It is therefore vital to incorporate sun protection into your daily routine. Anti-aging skincare is of little use when sun protection is missing from your beauty routine. Sun protection products should be the be-all and end-all of your routine. Be sure not to focus solely on the areas that are the most susceptible to sunburn. The face, lips and hair should be protected as well. 1. Day cream with SPF The face is susceptible to damage caused by UV rays therefore it must be protected at all costs. A day cream with SPF is recommended to prevent premature skin aging. The main function of sunscreen is to protect the skin against UV rays. A day cream with an SPF protects, nourishes and repairs the skin. 2. Protect the skin all year round Ideally, sun protection should be integrated into your daily skincare routine - during summer and winter. As little as 20 minutes of sun exposure a day adds up to 120 hours of UV exposure a year. Your skin will thank you for every day that it is protected against the harmful effects of the sun. Cosmeterie tip: Korean women are on top of their game when it comes to using sunscreen: the Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF50+ PA++++ is a top-class option with its SPF 50 PA ++++. 3. Protection for the eye and lip region The most sensitive areas of the skin - that are coincidentally the parts of the skin that are more susceptible to UV damage - are often neglected. When exposed to direct sunlight, it is advised to protect the lips with a balm. Tip: The rich textures of lip care products can be used on the eye region too! Cosmeterie tip: The Mimitika Sunscreen Lip Balm with SPF 20 is a popular companion when sunbathing. It offers protection, does not dry out the skin and provides a clear finish. 4. SPF for the hair Even though the hair does not show any signs of sunburn, it is essential to protect it from UV rays. Because the head is oftentimes exposed to the sun, it can weaken the keratin structure of the hair and, at times, this can lead to hair damage. To counteract this, it is advised to use a shampoo with UV protection or sun protection oil. <![CDATA[Valentine's Day Glow ]]> 2024-02-06T00:00:00+01:00 2024-02-06T00:00:00+01:00 https://www.cosmeterie.co.uk/info/magazine/valentines-day-glow Cosmeterie uk@cosmeterie.com https://www.cosmeterie.co.uk/ Love Is In The Air - because what could be better than celebrating LOVE?

Tip #1: Soft skin all over your body The skin is our largest organ spanning an unbelievable 20 square meters. Thus, taking care of our skin in a proper manner is imperative. A rich body lotion provides sufficient moisture and supplies the skin with important nutrients to create a particularly soft and radiant finish. At the same time, the entire body is enveloped with a subtle fragrance, conjuring up a pleasant skin feel. Product recommendations: Prodigieux® Lait Parfumé (Body Lotion) by NUXE is enriched with precious plant oils that moisturise, soften and brighten the skin. The body milk leaves behind a delicate shimmer effect upon application. Body Lotion by VERSO helps fight dullness and a dull appearance while balancing and protecting the skin against external environmental factors. The result is a soft and smooth complexion. Tip #2: High-quality serums for the ultimate glow effect To give the skin a youthful appearance and fresh glow, facial serums are a true MUST-HAVE. Serums are specially formulated to contain active ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid or Q10, in higher concentrations than conventional creams. This makes facial serums potent boosters for the skin. Product recommendations: The ROYAL Intensive Serum by Dr. Tonar actively helps the skin fight against the first signs of aging thereby slowing down the aging process. In addition, the skin structure is strengthened thanks to an increase in collagen formation and strengthened to create a youthful, glowing appearance. Sérum Para A Face - Face Serum by Costa Brazil is a lightweight face serum that consists of an intense combination of hyaluronic acid, vitamin C-rich camu camu, açai, rosemary and breu. The serum helps to improve the appearance of skin texture and tone. <![CDATA[How To Party]]> 2023-12-28T00:00:00+01:00 2023-12-28T00:00:00+01:00 https://www.cosmeterie.co.uk/info/magazine/how-to-party Cosmeterie uk@cosmeterie.com https://www.cosmeterie.co.uk/ The year is drawing near, and 2024 is virtually knocking at the door.

