First aid for tired summer holiday skin

The calendar shows mid-August and soon late summer will knock on the door with its cool mornings. You've been in the sun, eaten lots of delicious food, maybe forgot your skin care routines and just enjoyed life. Although! What does the skin need after a long summer? We have collected a few tips for you. Your skin may be a bit dry and tired after sunbathing. Therefore, it would be a really good idea to have the dead skin cells removed, so that you can focus on the new ones and those that are on their way. In contrast to a scrub, which removes both dead but also healthy skin cells, enzyme peeling does an easy solution to kick-start skin renewal. The enzyme peeling makes channels down through the skin where skin products normally cannot penetrate. Via a controlled concentration of fruit acids, work is done outside the skin but also in the subcutaneous tissue, as the fruit acid creates channels down to the subcutaneous tissue. You get your collagen production stimulated, which tightens the skin and prevents lines. Built into our multi-product, 3IN1, is a moisturizing mask that really penetrates into the lower layers of the skin. Clean off with lukewarm water and prepare for the next step. Let it penetrate well Now you have to make sure to bind the moisture and here a serum is really smart. A serum has a small molecular size and can therefore, more easily than any other product, penetrate into the channels that you have just created with the help of the enzyme peeling. A good serum contributes lots of moisture, nourishment, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. You can also use a facial oil with small molecular size if your skin really needs nourishment. Use a serum or oil that is packed with a little bit of everything in the form of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, and let the product penetrate with a good facial massage. The icing on the cake A good night cream is the alpha and omega to seal the serum or the oil and to create the right finish for your "post-summer holiday skin". Massage the night cream well into the skin - possibly with a facial roller or gua sha stone , and go to sleep so that your skin can really get the optimal conditions to work and recover during the night. Good night and sleep well.

Superfood in season

We believe that health and beauty go hand in hand, which is why we love to eat seasonal foods that are packed with vitamins, minerals and healthy fats. Food that is naturally found in the nature around us and that contributes to healthy skin and body as well as a healthy mind. Nature is currently full of enriching vegetables, berries and fruits, and it's just about letting loose - because we also love to use all of nature's fantastic properties in our skin care. Blueberries - superfood for skin, body and mind One of our favorite berries, which we also use in the SMUK skincare products, is blueberries. Small and delicious, and full of vitamins and antioxidants that, among other things, can restore sun-damaged skin. Blueberries contain a wealth of antioxidants, including phenols and anthocyanins, which can be instrumental in fighting lines, wrinkles and inflammation in the body. The phenols also protect the brain against ageing, while resveratrol can help strengthen the body's ability to fight cancer. Eat them and use them in your skin care Our latest product, SMUK skincare OIL, is filled with wild blueberries from Norway, which both strengthen the elasticity and the collagen level in your skin. The blueberries and their antioxidant effect are, among other things, helps to reduce fine lines in the skin and also protects the skin from harmful environmental influences. The blueberries contain plenty of vitamin C and K, and are said to also have an anti-inflammatory effect, which is particularly beneficial for those who suffer from inflammation, inflammation or redness in the skin. Nourishing and nurturing Since our SMUK skincare OIL has a small molecular size, it easily penetrates the skin and is absorbed faster and better than other oils. OIL also contains oil from both argan and sea buckthorn, which, like the blueberries, are full of antioxidants and vitamins. The kukui nut provides plenty of nutrition and is at the same time anti-inflammatory, connective tissue-strengthening and preventive in relation to fine lines and wrinkles. So - eat lots of blueberries to strengthen your skin from the inside and indulge in products that contain all the good properties from nature, such as blueberry.

