In this episode, we tackle the growing trend of using AI to analyze selfies and build skincare routines. We're introducing you to our AI assistant, Sherry, to ask her all the skincare questions we usually tell you not to ask the internet!

While AI can offer some solid baseline advice, we break down exactly why a computer screen cannot replace a real-life esthetician.

00:00.051 --> 00:04.455
[SPEAKER_01]: They will take a photo of their face and ask A.I.

00:04.555 --> 00:07.117
[SPEAKER_01]: what needs to be fixed on my face.

00:07.537 --> 00:09.278
[SPEAKER_01]: And not all the time, does A.I.

00:09.318 --> 00:13.021
[SPEAKER_01]: give you the correct things that you need to target.

00:13.242 --> 00:18.326
[SPEAKER_03]: There's lots of times that we have picked out a suspicious spot that won't show up in an A.I.

00:18.366 --> 00:18.706
[SPEAKER_03]: picture.

00:18.926 --> 00:19.687
[SPEAKER_03]: Keep that in mind.

00:20.007 --> 00:23.791
[SPEAKER_03]: that your esthetician can find things that a pitcher can.

00:23.871 --> 00:27.715
[SPEAKER_05]: Someone bought a too much of stuff like straight-style silica, and they burn their faces out.

00:27.735 --> 00:35.282
[SPEAKER_05]: So like you'll be told that you need some kind of acne product, but yet that one that you might buy might be too harsh for your skin.

00:41.690 --> 00:43.470
[SPEAKER_05]: Welcome back, today's GameBase Pot.

00:43.630 --> 00:52.872
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm your host, Lena License Estition, and today I have Shelby, Shelby Eres, Cosmautologist Hall, Kristen, Kristen Sandborn, License Estition.

00:53.192 --> 00:55.793
[SPEAKER_03]: And Georgia, Georgia Davenport, License Estition.

00:56.233 --> 01:00.873
[SPEAKER_05]: And today we are asking chat, GPT, all of those questions that we told you not to ask us.

01:01.074 --> 01:02.954
[SPEAKER_05]: So let me know in the comments.

01:03.754 --> 01:05.234
[SPEAKER_05]: Also her name is Sherry.

01:05.514 --> 01:06.094
[SPEAKER_04]: Hi, Sherry.

01:06.294 --> 01:08.915
[SPEAKER_04]: What depth should I get in my cradle that today?

01:10.646 --> 01:12.588
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, you can call me Sherry, no problem at all.

01:13.108 --> 01:15.730
[SPEAKER_02]: For micro-needling depth, it depends on what you're targeting.

01:15.970 --> 01:20.913
[SPEAKER_02]: For more super-fessional texture or glow, often around 0.25 to 0.5 millimeters is used.

01:21.394 --> 01:25.717
[SPEAKER_02]: If you're addressing deeper scars or wrinkles, sometimes steps go up to around 1.0 to 1.5 millimeters.

01:27.622 --> 01:31.104
[SPEAKER_02]: but it's always best to tailor the depths to the area and your comfort.

01:31.265 --> 01:32.986
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, you're not listening to you for a second.

01:33.006 --> 01:34.187
[SPEAKER_05]: That's not really light.

01:34.247 --> 01:35.367
[SPEAKER_04]: That's not necessarily.

01:35.468 --> 01:36.108
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, it's just light.

01:36.148 --> 01:36.708
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, okay.

01:37.029 --> 01:38.930
[SPEAKER_05]: So, so many people are doing it at home.

01:38.950 --> 01:41.011
[SPEAKER_05]: That probably wouldn't be the worst advice.

01:41.031 --> 01:42.833
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, because that's the area on the side of caution.

01:42.973 --> 01:43.233
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

01:43.573 --> 01:43.833
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

01:44.034 --> 01:44.554
[SPEAKER_05]: I will give it.

01:44.614 --> 01:45.735
[SPEAKER_05]: OK, Sherry gets one.

01:46.595 --> 01:47.696
[SPEAKER_05]: One star.

01:47.716 --> 01:50.458
[SPEAKER_05]: OK, he wants to ask the next question.

01:50.958 --> 01:51.519
[SPEAKER_01]: Hi, Sherry.

01:51.739 --> 01:55.542
[SPEAKER_01]: What is the best facial for aging skin?

01:57.032 --> 02:03.817
[SPEAKER_02]: There's no absolute best for everyone, but a solid option for aging skin is something like a collagen boosting treatment.

02:04.298 --> 02:07.941
[SPEAKER_02]: Think micro-needling with radio frequency or a fractional laser.

02:08.421 --> 02:10.803
[SPEAKER_02]: Of course, your skin's needs and goals matter.

