Your Skincare Routine Could Be Making Your Skin Worse

This week on the SheerLuxe Podcast, Charlotte hosts a special live episode in partnership with Boots Online Doctor, joined by SheerLuxe beauty contributor Alex Steinherr and Boots Online Doctor GP Dr Megha Pancholi for an honest conversation about navigating today’s skincare landscape. Together, they cut through the noise surrounding viral skincare trends, discuss why more products don’t always mean better skin, and share the expert advice that genuinely makes a difference. They also explain why holiday skin flare-ups happen, how to manage acne and hyperpigmentation, the importance of protecting your skin barrier and the anti-ageing habits that are actually worth investing in. The conversation also explores when a skin concern can be managed at home, when it’s time to seek professional advice and how Boots Online Doctor’s convenient digital service can help assess persistent skin conditions from the comfort of your own home. From the AI-powered Smart Skin Checker to online consultations with UK-registered clinicians, Charlotte, Alex and Dr Megha explain how the service works and why early intervention can make all the difference.
