B E A U T Y – M Y T H S Just because you might feel the strong effects of a product doesn’t mean that it is more ‘exfoliating’ or that it is ‘working better’. Many skincare products – even those claiming to be beneficial for ‘sensitive skin’ – in fact contain a number of irritating, synthetic ingredients, such as ‘exfoliators’ and ‘moisturisers’, which disrupt the skin’s natural processes. Next time you buy a product, take a look at the...

ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS

It is not only heart disease, which is rare among the Eskimos, but also skin diseases and common cosmetic skin concerns. This is due to the high content of omegas-3 fatty acids (especially EPA and DHA) in their diet.

WALK TO HAPPINESS

Yesterday the sun was shining, so I left my couch and ditched the potato and went for a good bicycle ride. I cannot abide by the gym and I am not sporty at all, until I get going that is! The endorphins kick-in as soon as I exert myself and I am off. I must admit, I do love a good walk.

To slim down for summer I need to enjoy the sunshine at a quicker pace....

At Medico Beauty, we have followed our colleagues and expert’s advice and also advise our...

TURN BACK TIME

With summer coming to an abrupt close, we can all look back with regret, as the evenings and winter draws in and engulfs us. The look on my patients face when they come in to see me at this time of the year tells me that they either enjoyed themselves too much, during a summer of fun, or that they did not enjoy themselves at all! After the end of the summer, there always many who rush in to see me regretting a season of skin sins. There will be those who skimped on a chemical sun protection...
