What's New in Beauty 2024
Published 03/04/2024
Consumers nowadays are well informed, educated and in high demand. When they are uncertain or indecisive about

The concept of Active Beauty
Published 03/02/2021
Until recently my client’s concerns were about active ingredients in skin creams, serums, and lotions. Today their interest is in active beauty and quote: "how can this be good for my skin?" Active beauty is an advanced concept in skin science. The elucidation of new mechanisms in the ageing process and discovery of natural peptides, epigenetics, proteomics, in vitro cell techniques and other substances that will beneficially modify the ageing processes in the skin, has led to a greater sophistication in anti-ageing skin care concepts and products. The consumer interest has changed from wrinkling serums and moisturizing creams to more active formulations that have an effect beyond the top layer of the skin. With an increasing consumer trend towards natural products, what’s more natural than harnessing the bacteria on your skin?Read More

I am not surprised that recently my customers are extremely concerned about their facial cleanser or face wash. In my practice they usually want to change their cleanser in winter.

Skincare in a World of Uncertainty©

As the trend grows towards minimally invasive procedures 2020 is shaping up to be the year of cosmeceuticals due to the rising preference for physician-dispensed products over non-prescription and OTC products and a flock of new launches from popular brands as well as unique brands entering this expanding category.

Chemical Peels, pushing the limits in chemical peeling for skin rejuvenation
Posted May 3rd, 2019
Why did I decide to write this blog? Why I think it will help not just the consumer but also medical and cosmetic practitioners who opt to #chemicalpeeling versus another resurfacing modality available in the marketplace. Chemical peels are my preferred method of #facialrejuvenation and corrective procedures such as removal of #acnescars #removeDarkSpots, pigmentation, seborrheic keratosis, chemical peels for hypertrophic scars or #keloids since 1979. The difference between then and nowadays is that my peeling technique is more perfecting, and the peeling solutions are much improved regarding composition, potency and carrier or delivery system.

Should quality synthetic ingredients matter more than natural ingredients?
Posted on March 7/ 2019/ at 1:15 PM
Just because a skin care product is advertised with a beautiful plant or garden as a back fond does not mean a moisturizer or a facial serum is free of toxic material. In fact, natural ingredients can generate unexpected toxicity despite the good intention of the producer. In many cases the whole plant extract may be anti-inflammatory but some of its components when isolated can cause allergic reactions. Read More
