This promotes comedone formation and inflammation in acne. Join in the discussion on the effects of antioxidant skincare in...

Extreme environmental changes, such as high or low temperatures, extremes of humidity, allergens present i.e dust, pollen, pollution, irritation from externally applied cosmetics, all these can affect the skin barrier.

Dermatologist Talks: Science of BeautyEp 75: All About HyperpigmentationHyperpigmentation is often associated with aging. However, there are actually many different types of pigmentation that dermatologists encounter. While not all forms of hyperpigmentation are the same, there are a few common pathways that effective treatment options can target.
Melanocytes are the cells that produce pigment, known as melanin. These 3 ingredients work effectively and holistically to regulate melanocyte activity: tranexamic acid, kojic acid and niacinamide. In the formulation of an effective serum to treat hyperpigmentation, addition of 5% sulphonic acid has an added benefit of increasing skincare absorption by exfoliation. This enables the active ingredients to target the...

Inner beauty is a term colloquially used to describe goodness and kindness, altruistic virtues that make life on earth better and more peaceful for everyone.

In contemporary models involving the psychology of beauty, it is primarily regarded as an undefined aesthetic response. There have been diverse interpretations of beauty as an experience.

While most people are aware of its function in moisturizing the skin, what is equally important but lesser-known is that it participates in very meaningful cell-to-cell interactions, which is known as cell talk.
The key here is that not all forms of hyaluronic acid is able to perform this function of enhancing the cellular processes that are beneficial in the anti-aging process.

An individual's facial expression tells us much about what they are thinking, and we pride ourselves on reading characters. Perhaps, also with the stereotypes imprinted in our minds by filmmakers. An inherent flaw in such a concept outside of reel life is that personalities are never black and white, and motivations for behaviours can fluctuate within an individual’s lifetime depending on social contexts. However, the predominance of an emotion-driven by habitual thought processes throughout one’s lifetime, likely past...

Did you know that hyperpigmentation is commonly misunderstood? Firstly, many forms of it are not cosmetic concerns associated with aging and dermatologists do not advocate treatment of all types of hyperpigmentation. An example would be freckles, which are not harmful and should not be regarded as a cosmetic concern at all - a case for societal perspectives to change maybe? On the other hand, some forms of “hyperpigmentation” are actually not pigmentation at all, but dangerous skin cancers such as l...
