It seems everyone has a sure-win beauty tip to share but not everyone is worth passing on. We look into these ‘popular beauty tips’ that you should avoid at all costs for better, healthier skin.
It’s easy to mistake beauty myths as advice especially when they’ve been passed down from one generation to the next. Many of these aren’t to be trusted and we’re here to debunk the most common ones we know.
No thanks to the plethora of skincare brands and products available in this day and age, it’s no wonder men do and will get lost for choice. In fact most guy friends I know are happy to wash as their face with the same soap they’re using for their body and / or hair. And believe it or not, this is more the norm than not for men!
Good, healthy skin is what we all aspire to have no matter our age. We check in with the doctors of SW1 Clinic to find out how we can be sure to do the best we can for our skin to get better skin.
When we think of youthful skin, we think of collagen. An abundant form of protein found in the body, collagen is responsible for the state of our skin health. Collagen helps our skin to be soft, smooth, firm and moist. Collagen also has the ability to renew skin cells and encourage them to repair themselves.
Pigmentation also known as hyperpigmentation is a skin condition that causes uneven skin tone and colour by way of dark patches and spots. These dark patches are a result of excess melanin production, the pigment responsible for skin colour.
While we may be doing our best at home to stick to a skincare routine that works for your skin, our skin unfortunately spends most of its time outdoors and is exposed to UV damage and pollution which not only clogs your pores, they can also cause inflammation and speed up the ageing process. Basically everything we don’t need in our lives and in our skin.
When it comes to keeping skin hydrated, it’s a common misconception that you can just rely on a slew of moisturisers to get the job done. Hydration requires you to add water to your skin while moisturizing it means you use ingredients that will help to lock the water in your skin. Both hydration and moisturization work well in pairs and bearing this in mind will be doubly beneficial for your skin to ensure that the water added to your skin also stays in it for improved texture and extended health.
When they say men are from Mars and women are from Venus, this couldn’t be more true when it comes to skincare. Most women would have their skincare routine down pat, be it a simple 3-step routine or a complex Korean-inspired 20-step skincare routine.
