#LetsGoBareChallenge: Ask Dr. Vivian

 

TW Magazine in partnership with Derma Care, Studio 54 and Samsung is currently running the #LetsGoBareChallege, where we are challenging women to post makeup free pictures on Instagram.

One of our aims is to promote healthy skin, and to do that, we will be running the ASK DR VIVIAN column on Friday for the next four weeks. In this column, Dr Vivian Oputa, renowned dermatologist and medical director of DermaCare Medical Ltd will answer the many questions our readers have on skin issues.

To kick of the series we asked Dr Vivian this question: What are five benefits of going bare (without makeup)?

Here is what she had to say.

These are the benefits of a Makeup Detox.

1. A reduction in breakouts caused by clogged pores and the use of unsanitary implements like makeup brushes.

2. Wearing too much make up exposes skin to loads of chemicals and toxins which may lead to serious health problems.

3. Reduction In pore size as foundation, blush, bronzer and powder particles clog and enlarge pores.

4. Reduced eye infections caused by eye makeup like shadow, eye liner and mascara which may lead to conjunctivitis and allergic reactions to chemicals

5. Improved texture tone hydration and vibrancy. Going to bed with make up affects cell renewal causing the build up of dead skin leading to Dull Lack Lustre Skin

We hope you learnt a lot from Dr Vivian’s answers.

Next week, we will be treating SKIN LIGHTENING so if you have any questions concerning this issue, send them to elizabethenajeroh@twmagazine.net.

We look forward to hearing from you!!!!
