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…

Is it tone-deaf to do a haul in the current pandemic situation? This is one of the questions I asked myself before I sat down to write this blog post. I know many people struggle right now to make ends meet, and buying new stuff is not within their reach. On the other hand skincare as self care has become very important in our attempts to have…

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. But is that really true? Can you really drink your way to perfect skin? Short answer: No. Drinking more water will make you pee more, and that’s about it. Why that is and if there is an exception to the rule? Let´s see! Disclaimer I am talking about people with normal and…

My best skin care products of 2020 | Doctor Anne

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: THIS BLOG POST CONTAINS GIFTED ITEMS (PR) AND USES AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE IT. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER. Last year at roughly the same time I shared with you my skincare heroes, the products I would immediately repurchase should, by some horrible accident, all my stash vanish overnight. You can read the original blog post here. Now that 2020 is over, and I guess it is safe to say no one is sorry about that, it is time to look back and see…

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: THIS BLOG POST CONTAINS GIFTED ITEMS (PR) AND USES AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE IT. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER. I have a winter coat, winter bedding, winter boots and of course a winter sunscreen! I mean, you wouldn’t think of wearing your sandals out in the snow either. This post is not going to be about the question whether or not you need a sunscreen in winter – my answer is yes and that should not surprise anyone that has been following my blog any amount…

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…

My skincare routine to fight hyperpigmentation | Doctor Anne

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: THIS BLOG POST CONTAINS GIFTED ITEMS (PR) AND USES AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE IT. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER. I admit this blogpost is much later than I had planned – it was supposed to be uploaded weeks ago, because it is actually the skincare routine I fall back on in autumn, not the one I have for winter. Now life rarely goes as planned and as the recent lack of activity here has shown my day job has taken over again – no thanks to…

Trying custom skincare – My Function of Beauty Review | AD | Doctor Anne

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: THIS IS A SPONSORED BLOG POST, WHICH MEANS I RECEIVED MONEY TO WRITE IT. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER. No matter if it is YouTube or Instagram, the main request I have to decline is surely: Can you tell me specifically which products to buy to build a skincare routine! I can´t – there are so many products out there and everyone has specific needs, preferences and expectations, it would be impossible for me to build you a customized skincare routine. BUT: There are others that have the…

Purito Centella Unscented Toner Review – of tigers and cougars | Doctor Anne

You can´t really venture into K-Beauty without hearing about Centella Asiatica. Centella Asiatica, also known as Gotu Kola, has become famous for healing and soothing the skin, as legend has it that tigers roll in the plant to help heal their scratches. Now I am no tiger – not even a cougar – but I do have some healing to do, both because of my…
