Detox in everyday life – how to relieve your skin, body, and mind
The term detox is everywhere, but it is often misunderstood. It’s not about radical juice cleanses or deprivation, but about conscious routines that regularly relieve body and mind. Our daily lives are full of small burdens: environmental toxins, stress, lack of sleep, unhealthy snacks. All of this affects not only our well-being but also our skin.With a few simple changes, you can create your own Daytox ritual – without any extreme programs. Why detox is more than just a trend Detox means supporting the body's natural ability to regenerate. The liver, kidneys, intestines, and skin are constantly working to break down toxins. But stress, environmental pollutants, or an unbalanced diet can slow these processes. The goal is not to "cleanse" the body, but to help it regain balance with more calm, nutrients, and conscious care. 1. Detox through nutrition – strengthening inner balance Nutrition is the most important lever for sustainable relief.Fresh, plant-based foods provide antioxidants and fiber that activate metabolism and neutralize free radicals. Water & herbal tea: Support kidney function and promote the elimination of metabolic waste. Green vegetables: Spinach, broccoli, or kale provide chlorophyll – the "green gold" for cell cleansing. Berries & citrus fruits: Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants for healthy, resilient skin. Fermented foods: Yogurt alternatives, sauerkraut, or kimchi promote a healthy gut flora, and a healthy gut is reflected in the skin's appearance. A tip: Start the day with lukewarm water and lemon juice. It stimulates digestion and helps gently activate the body. 2. Skin Detox – Care as Support The skin also needs a regular "break" to breathe and regenerate.Using too many products in layers can overwhelm the skin. Therefore, rely on clear, minimalist routines with light, effective formulations. A gentle exfoliation – like the Enzyme Peeling – removes dead skin cells without irritation. This allows the skin to renew itself and absorb active ingredients better. Afterwards, Cell Repair helps your skin to stimulate cell regeneration, so you can soon enjoy a plump, smooth complexion. Tip: Give your skin 1–2 days a week without makeup – this supports its natural regeneration. In our article "Skincare & Nutrition - what supports your skin from within", you can also read about the influence nutrition can have on your skin’s appearance. 3. Movement & Breathing – detox through the skin Sweating is one of the most natural forms of detox.Exercise in fresh air brings oxygen to the cells and promotes circulation. This helps metabolic waste to be better removed. Conscious breathing exercises also have a relieving effect:Just five minutes of deep belly breathing in the morning lowers cortisol levels and gives more energy to skin and mind. 4. Digital Detox – rest for your nervous system Not only environmental toxins but also information overload and constant availability burden us.Blue light, lack of sleep, and constant stress can promote inflammatory processes in the skin. Incorporate conscious offline times: No phone in the first hour after waking up 30 minutes of screen break before sleep Walks without headphones to sort your thoughts Such breaks are not a waste of time; they are mental care and promote long-term balance. 5. Self-care & Sleep – natural regeneration Sleep is the most effective detox tool of all.While we rest, detoxification and repair processes run at full speed.An evening ritual with a gentle massage, a cup of herbal tea, and soothing care like the Night Repair Serum can help calm body and mind. Meditation or mindfulness training are also valuable additions to reduce stress hormones—the main cause of many skin problems. Conclusion – small steps, big impact Detox is not a short-term trend but a conscious lifestyle.It’s about regularly giving your body, skin, and mind a break through good nutrition, simple routines, and loving care. You don’t have to give anything up; you just need to give your body more: rest, nutrients, and time to recover.Because true beauty arises when we feel good inside and out.

