The New Retinol & 6 Other Ingredients That’ll Transform Lockdown Skin
Jacqueline Kilikita breaks down the army of new ingredients making waves in skincare, from retinol, hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to glycogen and pycnogenol. She talks about these promising trends to various skin experts, including WY’s Dr Paris about how electrolytes are used in skincare. Paris says that, while more research is required into electrolytes, they can be “easily incorporated into existing skincare regimes to give you that extra hydrating boost” and that “they work alongside other skin-saving ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and ceramides (both found in the skin naturally) to maintain the skin barrier and water content in the skin”.

Improve ‘lockdown skin’: 7 homemade face masks using ingredients in your kitchen cupboard
With clinics such as ours closed temporarily during lockdown, taking care of your skin at home became a necessity. Sameeha Shaikh, Beauty Assistant at The Telegraph, spoke to WY’s Dr Paris for her advice on using face masks properly and avoiding ‘overmasking’. Dr Paris advised caution when having pamper sessions at home, explaining that overuse of masks, for instance, “can result in significant harm by damaging your skin’s barrier function leading to sensitivity and making you more vulnerable to inflammation and irritation. You can also strip the skin of its protective oils and commensal bacteria which are essential for maintaining the healthy function of your skin.”

This Buzzy New Skincare Acid Tackles Pigmentation & Dark Spots, Fast
Given the “countless buzzy skincare ingredients bursting onto the beauty scene” Jacqueline Kilikita turns the spotlight on to tranexamic acid as industry insiders are talking about it as one to watch.

Jacqueline Kilikita spoke to WY’s Dr Paris and two other trusted skin experts to learn what they know about tranexamic acid, including its main benefits and how to use it.

How To Shrink Your Pores For Flawless Skin Over 40
In Leah Hardy’s interview with aesthetic doctors such as WY’s Dr Parisha Acharya, they discuss a significant effect of humid weather conditions on your skin: more cavernous pores. “In warmer weather, skin around the pores may swell and dilate,” says Dr Paris. “We also produce more sebum from the pores which contributes to the larger appearance.” Dr Paris recommends high-tech HydraFacials to de-gunk pores, in some cases combining them with peels, radiofrequency and Botox for “spectacular, squeaky-clean tiny pores”.

Why your hormones could be ageing your skin – and how to spot the signs

Given people often assume flare-ups, spots, dryness, pigmentation and redness must be their fault, Rosie debunks the myth, looking into a major contributing factor: hormones.
