Why should we use cosmetic products?

Cosmetics play an important role in our daily skin care. However, it is important to choose products that do not contain harmful ingredients that could affect the health of the skin.

Our ancestors spent a lot of time outdoors and were constantly exposed to the sun during the summer. Despite the lack of modern cosmetic products, they often had healthy skin.

In the last 60 years, however, our living conditions have changed drastically. We spend most of our time indoors, which makes our skin less exposed to the natural seasons. Wind, rain, snow, ice and sun hardly affect our skin today, which makes it less "hardened".

Living in offices, vehicles, and homes creates an unnatural environment for our skin. In addition, environmental pollution is increasing and putting a strain on our sensitive skin.

In the past, we bathed no more than once a week, but today we cleanse our skin daily with surfactants. Not only is the protective lipid film of the skin washed out, but the pH value is also changed. This impairs an important protective shield of the skin.

That is why it is necessary to protect our skin with high-quality cosmetic products. In this context, it would be absurd to use cosmetics that have been proven to contain harmful substances. We should only use products with nourishing ingredients in order to contain the stress caused and protect against further damage.

Valuable support from cosmetic products. Cosmetic products can give our skin the support it needs in today's world.

High-quality creams and lotions moisturize and nourish the skin; protect the skin from harmful environmental influences; strengthen and the skin's natural protective barrier.

It's all about the right ingredients.

However, it is important to pay attention to the ingredients of cosmetics. Among other things, silicone oils, parabens, synthetic fragrances and other pollutants can burden the skin and trigger allergies, for example. Quite a few ingredients can have a hormone-altering and carcinogenic effect, especially if used frequently.

Natural alternatives

Therefore, it is better to use cosmetic products with healthy and as natural ingredients as possible, such as jojoba oil, aloe vera or shea butter. These products gently and effectively nourish the skin.