Skincare & Nutrition – What Supports Your Skin from Within
A fresh, healthy complexion starts not only with the right care but also with what we eat daily.Our skin is a reflection of our lifestyle. It reacts to stress, lack of sleep, and especially to our diet. Those who eat consciously support their skin from within, while the right care protects it from the outside. Together, they form the perfect duo for long-term healthy, radiant skin. How nutrition affects your skin The skin is our largest organ and needs energy, vitamins, and minerals to maintain its protective function.Fatty, sugary, or highly processed foods can promote inflammation, dry out the skin, or encourage impurities.A nutrient-rich, plant-focused diet provides the skin with the building blocks it needs to regenerate, retain moisture, and maintain elasticity. The more colorful and fresh your meals, the better for your skin, as each color on the plate represents different valuable plant compounds. These nutrients make your skin glow from within Vitamin C – protection and radiance Vitamin C is one of the most important substances for the skin. It promotes collagen production, neutralizes free radicals, and helps maintain an even complexion.Found in: berries, citrus fruits, bell peppers, and broccoli.For external support, a product with vitamin C is suitable, such as the Vitamin C Serum 12%, which restores radiance to tired skin. Omega-3 fatty acids – natural moisture and protection Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory effects and support the skin's lipid barrier – keeping it soft and resilient.Found in: flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, or algae oil.Especially in autumn and winter, when the skin tends to be dry, these fats are true skin saviors. Zinc & Selenium – for clear and resilient skin Both trace elements support cell regeneration and help with minor inflammations or skin impurities.Found in: whole grain products, legumes, oats, and nuts. Regular intake ensures a more balanced complexion, especially for sensitive or blemish-prone skin. Water & secondary plant compounds – fresh energy for the skin Hydration is essential for plump skin. Besides sufficient water, water-rich foods like cucumbers, melons, or tomatoes support moisture balance.Secondary plant compounds – found in green tea, pomegranate, or spinach – act as antioxidants and protect cells from oxidative stress. Additionally, a moisturizing care helps maintain the external moisture balance, e.g., the Hyaluron Cream SPF20, which binds water in the skin and additionally protects against UV radiation. Nutrition & care – the interplay makes the difference Internal and external care work hand in hand.A balanced diet strengthens the skin from within, and skincare products help to bring and stabilize this effect externally.This way, the skin can not only regenerate better but also utilize the supplied nutrients more efficiently. An example: Vitamin C from fruits supports collagen production, a vitamin C serum enhances this effect externally by reducing oxidative stress. Omega-3 fatty acids have an anti-inflammatory effect in the body, and a barrier-strengthening care, such as with niacinamides, additionally protects the skin from external irritants. The combination of healthy nutrition and targeted care ensures that the skin remains balanced, resilient, and vital in the long term – all without excessive effort. Conclusion – Beauty begins with awareness Skin care is not a single step but a combination of many factors, and nutrition plays a crucial role in this.Those who eat fresh, colorful, and nutrient-rich foods give their skin the best foundation to strengthen itself.A restorative care complements this effect by protecting what is created from within: healthy, balanced, and radiant skin, day by day.

Chemical Peeling vs. AHA Peeling – Gentle Glow in Autumn
When the sun retreats and the days get shorter, the skin often loses its radiance. After summer, it sometimes appears dull, uneven, or troubled – a sign that it needs support in regeneration.A gentle peel can work wonders here. But many wonder: What is actually the difference between a chemical peel and an AHA peel? And which is best suited for more sensitive autumn skin? What exactly is a chemical peel? The term chemical peel refers to a method where dead skin cells are dissolved using acids or enzymes – completely without mechanical friction. Unlike traditional scrubs with granules, a chemical peel works on a molecular level.That sounds more intense, but when used correctly, it is usually much gentler because the skin barrier is not irritated by friction. Chemical peels can contain different types of acids depending on skin type and desired