Listening Comprehension questions:

3. What natural ingredient is liken to serum?
Question 31-40
What does that mean? "It comes down to the very fundamental principles of
physics and chemistry," says Dr. Schultz. "After you apply your first product, the
second product has to have the ability to go through it in order to penetrate the skin."
Line In other words, the first things you put on your skin should be the lightest texture.
(5) Then, work your way up to the heaviest, hard-to-penetrate textures, which should be
applied last. So, anything that is water- or alcohol-based should come first, followed
by your gels, then your light lotions, then heavier creams, thick serums, and, finally,
anything ointment-based (i.e. water-free). One way to tell how heavy the product is?
Dr. Schultz says to read the ingredient list. Find out where the oils, lanolins, and
(10) petrolatums fall the higher up they are, he says, the harder the product is to
Dr. Schultz says that getting the right order down will take some trial and
error, as often it can be difficult to determine weight if two products are very similar
in texture. One way to know for sure: If the product is just pooling on the skin and not
absorbing, then it's not penetrating the skin, and, therefore, not doing your
(15) complexion any good. If the product is setting and you don't have any residue, then it
has penetrated. According to Schultz, no skin care product (other than an ointment)
should just lay on top of your skin everything should penetrate.
Now, according to Dr. Schultz, there are two exceptions to this weight rule:
sunscreen and acne products. While it may seem intuitive to do sunscreen last, Dr.
(20) Schultz says SPF needs time to set about 20 to 30 minutes so he almost always
recommends patients apply a lightweight SPF lotion first. Another reason SPF needs
to go on bare skin? "Sunscreen molecules must align and orientate parallel to each
other, creating a grid that absorbs UV energy," he says. Creams can interfere with this
grid, both on physical and chemical sunscreens, because the product can create bumps
(25) and ridges on the surface of the skin. In addition, most sunscreens were tested on bare
skin, meaning you don't know how applying a cream first will impact the efficacy and
duration of your sun protection. So, either apply a light sunscreen first, followed by
products that are heavier than that, or skip that whole mess by opting for a moisturiser
with sunscreen, or Dr. Schultz' personal favourite, a BB cream.