02:10.883 --> 02:14.366
[SPEAKER_02]: So a consultation with an esthetician you trust is always a great step.

02:14.766 --> 02:16.127
[SPEAKER_05]: You know what, Sherry's on it today.

02:16.707 --> 02:18.549
[SPEAKER_05]: Give us a good presentation.

02:19.069 --> 02:24.413
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going in for my very first facial what are some questions.

02:27.713 --> 02:29.094
[SPEAKER_02]: I love that you're prepping for this.

02:29.575 --> 02:34.058
[SPEAKER_02]: Definitely ask what type of facial they recommend based on your skin type and goals.

02:34.559 --> 02:39.362
[SPEAKER_02]: You'll also want to ask how your skin might react afterward, like will there be redness or downtime?

02:39.783 --> 02:41.684
[SPEAKER_02]: Check what products they're using and why.

02:41.704 --> 02:45.928
[SPEAKER_02]: And of course, ask what you should do at home afterward to maintain the results.

02:46.428 --> 02:48.530
[SPEAKER_02]: A great esthetician will be happy to guide you.

02:48.830 --> 02:50.110
[SPEAKER_01]: That one is a great one.

02:50.490 --> 03:03.714
[SPEAKER_01]: What I'm currently seeing is they will take a photo of their face and ask AI what needs to be fixed on my face, what do I need to target?

03:04.494 --> 03:09.935
[SPEAKER_01]: And not all the time does AI give you the correct things that you need to target.

03:10.255 --> 03:13.536
[SPEAKER_01]: A great example is consultations behind the chair.

03:13.556 --> 03:15.157
[SPEAKER_01]: I do more hair.

03:16.397 --> 03:23.920
[SPEAKER_01]: but they'll take a photo and they'll ask, what haircut is best for me and my face shape?

03:24.521 --> 03:27.422
[SPEAKER_01]: And AI gives all of these wonderful examples.

03:27.482 --> 03:43.810
[SPEAKER_01]: Some of them are really great, but what's missing is the consultation aspect of, yes, in this photo where you're skin and your cheekbones and everything is literally glowing and your face is highlighted perfectly.

03:45.050 --> 03:52.995
[SPEAKER_01]: In this AI generated photo, it looks wonderful, but the reality is you're not going to be this AI photo every single day.

03:53.696 --> 04:08.106
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not going to have either the style doesn't fit your lifestyle, the skincare regimen may not fit what is actually best because AI is just feeding off the information that you are giving it.

04:09.226 --> 04:25.917
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I can't feel your skin like I have breakouts under my skin right now that you can't necessarily see But as an ascetician as I'm touching your skin and cleansing your skin, you'd be able to feel it and also they don't know, you know, other parts of medication you're taking Yeah, they know what kind of health issues you have.

04:26.237 --> 04:27.338
[SPEAKER_03]: They don't know if you're diabetic.

04:27.358 --> 04:31.080
[SPEAKER_03]: They don't know if all these other things that's going on, you can't see in a picture.

04:31.300 --> 04:32.701
[SPEAKER_03]: There's lots of times that we have

04:33.341 --> 04:37.804
[SPEAKER_03]: pick to out a suspicious spot that won't show up in an AI picture.

04:38.045 --> 04:45.090
[SPEAKER_03]: Keep that in mind that your esthetician can find things that a picture can't or that AI doesn't know to look for.

04:45.548 --> 04:47.850
[SPEAKER_05]: We took a picture of me to see what it would say.

04:48.690 --> 04:51.152
[SPEAKER_05]: And it said, you got really pretty skin already.

04:51.232 --> 04:53.954
[SPEAKER_05]: Smooth texture balance overall in your complexion looks healthy.

04:54.074 --> 05:01.279
[SPEAKER_05]: From what I can see, I'd focus your skincare on prevention, glow, and keeping your skin strong, long-term rather than trying to fix major issues.

05:01.980 --> 05:10.446
[SPEAKER_05]: Here's what I tell you if we are sitting in the treatment room together, gentle cleanser, vitamin C for brightness and collagen, hydrating moisturizer, SPF.

05:11.967 --> 05:18.150
[SPEAKER_05]: Night time, gentle cleanser, retinol, peptide, or hydrating serum, good barrier support moisturizer.

05:18.830 --> 05:23.453
[SPEAKER_05]: For treatments, micro-needling, hydrophacials, light chemical pills, LED light therapy.

05:23.913 --> 05:24.873
[SPEAKER_05]: I just thought about this though.

05:24.893 --> 05:27.535
[SPEAKER_05]: I've kind of trained my chair for.

05:28.897 --> 05:32.898
[SPEAKER_04]: But I also, like, they don't know that I'm actually acne prone and that they're not all I need.

