Skincare Blog: Tips for effective skin care

Just as you adapt your clothing to the current weather, you need to question your main care routine every few months. Especially at the beginning of spring, it is worth putting the rich creams aside for the time being and using light care. Don’t forget UV protection!

To protect ourselves and those around us, we wash and disinfect our hands thoroughly several times a day. But this puts our skin through a severe test, because alcohol-based disinfectants and soaps with a high pH value can attack the skin's natural protective acid mantle and thus cause lasting damage to the skin barrier. Dry and cracked areas, skin rashes or even inflammation, known as skin eczema, can result.

UV radiation, heat and sea and chlorine water can dry out the skin and lead to irregularities in the complexion. The right care is therefore even more important to soothe the skin, provide it with intensive moisture and make it appear fresher and more radiant. The right skin care is a must, even on a summer vacation!

It therefore causes damage to the skin, which leads to premature aging, reduced skin elasticity and wrinkles. Exposure to blue light at night can also affect our sleep and therefore cause dark circles under the eyes.

Young and intact skin is particularly responsive. It constantly reacts to internal and external influences. Skin cells continually produce structural components (such as collagen or lipids) of the skin to meet their needs. The skin is a highly developed biological system of constant signals and reactions.