Beauty routines with beauty editor for GO Beauty, Camilla Bauer

We've spoken to some of the industry's most skilled beauticians - those who really geek out on effective skin care and products. We start with Camilla Bauer, beauty editor for GO Beauty and Instagrams at @abeautyboost. She knows as well as anyone what gives her beautiful skin and when she shouldn't slack off on her routines. Do you have a beauty ritual? If so, which one? I swear by my Gua sha, both for the face but also for the body. When I'm not using it, I can immediately see it on my skin, especially on my face. The daily massage around the eyes results in far fewer fine lines and a fresh look with a fine glow. How is your morning and evening beauty routine? I have my regular routines, that way I know that I always get to give my skin the love and attention it needs. What works best for me is to do the big work in the evening. In the morning I take a shower, clean my face with a gentle cleanser, then I apply my serum followed by a day cream and a CC cream with spf so that my skin gets a nice even skin tone. In the evening, I cleanse my face and apply a serum or oil, then use my gua sha. The gua sha massage gives me peace and a feeling of pampering that makes it easier to get down to speed after a long day. You can easily use your gua sha without product underneath, I just prefer to have product on the skin. When I've used my Gua sha, I finish with a night cream and then I'm ready for my beauty sleep. What skin care products do you use and why? Because of my job as a beauty editor at GO beauty, I try quite a few different products. However, I use up every single product as I am not in favor of product waste. It is easy to jump around in different products and brands, as I am so spoiled to be able to try a lot of different things. However, I do not do this, as I would like to give the products I test a completely honest and sincere attempt to make a difference. I am a trained beautician, and when I worked as a beautician I always advised my clients to use the product for 2-3 months, as that is the time it takes for your skin to form a completely honest picture of what the various ingredients can do and that I follow the advice myself. Beautiful skin does not come by itself, it requires commitment! When are you happiest with your skin? I'm actually so genetically lucky that I never really have any problems with my skin – Thanks Mom! But having said that, I can tell right away if I slack off on my routines, so I don't! I'm most happy with my skin when I'm not wearing make-up, have a slight complexion and look a little shiny after using a rich cream or oil. I love the fresh look, that's where I feel most fashionable. Has your skincare routine changed over the years - how? I've taken very good care of my skin over the past several years, but the older I've gotten, the more I've become aware of what it takes to keep the skin youthful and healthy. What's your best green/sustainable/free beauty tip? I have become more and more aware of what is bought both when it comes to food, but also when it comes to my skin care routines. We can't save the whole world alone, but if we all think about it and change our habits, I'm sure we can lift the crowd and make our beautiful planet an even better place to be. Today there are many manufacturers that produce much more sustainable products, packaging, cotton pads, cotton buds, toothbrushes made of bamboo and my latest discovery a Paper Water Bottle which is a biodegradable drinking bottle that can be used again and again for up to 2 years, and then it costs only DKK 29 at organicbeautysupply.dk Jump into the sea all year round, it's completely free and your body will thank you for it! Winter bathing makes you happy as the brain reacts to the cold by releasing a lot of signaling substances and hormones, including adrenaline and endorphins. What do you do to pamper yourself and your body/face? As far as possible, I try to get a massage more or less continuously to relieve the sometimes rather tense office body. In addition, a good facial every now and then is a must. A skilled beautician in combination with good products can really do wonders for the skin. It ranges widely from an active fruit acid treatment to a more alternative treatment, where old techniques time and again prove to be able to work magic on the skin. In addition, I prioritize my night's sleep, which is crucial for me to be functional and look fresh.

Women's evening about facial yoga and beauty tools, the hormonal system and the abdomen

Owner of SMUK skincare, Heidi Maltby and holistic skin therapist, Camille Fischer, give you concrete and useful tips on how YOU can get started with facial yoga and beauty tools, as well as a thorough review of our complex hormone system and abdomen. During two exciting hours, you are guided through exercises and interesting knowledge, so that you are ready to get started yourself at home. Facial yoga and beauty tools from SMUK skincare Thursday 14 November from 19.00-21.00, Heidi and Camille will share their extensive knowledge of skin care, hormones, facial yoga and beauty tools. During two exciting hours, Heidi and Kamille review the four themes - Heidi begins with one of the most popular trends in skin care - facial yoga. We often train the body through strength training, running, swimming or yoga/pilates, but we completely forget that the face also needs to be trained and maintained. In addition to the facial yoga, Heidi and Camille will review two popular beauty tools - the facial roller and the gua sha stone from SMUK skincare. In the same way as with facial yoga, we must strengthen and train the facial muscles, connective tissue and microcirculation - here we supplement with an old Chinese tradition in the form of polished stones with different meanings/properties. Ready to experiment with the exercises when you get home You get useful and concrete exercises, all of which are thoroughly reviewed, while you perform the exercises in front of a mirror that will be in your place when you arrive. That way, you are ready to start facial yoga and beauty tools at home. Heidi will particularly focus on: * Tired eyelids, double chin * Forehead wrinkles and the fine lines around the eyes * Strong muscles in and around the mouth and cheekbones * Tight and fine skin on the neck and jawline * How you start the lymph and blood circulation * Cleaning of waste materials * To strengthen and tighten the connective tissue * How to get your face products in by using beauty tools The female body and the female cycle Camille will review and talk about the female cycle, as well as how you can use it as a tool for more balance, pleasure and health in your everyday life. Through greater knowledge of the female body and the changes it undergoes, we can create more vitality and radiance in the skin. Camille will also describe how your cycle is an inherent guide to getting to know yourself and your needs better. With Camille's presentation, you get: * Insight into your body's rhythm and how to use it to your advantage * Tools for a healthy cycle and body * Access to feminine wisdom and strength * Energy to do what you dream of * Help to relieve discomfort before and during menstruation * Exercises that support you in all phases of your cycle The event will be held in Copenhagen - the exact location will be determined according to the number of participants.

