Many will probably recognise this, your mascara sticks to your eyelids, your eyeliner line has disappeared, and despite all the good advice from Jetske, you still look tired. Maybe you are asked if you have slept badly, especially in the evenings.
My criteria for good skincare products is that they are able to keep the skin in healthy condition. Since it is only a healthy skin that is really beautiful. Believe me; you are better off focusing on this than on the lifting or anti-wrinkling effect of products.
There is an extremely good website which shows you how to examine your own skin for irregular or malignant moles. The site is www.myskincheck.nl. I recommend everyone with an increased risk of skin cancer to look at this website.
Now the winter tyres are on the car, the ice and snow clearing equipment is on standby in the garage (we don’t want to get caught out this year….), indoors the central heating is belting out we are suffering again. Dry flaky skin.
Those warm rosy Dutch cheeks. Nice, until you get them yourself. It starts with a small burst vessel and before you know it, both cheeks are full of them. And if you are really unlucky, you get a red nose too. When you look in the mirror you immediately see the image of your mother, as she, too, suffered from them.
You only have to google “pore-minimizer skincare” and you receive more than 50,000 responses. If there are so many products around that reduce enlarged pores, then there must be at least some that do actually work? But unfortunately, this is also such a good example of how we as consumers are sucked in by these claims. Enlarged pores cannot be reduced with normal skincare products. It’s high time we take a deeper look into this topic.
You know that summer is here by the amount of people coming in to have examinations for moles. Obviously we have another good look at our skin when we put on our swimming shorts or bikini and it is then that we notice them.
Skin cancer is becoming increasingly common. It is the fastest growing cancer and each year there are tens of thousands of new cases. Sunlight is the biggest factor. I will explain below how a failure in cell growth can initiate early skin cancer: suspicious areas on the skin.
A while ago I gave an interview for the Dutch Consumers’ Association Health Guide. I was asked if the cellulite creams on the market actually do what they promise.
A burning, prickling, stinging skin. How distressing! And if you look in the mirror you can’t really notice anything. Sometimes this happens if you have just applied a new cream, and sometimes if you haven’t changed anything at all.
