Emma Craythorne (1:02)

Most of the things I would spend my money on from my skin is really incredibly inexpensive. So what does your nighttime skin routine look like?

Ellie Rashid (1:11)

I absolutely love applying this at night. It smells divine.

Emma Craythorne (1:15)

If I wasn't in the position where I am to have all of these things, I would still spend my money there.

Ellie Rashid (1:26)

Hello and welcome to the After Hours Skin Clinic. I'm Dr. Ellie Rashid.

Emma Craythorne (1:30)

And I'm Dr. Emma Craythorne. We're both Consultant Dermatologists here in Central London.

Ellie Rashid (1:35)

But this is our favourite clinic where we unpack the evidence, challenge the trends and answer the questions that you might not always have time to ask your dermatologist.

Emma Craythorne (1:43)

And if you don't have one, you do now.

Ellie Rashid (1:46)

OK, so what are we talking about today, Emma?

Emma Craythorne (1:50)

Well, I think we're going to talk about what we as dermatologists spend our money on. And I think it always has to be brought back to the skin. So not just like our kitchens, which is what we're both spending our money on.

Ellie Rashid (2:01)

An ordinate amount of money on.

Emma Craythorne (2:03)

Like, how does it cost so much? I even knew that it was going to cost more than I had budgeted for. And yet it's cost even more than I budgeted the extra bit for. I can't believe you're using my builders as well for yours.

Ellie Rashid (2:16)

Yeah. Oh my God, they're amazing. I love them.

Emma Craythorne (2:19)

We share too much.

Ellie Rashid (2:21)

Our lives have become intertwined. I love that we're recording this episode because it's something that we get asked all the time.

Emma Craythorne (2:27)

And actually, you're going to get asked about it because I did an interview today with a journalist for The Times asking me what I spend my money on for my skincare routine. And I think you're speaking to her on Saturday. So I thought, well, this will be quite good to give you a little chance to think about it.

Ellie Rashid (2:45)

Yeah, absolutely.

Emma Craythorne (2:47)

So let's go through what are the and it doesn't have to be just a skincare product. Yeah, obviously, all we do is use Klira on our skin.

Ellie Rashid (2:54)

Yeah, can we be banned from saying Tretinoin and sunscreen? That's just too predictable.

Emma Craythorne (2:59)

As long as we make that the headline is that those are a standard. We both use Day Script in the morning and we both use our Klira special at nighttime.

Ellie Rashid (3:08)

Yeah, that's the that's the top.

Emma Craythorne (3:10)

And of course, as you know, I'm entirely compromised by talking about Klira entirely because it's my company.

This can't just be about a skincare product. It has to be something that you spend your money on, that in some way ends up enhancing your skin. For example, you saw how happy I was after clinic whenever we walked out the door together and I flung over my shoulder my new bag and you could see my purchase of that new bag provided a glow to my face and happiness that made my skin better.

Ellie Rashid (3:44)

You were so happy.

Emma Craythorne (3:45)

So therefore that was a medical intervention to make my skin better. So that's the kind of thing I'm talking about. So what's yours?

Ellie Rashid (3:53)

So you know how much I love going on beautiful sunny holidays and staying in gorgeous hotels. Actually, no, I'm going to take this back. So I do love staying in gorgeous hotels, but this particular holiday, and it will come back to the skin, I absolutely promise you, this particular holiday that we went on, we went to Ile de Ré off the West Coast of France, and everyone cycles everywhere.

Emma Craythorne (4:19)

I told you to get on the bike in London. She won't do it.