BEAUTIFUL skincare 3IN1 - the multi-product you don't want to be without

We would like to present all our SMUK skincare products in a way that leaves you in no doubt about what they can do and why. We begin with one of our newest and best-selling products - the 3IN1 multi-product that cleanses, exfoliates and moisturises. 3IN1 was nominated for Danish Product of the Year at the Danish Beauty Awards in 2019. 3 products in 1 3IN1 is intended as several products in one to save you a lot of products, but also to save on production and packaging. We try to limit production, shipping and packaging as much as possible. 3IN1 is a deep cleansing gel that gently removes make-up, the day's pollution and dead skin cells. It contains antioxidants in the form of vitamins A, B, C and E as well as omega 3 and 6, all of which strengthen and protect the skin against free radicals. The base in 3IN1 is cucumber and marine peptides from clam shells, which help the skin retain moisture and which strengthen the collagen and elastin fibers in the skin. As we strive to be as sustainable as possible, 3IN1 comes in reusable Miron glass. Replace your weekly scrub with a more effective fruit acid peel The powerful papaya complex gives 3IN1 a peeling effect, and therefore you can also use 3IN1 as a fruit acid peeling. In this way, you get both the daily cleansing, the weekly peeling and the always necessary moisture. You will find that your skin is thoroughly cleansed and more moisturised, and after your weekly peelings, the skin has got rid of the dead skin cells that can give a slightly dry/rough surface. Contrary to a scrub, which primarily works on the surface, a fruit acid peel also creates tiny little channels in the skin that allow moisture to better penetrate and penetrate the skin. And precisely the small channels are worth their weight in gold when the skin is currently exposed to changing temperatures in the form of being inside and outside. Through the small channels, you can moisturize the skin and nourish it with a good oil afterwards. This is how you should use it You can choose to use 3IN1 as a daily cleanser morning and/or evening, or as an exfoliating mask. In that case, you must first clean the skin with 3IN1 and water, and then dry the skin. Then apply a thick layer of 3IN1 and let it sit for 10 minutes and clean off with warm water. Your skin may flare up for up to 10-15 minutes after cleansing, but this will quickly disappear again. Free shipping in the shop There is currently free shipping on the shop, so you can have 3IN1 delivered to your nearest parcel box for only DKK 329. Buy it right here.

Facial yoga - when was the last time you exercised your face?

Facial yoga is a natural alternative to botox and fillers. With facial yoga, you train and relax the many different muscles in your face, and you get to train your face in the same way as when you train your body. You strengthen your muscles, tendons and microcirculation, and you get to use the muscles in completely new ways. Clear effect on lines and wrinkles Facial yoga has a positive effect on fine lines and wrinkles. By working through the different muscle groups in the face, you get more glow in the skin and a relaxed face. Having the face stretched and processed using specific and repeated exercises can have a meditative effect, and is a really nice routine to incorporate into your regular skin care routine. BEAUTIFUL skincare facial yoga challenge We really want you to become familiar with face yoga, and for the same reason we have chosen to create a challenge. A challenge where, every week for 6 weeks, you will be sent 2-3 new facial exercises, so that you can gradually build on them. Sign up for our newsletter right here and get started with facial yoga. When the challenge is over, we encourage you to share a before/after photo. Either via social media or via email. Feel free to use the hashtag #smukskincarechallenge so we can find your photos - we'll draw a random winner of our SMUK signature treatment worth DKK 1400 when the last videos are sent out. Get started Start with a single exercise or two and incorporate them in the morning and/or evening. After this, you can build on it so that you feel that you have a fixed routine where you get through approx. 5-10 exercises daily. Because you "only" have to train your face, the training is easy to do during the day - while making breakfast/dinner, on the bike, in the car, when watching TV or when you have finished getting ready for at night and lies in bed. During the next few weeks, you will receive a newsletter every week with a link to new facial exercises on YouTube. That way, you get plenty of time to learn and incorporate your exercises. We hope you want to play along!