Nevertheless, the weeks leading up to Christmas are usually very turbulent and stressful - and oftentimes we tend to neglect taking time out for ourselves. All the more reason to treat yourself to conscious self-care sessions to give your mind and body a break. We have put together a little facial care routine to give your skin a fresh glow this holiday season. Step #1: Deep cleansing Our skin is exposed to impurities, excess sweat and make-up on a daily basis which can lead to irritation and dryness. Thorough and intensive cleansing is therefore important to relieve and strengthen the skin. Our tips: The Vital Foaming Cleanser by NUORI cleanses the skin down to the pores and actively counteracts dryness. It is enriched with valuable antioxidants that strengthen and protect the skin barrier. The Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Gel by REN gives your skin a pleasant feeling of freshness without having a drying effect which is why the gel is also suitable for very sensitive skin. The Blue Volcanic Stone Purifying & Antioxidizing Cleansing Gel by avant has intensive cleansing and antioxidant properties which not only gently removes dirt particles and make-up residues but also strengthens the elasticity of the skin. Step #2: Time to mask up Masks are a must to impart a true boost of freshness. Irrespective of whether you opt for a sheet, cream or gel mask, your skin will enjoy the nurturing active ingredients to reveal renewed radiance. Our tips: The Pumpkin Enzyme Mask by Peter Thomas Roth gently exfoliates the skin and gives you a refined and naturally glowing complexion. Bio Thai's Sensory Black Mask Patch provides the moisture and nutrients needed to create an even-looking complexion. Step #3: Pore-refining peels and scrubs for a clear complexion Our skin tends to take on a pall and expressionless appearance when we face stressful situations. Using liquid peels on a regular basis breathes freshness and radiance into the skin and frees it from dead skin cells. Our tips: Alpha Beta Peel Universal Formula by Dr Dennis Gross evens out imperfections in skin tone, strengthens skin structure and helps to minimise early signs of skin aging. Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Scrub fights blemishes with effective antioxidant and clarifying properties. Step #4: Flawless tan - even in winter We are all too familiar with our tans fading very quickly once summer is over. James Read's H2O Tan Mist Face imparts a flawless, glowing and even-looking appearance all year round. <![CDATA[AHAs vs BHAs: Which Acid is Right for Me?]]> 2023-10-26T00:00:00+02:00 2023-10-26T00:00:00+02:00 https://www.cosmeterie.co.uk/info/magazine/ahas-vs-bhas-which-acid-is-right-for-me Cosmeterie uk@cosmeterie.com https://www.cosmeterie.co.uk/ If you want healthy-looking, radiant skin, then exfoliating products should not be missing in your care routine. Chemical peels like Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) and Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) are two active ingredients found in many cosmetic products that have great benefits for the skin. Learn more about the differences between the two acids and what benefits they can have for your skin. Which acid should you use for which skin type? AHAs are water-soluble, so they only work on the skin's surface. Generally, they are preferred for normal to dry, sun damaged skin. BHAs are oil-soluble, making them best for normal to oily skin prone to bumps, blemishes, and enlarged pores. Since BHAs also have natural skin-soothing properties, they are gentle enough even for sensitive skin. Which acid offers which advantages? AHAs: Exfoliate the top layers of the skin Stimulate collagen production Protect your skin from free radicals Lighten of dark spots Moisturise BHAs: Dissolve dead skin cells Minimize pores and blackheads Stimulate the body's collagen production & improve skin texture Even out the complexion Application tips: Whether you use them in the form of a wash gel, serum, toner or cream - if you've never used acids in your care routine, it is important to start with a small dose (1-2x/week). If your skin tolerates them well, you can increase how frequently you use them after a few weeks. Important: Whenever using skincare products with acids, make sure you're wearing sufficient UV protection! Product Recommendations AHA dr Tônar Cosmetics NIGHT : An intensive anti-ageing night cream with an exfoliative effect that promotes skin regeneration. REN Clean Skincare Ready Steady Glow Daily AHA Tonic : A powerful toner that helps brighten the complexion and refines skin texture. Cosrx AHA 7 Whitehead Power Liquid : A liquid with a peeling effect that counteracts impurities and moisturises.

VERSO Body Oil Cleanser : A gentle cleansing foam for the body that balances and effectively cleanses, improving the skin's moisture content long term. <![CDATA[Our Tips for Counteracting Dry Skin]]> 2023-10-26T00:00:00+02:00 2023-10-26T00:00:00+02:00 https://www.cosmeterie.co.uk/info/magazine/our-tips-for-counteracting-dry-skin Cosmeterie uk@cosmeterie.com https://www.cosmeterie.co.uk/ Our skin takes quite a toll during the icy winter months and is more prone to dryness.

