Step 1: Facial cleansing 

The first and perhaps most important step in sustainable skincare is regular facial cleansing, which should be done every morning and evening with a cleanser suited to your skin type. In the evening, cleansing removes makeup, environmental dirt, excess sebum, and all impurities from the skin’s surface, helping to prevent the formation of blackheads and inflammation. It is also important in the morning because the skin regenerates overnight and releases sweat and sebum.

Hyaluronic acid leaves skin well hydrated and soft. With aloe vera, panthenol, and calendula. Nourishes the skin and leaves it velvety smooth.

• all skin types
• sensitive skin
• unbalanced skin
• irritated skin

How to use 

Apply to the face morning and evening with damp hands and gently massage for 1 minute. Rinse off with cool water.

Step 3: Toner – facial mist

A toner clarifies the skin after every cleanse. It should be formulated without denatured alcohol so it does not attack the skin barrier or dry the skin out. It is used either as a spray or applied with a cotton pad. This method can also remove any remaining traces of cleanser or exfoliating products from the skin’s surface. Sprays are usually more economical because they do not stay in the cotton pad and they often contain ingredients that act like serums.

Description

The Hyaluronic Ceramide Mist saturates the skin with moisture. Hyaluronic acid and ceramides help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and strengthen the skin barrier. This nourishing, rich, hydrating toner uses four different types of hyaluronic acid to protect the skin from moisture loss. Soothing rose water is rich in antioxidant polyphenols and flavonoids that revive and refresh stressed skin. The nourishing formula leaves skin velvety soft.

Step 5: Cream - face cream

Essential for a daily skincare routine, the protective and nourishing cream, also called a moisturizer. Depending on skin type, it is formulated for oily skin without added oils and focused on pure hydration, or for dry or mature skin, additionally very rich with nourishing and caring oils. It forms a protective film on the surface of the skin and can be used as a 24-hour cream day and night or as two separate products, a day and a night cream. Depending on the brand’s philosophy, the day cream is usually lighter and contains more hydration, while the night cream is richer because the skin’s regeneration mechanisms work at night and it absorbs more active ingredients. Some manufacturers prefer the opposite and skip a night cream. What works best is something everyone should find out for themselves. Day creams can also be lightly tinted and/or include SPF. Sun protection should be used in summer and winter, depending on UV intensity, at least SPF 20 up to SPF 50. The sun is the number one enemy when it comes to skin cancer and it accelerates skin aging. An integrated SPF is practical, saving time and money.

Step 7: Makeup

Anything goes if you like it. Trendy, glamorous, or natural, every woman has her preferences. During the day, a light tinted day cream or BB cream. In the evening, a richer foundation is welcome. The right shade is essential, not too dark and not too light, so the look reads naturally. Ideally, test the color along the jawline so the transition from the natural neck tone to the face blends well. For long wear, set with powder or spray.
