Writer: Chris Beckett – No.1 Urban Aesthetics (Glitterbels HQ, Newcastle‑under‑Lyme) The uncomfortable truth about acne Let’s get this out the way: acne isn’t a hygiene issue . It’s not because you “don’t wash properly”. It’s not because you’ve “not found the right scrub”. And it’s absolutely not because you’ve done anything wrong. Acne is a medical‑grade skin condition with a biology . And the reason so many people stay stuck in a loop of breakouts is because they’re treatin

GLP‑1 medications have reshaped modern weight‑management. For many people, they have delivered something years of dieting, discipline, and willpower could not: predictable, sustained weight loss.

Fine lines and wrinkles don’t appear overnight. They develop gradually, often unnoticed, until one day your skin feels different — makeup settles into lines, your complexion looks less rested, and firmness isn’t quite what it used to be. This isn’t failure. It’s physiology.

If you have sensitive skin, you already know the rules are different. One wrong cleanser and suddenly it’s tight, red, stinging—or all three. Finding a cleanser that genuinely cleans without triggering irritation can feel like skincare roulette. Here’s the truth: sensitive skin doesn’t need more products. It needs smarter, clinically‑informed ones.

When it comes to fighting wrinkles, serums have become the holy grail in skincare routines. But with so many options out there, how do you pick the best wrinkle reduction serum that truly delivers?

Microneedling gets all the attention. The device.The needles.The redness. But here’s the truth most clinics gloss over: 👉 The serum does the heavy lifting.

In group chats between friends who are “thinking about doing something… but not too  much.” And yet, despite its popularity, microneedling is still surrounded by outdated myths, half-truths, and straight-up misinformation . Some people think it’s unbearably painful.Others think you’ll be hiding indoors for a week.Some assume results are instant — or pointless. Let’s clear the noise. This blog br

I didn’t book a facial for self-care. I didn’t even really want one. I was under a lot of stress and agreed to be a model for my wife while she attended a professional training session with Dermalogica . I wasn’t expecting anything profound. But something unexpected happened. For one quiet hour, my body stopped bracing. I didn’t fix anything. I didn’t “heal.” I didn’t gain clarity or have a breakthrough. I just felt the tension leave — and that alone was more powerful than I

The Silent Build-Up: Why Perimenopause Blindsides So Many of Us If menopause is the headline, perimenopause is the long, chaotic warm-up act nobody bought tickets for. It’s during this phase that many women find themselves googling symptoms in desperation. Perimenopause can begin in your early 40s — sometimes your late 30s — and can last up to a decade . This is when hormones fluctuate wildly, rather than simply “declining.” One month, your oestrogen is through the roof (cue
