In this episode, consultant dermatologists Dr Emma Craythorne and Dr Ellie Rashid break down the dermatologist-approved rules for choosing, applying, and removing makeup safely.

And is expired makeup as bad as people say? In this evidence-based conversation, Emma and Ellie explain how makeup interacts with real skin conditions like acne, rosacea, and melasma. They share the truth about non-comedogenic products, the role of iron oxides, what happens when makeup is not removed correctly, and why the way you clean your tools matters more than the makeup itself.

• How To Protect Your Skin Barrier & Microbiome | Dermatologist’s Golden Rules

  Is your skincare routine helping your skin... or actually damaging it? Welcome to the After Hours Skin Clinic, the place where the skincare conversation never stops. In this episode Consultant Dermatologists Dr Emma Craythorne and Dr Ellie Rashid return with Dermatology's Golden Rule #2: Understand your skin barrier and microbiome and protect them! Your skin barrier is thinner than cling film, yet it’s your body’s first line of defense, keeping moisture in and irritants out. When it’s damaged, you’ll see it in dryness, redness, breakouts, and sensitivity. In this episode, Emma and Ellie break down what your skin barrier actually does, how your microbiome helps to keep it balanced, and what happens when things go wrong. They explore the ingredients that strengthen or sabotage your barrier, the skincare habits that cause more harm than good, and what to do if you’ve over-exfoliated or over-treated your skin. You’ll also hear why “less is more” is often the secret to healthy, resilient skin, and why cleansing, moisturising, and daily SPF remain the real golden trio. Finally, Emma and Ellie take a closer look at viral trends like the caveman routine, exploring why skipping skincare altogether can be just as damaging. This is your weekly dermatologist-led masterclass in skin science. Listen and learn how to protect the delicate ecosystem that keeps your skin glowing, balanced, and strong.
