How do I Properly Care for My Skin? By Beauty Expert
                     
Brush instead of peeling 
Perhaps you already know our post on dry brushing the body to strengthen 
the immune system. With a special face brush, you can also stimulate the 
delicate skin on your face and at the same time remove dead skin cells. 
The skin is better supplied with blood and looks noticeably fresher and softer. 
Just give it a try - this skincare routine takes no more than a few minutes and 
brings back to your skin what synthetic care products can't give it.
How important is cleansing for 
beautiful skin?
Daily cleaning is the basis of good skin. "Especially when using make-up and 
sun protection, it is extremely important to wash your face thoroughly in the 
evening. Otherwise, there is a risk of stains on the skin," says the skincare 
expert.
According to a beauty expert, mild cream or gel cleansers are well suited for 
all skin types - ideally in combination with a soft washcloth or a very gentle 
cleaning brush. 
Which peeling suits my skin type?
Everyone, really everyone benefits from using peeling products with 
AHA or BHA acids. Most of them are in toners, i.e. face lotions. Don't 
let the word "acid" fool you. The ingredients in AHA and BHA products 
are gentler on your skin than the granules in mechanical peels.
This is how the liquid peelings work: Both acids have an exfoliating 
effect, so they ensure that dead skin cells are removed more quickly, 
making the skin more radiant. Nevertheless, there are crucial 
differences:
Peelings with BHA (beta-hydroxy acid = salicylic acid) have an 
antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect. The expert explains: "BHA 
acid can penetrate the pores and cleanse them from the inside. That is 
why they are particularly suitable for combination skin or oily skin that 
is prone to blemishes.“
AHA peels (alf-hydroxyxylot, glycolic acid, or lactic acid) affect the 
surface and are best suited to normal, dry or sun-damaged skin. They 
counteract sun damage such as hyperpigmentation and moisturize 
the skin.
Which order should I observe in the 
care routine?
Before you reach for the heavy cream, care products with a more watery or 
gel-like texture are used. These include, for example, the 
best Vitamin C Serum, boosters, and gel-based care products. Why should you 
keep to this order? Otherwise, the light formulas cannot penetrate the heavy 
care film of the cream and do not even get through to the skin - so they are 
ineffective.
Should Every Woman Use 
Moisturizers?
No, at least in the traditional sense of the word. Most people understand 
creams and lotions by moisturizers. Creams and lotions usually contain the oils 
needed to care for dry skin but are too rich for oily and damaged skin.
Because they clog the pores and can even worsen the complexion. The 
keyword: anxiety pimples. So if your skin is not extremely dry, you can do 
without a moisturizer.
Does eye care make sense?
No, you can usually save yourself that! Only if the skin around the eyes is much drier than the rest of the face, is it 
worth investing in an additional cream? 
Even then, conventional facial care is sufficient. Provided that it is free from fragrances and dyes, which can irritate 
the sensitive skin area and eyes.
Often it is even a better decision to simply use the face cream for the eyes. Because, unlike many eye creams, it 
contains a sun protection factor in most cases. Too much sun is one of the main triggers for dark circles and 
wrinkles.
How important is sun protection?
Very important! "80 percent of what bothers us about our skin in old age is due to too much sun," says the beauty 
expert. The last step in your care routine for the day should therefore always be a product with a sun protection 
factor. 
It doesn't matter whether it's particularly sunny outside or maybe we're just inside. Because the UVA rays 
responsible for aging occur constantly regardless of the season and even penetrate glass.
