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!

But, what is the secret behind Korean beauty? While we often rely on products that advertise instant beauty miracles, Korean beauty places great importance on meticulous skincare routines - gentle and thorough cleansing is held in high regard. That's where double-cleansing comes into play. K-Beauty: Better Safe than Sorry! The fundamental and indispensable part of Korean skincare is double cleansing the face. It might sound meticulous at first, but the method has been treasured in South Korea for ages. The first step in your skincare routine should definitely follow the double-cleansing method. Step 1: Oil Cleanser Start your face cleansing ritual with an oil-based product, such as face oil, cleansing balm or cleansing sorbet. Oil-based formulas are particularly gentle on the skin and nourish it optimally using rich ingredients. Our product recommendation: Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil by Skin1004. The cleanser contains valuable oils that are rich in antioxidants and supplies the skin with moisture. Step 2: Foam Cleanser Once the oil cleansing step is completed, follow up with a water-based cleansing foam or gel. Take your time during this cleansing step by gently massaging the product into the skin using circular motions. K-Beauty routines are targeted towards not straining or drying out the skin. This avoids damaging the skin's protective barrier and acid mantle. Our product recommendation: Honest Cleansing Foam by Benton. The cleanses and moisturises the skin at the same time. The secret to Korean skincare lies in the double-cleansing method. When incorporating this method into your skincare routine, focus on cleansing the skin in a gentle manner and using products with natural ingredients. Korean cosmetics are perfect for achieving extraordinary results.

These external elements result in very dry, straw-like strands. Dandruff is often present during the colder months of the year. To effectively care for your hair we suggest the use of a moisturising shampoo, intensive-care conditioner, using hair masks regularly and include, for instance, apricot kernel or almond oils for an added hair care boost. Of particular importance are the ingredients found in the hair care product formulas. Ensure that they are all free from silicones. Silicones wrap around each strand where it forms a film that does not allow other products to penetrate the strands. We suggest opting for more natural alternatives containing high-quality ingredients. Cosmeterie Tip: Shiny hair - after shampooing and conditioning the hair give it a final rinse using cold water. In doing so, the hair follicle is sealed which in turn boosts shine.

However, keep in mind that exposure to the sun, warmer temperatures and saltwater can take a toll on our skin and hair. Therefore, it is essential to take proper care of your hair and skin during and after long, lazy days at the beach or at the pool. Tip #1: Enjoy the sun - with caution! Sunbathing is one of the things we love about summer. However, it is important to be aware that exposure to UVA and UVB rays damage the skin. Therefore, it is a MUST to wear sun protection. The Air Fit UV Defense Sun Cream with SPF 50 by Benton protects the skin against sun damage whilst supplying it with sufficient moisture. It is the perfect base for make-up thanks to its light texture. Apply sun cream several times a day to enjoy a carefree day at the beach. Oftentimes, when speaking about taking precautions to avoid sun damage we tend to forget about protecting our lips. The Sunscreen Lip Balm SPF20 by Mimitika provides reliable protection against harmful UV rays whilst shielding the skin against dryness and cracks. Tip #2: Proper after-sun care To provide the skin with intensive care after a long day at the beach, we recommended using a high-quality after-sun product in the evening. The Fresh Sun After Sun by Bio Thai pampers the skin with hydration and restores balance. Tip #3: Regeneration for strained hair A lovely dip in the ocean on a hot summer's day is very inviting. Unfortunately, saltwater extracts moisture from the hair which gives it a dry, brittle appearance within a few days. Preserve the hair's natural shine by thoroughly cleansing and conditioning the after swimming. The N°8 Bond Intense 4-in-1 Moisture Mask by Olaplex uses 8-fold patented Bond Building technology to amplify shine, body and suppleness. It provides the hair with the intensive moisture that it needs.

2024-03-26T00:00:00+01:00 2024-03-26T00:00:00+01:00 https://www.cosmeterie.ch/en-CH/info/magazine/sun-protection-during-spring Cosmeterie switzerland@cosmeterie.com https://www.cosmeterie.ch/en-CH Spring is fast approaching and with it longer days filled with sunshine, time spent outdoors and long, relaxing walks. 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.

2023-12-11T00:00:00+01:00 2023-12-11T00:00:00+01:00 https://www.cosmeterie.ch/en-CH/info/magazine/glowing-skin-this-holiday-season Cosmeterie switzerland@cosmeterie.com https://www.cosmeterie.ch/en-CH The Christmas season is a very special time that is best spent with family and friends. 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.
