HYALURONIC INFUSION SERUM

If the skin becomes increasingly flaky and rough with age, feels dry again immediately despite frequent moisturizing, and the skin cream does not absorb, we would recommend a peeling. This allows the top layer of skin, i.e., the dead skin flakes that still lie on the skin's surface like small "roof tiles," to be gently removed. The dead skin cells only superficially absorb the care product, and the moisture evaporates immediately. Thus, the skin cream does not penetrate the skin at all. A gentle peeling helps to dissolve the blocking "roof tiles," making the skin more receptive to care, smoother, and more even. This way, the moisturizing serum or moisture care can optimally penetrate the skin and unfold its effect. For this, either a good enzyme peeling (for example, the SKINUANCE ENZYME CLEANSER & PEELING) or a mild fruit acid cream (FRUIT ACID CREAM) is suitable.

SKINUANCE therefore does not use UV filters in its day care because we pursue the approach of concentrating and minimizing our formulations to the essentials. This means that we use few but highly concentrated active ingredients. At the same time, we avoid additives that are not absolutely necessary. This also applies to UV filters. The daily use of UV filters with facial care would mean a permanent penetration of the skin with filters, even if one is, for example, not exposed to the sun at all or only briefly during lunch breaks. For a short time, we also recommend conscious sun exposure to absorb vitamin D. The burden of filters can lead to allergies and resistances. In the worst case, one may eventually become unable to tolerate any UV filters at all. Therefore, we recommend supplementing your favorite care as needed and precisely with a sun protection (for example with the SKINUANCE SUN DEFENCE 50+) or applying it over/under the day care.

After laser treatments, chemical peels, and aesthetic procedures, we recommend rather sensitive and soothing care products and creams and serums that optimally accompany and support the effect of the procedure:

• SKINUANCE HYALURONIC INFUSION SERUM
• SKINUANCE REGENERATING FACE CREAM
• SKINUANCE CALMING FACE CREAM
• SKINUANCE 3-IN-1 ANTI-AGING FACE OIL
• SKINUANCE FACE CREAM LIGHT
• SKINUANCE FACE CREAM MEDIUM
• SKINUANCE FACE CREAM RICH
• SKINUANCE EYE CREAM LIGHT
• SKINUANCE MEN ANTI-AGING EYE

It is important not to apply the products on damaged skin; for this, there are medications.

The characteristics of couperose are enlarged blood vessels and reddened, dry skin, as well as increased sensitivity. The skin barrier is compromised, and the skin is more prone to irritations. Therefore, products for skincare for couperose should not contain stimulating active ingredients. Caffeine, for example, is considered stimulating and could potentially exacerbate the redness.

For facial care for couperose, we recommend skincare products that are rather sensitive and soothing, which do not contain irritating fragrances, strong preservatives, or harsh surfactants.

The following from our range would be well suited:

• SKINUANCE MILD CLEANSING FOAM
• SKINUANCE HYALURONIC INFUSION SERUM
• SKINUANCE FACE CREAM LIGHT
• SKINUANCE FACE CREAM MEDIUM
• SKINUANCE FACE CREAM RICH
• SKINUANCE CALMING FACE CREAM
• SKINUANCE REGENERATING FACE CREAM
• SKINUANCE EYE CREAM LIGHT
• SKINUANCE 3-IN-1 ANTI-AGING FACE OIL
• SKINUANCE MEN ANTI-AGING EYE

However, a mild fruit acid cream (SKINUANCE FRUIT ACID CREAM) is also effective, providing very nice results for couperose. It works very gently, makes the skin more resilient over time, soothes irritations, and repairs the skin barrier. However, this is individually dependent on the sensation. Often, the feeling of slight warmth and possible brief light redness in couperose is already perceived as uncomfortable.

Contributing factors also include lifestyle and diet. For example, abstaining from alcohol, spicy, irritating spices, coffee and tea, and strong temperature changes mitigates the effects of couperose.

When the skin is dry, especially sensitive, reddened, and irritated in winter, one can take "anti-frost" measures for the skin. At +8 °C, our sebaceous glands produce significantly less skin-own lipids. Therefore, skincare in the colder season should generally be much richer, meaning it should contain more oils. Water-in-oil emulsions are the right way to go here. They seal and protect the skin, keep out the cold, and prevent skin moisture from evaporating, thus keeping the skin from becoming dry. Too light or watery creams "freeze" on the surface of the skin. A layering method would be particularly suitable for winter skincare, i.e., after thorough cleansing, apply one to two deep-acting serums in succession and then seal them in with a rich cream. At least one serum should also contain very intense moisture, ideally with varying lengths of hyaluronic acid chains that penetrate the different layers of the skin and hydrate them very intensely and long-lasting.
