"Hi. My name is Mary Thinnes and I'm a skin care expert. Now I'm going to discuss with you proper products for home use, after treatments and when to use them. Right now since she's already had a chemical peel done I am going to put on the pure hyaluronic acid. And as I had mentioned before, pure hyaluronic acid, it's clear in nature as you can see, is not and acid. It's a little deceiving with the word. But it's actually a moisturizer. So she definitely had a laser and professional treatments done. So in order to rehydrate her skin again and balance out the PH's I'm going to definitely put on the hyaluronic acid. An then also I'm going to let that dry for about 30 seconds to a minute and then I'm going to go ahead and apply the sunscreen. And sunscreen is so important especially after a professional treatment because your skin now after a profession treatment is so much more sensitive and since you will be going outside and the sun most likely will be out unless you've done the treatment at night, which is recommended in the summer time, you'll definitely be in the sun. And like I said your skin is more sensitive to the suns exposure. So definitely put on sunscreen as well. Also you're going to use your, for hyper pigmentation you're going to be using your pigment gels at home and for anti aging skin, mature skin you're going to be using your vitamin C's. So for all different skin types you're going to have all those products at home for home care use."
