Making a Collagen Comeback
"But you look just perfect" are words I hear from friends, clients, family BUT when I look at photos (note: not selfies - in a strange way, selfies tend to make you look better even without filters!), I know.

Dull, Pigmented OR Radiant, Clear Skin – What skin do you want?
Most will desire the latter of course – after all, our brain is wired to see “beauty” in a certain way. Clear, radiant glass skin in an almost ethereal or even tanned way is something we naturally gravitate towards.So let’s cover the bases first and understand what Pigmentation is and how it formed.Pigment or melanin is formed deep in the basal layer of skin (in cells known as melanocytes). Over time, the melanin formed is transported upwards and get deposited in cells known as keratinocytes at the skin surface and present visually as the undesirable pigment we see on the...