effect. The best known are AHA (alpha hydroxy acids), BHA (beta hydroxy acids), and PHA (poly hydroxy acids). AHA peel – the classic for radiant, smooth skin AHA stands for alpha hydroxy acids, a group of water-soluble fruit acids that include glycolic, lactic, and mandelic acid, among others.An AHA peel mainly works on the top layer of the skin. It removes dead cells, refines the skin texture, and simultaneously stimulates cell renewal. The result: a smoother, fresher, and more even skin surface. AHA peels are especially suitable for: normal to dry skin dull, lackluster skin first signs of skin aging or fine lines It is important not to use the peel too often – once or twice a week is enough to achieve visible results without overloading the skin. AHA, BHA, or enzyme peel – what is the difference? While AHA acids act on the skin's surface, BHA acids (e.g., salicylic acid) penetrate deeper into the pores. They are therefore better suited for oily or blemish-prone skin.Enzyme peels, on the other hand, work completely without acids. They dissolve dead skin cells using natural enzymes – gentle but effective – and are ideal for sensitive or delicate skin types. An example is the Enzyme Peeling, which works with enzymes from papaya and pineapple. It smooths the skin without irritation, ensures an even complexion, and can be used all year round – especially recommended for autumn when the skin reacts more sensitively. How to properly integrate peels into your routine Cleansing: Gentle but thorough – free the skin from makeup and residues. Peeling: Use once or twice a week, preferably in the evening. Moisture: Then replenish with a soothing care product, e.g., with the Niacinamide Fluid SPF30 or the Hyaluron Cream SPF20. Protection: Be sure to use UV protection the following day to protect the skin. Important: After a peel, the skin can temporarily react more sensitively. Therefore, less is more. Regular, moderate use brings the best long-term results. Conclusion: Gentle renewal for more radiance A peel is more than just a cleansing step – it’s an effective way to renew the skin and bring back its natural glow. Especially in autumn, the skin benefits from this gentle form of renewal because it is more prone to dryness and environmental stress. Whether you choose an AHA, BHA, or enzyme peel: the important thing is to adapt the product to your skin type, gently incorporate it into your routine, and then ensure sufficient moisture and protection.This is how your skin stays smooth, fine-pored, and radiant – completely irritation-free and perfectly prepared for the colder months.

From summer to autumn – how to adapt your skincare
When the days get shorter and the sun loses its strength, one thing in particular feels the effects first: our skin. After long, warm summer months, it suddenly becomes more sensitive, tight, or appears dull. No wonder! Air conditioning, sun, and salt air have taken their toll, while colder temperatures and heated air now present new challenges. So it's time to gently but specifically adapt your skincare routine to the new season. Why your skin changes in autumn In summer, your skin usually has enough moisture and sebum production to protect itself. But as temperatures drop, sebum production slows down—at the same time, your skin loses more moisture due to wind and heating. The result: tightness, dryness, and even irritation. In addition, the sun may have slightly weakened the skin barrier over the past few months. Now it needs products that provide intensive care and rebuild its protective function. Step 1: Gently cleanse without drying out Start your fall routine with a gentle cleanser that removes dirt and residue without irritating your skin. Harsh, foaming products are out of place now—they can further dry out already stressed skin. Instead, opt for creamy or gel-like cleansers with moisturizing ingredients. Tip: After cleansing, do not rub your skin until it is squeaky clean – this is a sign that too much fat has been removed. Step 2: Moisture in layers – layering is now your friend After summer, a light serum is often enough. In autumn, you can go a little further: Work with several moisturizing layers that accompany your skin throughout the day. Hyaluronic acid has proven particularly effective, binding moisture deep within the skin and giving it a plump and fresh appearance. A product like Daytox Hyaluron Cream SPF 20 moisturizes while simultaneously protecting against the last rays of the sun. This keeps your complexion supple and radiant without feeling tight. For an extra boost, you can also incorporate a serum with niacinamide . The Daytox Niacinamide Serum strengthens the skin barrier, calms redness, and makes your skin more