"  Famed cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Fredric Brandt hosts a talk show on channel 106 on SiriusXM every Saturday where he fields callers&amp;#039; questions on all matters skincare. Earlier this week, he held his first-ever &amp;quot;Face to Face&amp;quot; live recording with a small studio audience. Before you tune in for the whole interview, catch an exclusive sneak peek below. What products should you use everyday? When should you use injectables? Dr. B has you covered.  What&amp;#039;s the first question you ask patients?  The first question I always ask is, &amp;quot;How much time are you spending in the sun?&amp;quot; And people are always miffed by that because they don&amp;#039;t realize they&amp;#039;re spending a lot more time in the sun then they think. Then I always ask, &amp;#039;Are you wearing sunscreen?&amp;#039; If they start hesitating, I know what the answer is\u2026 I&amp;#039;m a big believer in sunscreen. Can you talk about sunscreens? Is it a myth that they make skin oily? Sunscreens are essential. I think people love to make up reasons why they can&amp;#039;t wear sunscreens, but there is a sunscreen for everybody now...If you have an acne problem and you break out a lot, contrary to what you may think, some of the non-chemical sunscreens, some of the physical blocks are better...I think 99% of the time, sunscreens and makeup do not cause acne. It&amp;#039;s mostly hormonal. Aside from sunscreen, what should you use everyday? You want to use [a product with] antioxidants because even though you&amp;#039;re wearing a sunscreen, it&amp;#039;s not protecting you fully from all the free radicals that are generated by the sun, by the toxins in the environment and even your own body produces free radical damage\u2026What are some of the antioxidants out there? We know soy is an antioxidant. Ubiquinol is an anti-oxidant.  Tell us about your products! I have patients that only want to use one product in the morning and one at night and then I have people like me that like to layer, so you can layer these different products: You have a Glow Retinol, you have your antioxidant for the day, you have your DNA repair at night.  How do you layer products?  When we&amp;#039;re talking about layering products\u2014the ABCs of skincare\u2014what goes on first? A) a cream? B) a serum? C) a lotion? A serum: Because you want to put the lightest products going on first, then the heavier products can penetrate through them. But a serum would have a harder time penetrating through a thick moisturizer. You always want to put lighter products on first and then go to heavy.  Let&amp;#039;s talk about injectables! How do you choose what&amp;#039;s right for you? You know what I call that? &amp;quot;Injection selection.&amp;quot; There are so many different injectables\u2026.I love the hyaluronic acids. Hyaluronic acids are in moisturizers. In moisturizers they&amp;#039;re not cross linked so they&amp;#039;re free and they&amp;#039;re easy to put on your skin. When you&amp;#039;re injecting a hyaluronic acid, they&amp;#039;re cross linked \u2026.The nice thing about hyaluronic acids is that if you don&amp;#039;t like them, you can inject an enzyme and dissolve them. When you want to add structure to your face, you want a product that&amp;#039;s fairly dense (when you want to build the cheekbone or lift the cheek) like Voluma or Juvaderm, when you want to fill a fine line in, you want to use a hyaluronic acid that will easily disperse in the skin like Belotero. Does Retin-A thin your skin? It actually doesn&amp;#039;t. It actually thickens the collagen layer of your skin, but it actually makes your stratum corneum or the dead skin cells exfoliate more and it gives a smoother surface to the skin. It thickens the skin. It thickens your collagen bundles, and it also evens out the dead skin cell surface so the benefit of that is your skin&amp;#039;s going to reflect light better. It&amp;#039;s going to make your skin look more luminescent.   For the entire interview with Dr. B, tune in to Sirius radio on Saturday at 1 pm ET.
