She illustrates with her own experience (flaring melasma, photos with and without makeup) and emphasizes that at-home skincare can improve skin tone.

This dude has a fucked up smile. Yeah, he's missing a tooth, but did you even notice that he's missing an eyebrow? Probably not. His tooth is your skin tone. I'm a 40 year old board certified dermatologist and the same exact thing applies to your skin tone when it comes to aging. Nobody's going to be noticing the fine lines or the tiny wrinkles if your skin tone is F'd if you're missing a tooth. This was me a few years ago when my melasma and my brown spots were flaring up. Obviously I have makeup now, but. But this was me last week without any makeup at the beach. So yeah, the first sign of aging is not a fine line or wrinkle, it's your skin tone and you can actually make a difference with your skincare at home. If you guys want to learn more, my newest YouTube video is up now.