resistant to cold and environmental stress. Step 3: Adapt your care – distinguish between day and night While you use lighter textures with protective factors during the day, your nighttime moisturizer can be richer. Skin regenerates more intensively at night—perfect for supporting it with regenerating ingredients. Choose a cream or serum containing barrier lipids or regenerating substances. If you want, you can't banish your summer skincare products immediately: simply mix a drop of your light fluid with a slightly richer cream. This will gently acclimate your skin to the change. Step 4: Peeling yes – but gently Even if summer is over, regular exfoliation is still worthwhile. It removes dead skin cells and restores your complexion's radiance. Important: In the fall, opt for enzymatic exfoliants , which work gently without irritating the skin. Mechanical exfoliants with grains can overwhelm the skin barrier. Step 5: Protection from inside & out Don't forget: Sun protection is still a good idea in the fall, especially on clear days or if you spend a lot of time outdoors. A product with SPF 20 is usually sufficient for everyday use. At the same time, you can also support your skin from within: Drink plenty of water, eat foods rich in omega-rich proteins (e.g., nuts, flaxseed), and treat yourself to a face mask with soothing ingredients every now and then. Conclusion: Smooth change instead of radical upheaval Your skin doesn't need a completely new routine in the fall, just a few small adjustments. Switching from light summer textures to moisturizing, barrier-strengthening products will ensure your skin stays healthy and balanced even as temperatures drop. With hyaluronic acid, niacinamides, and gentle care, you can perfectly accompany your skin through the transition into the cooler season – for an even, radiant complexion that welcomes autumn.

How the environment affects your skin
The skin is not only our largest organ, it's also sensitive—sometimes more, sometimes less. However, how healthy and clean it is isn't just a matter of genetics. The environment also influences the skin. This is scientifically proven. Learn more about this influence and what you can do to protect your skin here. Which environmental influences are bad for the skin? When we hear the word "environment," we often think first of pollution. And pollution can have a significant impact on our skin. Invisible particulate matter in the air, in particular, can worsen the appearance of our skin. You can't escape environmental influences like exhaust fumes, particulate matter, and other contaminants. But you can protect your skin from them. More on that later. In addition to the obvious environmental influences that are bad for the skin, UV radiation also plays a major role. While this can provide a brilliant tan, it is unfortunately damaging to the skin. The weather itself also affects the condition of your skin. You've probably noticed that your skin is drier in winter than in summer. Environmental influences include everything that affects your skin in addition to your genes. This also applies to your personal lifestyle. For example, what you eat, how much stress you experience, or how much you drink can affect your skin positively or negatively. How does the environment affect the skin? If all these environmental factors are allowed to influence your skin unchecked, it can have negative consequences. For example, premature skin aging can set in, manifesting as small or large wrinkles. Pimples and blackheads can develop, as can dark spots. The skin can become dry or excessively oily. A tired and dull complexion can also be the result of environmental influences. All of these things can be prevented with the right care and protection. How can you protect your skin from environmental influences? The skin barrier is important for protecting your skin. It forms a film over your skin and protects it from harmful environmental influences. To maintain this stability, the right skincare routine is crucial. This depends largely on your personal skin type. Oily skin certainly has different needs than dry skin . Nevertheless, there are basic things you can keep in mind when caring for your skin, regardless of your skin type. It's important, for example, to avoid using harsh products. Especially for people prone to blemishes , the temptation to use cleansing products or creams containing harsh ingredients that promise to provide quick relief is great. They may do so at first. Over time, however, they destroy the skin barrier and have the exact opposite effect. Environmental influences then have an easy time penetrating your skin, causing even more blemishes, wrinkles, dark spots, or dehydration. Use a