Do you have a question for a dermatologist?

Hi beauties!

We’ve got an amazing opportunity to speak to Dr Katherine Armour – a Melbourne based medical and cosmetic dermatologist – and so I wanted to see if any of you had any questions you’d like to ask her?

It’s always good to get an expert opinion when it comes to the skin!

She’s very clued up on everything, but especially anything around anti-ageing, sun damage, pigmentation, psoriasis and dermatitis.

Just post any questions you have here and we’ll collect some answers for you : )

    Yes, I would like to see a dermatologist.

    Thank you to everyone who submitted questions! These are all great and I’m sending off to Dr Katherine now.

    Does facial massage really help longterm for anti-ageing purposes? Or is that a myth and trend.

    Are LED lights any good really for our skin? Is there long term benefits? Are there any danger to the skin itself?

    • 2 yrs, 8 mths ago

      Yes! This!

      There is lots of marketing about “”blue light”” LED masks “”good for”” acne prone skin, “”red light”” for anti-ageing “”collagen production stimulation””…etc.
      Then there is a lot of marketing for lotions and potions and creams and serums to “”block off blue light”” that is “”damaging”” to the skin. Soooo…what is going on. I know beauty industry is all about the money and profit (full of random claims), but this is just too much… going too far? [disclaimer, I love great skincare and beauty products]

    Would love guidance on what kind of products could help my blemishes, acne scarring and enlarged pores?

  • 2 yrs, 8 mths ago

    I’d like to know the best skincare ingredients for skin that is drying out due to menopause & beyond.

    And adding to the question posed by yohanna , what affect, if any, does the light from my computer screen have on my skin?

    • 2 yrs, 8 mths ago

      Yes! That! Want to know about the phantom “”blue light””, all the science. And the rest of it.

      Manufacturers of blue LED masks claim that blue light is good for the skin. Manufacturers of skincare/makeup light blocking products (UV and blue light) claim that blue light is damaging to our skin.

        Good question -I would also like the answer to this -Thanks

    I’m nearly 50 and want to use more products with anti ageing ingredients and also ones to assist with pigmentation. What would you recommend? Also can you recommend any products for under eye bags.

  • 2 yrs, 8 mths ago

    First question would be about what skincare ingredients to avoid if you have sensitive skin. Second question is what is best for sensitive skin, a physical or chemical sunscreen? Third question is do skin care and makeup ingredients get absorbed via the skin into the bloodstream? Fourth question is are naturally derived skin care/makeup ingredients really better for your skin especially sensitive skin?

    One unanswered question, I never seem to get a straight yes or no. Have seen recommendations to wear sunscreen indoors. Does this mean that indirect sunlight (not direct window sun baking) can affect pigmentation to get worse? Especially people with melasma? Can indirect (if in a good shade or not under direct window sunlight) sunlight really negatively effect the skin? Is there any actual research on this? Thank you! xx
