85 m. ago Sali Hughes on beauty: forget harsh treatments – to get rid of adult acne, show your skin some love

It’s time to unlearn many of the traditional nuclear options for treating persistent spots, and choose gentle, hydrating skincare insteadForget almost everything you believe about treating acne. Unlearn the routine of yore, where pimples were manhandled, stripped back with grainy scrubs and astringents, starved of all moisture, then nuked with alcohol or a peroxide paste that caused instant smarting and wincing.Experts are now tackling acne with kid gloves. According to dermatologist Justine Hextall: “We are much more aware of the subtle differences in a blemish-prone skin. Not every presentation is an oily teenager with bulletproof skin that can tolerate alcohol-based washes alongside benzoyl peroxide, exfoliating acids and scrubs. For many, this skincare approach is the opposite of what is needed, and will be deleterious to skin.” Continue reading...

2 h. ago The Decadence by Leon Craig review – queer haunted house tale fails to chill

Privileged university friends retreat to the countryside, in a gothic novel mostly made up of vibesIn many ways I am the ideal reader for this queer haunted house novel from the author of the 2022 short-story collection Parallel Hells. As a teenager I was a passionate fan of gothic literature; I love a haunted house novel, and believe The Little Stranger, Sarah Waters’s masterpiece of the genre, is yet to be bettered. It’s an admiration that Leon Craig shares. She also cites Donna Tartt’s The Secret History as an influence, which gives some clue to the setup that greets the reader in The Decadence. Namely, privileged university friends retreat to a haunted country house – inherited, naturally, by one of the group – to indulge in an array of illegal substances and sexual configurations. Bring it on, I thought.But though I tried very much to care about them, the twists and turns in the characters’ relationships did not make much of an impre...
