Hi, babes! Emma here, and today I'd like to finally answer the age-old question: what's the appropriate amount of facial cleansing one should be doing on a daily basis?  If you're anything like me, I'm inclined to wager that washing your face is as simple and mindless for you as brushing your teeth or applying deodorant. You probably don't give it much consideration, but you undoubtedly do it every day: am I right or am I right? And look, there is absolutely no shame in that. It is a mundane task at the end of the day, no matter how good your cleanser smells. However, cleaning your face - and how you do it - is an essential aspect of your skincare routine. It does demand a little more focused attention, especially when it comes to when and how you're performing it.

Borage seed oil supplies the fatty acids the skin needs, but it also parti...

Hi, babes! Emma here, and this one's especially for you, my acne-prone babes.  Let's start with this: It's totally acceptable if you have acne or acne scars. It is a fallacy that glowing, beautiful skin must be clear and smooth. You don't need to make any changes to your skin, and we won't advise you to do so either. Having said that, it's acceptable to wish to prevent scarring, lighten discolouration, and remove acne scars. In any case, no shame. I can assist you with the latter if you're interested. It's crucial to remember that different types of acne scars require different methods to treatment because they are not all the same. Scars from acne can take many different forms. Acne blemishes, atrophic acne scars, and hypertrophic acne scars are the three main categories. A change in skin tone that can either be red markings or dark spots - the latter of which is known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation - distinguishes acne lesions. Ice pick scars, ...
