So hyaluronic acid may not be everything we’ve been told. Thank goodness for actual beauty writers
Ditto- and the conspiracy theorist in me is wondering why it's been taken downoff to read the Harper’s piece
Oh dear I can’t find the piece - the link has gone and google not helping.
Please can someone summarise? What *should* I be putting on my old dehydrated face?
Yes! This happened to me too. I used to suck up all the skin are advice and do more and more steps but got awful cystic acne on my jaw so did more and more to deal with it. Anyway for an unrelated reason I lost complete interest in my appearance, had a prolonged period in bed and did the bare minimum skinwise and my skin completely righted itself and looked far far better. I now take a minimalist gentle approach with no harsh steps (including exfoliation) and it really has paid off.Whisper it, but I find the more i leave my skin alone, the better it looks. Definitely the less exfoliation (including with flannels) the better. Years ago, at the height of the microdermabrasion fad I used to go to Linda Meredith which was where all the slebs went for their facials. All the facialists there advised against regular exfoliation, saying the skin looks great initially but then goes 'blargh' (direct quote). They couldn't explain why, they just knew that was the result. I stopped exfoliating/stripping the skin, and what do you know, spots, rosacea etc all cleared up.
The IG description is probably a good a summary as any. I’m regretting not screengrabbing chunks of the article. Hopefully it’s back up soon. But who knows, given the clout of major advertisers...Please could someone who was able to read the article before it disappeared give a brief outline of what it said about HA?
That is quite shocking isn't it? That people have been encouraged to put something potentially detrimental on their faces?The IG description is probably a good a summary as any.

Thank you- I've now Followed the author on IG and hope the link will be restored. Very interesting and I will certainly be wary of HA now (only recently bought several from Balance MeThe IG description is probably a good a summary as any.

There was a period years ago when I was into experimenting with various carrier oils (not essential oils, I'm sensitive to them), and jojoba was described as being the closest to human sebum or something like that, it's actually a wax, but liquid, and if I remember correctly it was safe for oily skin. But all of the texts I read emphasised that it is best used combined with another oil or there is a possibility it will dry you out eventually. I have no idea if this is actually the case. And it is true, if you put oil on damp skin you have the basic components of a cream (water and oil), but I wouldn't recommend doing this for an extended period of time.I always cleanse and exfoliate (maximum once a week) but I might do a little experiment for a few weeks where I stripe it right back and only cleanse and use jojoba and water . See what happens.
Same. In my case, could just be luck though - that and suffering through hideous acne up until my late twenties - wouldn't wish that on anyone.Whisper it, but I find the more i leave my skin alone, the better it looks.
