Acne patches – Different types and how they work | Ask Doctor Anne

This blog post uses affiliate links. I did not receive any money to write it. Please read disclaimer. In my recent post about Hyaluronic Acid I talked about the benefits of moist wound healing and the role that acne patches might play in improved wound healing and acne scar prevention.

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: THIS BLOG POST USES AFFILIATE LINKS AND CONTAINS PR (GIFTED ITEMS). I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE IT. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER Just like many of you I haven’t been wearing any foundation for approximately 12 months now – no point in putting it on if you cover half of your face with a face mask anyway. But even before that I wasn’t one to wear a primer in like… ever. So you can imagine that I am probably the worst person to review the Juno & Co Miracle…

Glycation – What is it and how does it affect the skin? | Ask Doctor Anne

Hanging jowls, bulldog cheeks – there are many names for a phenomenon most of us experience with age. Sagging skin – when everything that was ones perky decides it is time to follow gravity and move downwards. As always in skincare the reasons for that happening are complex, but today I want to solely focus on one of them – the infamous “Sugar Sag” caused by a process called Glycation. But why “Sugar Sag”?

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…
