What Is Ferulic Acid – Why It’s A Must-Have In Your Skincare Arsenal
So what is ferulic acid and why is it so popular in the world of skincare? You’ve probably come across it numerous times already especially if you’re an avid user of vitamin C serums although you will find it in more products than just that but what exactly is it and what can it do in terms of anti-aging and keeping our skin protected from damage. If you’re anything like me then you probably want to know the whys, whats, and wheres of everything especially when it comes to skincare and anything that you’re going to be applying frequently to your face. I know I personally don’t like adding anything…

U Skin Vitamin C Serum – A Cheap Serum That Actually Works
The U Skin vitamin C serum is a serum that I really wanted to review for a couple of reasons. The first being its extremely reasonable price and the second being its popularity (more so in Europe) and its high review ratings. There are actually a whole bunch of these reasonably priced serums and this one came up amongst some of the favourites. This is the first one of many that I wanted to try to see how they compared to the higher priced branded vitamin C serums and really to see if any of them were good enough to even replace them. I should mention before I continue that…

The Benefits Of Pycnogenol For Skin – The Anti-Aging Supplement
The benefits of Pycnogenol for skin are actually quite substantial to the point where I’m surprised that I hadn’t heard of this product sooner. Pycnogenol is a dietary supplement that is used to help a whole host of health needs but as a side effect, it was discovered that it also had some pretty powerful anti-aging qualities too. For the most part, Pycnogenol (pronounced “pick-nodge-en-all” in case you’re trying to say it) is sold for its health benefits but more and more people are now starting to talk about its skin benefits particularly its ability to reduce the signs of aging and improve overall skin condition. How I Came Across…

Best Hyaluronic Acid Products For Skin
If you’re looking for the best hyaluronic acid products to give your skin that extra boost in moisture then take a look at some of the following popular choices. Hyaluronic acid is an excellent ingredient when it comes to anti-aging especially with its ability to retain high levels of moisture so it’s no wonder that it’s become a popular serum choice all on its own. Finding a good one, however, is not necessarily as easy as you may think as I mentioned before in this post about the benefits of hyaluronic acid and with so many out there to choose from the task becomes even more of a challenge. But…

Superfoods For Skin – Why I Can’t Get Enough Of Bioglan Supergreens
There are tons of superfoods for skin out there but I came across a product that I just had to write about and that’s Bioglan Superfoods – Supergreens. Now, this product is not exactly sold for its skincare benefits but with so many vitamins and minerals in it, it was bound to have an effect on skin condition. It’s not just topically applied products that are important when it comes to good skin care, our intake (or lack thereof) of important skin benefiting vitamins and minerals can have an enormous effect on the condition and appearance of our skin. An Accidental Discovery This was actually a completely accidental discovery that…

How To Get Rid of Wrinkles Above The Lip
If you have them then you’re probably trying to figure out how to get of wrinkles above the lip. Like all wrinkles, they can dramatically alter your appearance and add years to your face but those upper lip lines in particular tend to be even more unsightly than most. Unfortunately, there’s no painless magic wand that can make them disappear instantaneously but there are some relatively simple and inexpensive ways to help improve their appearance and some other pricier options for those who don’t mind a bit of pain or discomfort and a little bit of healing time. What Causes Them There are many different things that can cause lines…

Best Inexpensive Vitamin C Serum
You don’t always have to pay a fortune for good skin care products and I thought it would be a good idea to look into the whole inexpensive range starting with the best inexpensive vitamin C serum. I’ve already written about the top running vitamin c serums but the top brands seem to steal all of the spotlight and I wondered if there were any cheaper versions that could compete or at the very least come close to them. I spent a lot of time looking into them and believe me, there’s a never-ending list of them to get through but there were really only two that stood out against…

Constant Vertigo/Dizziness – How Labyrinthitis Stopped Me In My Tracks
Constant vertigo or dizziness is a horrible thing to experience and unfortunately for me, it’s something that I’ve been living with since the beginning of March last year. Now, this might seem like an unusual thing to write about on a skincare website but it’s such a horrific experience that I really felt the need to share it. This is also the first time I’ve been able to write a post since getting this so it made sense that this should be the subject even if it is completely off topic especially if it can help anyone else going through the same thing. I remember the exact day it started…

What is Micellar Cleansing Water and Does it Work?
So, what is micellar cleansing water and is it something worth adding to your skincare routine? Some time ago I wrote about the different types of facial cleansers and which ones were more suitable for each skin type and this is when micellar cleansing waters caught my attention. I’ve always been an avid user of cleansing milks but being a heavy makeup wearer, I couldn’t help but wonder if micellar cleansers would be more effective. They’re said to be a popular choice for makeup artist because not only are they gentle on skin but they’re also very effective at quickly and easily removing makeup in between applications. For me, this…

Retinol and Waxing – Is It a Good or Bad Idea?
When I first started using retinol, I faced a bit of a conundrum which was the combination of retinol and waxing. I wondered if it would be ok to continue with facial waxing whilst using retinol and if not, what else could I do instead to remove unwanted facial hair? To be honest, up until that first waxing visit, I hadn’t given it a second thought and only after booking my usual six weekly appointment did it occur to me that waxing could be problematic to my now more delicate skin. So I did what I always do and went on a research mission only to discover that sure enough…
