[Music]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
hello and welcome to the Kings podcast<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
season two I’m your host Manassa and<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
this is my co-host Danielle and today<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
we’re here and we joined with Dr Natalia<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
consultant dermatologist skin cancer<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
surgeon author and<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
bodybuilder and we would love to talk to<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
you today about social media and skare<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
and how we can kind of decipher through<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
all of the trends<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
and the techniques and the tips yeah<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
lots to talk about with that topic on<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
your website you have love the skin your<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
own as your as your phrase so what<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
inspired you to Pioneer that in your<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
work and on your social media I think<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
it’s because I see a lot of women<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
particularly but also some men who just<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
are really unhappy with they they have<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
unrealistic expectations of what their<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
skin should look like and I think social<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
media is 100% to blame for that 100% so<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
filters you know all this kind of stuff<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
people didn’t even realize they were<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
there there until like a few years ago I<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
think I didn’t know filters existed<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
though they may have not may have not<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
existed um 5 years ago I don’t even know<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
um but I think that’s really said an<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
unrealistic expectation of what women<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
and men I have a lot of male patients<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
who have this as well who who think that<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
they should look a certain way and if<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
they don’t like if they’re if they have<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
pores that are slightly big or they have<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
like cous filaments on their nose that’s<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
not normal and then there’s something<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
wrong with them and they have to fix<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
that and then they try to fix it and<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
they get into this like rabbit hole of<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
fix Ing and then going into a circle so<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
I just it upsets me especially when<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
younger people have this CU it’s like<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
it’s hard enough being a teenager and<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
you need you don’t need all this kind of<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
pressure as well so I think that’s kind<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
of where that came from I just I see a<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
lot of people really struggling for no<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
reason you know they have great skin<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
well I think nowadays there are<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
applications where there will be a<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
filter already on you won’t even know<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
and it’s already on um and now<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
everyone’s just striving for Perfection<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
so fix this fix it<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
yeah celebrities don’t help either and<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
in a way it’s kind of blurred the line<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
between what Flawless skin should mean<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
because Flawless skin isn’t no paes no<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
anything like but how do we so how so<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
what would Flawless skin be like how<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
what does normal skin look like so<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
normal skin is is partially also<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
ethnicity related so that’s you know so<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
people who are very fair or like<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
northern European type Irish skin they<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
will have a bit of redness and that’s<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
normal for that type of skin so to have<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
a bit of redness if you’re very fair is<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
normal um to have slightly enlarged<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
pores or slightly more oily skin that’s<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
also normal especially for certain types<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
of skin like uh type six or afroc<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Caribbean people tend to have more oily<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
skin it’s kind of you can kind of even<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
think of it’s slightly more like thicker<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
kind of and like the pores are slightly<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
enlarged that’s normal for that skin<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
type so um but everyone wants to have<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
the same skin which basically no pores<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
like airbrushed you know what I’m<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
talking about so and like the it has to<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
