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

If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and thought “I don’t look older… I look tired” — this is why. We’re entering a new era of aesthetics: less “freeze and fill”, more regenerate and rebuild. This guide breaks down what ageing really is under the surface, what skin regeneration means, and the smartest combination of Dermalogica professional treatments, evidence-led home serums, and modern regenerative interventions like peptides, polynucleotides and exosomes.

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.

Microneedling is a popular skin treatment that promises smoother, brighter, and more youthful skin. But the real key to success lies not just in the procedure itself, but in how you care for your skin afterward

Microneedling is everywhere right now. On TikTok. On Instagram. On clinic menus. 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 And yet, despite its popularity, microneedling is still surrounded by outdated myths, half-truths, and straight-up misinformation .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
