Have you spent a fortune on expensive creams without any results? Such a waste! Fortunately you really don’t have to spend your whole months salary on unaffordable beauty products with exotic ingredients. You’ll find the “recession” tips for beautiful skin below.
Yesterday, in her new programme “van den Elsen wacht op antwoord”, my namesake Jetske van Elsen went in search of the truth behind the anti-wrinkle cream. She also paid me a visit to ask a few questions.
Determining your skin type is not as easy as it sounds! Because are those bumps really acne or just a result of an over sensitive skin? And what actually is the difference between a “dehydrated” and a “dry” skin? You just have to google it and you become completely disheartened. If you have been able to find out what your skin type is, you then need to start searching for suitable products . But don’t worry help is on its way! Today is part 3 in the mini course “know your skin”:-) I have written previously about dry skin and sensitive skin, and now for the first time about oily skin.
I read about a remarkable study by Yale University in Boston. A couple of months ago Dr. Lubna Pal (Professor in gynecology, obstetrics and fertility) discovered that the more wrinkles someone has in the first years after starting their menopause, the worse their bone quality is.
There is nothing better after a hectic day than running off all the stress in the fresh air. And my day is set up when, early in the morning while the dew is still on the grass I have been for an equally satisfying “meditative” run . At least that was, before my pleasure was broken by the statement given by one Dennis Grossman, an American Plastic Surgeon and writer of “Your Future Face’.

Acne is more common than all other skin disorders put together and as much as even 90 percent of people suffer from it at varying degrees at some time in their lives. In the blog ‘spots: should I go to the Doctor or not?’ I have written all about the development of acne and how to deal with it.
If there is one collective ideology amongst women (and a lot of men) that exists, then it is the wish to grow old beautifully. In other words; we do want the wisdom but not the saggy skin, pigment spots and the deep lines. A bit more Audrey Hepburn and a bit less Bardot…
I regularly receive questions from blog readers about dehydrated skin. But what is it precisely?
Did you always love that feeling of the sun’s rays on your face through the window, then I’m going to throw a spanner in the works again ! Ageing behind glass is a very real prospect! If your work desk, for instance, is facing the sun, then the chances are that you may look like this lady after a few years. This Italian secretary worked for fifteen years with one side of her face exposed to the sun. And look at the result; the left side is 20 years older than the right side!!! Although UVB is blocked by glass, UVA passes straight through it. You should think about this if you do a lot of driving for your work….
Before buying a skincare product I always check its ingredients list. And if alcohol is listed near the top I usually put it straight back on the shelf. Alcohol can dry out and irritate your skin considerably.
