Beauty FAQs

How do I build a simple skincare routine?

Start with three steps: a gentle cleanser, a moisturiser suited to your skin type, and sunscreen every morning. Add targeted treatments (like pimple patches or serums) only once the basics are consistent.

Are expensive beauty tools worth it?

Sometimes. Tools with a clear mechanism — like LED therapy or microcurrent — can justify their price, while many jade rollers and gimmicky gadgets do not. Our guides separate genuine function from marketing.

How often should I replace skincare products?

Most serums and moisturisers last 6–12 months after opening (check the PAO symbol). Sunscreen should be replaced yearly, and anything that smells off or separates should be discarded.