skincare product that supports your skin barrier. Ingredients like vitamin C are ideal for this. Moisture is also important for healthy skin that is well protected against environmental influences. Our Vitamin C Cream , for example, offers excellent care; it ensures a radiant complexion while effectively combating impurities and protecting the skin from harmful environmental influences. Another important way to protect your skin from environmental influences is with a good sun protection factor. As already mentioned, UV rays are harmful to the skin. They also lead to premature skin aging and dark spots. Therefore, apply an SPF every day. A day cream with a built-in SPF is ideal for this. Our Hyaluron Cream SPF 20, for example, not only provides you with intensive moisture, but with SPF 20, it is also perfectly suited to protecting your skin from the sun's rays. If you don't want to use a day cream with SPF, you can simply apply it over the cream. In the evening, you should opt for a skincare product that regenerates overnight. Our Retinol Serum not only makes your skin smoother and plumper, but the active ingredient also helps protect it from harmful environmental influences. You can then apply the Cell Repair Cream, which contains hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, aloe vera, and citrus extract, among other ingredients. These ingredients help stimulate your skin's cell regeneration and also protect against environmental influences. How important is daily cleansing of the skin against environmental influences? Exhaust fumes and fine dust in the air settle on your skin – there's not much you can do about it. With a healthy skin barrier, this isn't so tragic, but it's still important to rid your skin of these environmental influences every day. Therefore, cleanse your face thoroughly every evening. The best way to do this is with a double cleansing routine. Start by using an oil-based cleanser to remove makeup, SPF, dirt, and sebum. Our Gentle Oil Cleanser is ideal for this. The second step in your daily cleansing routine is deep pore cleansing. Our Cleansing Foam leaves your skin refreshed and clarified and also regulates sebum production. For a perfect cleansing routine, you should also exfoliate at least once a week. Here, too, the most important rule is to avoid harsh products, as scrubs in particular can quickly damage the skin barrier. Our Enzyme Scrub with pineapple and papaya enzymes cleanses your skin particularly gently yet deeply. How can the skin be supported in everyday life? A good skincare routine and daily use of sunscreen are already important steps in protecting your skin from environmental influences. But your personal lifestyle also has a major impact on your entire body. An unhealthy diet, insufficient fluid intake, and excessive stress can all have a negative impact on your skin. Therefore, try to eat as healthily as possible. Sugary foods and excessive dairy products promote blemishes. Hydration is important for your skin, not only externally but also internally. You should drink at least 1.5 liters a day. Water is best. Also, make sure you balance things out when you're under a lot of stress—your skin will thank you. Conclusion: We cannot escape environmental influences, but we can protect our skin It's impossible to completely protect your skin from environmental influences. Therefore, good protection is essential. Maintain a healthy skin barrier by supporting it with high-quality active ingredients. Antioxidant ingredients include vitamin C and various enzymes. Also important is a good sun protection factor, which you should use daily – even in rainy weather. Combine this with a largely healthy lifestyle, and nothing will stand in the way of a radiant complexion and clear, youthfully fresh-looking skin.

Skincare tips for the new year - how to get your skin in shape
Do you have any New Year's resolutions? We all know this: in January, you make a lot of resolutions – some you keep, some you don't. But when it comes to your skin, you should stick to them. It will thank you! We've compiled a few skincare resolutions that you can easily keep. Make 2023 your year for radiantly beautiful skin – we'll show you how! 1. Find your skincare routine Not all skin is the same. That's why there's no one-size-fits-all skincare routine. It all depends on your personal skin type. Naturally, dry skin has completely different needs than oily skin . There's also sensitive skin and skin that tolerates absolutely anything. Therefore, it's vital to find a skincare routine that suits you and your skin type. The first step is to determine your skin type and what your skin needs. Then you can find the right products for you. If you're unsure, you'll find all the important information in our Skincare Guide or in our Skintime videos. 