About Skincare Education: Know Your Skin

When looking at product labels, it is easy to get overwhelmed by complex chemical names. A simple way to spot parabens is to look for prefixes like methyl, ethyl, or propyl on the back of the bottle. At Arthlings, we avoid these entirely because they mimic estrogen, preferring instead to use pure essential oils for fragrance and safety in all our handmade products.

How do you choose a new skincare product? It can be an exciting but stressful process. I believe in making informed decisions based on research and understanding your skin's needs.36
When I evaluate a skincare product, I look for three things: the active ingredient and its percentage, any potentially sensitizing ingredients, and the product's specific purpose.
I always research ingredients before recommending a product. Peer-reviewed studies on efficacy are far more reliable than biased company studies. Understanding the chemistry is essential.
I advise watching out for red flag ingredients like propylene glycol, artificial fragrances, and colors, which can cause irritation or breakouts in sensitive skin.

For those with dry skin, choosing a face wash that cleanses without stripping moisture is essential. A creamy, hydrating formula like Ethiglo helps soothe and hydrate, leaving your skin feeling soft and supple.
The foundation of any good skincare routine is the right face wash. I recommend different cleansers based on your unique needs, because what works for oily skin won't work for dry or sensitive skin.

Let's start with the basics. In my consultations, I often educate clients about their skin, and a common topic is melanin. Understanding what it is and how it functions is key to addressing concerns like hyperpigmentation and sun protection.6
Melanin is the protein that gives our skin its unique color. The amount of melanin you have is determined by genetics, which is why we see a beautiful spectrum of skin tones. It's what makes each of us unique.
Melanin is more than just color; it's your skin's natural shield. It helps protect the outer layers of your skin from UV light by absorbing radiation before it can damage the DNA in your skin cells. This is why sun protection is still important for everyone.
Sun exposure directly impacts your skin tone. People with higher sun exposure tend to produce more melanin, resulting in darker skin tones. This is your body's natural protective response to the sun's rays.

Skincare Myth: "Coconut oil is the best moisturizer for your face." Fact: While great for the body, coconut oil can clog pores and trigger breakouts on the face, especially for acne-prone skin.
Skincare Myth: "Handmade skincare products don't last long." Fact: When properly formulated, natural skincare can be just as stable and effective as commercial ones.
