Emma's World

Hi, babes! Emma here, and let's keep it short and sweet today as we discuss the best skincare pairings!  When it comes to creating the ideal skincare routine, some science is involved... Did you know that there are many pairs of skincare compounds that may be combined, matched, and layered without triggering adverse reactions?  While there are some combos that should never be considered, some pairs just work better together, like fine wine and cheese.  Scroll on down to meet the skincare duos that work best together. HYALURONIC ACID + AHAS/BHAS Hyaluronic acid is one of the few substances that is extremely gentle and effective on all skin types, despite having a frightening-sounding name. Hyaluronic acid is an effective humectant that attracts moisture into the skin and locks it in. Because AHAs and BHAs (such as glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acids) exfoliate the skin and open up pores, they make space for moisture. SPF + VITAMIN C In order to strengthen the skin's defe...

 Hi, babes!  Emma here, and today we'll be discussing antioxidants! Join me for a moment as we unpack.  So, what are antioxidants, anyway? , you might be wondering.  Antioxidants are perhaps the most universally loved group of compounds by skin experts, outside of sunscreen.

While they all have the same purpose of preserving your skin from oxidative stress, combining antioxidants with additional compounds can be beneficial to your skin. It's all about figuring out which one is right for your skin type and issues. Okay, ...

Serums are silky, light oils that give a concentrated dose of active substances while also locking in moisture. The oil-base isn't overpowering, but it allows the components to permeate the skin's surface, assuring efficacy while also protecting your skin from the effects of daily life.  And what are they for? Everyone's skin is unique, which is why it's so much fun to use a product that's personalised to your specific needs. Acne a problem for you? For that, there is a serum. Do you have dehydrated skin that needs to be hydrated? There's even a serum for that. Using a strong serum before your moisturiser will help you treat your skin the way it was meant to be treated, from fine wrinkles to the most sensitive skin types. Whether you're a seasoned serum user or a novice, here are some serums you could benefit from th...
