Rachel Marie Walsh doesn’t use the word guru lightly – yet as quickly as it comes skincare, Mariga Sheedy is top of her game. That much better to turn to for beauty tips?
Mariga Sheedy is the founder of Wexford skin clinic Skin Essentials by Mariga, and has actually produced a range of professional and at-house skincare under the same name.
Over 25 years of beauty experience, including positions in national and EU industry bodies, have actually made her a dream skincare guru. In a business fond of quick fixes and brand-funded studies, she takes a long-term, cause-very first approach to each client’s care.
Her assessments and treatments are based on independent research by dermatology superstars like Dr Albert Kligman and Dr Peter T Pugliese. Skin Essentials by Mariga products are entirely comprised of high-quality ingredients along with well-established benefits. I’m a fan of Sheedy’s writing and v-logs on exactly what truly works, and was fairly keen to ask her exactly what doesn’t.
Easy on the exfoliants
“Over-processing is one of the most common complications I treat, and over-exfoliation in particular. It truly began as quickly as microdermabrasion became fashionable concerning ten years ago. If you have actually a solid chemical peel or a microdermabrasion session you grab a beautiful polished result initially. The impulse to sustain chasing that is understandable yet rather harmful for skin in the long term, so we try to reeducate clients. Constantly stripping of the skin’s natural defence layer (the acid mantle) will certainly weaken the health of the skin over time, resulting in premature ageing. Exfoliants need to be used along with caution. If you have actually a Vitamin A product in your house care, for example, it provides a minute quantity of cell renewal each day. This is truly all the exfoliation normal skin needs. A fruit enzyme rather gently exfoliates skin along with reduced or no tolerance for Vitamin A. I recommend a pumpkin enzyme that is rather well tolerated, like my Enzyme Exfoliator, €38.”
Fragrance isn’t skincare
“Your skin doesn’t recognise fragrance, so perfumed products will certainly constantly trigger an inflammatory defensive response. Anything that’s not native to skin will certainly trigger that response. Obviously we can’t source skincare ingredients from human sources to put in to our skin cells, so we look for bio-identical substances in the marine and plant worlds. Fragrance will certainly never be bio-identical.”
You don’t necessity a divide eye cream.
“The skin about your eyes is simply slightly thinner, it has actually the same cells along with all the same requirements as those on the rest of your face. Treat them the same and don’t forget to apply SPF. I’ve never used an eye cream or recommended one to my clients. There is nothing that a topical product, no matter the quality, can easily do for puffy eyes or dark circles. Those complications are either hereditary or medical issues. I discover it so unscrupulous that marketing need to target people That feel vulnerable concerning them.”
You shouldn’t necessity a makeup primer.
“I prefer to treat the cause of a skincare problem pretty compared to concealing the symptom. If skin is balanced, you will certainly not necessity a primer and makeup need to retain its lovely finish. Our Hydra-Collagen Serum, €64, which is rich in bio-fermented sea kelp, creates a nice makeup base, yet that’s simply a happy coincidence. Also, if you have actually dry skin issues, repeated exposure to silicones [the prevalent ingredients in most primers] can easily make them worse. Makeup will certainly start to patch.”

If you use sunbeds, we won’t treat you.
“There would certainly be no point, we’d be wasting our time and your money. Similarly, if you aren’t protecting your skin along with a broad-spectrum SPF product daily, there is little point in spending your hard earned cash on antioxidant serum.”
There is no cure-all antioxidant.
“Like water and sun protection, antioxidants are crucial for keeping skin healthy. They repair damage that has actually been done and fight damage that is being done. We have actually to use a cocktail of them because each kind works differently and there is Likewise a range of different free radicals we seek to target. Vitamin C, for example, is rather crucial for healthy and balanced cell renewal, especially the physique doesn’t make or store it, yet — simply as one can’t live on oranges alone — it requires some backup. Vitamin A is a little superhero of an ingredient, in terms of providing building blocks for skin cells. Vitamin E, green tea extract and superoxide dismutase are all rather important. I try to sustain my products’ ingredient edit fairly tight (no silicones used as cheap filler), and to go with extracts along with multiple benefits. The skin is a living, breathing organ carrying out processes and requires lots of different types of fuel to do it.”
‘Combination’ and ‘sensitive’ skin are marketing terms.
“Leaving medical complications aside, there are only three skin types you can easily be born with. Dry types have actually fewer oil glands compared to average, while oily types have actually more. Irish skin Likewise tends to be predisposed to diffused redness. If your skin is suddenly different in one area, it is an issue that requires correction pretty compared to a distinct ‘type’. Skin is supposed to be sensitive, yet what’s usually called sensitive skin is actually sensitised skin. This flares up as a result of environment or as a result of something you’ve eaten, used or done, so it’s worth taking stock of your diet regimen and skincare as quickly as this happens.”
Dry skin requires both water and oil.
“Dry is my own skin type and the predominant type I treat. It is crucial for people along with dry skin to seek professional tips on whether they lack oil, water or both. The two job in harmony to produce healthy and balanced skin. If they are from whack, your skin will certainly discover it difficult to retain moisture or protect versus environmental irritants. I’m a big fan of oil cleansers, as long as they’re free from Necessary oils, for the day-to-day care of this skin type. I use my Skin Comfort Cleanser, €25. I like dry-skin moisturisers that are rich in natural oils and contain rather few silicones. Silicones aren’t harmful yet they have actually large molecules that decrease the bio-availability of excellent anti-ageing ingredients like peptides. These actives won’t have the ability to penetrate a thick, silicone-rich cream to grab to your skin. If you use a natural oil-based moisturiser, like my Hydrating Cream along with Hyaluronic Acid, €37, they’re far a lot more effective.”
