Understanding Eczema and its solutions

Posted by Hannah Vincent on September 20, 2023

Eczema (also known as dermatitis) is a dry skin condition. It is a highly individual condition which varies from person to person and comes in many different forms. It is not contagious so you cannot catch it from someone else. The word eczema comes from the Greek word “ekzein”, which means “to boil.” In mild cases of eczema, the skin is dry, scaly, red and itchy. In more severe cases there may be weeping, crusting and bleeding. Constant scratching causes the skin to split and bleed and also leaves it open to infection. Eczema affects people of all ages but...

The Science Behind PCA Skin's High-Performing Formulations: Omnisome Explained

Posted by Hannah Vincent on August 21, 2023

What is a delivery system? Delivery systems are how key ingredients in your products are distributed into your skin. Advanced delivery systems can dramatically change how effective your products are, keeping ingredients inside protected from damage and even minimising any side effects you may experience. Conventional delivery systems. Conventional skincare delivery systems encapsulate the ingredients and essentially open on contact with the skin.

What is Hyperpigmentation, and which type are you suffering with?

Posted by Hannah Vincent on May 22, 2023

Hyperpigmentation is the deposition of melanin (skin pigment) due to the stimulation of melanogenesis. Melanogenesis is the process by which pigment is produced and duplicated in the skin. It is the end result of the immune system triggering an inflammatory response in the skin, which then triggers the pigment producing cell known as melanocytes to protect the skin’s DNA from damage and mutation. This process is instigated by any hormonal trigger or cutaneous inflammation, such as sun exposure, heat, trauma, acne and hormonal fluctuations. There are 4 main types of pigmentation categories for pigmentation in skin due to...

How to avoid chapped lips

Posted by Hannah Vincent on February 24, 2023

Firstly lets start with the question, Why do I have chapped lips? It’s a frustration most people will go through in their life from time to time but for some dry, chapped lips is a common occurrence. The dry and rough skin of the lips can become red, sore and cracked.

Exfoliation is a process which can help support the skin health, if performed correctly.
