Skin is the largest organ in your body. And in order to take proper care of it, it’s important to understand how it works, what it needs, and what can go wrong with it.
This sub-category of articles looks closely into different skin-related topics: from cellulite and acne to dermatitis and stretch marks.
We believe that skincare is so much more than improving the outer appearance of your skin. It’s about taking care of its needs and inner health! For that reason, the information we provide is strongly based on objective and unbiased scientific sources to help you look at skincare from a different, more precise angle.
Because healthy skin is beautiful.
