BEAUTY MYTHS: MOISTURISER

In our many years of clinical practice – we first started in the aesthetics bizz back in 1989 – I have met hundreds of patients suffering from dry and sensitive skin. We fully understand, therefore, the frustration caused by its many symptoms. To make things worse, there is a lack of effective treatment options available. Many people fall into a vicious cycle of applying more moisturizer to self-treat their problem … without realising that it is the very substance which contributed to...

V I T A M I N – B

Liquid B vitamins for example are essential for vegetarians or those who eat very little meat, since dietary sources of vitamin B12 are mostly foods of animal origin. The B’s promote energy, but crucially, they also maintain the nervous system, improve immune function and buffer the effects of stress..

BLOOD PRESSURE & VIT C

The most likely cause of death for many of us will not be cancer. Under reported, but still very relevant, many of us have a far greater risk of getting a blood clot, so a few of my posts over the coming weeks will reveal the details that we all need to know. An article published online on July 18, 2011 in the journal Hypertension makes for interesting reading, because it reveals an association between increased levels of Vitamin C and a reduced risk of high blood pressure. Researchers here in...

BEAUTY MYTHS: HIGH STREET PRODUCTS

B E A U T Y – M Y T H S Just because you might feel the strong effects of a product doesn’t mean that it is more ‘exfoliating’ or that it is ‘working better’. Many skincare products – even those claiming to be beneficial for ‘sensitive skin’ – in fact contain a number of irritating, synthetic ingredients, such as ‘exfoliators’ and ‘moisturisers’, which disrupt the skin’s natural processes.
