Haifu and... Welcome to The Holistic Skin Guru,

where what's on the surface is just as important as what's

underneath. I'm your host, Aamena. Let's dive deep into

the world of holistic skincare. Here

are five natural fillers for your face. Now, the

next two fillers that I'm gonna talk about, the first two, are

Hayley Bieber's secret to her beautiful skin. They

are hyaluronic acid and collagen peptides. Now,

what is hyaluronic acid and why is it so popular? Well,

hyaluronic acid is actually manufactured in our skin. The

fibroblast in our skin actually makes hyaluronic acid naturally.

But as we age, our extracellular matrix

doesn't produce as much or sometimes environmental

factors impact on the production of hyaluronic acid. Even

our internal health will impact on that. So

we need to put hydration back into our skin and by putting

extra hyaluronic acid onto our skin topically, And

hyaluronic acid comes in different strengths and different weights,

but we do know that hyaluronic acid holds a thousand times its

weight in water. So when we apply it to the skin, it

draws the water lipids into the skin. So the best

way to apply hyaluronic acid to the skin is with wet

hands so that it infuses those water lipids into

your skin and hydrates the skin correctly. Allow

that hyaluronic acid to absorb into the skin before

you apply your moisturizing lotion. The next secret

ingredient for Hailey Bieber was collagen boosting peptides. Now

we know that peptides work beautifully in the skin and

collagen is also produced naturally in our skin. So

here's my favorite brand of collagen and hyaluronic acid.

I only use the Okeone brand. It's made right here in Queensland

in Brisbane, Australia, and it's made with organic ingredients that

are high efficacy because this is a cosmeceutical only

sold in clinics. And I

have only been using these for the last four years. Now,

peptides in skin or collagen boosting peptides in skin work

beautifully because all they're doing is complementing what the skin is

already doing. We know that the skin produces collagen naturally,

but we also know that the skin depletes its collagen production

from the age of 20. So every year that

you grow older, our collagen production reduces. And

so we have to put it back with the treatments that we do

and with the topical treatments that we put onto the skin. Now,

when we do treatments like microneedling, we are actually stimulating the

collagen production in the skin. Another great

treatment for collagen production is HIFU and SQT

biomicroneedling. All three of these treatments will

encourage collagen production at a really high level. Other

treatments such as regular facial massage and

also microdermabrasion, even though we're resurfacing the

skin with that, we are also stimulating the skin cells and

the skin will produce some collagen with those treatments.

But the main thing we want to do is we want to make sure that we put the collagen back in our

skin, either topically or internally, or by stimulating the

skin's natural way of making collagen. You

see, our skin is made up of three layers. We

have our epidermis, our dermis, and our hypodermis. And

our hypodermis is also called our basal layer of our skin. And this is

where the structure of the skin sits. We have our collagen

structure sitting in the hypodermis, in our basal layer.

As we age, those collagen molecules, which think of them as

big round balls, they start to shrink, almost like a

grape turning into a raisin. Now, when we put collagen

back into the subcutaneous tissue, we actually

start to see that that tissue starts to blow up again and

starts to become robust, and then the skin responds.

So we need to nurture the basal layer of

the skin and by taking collagen supplements, by

taking omegas, we actually start to

build the basal layers of our skin and our skin becomes

healthier and stays younger. The second ingredient

that's going to help you act like a filler in your skin

is nourishing oils. And oils are

very rich and they are full of nourishing ingredients

that will help smooth out the skin and help to

fight any free radical damage that's on the skin. We

recommend oils to help nourishing our skin during the winter months,

but it's a great alternative to moisturizers. Even

if you're oily, we don't mind using oils on an oily skin

because oil attracts oil, especially when we're using nourishing oils

to cleanse. So I would think about an oil cleanser. just

to keep your skin at a pH balance and also gently

buff away all the bacteria and the dead skin cells sitting

on the skin. So nourishing oils can be used in two ways,

can be used as a cleanser and can also be used to

nourish the skin as a topical lotion. And

the third natural filler is a vitamin C. Vitamin

C is an antioxidant, and I think, I feel like people

are afraid of this product, and I don't know why this ingredient is

so underutilized, because vitamin C will build

strong skin cells. It'll make your skin stronger. It's

an antioxidant. It'll also clarify the skin and

start to work on the melanin that's sitting in the skin and

start to inhibit it. Vitamin C is

a natural melanin inhibitor. There is something in

our skin that actually attracts the melanin together. It's

an enzyme and the vitamin C actually blocks

this enzyme from forming the melanin in the skin. So it

blocks any more damage or any further pigmentation

from occurring. So Daily use of vitamin C

will ensure that your skin stays clear, bright,

and also allow for an even skin tone. The last

ingredient, and this is my favorite, vitamin A.

Retinols are amazing when they're used correctly, and my

favorite retinol to use is not a tretinoid. I'm

not a fan of those, even though they work well when they're used

correctly, I like a vitamin A, which is

a retinol palmitate. It's gentle, can be used daily

and safely. You don't have to worry about purging or

any other things that could happen with a tretinoid. And it's

very, very safe to use in between your treatments. Your

skin will radiate and glow with health. after

using a vitamin A regularly because a vitamin A

will encourage cellular turnover and your skin

will just feel and look nourished and

beautiful. It will lock in the hydration and it will just help

restructure the skin even further. The best way to

use vitamin A is at night only. Make sure you don't

use it during the day. Always wear sunscreen during the

day. And if you use a vitamin C during

the day and a vitamin A at night, these two complement each

other. So you get much better results long-term. And

of course, consistency is key. If you're consistent with

all of these ingredients, you will start to see results in

your skin. Do you want more information on natural
