My updated evening skincare routine for summer | 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 recently read an article online that talked about the different personality traits those posses that prefer to shower in the evening opposed to those that prefer to shower in the morning. It was something along the lines of „reflective and romantic“ versus „seize the day“ – I admit it was light reading, not a scientific paper, but I figured where I would fit, be-cause right now,…

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: THIS BLOG POST CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS AND PR-SAMPLES (GIFTED ITEMS). I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE IT. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER.

What is the right order to apply your skincare products in? | Ask Doctor Anne

One of the more frequent questions I get asked is: What is the correct order to apply my skincare products in? And the answer is an absolutely dissatisfying: „That depends!“ Just like it is in many other areas of skincare, there is not much research to help answer the question.     It would be hard to design a study around that topic anyway. I mean, what does „right“ mean here? Most efficient? Least harmful? Or most pleasant experience? All three could be right for you. As always in skin…

My updated evening skincare routine with Tretinoin – Spring 2020 | Doctor Anne

ADVERTISEMENT INFO: THIS BLOG POST CONTAINS PR-SAMPLES (GIFTED ITEMS) AND AFFILIATE LINKS. I RECEIVED NO MONEY TO WRITE IT. PLEASE READ DISCLAIMER. My evening skincare routine used to be when I really took my time. A multi-layer routine, bi weekly face masks, different actives… Well, that has changed.     Not because I don´t enjoy that anymore, no, but because I am on Tretinoin, and several upset reactions from my skin later I have accepted that in this case, less really is more. And because Tretinoin made such a difference…

It might be hard to tell from inside, but spring has arrived and the weather is finally starting to warm up around here, and that was desperately needed.

Morning skincare routine for glowing skin with Tretinoin

Advertisement info: This blog post contains PR-Samples (gifted items) and affiliate links. I received no money to write it. Please read disclaimer. I know it seems vain, but it is not the redness or the irritation with stinging skin that annoys me the most when starting prescription retinoids. No, it is the flakiness that tends to appear and that makes every bit of foundation look awful.     But while there is nothing you can do to completely get rid of it, through weeks of trial and error I finally…
