Re: Problem with broken capilliary veins

Hi, these are usually best treated by a laser such as pulsed dye laser (PDL). See a dermatologist with an interest in laser.

Re: Sore skin

Hi there, Try changing your skincare to use non-pore blocking (non-comedogenic), unfragranced hydrating products for sensitive skin. If creams haven't worked, your doctor could give you some tablets. if not, I would suggest a referral to a dermatologist.

Re: Do I Still Moisturise When I Have Spots on My Face?

HI, It sounds like you would benefit from seeing your doctor to get some medicated cream for your rosacea. In terms of skin care, if the skin is dry and sensitive, yes, still moisturise. use a non-comedogenic, unfragranced moisturiser.

Re: Dry, irritated skin on face

Look for non-comedogenic products which are unfragranced. We don't generally advise individual brands, but the french pharmacy products are great for this type of issue.

Re: women's skin problems

To my mind, yes. I advise that people use a dedicated daily sunscreen with moisturising properties (not a moisturiser with SPF). This is because UVA which is responsible for much of the skin ageing we see is present all year round and throughout daylight hours. From April-October and between 11-3, U...

Re: Enlarged pores

Enlarged pores are a very common problem. Make sure you are not using any pore blocking products and look for ingredients like retinol, AHAs,BHAs which can all help.

Re: milia spots

These are very common and are just small collections of a skin protein known as keratin. Some people are more prone to them than others. Avoid pore blocking creams and make up and try not to rub the skin. As for treatment, occasionally vitamin A creams can be helpful, but extraction is often the mos...

Re: Psoriasis

We don't tend to recommend individual brands. I would advise using a urea containing moisturiser or a thicker ointment with mineral oil. Chat to your pharmacist about which brands they have.

Re: Pregnancy spots

Skin can change a lot during pregnancy.

In the first instance simplify your skin care, use a non-pore blocking (non-comedogenic) cleanser twice daily and an oil-free moisturiser. Avoid heavy pore blocking make up and powder. If this doesn't help, see your GP for further help.

Re: British skin foundation

Factor 50 is a great idea all over the body!! An alternative would be to cover up the patches of vitiligo.

Sorry I don't have another solution, but as dermatologists, we see a huge amount of sun damage, so are true advocates of protecting this skin. Just don't forget your vitamin D supplements.
