All skin needs moisture to look plump and fresh. The older we get, the more we need additional resources from within and without. While young skin often still has sufficient natural moisture, it can quickly become unbalanced due to environmental influences or care mistakes. Mature skin, on the other hand, increasingly loses moisture over the years and requires targeted support to maintain elasticity and freshness. Proper moisturizing is therefore not a matter of age, but a daily necessity, tailored to individual skin needs.

Our skin retains moisture through more than just a natural mechanism. The outermost layer of skin, the stratum corneum, acts like a protective shield. Lipids (fats) and natural moisturizing factors, collectively known as NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor), bind water and prevent it from evaporating. The skin's own hyaluronic acid also plays a key role: It can bind many times its weight in water and helps keep the skin plump and supple. An intact skin barrier and proper care are crucial for maintaining this moisture balance.

Many external and internal influences deprive the skin of valuable moisture. Dry heating air, air conditioning, UV radiation, wind, and cold are among the most common causes. Harsh cleansing products that attack the skin's barrier and excessive washing can also disrupt the skin's natural moisture balance.

Lifestyle factors also play a role: Smoking impairs blood circulation, reduces the oxygen supply to the skin and inhibits the production of collagen and lipids, which leads to faster moisture loss.

The key lies in a combination of targeted and conscious care. I rely on active ingredients that not only moisturize the skin superficially but also strengthen its ability to retain moisture, such as plant-based hyaluronic acid, high-quality plant lipids, and soothing hydrolates.

Equally important is what we avoid : harsh surfactants, drying alcohol, or synthetic fragrances. A gentle cleanser that respects the skin barrier is the foundation.

Lifestyle also plays a role! Smoking, stress, and lack of sleep all drain the skin of energy and nutrients. With the right care, you can actively counteract this: You protect, stabilize, and help the skin regain its balance.

My formulations are tailored to this – gentle, effective and well thought out down to the last detail.
