Skin problems

Targeted skin care should be an integral part of the daily beauty routine. However, for a clear and even complexion and to maintain the skin’s important protective functions, it is not the quantity but the quality of the care that is decisive.

Tailored to the skin type.

What is good for one person can cause unpleasant reactions in another. Anyone who wants to effectively protect their skin from harmful external influences should always ensure that the care products they choose are suitable for their individual skin type. Dry, brittle skin requires different care than oily skin that is prone to blackheads and pimples.

Skin cleansing. Less is often more.

Skin cleansing plays a decisive role in the daily care routine. The active ingredients in creams and lotions can only develop their full effect if sweat, dirt, sebum, and small scales have been removed without leaving any residue. Here, too, it is important to match the products to the respective skin type. In general, one should use pH-neutral washing lotions and syndets that do not contain fragrances or alcohol—such ingredients can unnecessarily irritate or dry out the skin. Lukewarm water is ideal for cleaning the face and body. Hot water strips the skin of moisture, while sensitive skin can react poorly to water that is too cold.

Preventing skin aging.

As early as age 25, the skin begins to lose elasticity and resilience; it becomes increasingly dry, and the first fine lines form. Now it is particularly important to provide the skin with moisture and lipids daily. Although natural aging processes cannot be stopped, they can at least be slowed down with efficient care. A healthy lifestyle with sufficient sleep, regular exercise in the fresh air, and a balanced diet can also contribute to this. To protect against dangerous UV radiation, the consistent use of a sunscreen with a high sun protection factor is recommended.