05:33.158 --> 05:37.640
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, like, I use a clearing serum and if it wasn't for that, I would have many more breakouts.

05:38.320 --> 05:47.183
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, it says one thing I know is your skin doesn't look overly oily or acne prone, so I wouldn't overdo harsh exfoliants or aggressive acne products, which I wouldn't do aggressive acne products.

05:47.323 --> 05:50.404
[SPEAKER_04]: But you would definitely want to, but I do have breakouts for you.

05:50.424 --> 05:51.404
[SPEAKER_05]: You have breakouts.

05:51.664 --> 05:53.385
[SPEAKER_00]: You have pain in your neck and shoulders.

05:54.405 --> 05:59.929
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't chase the symptoms, come see me, Eric Sandborn, licensed massage therapist.

06:00.710 --> 06:06.354
[SPEAKER_00]: My targeted body works will definitely help out with correcting the issue in that neck and shoulders.

06:06.834 --> 06:09.196
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't go chasing symptoms all over the place.

06:09.356 --> 06:11.717
[SPEAKER_00]: We just focus in on the area that's needed.

06:12.038 --> 06:16.381
[SPEAKER_00]: My deep tissue work is designed to break up muscle knots and to relieve nerve pain.

06:16.721 --> 06:22.405
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't use lotions and oils, we keep the clothing on and we just focus in on the areas that are needed.

06:22.465 --> 06:24.306
[SPEAKER_00]: So book your session, let's get the work.

06:24.726 --> 06:25.807
[SPEAKER_00]: Link is in the description.

06:28.668 --> 06:39.796
[SPEAKER_03]: And I wonder in the future, if it's going to be like social media, where it's going to be paid advertisers that are going to be the product recommendations.

06:39.816 --> 06:47.102
[SPEAKER_03]: Our certain brands are going to be recommended because they are investing in this AI.

06:47.122 --> 06:48.343
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a lot of things to consider.

06:49.143 --> 07:02.608
[SPEAKER_03]: behind the scenes that your estition may know they may be recommending products and kind of like your influencers just on a basis of those companies to the one that are paying yeah well and and I feel like a lot of times when you look something up it says like

07:03.474 --> 07:16.571
[SPEAKER_04]: from resources and it like gives you the resources well those resources first of all aren't always accurate and second of all who's paying for their stuff to show up first and whatnot because there's so many products out they're only so many.

07:16.631 --> 07:17.372
[SPEAKER_04]: They're not.

07:17.612 --> 07:21.116
[SPEAKER_01]: She's not labeling which product type to use.

07:21.197 --> 07:21.517
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

07:21.697 --> 07:21.857
[SPEAKER_01]: So

07:22.778 --> 07:31.541
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, just like we were talking about in past episodes, just because it's a moisturizer doesn't mean it's a great moisturizer for everyone.

07:31.581 --> 07:33.541
[SPEAKER_01]: Your skin is not one size fits all.

07:34.121 --> 07:41.443
[SPEAKER_01]: So you can have all of these products, and I'm sure that Georgia uses almost all of the products that were listed there.

07:51.847 --> 07:53.556
[SPEAKER_01]: You are truly meeting.

07:54.140 --> 08:00.922
[SPEAKER_05]: Well, here's the product knowledge, because my TikTok was like someone's buy and sell silks here.

08:00.942 --> 08:05.084
[SPEAKER_05]: And while someone bought it too much of a sell like straight sell silks and they burn their face with sell.

08:05.104 --> 08:08.525
[SPEAKER_05]: So like you'll be told that you need some kind of acne product.

08:08.545 --> 08:12.606
[SPEAKER_05]: But yet that one that you might buy might be too harsh for your skin.

08:13.066 --> 08:16.247
[SPEAKER_05]: There's so many products on the shelves right now.

08:16.567 --> 08:17.388
[SPEAKER_03]: It gets overwhelming.

08:17.408 --> 08:19.768
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I know when I go with the tools, I just overhaul it.

08:19.808 --> 08:21.489
[SPEAKER_05]: Or how do we even bring in labels like?

08:22.129 --> 08:24.472
[SPEAKER_05]: It's so important to learn how to read ingredient labels.

08:24.652 --> 08:25.714
[SPEAKER_05]: Look at the percentages.

08:25.754 --> 08:27.876
[SPEAKER_05]: Like percentages matter in your skincare.

08:28.957 --> 08:30.419
[SPEAKER_05]: What's first on your ingredient labels?

08:30.439 --> 08:31.080
[SPEAKER_05]: What's most on there?

08:31.100 --> 08:39.730
[SPEAKER_05]: So if you're first product is like if you the first word on the ingredient labels like right now, you know you have a high percentage of retinal in the product water or in the water.