2. Cleanse your face daily No matter what skin type you have, it is absolutely essential to cleanse your skin every day. But be careful! You shouldn't use overly aggressive products, as these can disrupt the skin barrier. First of all, it is important to consistently remove your makeup every evening. Improperly removed makeup is a common cause of impure skin. An oil-based cleanser, such as our Gentle Oil Cleanser , is ideal for removing makeup and coarse dirt and sunscreen. Afterwards, you should use a mild product, such as our Cleansing Foam . It cleanses your skin deep down and ensures a clear complexion. You can also pamper your skin with a scrub once or twice a week, but not every day. But here too, less is more. Overly vigorous rubbing or sharp-edged scrub particles irritate your skin unnecessarily. Our Enzyme Scrub with pineapple and papaya enzymes removes dead skin cells particularly gently. 3. SPF is your BFF - Always use sunscreen Do you only use sunscreen on beach vacations? You should change that immediately. Regardless of whether it's cloudy or not, as soon as you're outside, your skin is exposed to the sun's dangerous UV rays. Without adequate protection, this can lead to wrinkles, dark spots, and, in the worst case, even skin cancer. You can either apply sunscreen over your daily moisturizer or use a day cream that already contains it. Our Hyaluron Cream SPF 20 is the perfect everyday companion. However, when actively sunbathing on the beach, you should use at least SPF 50. 4. Clean everything that comes into contact with your face You already know it's important to clean your face daily. But all objects that come into contact with your face should also be hygienic. First and foremost is your smartphone. If you carry it around with you all day, it can be a breeding ground for bacteria. When you're on the phone, it's right next to your face. Special wipes are available for cleaning your smartphone that ensure hygienic cleanliness. Second, your cosmetic brushes. You can easily clean them regularly with a gentle shampoo and a little water. This removes all oils and other residues. 5. Drink plenty of water We often hear that skin needs moisture. And it doesn't just need it from the outside. Therefore, it's important to drink plenty of water. Aim for at least 1.5 liters a day, and two or three in hot weather or while exercising. If you get bored of water over time, you can also opt for unsweetened tea. An extra tip: Starting your day with a glass of lukewarm lemon water can also have a positive effect on your skin. 6. Sleeping Beauty Yes, it's true – sleep is important for your well-being and therefore also for your skin. While you sleep, your body releases a growth hormone, which, among other things, promotes skin regeneration. If you don't get enough sleep, it can also affect your skin: a pale complexion, dark circles under the eyes, and wrinkles are the result. So make sure you get enough sleep. For adults, that's about seven to eight hours per night. 7. Beautiful from the inside - eat healthy A healthy and balanced diet has a positive effect on the entire body – and therefore also on your skin. Therefore, you should primarily choose foods that provide you with vitamins and other beneficial nutrients. Vitamins A, B2, and C, as well as biotin, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids, are important for the skin. These nutrients and vitamins are found in foods such as fruit and vegetables, potatoes, oatmeal, cheese, and nuts. Highly processed foods, as well as too many dairy products and sugar, are less good for the skin. The results of a change in diet can include fewer wrinkles, fewer blemishes, and a radiant complexion. 8. Consistency is key: Persevere! To really do something good for your skin and keep it healthy and clear, you need perseverance. And it's not as difficult as it might sound. Once you've found a skincare routine that suits you, you'll feel like you won't want to miss it again. And the most important word is already in the term: routine. Make your evening cleansing routine a ritual, and it will quickly become routine. Have a large bottle of water ready, which you must drink throughout the day. And as for nutrition: A healthy and balanced diet doesn't mean you have to give up everything. The right amount is crucial. So try to incorporate our tips into your daily routine, and you'll find that sticking with it isn't so difficult. January is the perfect start for new routines; after all, it represents a fresh start and a detox from old habits. Seize the opportunity and soon you'll enjoy a completely new feeling in your skin.

