Beautiful and well cared for skin
- Apply sunscreen to all parts of the body exposed to the sun every day and in all weather conditions
- Do not smoke and reduce the consumption of alcohol to a minimum
- Eat less sugar
- Drink and eat less dairy products
- Take off your make-up every evening before going to bed.
- Clean your face every morning after getting up
- Eat a healthy diet and drink plenty of water.
- Use skin care products and cosmetics according to your skin type.
- Exfoliate your skin regularly with chemical peelings
- Create a simple but effective skin care routine
- Pay attention to the ingredients
What ingredients you should avoid in cosmetics
- Alcohol in high concentrations (Ethanol, Alcohol denat., Ethyl Alcohol, Methanol, Isopropyl Alcohol, Benzyl Alcohol)
- Essential oils and plant extracts (lavender, mint, camphor, etc.)
- Synthetic and vegetable fragrances (perfume, eugenol, farnesol, hexyl cinnamal, linalool, etc.)
- Irritating surfactants (ammonium lauryl sulfates, sodium lauryl sulfates, etc.)
The superstars among the ingredients
- Antioxidants (vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, green tea, grape seed extracts, etc.)
- Skin-identical ingredients (hyaluronic acid, ceramides, lecithin, glycerin, fatty alcohols, collagen, etc.)
- Cell-communicating ingredients (niacinamide, retinol, synthetic peptides, etc.)
- Sun protection (Titanium Dioxide, Zinc Oxide, Avobenzone, Tinosorb, etc.)
Every skin is different. There are people who are highly allergic to lavender - others tolerate it without problems. Therefore, these tips are intended only as a guide. The same applies to skin care: trying is about studying.
Most skin irritations on ingredients appear after a short time - unfortunately this does not apply to alcohol. In our experience, bad alcohol (= Alcohol Denat.) in high concentrations is a problem in skin care products. It dries out the skin and gradually destroys the uppermost protective layer of the skin. Skin problems only appear after some time. Oily skin becomes increasingly oily and dry skin increasingly dry. There are many wonderful care products that do completely without alcohol - so it is not difficult to avoid those who are overloaded with alcohol. It's worth a try.
