Super products are allowed to be seen. That’s why I like to have my beauty products on display in the bathroom. But be aware that direct sunlight can have a negative effect on cosmetics, particularly creams and lotions. Heat makes active ingredients instable. And you don’t, of course, want your skin to miss out on those valuable vitamins. How can you preserve your beauty secrets?
I am often asked the question: which beauty products do you take on holiday? This was asked most recently by the editorial team at Jan. For those of you who didn’t see the article: I don’t leave the house without my bottle of sun cream, lip balm and a little make-up. For holidays I’ve got an extra couple of favourites.
I am often asked: can sun cream give you spots? And does the sun help or not with acne? Complaints seem to be less frequent in the summer. Why is that exactly?
Every now and again I struggle with my profession. The average Doctor has studied for a good number of years, however, is very obstinate, extremely self-assured and generally not very flexible in their thinking. And I feel that I can say that; I’m a Doctor myself, have been married to one for years and come from a family of them…
The world of cosmetics is not only limited to skin. Let’s not forget hair. It is in itself a science. How can you take the best care of your hair? I have discussed shampoos frequently in the past. But what about conditioners? Are they really necessary?
An estimated one in five women in Europe suffers from Rosacea. So how does this unpleasant skin condition often miss being diagnosed by Doctors? Here is a list of the most common Rosacea triggers. I wonder if you will recognise any.
It has been an exciting week for me. The week when, at long last, my foundation has become a fact. One last photoshoot with, none other than, top model Chelsey, in between interviews and one final check of the packaging, text and product info. A lot of work has gone into it. And I am happy and proud, but most of all very interested in what you think of it!
Something you wouldn’t want on your face, shouldn’t be put on the rest of your body either. Even if body care products never cause a skin reaction, choose mild products for in the bath or under the shower. And you don’t have to wash with soap or other gels every day!
WHY YOU CAN STILL SUFFER DAMAGE EVEN WITH SUN CREAM ON…
It is running far from smoothly in the sun cream world. If a little unlucky you are using a product which visually appears to be doing its job properly, because you no longer burn, but meanwhile you are suffering damage. This is due to the different types of rays from the sun: UV-A, UV-B and infrared. What do those rays actually do? Or rather more appropriately: what do sun creams do to counteract them?
One day your favourite products suddenly don’t seem to work anymore. It doesn’t feel right, your skin reacts differently. Why is that? Can you suddenly become immune to a product?