Here's your 2020 skincare routine

A lot is written about skin care. All the time. What is good, what is bad and what works? From our point of view, holistic skin care is the way forward - remembering that the skin often reflects how you and your body feel. That you can help it on its way with the right skin care products, nutritional supplements and food. What will YOU focus on in 2020 when it comes to yourself and your skin? We have created a 2020 skin care guide that easily takes you through the skin care tricks that are good to know. When the skin bears the mark of sugar, alcohol and Christmas stress It's no secret that the month of December can be hard on body and soul. Completion of projects at study/work before the Christmas holidays combined with a host of events and parties with lovely food, alcohol and sweets. And if you eat fairly sensibly on a daily basis, it can quickly cause challenges for the skin when it tries to get rid of waste products - often through the skin in the form of blackheads, acne and eczema. White January In recent years, more and more people have avoided alcohol in the month of January in an attempt to let the body rest under the name "white January". We believe more in a balanced intake all year round, but if you're up for a challenge, give it a try. After all, you can choose whether you want to give up alcohol, sugar, wheat or something completely different during January. Either way, the body can benefit from a bit of rest after a hectic December. Top up with the good nutritional supplements Another thing that can support your body - and your skin, is food supplements. In our view, they help to provide all the good vitamins and minerals that you may be deficient in. Organic oils, multivitamins, hyaluronic acid, lactic acid bacteria and collagen all help to support your skin and make it look even more healthy and vital. Several manufacturers also make tablets that specifically boost the skin, hair and nails. Cleanse and exfoliate your skin  As a really good 2020 skin care routine, you must clean the skin well in the morning and evening, but also more thoroughly 1-2 times a week. Some prefer a scrub that cleans the surface of the skin. We recommend one  clean with enzyme peeling , which creates small channels down to the subcutaneous tissue, which can therefore better accept the subsequent product in the form of serum, oil or day cream. In this way, you get all the good things like with a scrub, but you also get just the extra in the form of the channels that open down to the subcutaneous tissue, where products otherwise have difficulty penetrating. Move  Movement is not only good for the skin. It is actually good for everything - bones, muscles, joints, blood circulation and not least your mood. Get the blood circulating with running, yoga, boxing, reforms or a brisk walk. It all counts. Beauty tools 2019 was full of inspiring articles and posts about beauty tools. And the hype around beauty tools doesn't stop in 2020 - whether you're into face rollers or the slightly more advanced gua sha stones, it's an excellent routine to incorporate into your 2020 skin care. You get to strengthen your connective tissue, microcirculation, blood circulation and the cell tissue in the skin. And you will quickly be able to see the difference in your skin before and after using beauty tools. There is simply more flow in the skin and you can see it! And we hope you have the most wonderful year!

Seven quick tips for a better night's sleep

You know it well. You've spent the night tossing and turning, been up and peeing, and now you've gone back to bed. You keep turning and turning, but it helps just a little. It's another night without coherent sleep and you wake up like a zombie. What to do? It's not just your skin that suffers from lack of sleep - your whole body is affected by it. We have therefore collected our best tips for a better sleep, which should make you relax. The amount of stress hormones drops when you are in deep sleep. 7 tips for better sleep 1. Go to bed at a decent time, around 10 p.m., so you don't stress about having gone to bed too late. You don't have to go to sleep right away, but you can lie down with a book, meditate or do something else that seems nice and relaxing to you. Between 10.00pm and 6.00am, cortisol production is at its lowest level and it is therefore important that you relax during that time. In this way, estrogen production can peak between midnight and 3am. Estrogen is important for collagen production, which we need especially after the age of 40. Here, we lose collagen in the skin, which means less firm skin. 2. Drop the mobile phone and buy yourself an alarm clock. The mobile's bright light (even if you set it to night mode) and all its exciting information seem the opposite of relaxing. The blue light from the mobile phone screen inhibits the secretion of the sleep hormone melatonin. Instead, enjoy screen-free time and get ready to sleep without impressions from the world's news, text messages from friends and notifications from Instagram and Facebook. 3. Go to bed in a cool and clean bedroom. Air out well before you go to bed and tidy up so it's nice to be in. 4. Cut out caffeinated drinks after 4pm and other liquids after 8pm. That way, you might be able to get rid of thoughts and having to get up to pee. 5. If you have a sedentary job, try to find time to go for a walk during the day. Exercise does wonders for the body, so it is tired in the evening. Both body and mind must be tired and made ready for sleep. 6. Do you have small children who sleep badly? It's just a phase and you'll soon get back to sleep :-) 7. Shut out the light and thoughts with a sleep mask. SMUK skincare has designed soft, sustainable and unique eye masks out of vintage Japanese kimonos from the 1920s. 'Beauty sleep mask' are 100% natural. With silk inside and outside and wool between the silk fabrics , the skin can breathe freely. There are no annoying closures, stitching or strings that tighten when you wear the mask. Use it before you go to sleep or anytime you need to relax. All masks are unique and with different patterns and colors, and there is therefore only one of each Beauty sleep mask.

