As the days get longer and temperatures rise, it’s not just our everyday lives that change \u2013 our skin’s needs change too. Now is the right time for\u00a0spring cleaning for your skin<\/strong>: old, dry cells should be removed, moisture levels optimized, and careful protection from the sun established. This allows your skin to start the new season feeling fresh and balanced.<\/p>\n Skin type determines the care plan<\/strong><\/p>\n When it comes to spring cleaning, skin type remains the most important guideline:<\/p>\n Moisture is a key issue here, so that the skin’s natural processes can \u201ccirculate and flow\u201d unhindered again.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Spring cleaning does\u00a0not necessarily mean more intensive cleansing<\/strong>. It is sufficient to use a gentle exfoliant\u00a0once or twice a week<\/strong>\u00a0to remove dead skin cells, remove the \u201cgray veil\u201d of winter, and stimulate cell renewal.<\/p>\n Mild enzyme exfoliants are considered gentler than fruit acid exfoliants in spring \u2013 for all skin types:<\/p>\n Exfoliating too vigorously can strip away too much of the skin’s natural protective barrier.<\/p>\n Enzyme peels work without mechanical rubbing:<\/p>\n Papain<\/strong>\u00a0is extracted from the juice of the papaya plant and breaks down proteins in the horny layer.<\/p>\n Bromelain<\/strong>, the protein complex from pineapple, promotes exfoliation by breaking down the bonds between horny cells.<\/p>\n Application:<\/strong>\u00a0Lather in the evening after cleansing, leave on for a short time, then rinse thoroughly.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pineapple extract<\/u><\/p>\n INCI:<\/strong>\u00a0Ananas Sativus (Pineapple) Fruit Extract<\/em><\/p>\n Effect:<\/strong>\u00a0Mild exfoliation through bromelain, antioxidant properties, moisturizing, smoothing.<\/p>\n Papaya<\/u><\/p>\n INCI:<\/strong>\u00a0Carica Papaya Fruit Extract<\/em><\/p>\n Effect:<\/strong>\u00a0Gentle, enzymatic exfoliation through papain, hydrating and regenerating.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mechanical exfoliants can be useful for normal, combination, or oily skin. They are based on granular substances such as:<\/p>\n Such scrubs remove superficial cell deposits, open clogged pores, and promote blood circulation. Important:\u00a0do not rub too vigorously<\/strong>\u00a0to avoid overproduction of sebum.<\/p>\n Luffa sponges, shower gels with plant-based granules, or a soft raw silk glove also stimulate the body and remove rough areas.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n There is no need to completely change your daily facial cleansing routine in spring:<\/p>\n Cleansing oils can also be used on oily skin as they are anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and do not clog pores.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The transition from winter to spring can be stressful for sensitive skin. Soothing and regenerating substances are particularly important now:<\/p>\n Evening primrose oil<\/strong><\/p>\n INCI: Oenothera Biennis Oil<\/p>\n Has a soothing, regenerating effect and softens the skin.<\/p>\n Borage oil<\/strong><\/p>\n INCI:<\/strong>\u00a0Borago Officinalis Seed Oil<\/em><\/p>\n Strengthens the skin barrier and has an anti-inflammatory effect.<\/p>\n Grape seed oil<\/strong><\/p>\n INCI:<\/strong>\u00a0Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil<\/em><\/p>\n Has a moisturizing and antioxidant effect and promotes healing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Peptides are becoming increasingly important in skin care. They:<\/p>\n Examples:\u00a0Tetrapeptide-21<\/strong>,\u00a0Copper Tripeptide-1<\/strong>,\u00a0Acetyl Tripeptide-33<\/strong>,\u00a0Acetyl Tripeptide-49<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 well tolerated and easy to incorporate into creams, serums, or gels.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Beta-glucan<\/strong>\u00a0is a bioactive polysaccharide that is extracted from oats, among other sources. It:<\/p>\n An ideal active ingredient for stressed, sensitive, or heavily stressed skin in spring.<\/p>\n INCI:<\/strong>\u00a0Beta-glucan<\/em><\/p>\n Effect:<\/strong>\u00a0Moisturizing, immune-boosting, barrier-restoring<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Skin care can also be supported internally:<\/p>\n Aloe vera juice<\/strong>\u00a0is a valuable source of over 160 vital substances, including vitamins, enzymes, amino acids, and polysaccharides such as\u00a0acemannan<\/strong>. It promotes cell metabolism, immune function, blood circulation, and regeneration.<\/p>\n INCI:<\/strong>\u00a0Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract<\/em><\/p>\n Effect:<\/strong>\u00a0Moisturizing, regenerating, anti-inflammatory, cooling, skin-soothing<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Spring cleaning your skincare routine also means:<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49\u00a0Reviewing your beauty routine<\/strong><\/p>\n This ensures that only effective, skin-friendly formulations are included in your routine.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The start of the brighter, warmer season is a joy\u2014and a challenge for the skin. Spring cleaning means providing the skin with:<\/p>\n Cosmacon<\/strong>\u00a0formulates<\/a>\u00a0care products that strengthen your skin throughout the spring \u2013 with active ingredients that protect the barrier, reduce irritation, and support natural regeneration.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
