Perfect skin
Anyone who wants radiant, perfect skin should cleanse their skin well and look after it consistently.
Cleansing
Cleanse your skin mornings and evenings to remove sweat, sebum and makeup.
Mild cleansing milk or a cleansing foam are ideal. Your skin should not show any feeling of tightness after cleansing; you have then found the right product.
A face lotion without alcohol with chelating agent (e.g. phytic acid, or Carephos, Dissolvine 47-S) frees the skin from calcium residues. If the skin shows pimples, a face lotion with alcohol and salicylic acid should be chosen.
Perfect skin needs moisture
A feeling of tension and dry wrinkles are a sign of too dry skin. A moisturising cream with hyaluronic acid, urea, aloe vera helps against dry skin. Hyaluronic acid with different chain lengths also bolsters up the skin and the wrinkles disappear immediately. If you feel the need to add cream to your skin, you should use a moisture serum underneath the day cream or choose another product.
UV protection for perfect skin
Skin ageing is ageing caused by UV light to over 90%. The UV-A light penetrates deep into the skin creating many radicals that then trigger cell changes. The UV-A filter share should ideally be just as high as the UV-B filter content. This can be found on the encircled UVA symbol on the cosmetic packaging. But this sign only means 1/3 UV-A share. English cosmetic manufacturers are more advanced here, because they have introduced a “star” rating system. You have an equal UV-A filter share here with 5 stars and therefore an excellent protection against skin ageing. Significantly fewer radicals are then created in the skin and the remaining radicals can be effectively combatted with tocopherol or vitamin C.
We recommend using only a day cream with UV-A filters during the winter months, so that the little UV-B light is sufficient to stimulate the vitamin D synthesis. Here again, we add 7-Hydroxy…., a precursor of vitamin D to our day cream. In this way we ensure that sufficient vitamin D can be produced in the skin.
A day cream should have at least SPF 20 and a formulation without hormonal acting UV filter (without octocrylene, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate). The UV filter system should also have high photo stability.
Your current skin condition for perfect skin
A cosmetic sample is included in practically every magazine and new cosmetics are also available for sampling at beauticians every now and again. But the frequent changes irritate our skin and it would prefer to have less experiments. The price is also often taken as a decision-making criterion and so it is assumed that a cream for 5.49€ is perfect. Unfortunately the consumers are not supported much by the cosmetics manufacturers and so you can find many assessment platforms on the internet that attempt to give customers guidance. Even Social Media platforms with recommendations from other customers are often only a rough guide, because knowledge about the current skin condition is missing. A dermatologist or a chemist can be of assistance here, because the skin condition can also change. This should therefore be determined frequently for perfect skin and then the skin care oriented on the result.
Use night regeneration for perfect skin
Our skin reduces its sebum production at night, loses less water and the blood circulation is improved. The regeneration process is in full swing and many ingredients from the night cream can now be used better. The night cream should also be adapted to the respective skin type and therefore be a light O/W texture or also a greasier W/O formula. It should however have vitamins, hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, so that the skin can be optimally prepared for the new day.
Radical scavengers protect perfect skin
Radical scavengers are the second important pillar for perfect skin besides the important UV-A filters. Vitamin C and vitamin E have proved their worth, which can also regenerate themselves together, as well as provitamin A (beta-carotene). The polyphenols from grapes also work well against free radicals. If you should also discover BHT or BHA on your cosmetics, these are also radical scavengers, but they only help to protect the ingredients. These substances are no longer used and only show cheap cosmetics.
Pimples spoil perfect skin
Unfortunately it happens time and time again that small blackheads spoil our complexion. Squeezing mostly makes things even worse and a small pimple often turns into a clearly visible inflammation. Even ingrown hair due to frequent shaving disturbs. Products with salicylic acid and zinc help to keep the responsible bacteria at bay.
