One of the cosmetic ingredients which has been proven to work is glycolic acid. There are numerous independent and scientific studies which have been published about the effectiveness of glycolic acid (abstract).
Do anti-wrinkle creams really work? How then? A short time ago I received this question via e-mail. Below is a short answer to this.
Previously I wrote that perfume is not meant to go on skin. Worse still, it is the number 1 allergen in skincare products. Above all it can cause premature skin ageing.
Nu.nl recently reported that anti-wrinkle creams age your skin. This news is very damning and I would now like to let you know the real story.
During the holidays I went to a newly opened children’s park in Laren. As you can see from the photograph, it is a super park.
The illustrations show you how it is not only wrinkles that age the skin. Pigmentation also plays a role. The answer?
Last week I wrote about lavender and that I’d rather have it in my garden than on my face. Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is an ingredient that I do really like using, and also recommend to people. But what does it actually do?
There are many people who regularly experience problems when using cosmetic products. It has become clear from international studies that 50% of women have sensitive skin. Irritation can be in the form of itching, redness, bumps and a burning or prickly sensation. A common myth is that it happens because your skin needs to get used to a product.
I often get asked what the perfect cream is. Sadly, there is no such cream, at least in the sense that one which may be the ultimate product for you may cause problems for someone else.
Washing too often can perhaps cause as much of a problem for acne skin than washing not enough. Drying the skin out and irritation aggravates acne. Try and use less cleanser (or use it less frequently) and look for mild products.