Stress - how it affects your skin
"The skin is the mirror of the soul," "it gets under your skin," "that (doesn't) bother me." All these sayings are very common in our everyday language. And they're not without reason. Stress and what it does to the entire body does indeed have an impact on the skin. Learn what these effects are and what you can do about them here. What is stress actually? Stress has already become a household word. When someone doesn't have time for a conversation, they often say they're stressed. Anyone who has a lot to do is also stressed. But can stress be defined? In fact, everyone deals with stress differently. Some are significantly more resilient than others. What's already too much for one person may be just beginning for another. Stress is therefore a very individual phenomenon and therefore difficult to describe in general terms. Scientifically speaking, stress is anything that causes the body to react. Heat is a good example – the body reacts to it by sweating. Even with a high workload, some people break out in a sweat, and their heart might even race, while others remain relaxed. How does stress affect the skin? No matter how stress-resistant you are, you've certainly experienced stress at some point. And this affects the skin—it can truly be described as a mirror of the soul. Our outward appearance can react differently to short-term stress than to chronic stress. When we're angry, we blush. When we get stressed, we get red spots on our face and décolleté, and when we receive a compliment, our cheeks flush. Fear or even a particularly beautiful song can trigger goosebumps. All of these are automatic processes in the body; we react to emotions. However, these skin changes usually disappear on their own after a few minutes. But emotions aren't the only thing that affects the skin. Stress can also become chronic. If we're constantly under pressure, for example, because we have to perform at a high level at work, our body releases increased amounts of stress hormones. These hormones can cause unsightly skin changes. Furthermore, increased stress levels lead to a weakened immune system. We become more susceptible to infections, but also to inflammation, which naturally also affects the skin. The consequences of stress on the skin are either dry patches , as the skin barrier's ability to regenerate is disrupted. It loses moisture and begins to feel tight or rough. Stress and dry skin also promote the formation of wrinkles. Conversely, stress hormones can also lead to excessive sebum production, which increases the incidence of blemishes and pimples. Skin problems can lead to stress People suffering from problematic skin often experience stress. Visible skin changes like acne or psoriasis often make those affected feel embarrassed. Yet, such conditions are often exacerbated by stress. Conversely, stress can also trigger these changes. You can quickly slip into a vicious cycle where stress causes poor skin, and conversely, poor skin triggers stress. How should you care for stressed skin? When it comes to stress-related skin problems, external care is unfortunately only a small part of the bigger picture. Of course, it's still important to take proper care of your skin and not put unnecessary strain on it. Many sufferers then start using aggressive cleansers or completely over-treating their skin in an effort to quickly get rid of the blemishes or dry skin. The right approach, however, is to pay close attention to what your skin needs. If it's dry, rough, and flaky, you should counteract this with targeted moisturizing care. For example, use our Hyaluronic Acid Serum in combination with a moisturizing cream, such as our Vitamin C Cream . If you suffer from blemishes , then make sure you maintain a gentle yet effective cleansing routine. Our Cleansing Foam combined with our Facial Toner is a great option. Thanks to their mild formulas, both products gently cleanse your skin but penetrate deep into the pores, helping to combat impurities. You can also use a chemical peel once or twice a week. Our Enzyme Peeling gently removes dead skin cells, leaving your skin smooth. What else can you do to combat stress? However, proper skin care is only effective if you address the root cause of your problems. Ideally, you should avoid stress in your daily life so that skin problems don't develop in the first place. Of course, this is easier said than done at first, but you can definitely try. For example, create a balance to your daily work routine. Exercise, as this releases endorphins and prevents stress. Regular meditation helps you relax. After a stressful day at work, a warm bath is a real miracle cure for reducing your stress levels. You can also treat yourself to a relaxing massage every now and then. So, there are a few things you can do to avoid getting stressed in the first place. Also, actively take time for yourself. We live in a world where we're constantly on edge. Simply lying on the couch and doing nothing makes many people feel guilty. But it shouldn't. Admit to yourself that your body needs rest every now and then and consciously enjoy this downtime. This will also help you become more relaxed. Conclusion: Stress is poison for the skin Too much stress puts enormous strain on your body. Your immune system weakens, and infections soon become commonplace. On top of that, too much stress often leads to sleepless nights, which leave you feeling even weaker. All of this also affects the skin. Excessive stress leads to the release of certain hormones that negatively impact the skin barrier and skin health. Therefore, if you're already noticing skin blemishes or changes due to stress, you should urgently change your daily routine to be more relaxed. Proper skin care is also important during such times. Ideally, you can prevent stress in the first place so that these skin problems don't arise in the first place.
