Personalised skincare: all hype and no substance?

 A few months ago, my answer would have been : Yes. You’ve probably been hearing about personalised skincare as a big trend in beauty. But it never really delivered until now. Why? Two main reasons for me: It’s really hard to make a truly personalised product at an industrial scale. You have to be able to plan an infinite combination of possible ingredients, register them, manufacture them and keep them nice and stable for years, all of that for a couple of units. The best you can have is a few combinations, or the marketing illusion of tailoring. The harsh cold reality is: unless it’s m ..read more

The microbiome of babies

Bacteria are really a friend for life. The first three years of your life will be crucial for shaping your microbiome, and hence your health for the rest of your life. So, let’s look a bit at the baby microbiome, the skin pH and why every kid has eczema these days. You get a microbiome in the first second of your life. Literally. The baby will travel through its mother vagina, covering itself in a lot of vaginal bacteria. Gross, but kinda cool. So, a newborn gets delivered into the world with a first microbiome, which is mainly lactic acid bacteria (like Lactobacillus). …And we love lactobacil ..read more

…And what does that mean for your skin? Thank you, that’s such a good question. Yes it does, and we can help! Your microbiome is with you from your first minute into the world. You inherit it from your mother and then you start to make it your own. Your gut and your skin get new cool bacteria by eating, breathing, touching people and things, and exploring the world in general. It starts to be a bit more stable when you reach 3. After some time, your microbiome starts to be a bit… older. Your bacteria change and your body does, and it has consequences:  Your hormones are not the same, and ..read more

Can my diet influence my skin?

20 years ago, when I was learning pharmacy at university, my teachers were quite adamant: “What you eat doesn’t have any influence on your skin. Eat the “saucisson”, eat the chocolate, it’s all fine”. And that’s something you’ll still hear a lot from some professional. When I started to hear about the possible link between the microbes in your gut and the health of your skin, the first thing I did was wait. Wait for data, proof and mechanism of action….and we got it. So yes, science changes, and now your can say it loud : your skin health can be influenced in good or in bad by your gut microbi ..read more

Is skincare better served cold? Our opinion on skincare fridges!
Gallinée Skin Care
by nathalie.demol
2y ago
They’re so cute! And pink! And taking half the space on your counter. So, should you invest in a beauty fridge?   Honestly, I don’t really see the point of it. Sometimes the beauty industry is more about creating new needs than solving current problems. I would say this is one of these times. Will a skincare fridge make your skincare more efficient?   Not really, when we formulate skincare products we take in account how stable the actives are at room temperature, so unless you live in a country where it’s going to be 40 degrees indoor, it won’t really help. Will it make your s ..read more

5 tips to treat sensitive skin

At Gallinée we say we’re designed for sensitive skin. What do we mean exactly, and how can we help? First thing first, what is sensitive skin?   It’s not really a condition, but it’s the sensation that your skin is itchy, red, burning and prone to inflammation.   What are the causes of sensitive skin?   An impaired skin barrier that don’t protect you as it should, and an impoverished microbiome that cannot regulate inflammation as much as usual. Add to that stress and pollution. So mostly, modern life. Are you stuck with sensitive skin forever?   The good news is that ..read more