Maybe you are even pregnant or have your children with you. Thinking about what women refugees have to go through makes us both angry and sad. So we have teamed up with UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe Germany for UNHCR to support women on the run for International Women's Day. Donate here between 07.03.2023 to 09.03.2023. We will match all donations received during that time from our site. DONATE TODAY More refugees than ever before Some 103 million people are on the run worldwide. That's more than 1% of the world's population, and that number is rising dramatically. Since the end of 2021, 13.6 million more people have had to leave their homes. The main reason for this 15% increase is the war in Ukraine. The majority of refugees are women and children. The current situation is particularly severe in Turkey and Syria: Turkey is the country that currently hosts the most refugees - 3.7 million. The earthquake in February this year thus also hit many people who had already lost everything. Things are made worse by a harsh winter with temperatures around freezing point. And, after a year of war, the situation still hasn't improved in Ukraine: Many families have lost their homes and are waiting in makeshift shelters, both in Ukraine and abroad, hoping for news that the war has ended. War always hits the weakest the hardest. Those who suffer are often children, the elderly, and the socially disadvantaged. Women play a central role in crisis regions: it is often they who take care of basic services: medical facilities, childcare, etc. Fleeing is never voluntary! Women generally flee for the same reasons as men: for political or religious reasons, or because they belong to a specific ethnic or social group. In addition, however, there are women-specific reasons for fleeing that do not affect men in the same way, such as sexual exploitation, female genital mutilation, forced marriages, or domestic violence, which force women to leave their homes. Violence against women When social structures change in a country, the propensity for violence often increases. This can result in kidnappings and systematic raping of women and girls, crimes which are also often part of war strategy. Victims of violence often suffer long-term psychological consequences throughout their lives, from depression to suicidal thoughts and social isolation. The Corona pandemic has further fueled the situation For example, there has been an increase in violence against women refugees, and not only in their home countries. The low-wage sector, as well as areas of informal work, have often completely collapsed as a result of the pandemic, causing many women to lose their livelihoods. The Corona pandemic has also led to an increase in poverty in many countries. And, unfortunately, when poverty increases, so do instances of forced marriage, child labour, and human trafficking. Many refugee girls around the world have had to abandon their education and work instead, or even leave their homes. Precarious conditions on the run Women are also often exposed to dangerous situations while fleeing: sexual violence, no protection, no hygienic care, often no access to food for days. Many have their children with them. It is difficult for them to obtain items such as sanitary products or nappies. Pregnant and sick women have no access to medical care. Women as a sign of hope Despite all these hurdles, women and girls show great resilience, ingenuity, and courage in overcoming these problems. In many cases, they're the ones who find the strength to rebuild not only their own lives but also the lives of their families. Aid organisations play a central role in this area: for example, they ensure that children born while on the run are also issued birth certificates. The UNHCR specifically addresses the needs of women in all its programmes, focusing, for example, on education for girls and women or job programmes to enable women to gain their independence. At the same time, women need a safe place to sleep and separate toilet facilities - basics that cannot be forgotten. The UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe Germany for UNHCR works to improve the lives of women "Our goal is to build on the rich experiences, skills, and aspirations of women and help them realise their full potential - through better access to education, decent work, and legal and health services." UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Fillippo Grandi The UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe is one of the organisations that help as quickly as possible on the ground after disasters such as the earthquake in Turkey and Syria. They take into account the specific needs of women - and we would like to support their work. Help women on the run to rebuild their lives - we will match all donations received between 07.03.2023 and 09.03.2023!

Sunny winter days and landscapes covered in snow call for a skiing holiday. Unfortunately, cold temperatures and winter sporting activities are not particularly beneficial for the skin. Icy temperatures, cold air and wearing thick, woollen hats can damage the skin and cause dry, chapped areas. That's why it is vital to take extra care of your skin and invest more time into your skincare routine after a day on the slopes. Give your skin a lit-from-within glow with our après-ski beauty routine on your next skiing trip. Step #1: moisture, moisture and more moisture While skiing, the skin is exposed to icy and especially dry air for hours, which can lead to dehydration and a dull-looking complexion. A high-quality moisturiser is essential to prevent this from occurring. The Vital Facial Cream by NUORI is a lightweight cream that restores the skin's vitality. The cream is formulated with hyaluronic acid that is uniquely split to penetrate deeper into the layers of the skin to restore the skin's natural moisture balance. Discover more moisturisers here. Step #2: renewed glow for your eyes Dark spots may appear under the eyes after 2 days on the slopes and the eye area may appear more lacklustre. The skin around the eyes is particularly sensitive and eye masks can gently pamper tired and stressed eye areas. The Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Hydra-Gel Eye Patches offer an instant boost of freshness and minimise the appearance of fine lines. Their hydrating effect amplifies the sparkle in your eyes again. Browse a wide selection of high-quality eye care products here. Step #3: heavenly soft lips Dry and chapped lips are not only visually unappealing but can also be uncomfortable or even painful. The combination of cold air and damp heat that tends to build up under balaclavas does nothing to prevent your lips from chapping. Rich lip care is therefore a must-have for any asprès-ski beauty ritual. Dr. Jart+'s Ceramidin Lip Pair is designed to intensively nourish dry and dehydrated lips and prevent dryness by forming a protective barrier on the skin. Explore a wide assortment of lip care products here. <![CDATA[Clean Girl Aesthetic]]> 2023-01-26T00:00:00+01:00 2023-01-26T00:00:00+01:00 https://www.cosmeterie.co.uk/info/magazine/clean-girl-aesthetic Cosmeterie uk@cosmeterie.com https://www.cosmeterie.co.uk/ If you're active on social media platforms, like TikTok or Instagram, you've certainly come across the latest trend: Clean Girl Aesthetic.
