Who doesn’t dream of a flawless even, radiant complexion ? But you would have to be a top model or movie star for that… Wrong! It is a common misconception that skin problems are primarily genetic and that we therefore have no control over them. In fact, they are only 20 percent genetic and 80 percent lifestyle and environmental factors. The healthy skin you desire is within your reach – just check out our 7 tips for flawless skin !

1. Get Enough Sleep
At night, the skin recovers from the stresses of the day, because most of the cell renewal takes place during sleep. If this process cannot take place properly, the moisture content decreases and visible signs of skin aging such as lines, wrinkles and sallow skin can develop. The level of the stress hormone cortisol also falls at night, giving the skin time to replenish its moisture stores and regenerate.
2. Protect Your Skin From The Sun Every Day
Dermatologists and beauty editors never tire of warning people about harmful solar radiation , and with good reason. After all, it is the main cause of premature skin aging. A day cream with a sun protection factor offers sufficient protection for shorter stays outdoors, but a special sunscreen is recommended for longer outdoor activities. For everyday use, the Blue Therapy Multi-Defender SPF 25 offers comprehensive sun protection against UVA and UVB radiation in a light gel that spreads well on the skin and is quickly absorbed without leaving a greasy film.
3. Be Gentle With Your Skin
Aggressive peelings and soapy cleansers can damage the surface of the skin on the one hand and impair the moisture barrier on the other. We recommend replacing such products with milder formulations that hydrate, nourish and protect the skin. Also, don’t be too rough when removing makeup or massaging your face. Gently glide your hands over your skin with little pressure.
4. Use An Antioxidant Essence
Face essences are the next generation in skin care. Its highly concentrated ingredients penetrate deep into the epidermis and can optimally develop their effect there.
5. Pamper Your Skin With A Mask
Just like serums, face masks are wonderfully suited to provide your skin with high-dose active ingredients.
6. Always Remove Your Makeup
A thorough, effective cleansing ritual is the best remedy for clogged pores, uneven skin texture , redness and general skin irritation. Removing impurities from the skin before bed is especially important as it regenerates and forms new cells overnight.
7. Use Products For Your Skin Type
This should actually go without saying, but you wouldn’t believe how often this advice is ignored. When it comes to skin care, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all solution, and products are tailored to specific skin types for a reason. For example, a cream for dry skin would be too rich for oily skin types, which could clog pores. Conversely, mattifying products can aggravate the condition of dry skin and damage the moisture barrier.
