BEAUTY ROUTINE TIPS

Skin color does not depend on the number of melanocytes, but on how much melanin they produce and what type it is. How it forms, why we tan, how spots develop, and where a cosmetic product can make a difference.

Yellowish scales, redness, and itching on the scalp, often extending to the eyebrows and sides of the nose. What is seborrheic dermatitis, how can it be distinguished from dandruff and psoriasis, and what can cosmetics do alongside medical treatment?

The neck and décolleté age before the face: thinner skin, less sebum, constant movement. Above all, they are the areas that receive the least moisturizer and sun protection of the entire body.

Shampoo cleanses the scalp, not the lengths. How to read a formula, what’s different about gentle, 2-in-1, sebum-balancing, and sulfate-free shampoos, and how to figure out which one is right for you.

Wrinkles around the mouth, a dull complexion, less elastic skin: how smoking ages the face, why it compounds the effects of the sun, what we know about e-cigarettes, and what can be recovered by quitting.

Baking soda is alkaline, while the surface of the skin is acidic. That’s why using it as a scrub or mask for blackheads does more harm than good, and what to use instead to exfoliate your face.

Cleansing, hydration, photoprotection, targeted actives, cosmetic correction: skincare follows a precise hierarchy. Each step supports the one above it, and skipping the basics cannot be made up for by spending more.
