What exactly is Glycation? And is there something we can do against it, both…

Does your diet affect your acne? | Ask Doctor Anne

Does your diet affect your acne? Or does it not matter what you eat, because acne is hormonal? Is chocolate leading to breakouts? The answer is yes, your food choices influence your skin – but probably less than you think. There is no denying that if you suffer from acne, certain changes in the way you eat will help with the severity of breakouts, but at the same time it should be crystal clear that if you suffer from acne, what you need to do is see a…

What are the best foods and supplements for healthy skin? | Ask Doctor Anne

“You are what you eat” is a common saying, so a lot of you have come to me with the question: What are the best foods and supplements for healthy and beautiful skin? As always: It´s complex, but I will do my best to break it down for you. A word of warning first: I am NOT a fan of supplements in general, way too many of them are expensive and useless, and some of them can be downright dangerous due to a lack of regulation (despite presenting…

Can you drink your way to perfect skin? Ask Doctor Anne

Do you do New Years Resolutions? And if you do, is drinking more water among them? I bet you have heard before that drinking enough water is the key to clear and well hydrated skin.

Looking back at 2020 | Doctor Anne

I have done different kind of Recap posts on this blog over the years: Some that listed the most popular posts of a year, others that summarized what I had written in the past month. But never have I felt the need to reflect on a whole year, from a personal and professional perspective. Well, last year was different than the others, which is why I am here looking back at 2020, not in terms of most popular blog posts (there weren´t as many anyway), but in terms of how…