08:41.732 --> 08:55.647
[SPEAKER_03]: how the the retinal the formulation of the retinal and what the molecular molecular structure is because that is different molecular structures go into different levels of the skin and so you know we can go down a rabbit hole with the difference between a medical grade product.

08:55.687 --> 08:57.108
[SPEAKER_05]: My biggest one on that like big.

08:57.128 --> 08:58.650
[SPEAKER_03]: And over the countersure you're dot your

08:59.170 --> 09:01.452
[SPEAKER_03]: your dollar store products versus your professional products.

09:01.553 --> 09:03.074
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just so black.

09:03.114 --> 09:04.435
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just so much different.

09:04.856 --> 09:07.458
[SPEAKER_05]: Like your biggest example of that one is hyaluronic acid.

09:07.939 --> 09:13.244
[SPEAKER_05]: If you have a hyaluronic acid serum that feels slimy and sits on top of the skin, you have a huge molecule and it's not doing nothing.

09:13.264 --> 09:14.645
[SPEAKER_04]: And so it is sitting on the surface of your skin.

09:14.645 --> 09:20.810
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it's not, it's not pin-training, it's supposed to, but if you're higher than my acids here, I'm actually absorbs, almost feels like water.

09:20.830 --> 09:23.372
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, and then it's no longer sitting on your skin.

09:23.392 --> 09:27.896
[SPEAKER_05]: You have a small molecular size, and then it's actually pin-training where it needs to penetrate.

09:28.296 --> 09:30.578
[SPEAKER_05]: Have you seen those people look at the higher than my acid powder?

09:31.532 --> 09:34.675
[SPEAKER_05]: Mix it with water, it looks like snail slime.

09:35.575 --> 09:36.736
[SPEAKER_05]: Like it's really slimy.

09:37.117 --> 09:39.519
[SPEAKER_05]: But I get a high amount of acid powder and mix it with water.

09:39.539 --> 09:42.861
[SPEAKER_05]: And like I have two months worth of high amount of acid right here for like $4.

09:43.061 --> 09:46.604
[SPEAKER_05]: And it's like, yeah, but it's not, it's not doing anything.

09:46.624 --> 09:54.231
[SPEAKER_05]: Like, you're gonna feel really good on the surface, but it's not, because it's supposed to penetrate and plump the skin from the inside out.

09:54.251 --> 09:55.552
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not going anywhere but your pillowcase.

09:55.572 --> 09:59.094
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, so if it's staying on the surface, it feels good for a little bit.

09:59.955 --> 10:02.058
[SPEAKER_05]: And then it's not doing what it's supposed to do.

10:02.278 --> 10:04.561
[SPEAKER_05]: So you want your highlight acid to literally not sit on the skin.

10:04.881 --> 10:09.366
[SPEAKER_03]: So I think a lot of what we're saying is your AI is only as smart as what you put into it.

10:09.566 --> 10:11.989
[SPEAKER_03]: The information that you give it is what it's saying.

10:12.009 --> 10:14.572
[SPEAKER_05]: Give us terrible information.

10:14.652 --> 10:18.417
[SPEAKER_03]: But it was very big, you know, it's surface level.

10:18.717 --> 10:19.878
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, very surface level.

10:20.359 --> 10:24.902
[SPEAKER_05]: What I will give Sherry props for is she on every is go see her statistic.

10:24.922 --> 10:29.126
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, yes, and that that is 100% there go see your estition.

10:29.246 --> 10:33.729
[SPEAKER_03]: Sherry was very realistic, you know, if you were talking to her on the phone, you might think you're talking to an actual person.

10:33.889 --> 10:34.910
[SPEAKER_03]: Sherry, that is kind of fair.

10:34.950 --> 10:35.570
[SPEAKER_04]: I've never talked to you.

10:35.610 --> 10:36.411
[SPEAKER_04]: I like that before.

10:37.492 --> 10:38.112
[SPEAKER_04]: She just worked.

10:38.132 --> 10:38.372
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

10:39.367 --> 10:39.847
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, she.

10:40.248 --> 10:41.368
[SPEAKER_04]: She got a personality.

10:41.428 --> 10:42.369
[SPEAKER_04]: She's got a little math.

10:42.429 --> 10:44.310
[SPEAKER_05]: I think she's must be in a sense.

10:44.871 --> 10:45.471
[SPEAKER_01]: She'll suffice.

10:45.511 --> 10:46.552
[SPEAKER_04]: She was a little feisty.

10:46.852 --> 10:47.412
[SPEAKER_04]: She's all right.

10:47.492 --> 10:50.514
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, what did Ruth's putting the information into it?

10:51.315 --> 10:54.096
[SPEAKER_01]: You, right, stop.
