cream Moisturiser (I am 42 years old, but my skin looks like 32)
5) Take a multivitamin every alternate day.
6) If you can, avoid the sun or use a sunscreen.
7) Eating very high calorie food can cause inflammation to your skin.
8) Last, but not the least, avoid drugs, alcohol, smoking cigarettes, as they age your skin and appearance even faster
Best of luck, ladies and gentlemen!

#1 “ditch the fancy expensive moisturizer.” Proceeds to advertise expensive moisturizer.

Dr Karam: “Ditch all your expensive moisturises”
Also Dr Karam: sells serum for £175 😂🤦🏾‍♀️

Ladies, get in the gym and LIFT heavy weights, 3 times a week minimum. It feels amazing, your body will improve, health and collagen in skin.

Again the essentials are

1. a dedicated sunscreen spf 50 (ideally physical: Zn / Titanium)
2. gentle cleansing. don’t rub or foam on skin
3. moisturizer
4. active ingredients: retinoids and vitamin C at least.
5. consistency and proper execution

Your product price tag will not fit everyone’s pocket. At present I can only watch and listen and learn from your skills of expertise.

In my late 20s my dermatologist told me that the top three things I could do to prevent skin aging was use sunscreen, use sunscreen, and use sunscreen, so I was religious about using it on my face, but I didn't really think about using it elsewhere. Decades later, the difference in the signs aging between my face and neck is staggering, it almost looks like my head is on my mom's neck.
PROTECT YOUR SKIN FROM THE SUN!

Finally people are calling out this doctor! Dr it’s a shame that even at my pay grade I can’t afford one single of your procedures. Come on make it accessible to the masses.

[roxybee]

Dr Karam please do a video about STRETCH MARKS 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 please girls put likes and comments if you’re interested too! It s so hard to find good information about this topic

[lauda]

Don’t buy expensive products but buy mine, just as expensive 😂

[loriterling]

$330 is WAY beyond the means of most people to spend on monthly or even bimonthly skin care products. I wish Dr. Karam would advise us on cost effective brands, rather than just focusing on his extremely expensive products. That would be a REAL help.

[lindagrace]

I do not stress about my skin care regimen as I take on board all the information/suggestions and add to my daily routine and my skin has never looked better 😊

[barbbandurski]

This is one of the most helpful videos on skincare that I have ever had the pleasure to watch. Inspired to be committed to a skincare regime. Thank you.

[carolinemcauliffe-ggtf]

Thanks for pointing out not skipping the sunblock on cloudy days - it’s a reminder I needed as I’ve been guilty of this one recently

[JoanWilliams-ojkw]

I love your honest and blunt opinions. You tell it like it is and that is so refreshing. Thanks so much for the information. Have a blessed day!

Dr K I only started using moisturizers in the last 10 years when I turned 60. I used sunblock as a “moisturizer” since my skin was always oily. I used retin A regularly since I was in my early 30’s. Through a process of trial and error, I realized that sun exacerbated my tendency to age spots. Keep it simple. Keep it clean. When I see people smear layer after layer of product on their faces, I think it’s just so counter productive. Whether you use Ret A or Karam MD, THESE ARE ENOUGH as long as you protect. I live in the Deep South so we get lots of sun year round. What a challenge. You have taught me a lot too and I appreciate your good counsel. Now as I approach 70, I use only a tinted moisturizer on my skin during the day and at night. I still love blushes and eye makeup but on my facial skin I prefer simplicity. If I have a few skin imperfections, I don’t mind letting them show. It’s reality. Thanks Dr K.

[Anna-zunf]

Totally agree with everything you have said! Here in the UK, we had a report a couple of weeks ago, that Nivea ( blue pot) has the same ingredients as La Mer! Thanks for your valuable information!

[rebeccamander]

Always appreciate your honest - straight forward advice. I love skin care and rejuvenation. Live and let live I say and the way I love to live is with great skin! 💛
