Optimize Skin Care
An effective skincare routine goes beyond just using products. By tailoring your routine to your skin type and condition, you can get the most out of your care. Factors such as the right ingredients, consistency and protection from external influences play a major role in maintaining healthy skin. Below you will find the most important principles to optimize your skincare.
Choose products based on your skin type
Each skin type has specific needs. For example, dry skin needs more nourishing ingredients, while oily skin benefits from sebum-regulating formulas. By choosing products that suit your skin type, you can prevent imbalances and skin problems.
Cleanse your skin the right way
Cleansing is the foundation of healthy skin. A gentle cleanser removes dirt, excess sebum and makeup without disrupting the skin barrier. For the evening routine, a double cleanse is recommended, with an oil or balm cleanser followed by a water-based cleanser.
Use active ingredients effectively
Active ingredients like vitamin C, retinol and hyaluronic acid can improve your skin, but they need to be used correctly. For example, retinol works best in the evening and should be built up slowly, while vitamin C provides protection against free radicals during the day.
Exfoliate in moderation
Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and stimulates cell turnover, but over-exfoliation can damage the skin barrier. Choose an exfoliant that suits your skin type, such as AHAs for dull skin or BHAs for oily, blemished skin.
Protect your skin from the sun every day
Sun protection is the key to healthy skin and prevents premature skin aging and pigment spots. Use a broad spectrum SPF of at least 30 daily, even on cloudy days.
Adjust your routine to seasonal changes
Your skin’s needs change throughout the year. In winter, a richer cream may be needed, while lighter formulas and extra SPF work better in summer. Adapt your routine to best support your skin.