SKIN CARE FOR YOUR SKI HOLIDAY

Are you one of the lucky ones who will soon be going on a wonderful skiing holiday? Snow, sun and frost are classic elements of a ski holiday, but your skin may need a little extra care to prepare for and get used to the new temperatures and the bright sun. Your face is also on skis One of the best things about being on a skiing holiday is, of course, skiing. As much as possible and preferably all day. Normally you might be at work or studying, so just being outside most of the day can be a bit of an upheaval for the skin. Although the body is covered in ski clothing, the face is exposed to the cold. And especially if you are on the slopes for a long time. And when you come in for après-ski, it's suddenly warm and nice, and your skin has to get used to going from freezing to warm. Prepare yourself before you leave Just as you have, hopefully, prepared yourself physically to go on a skiing holiday, it is also a really good idea to prepare your skin. Start already a week before departure with one enzyme peeling , so you get the skin thoroughly cleansed. With the enzyme peeling, small channels are made down to the subcutaneous tissue, so that you can really moisturize it. Use the products that you like and that you know provide plenty of moisture. It could be that you have a favorite moisturizing mask or a serum that really boosts and moisturizes. If you are into the slightly more greasy feeling, then you can use it to your advantage a facial oil after your moisturizing mask or serum. Or mix a few drops of the oil into your day cream. If you are into beauty tools, give it gas. Regardless of whether you use a face roller or one gua sha stone , so have a product underneath. Preferably an oil or a balm, as they work well with beauty tools, so you don't stretch the skin. With beauty tools, you work the products into the skin and release the skin's natural hyaluron, which moisturizes from within. Just as you might take extra lactic acid bacteria when you go on holiday in the sun to prepare your stomach for the new bacteria, you can do the same here. Prepare your skin for the changing temperatures and boost it from within. When the sun is shining, the snow is new and you are ready for the slopes Start by cleansing your skin and then give it all it can get from products that moisturize. Serum, oil, day cream (or day cream mixed with oil) eye cream, lip balm and finally sunscreen. We always recommend an organic sunscreen with a physical sun filter of spf 15 or spf 30, as it is the best for you and the environment. We have previously written a post about the difference between the physical and chemical/synthetic filters - read it here . Good night and sleep well Always remember to clean the skin and give it plenty of moisture and nourishment at night. In this way, you prepare the skin for the next day of skiing.

OIL - the golden drops that your skin will not want to live without

Although we don't have snow and freezing weather as far as the eye can see, winter is upon us with cold and wind. You can perhaps feel and see on your skin that it feels extra dry and tight when you step out of the bath in the morning? Maybe the skin is peeling or it looks lifeless and sad? It can be difficult to find the right products for dry winter skin - should you, for example, choose a product based on fat or on moisture? If you have oily skin, you may avoid oil-based products for fear that the skin will then produce even more oil. But it's a bit of a stretch. The more you wash and cleanse the skin, the more sebum it produces to maintain a natural pH balance. So often, oily skin can easily handle a product based on fat, it may even need it. And then you can always, when spring comes and the skin is no longer so dry, switch to a product without oil in it. Why face oil? Facial oil supplies the skin with lots of fatty acids, moisture, nutrition and antioxidants, so that it is optimally protected against external challenges such as wind and weather, radiators, pollution, make-up, stoves, radiation from electronics and poor indoor climate. It is always a good idea to protect your skin with good products, but in the cold months the skin needs a little extra protection. A good tip for choosing a facial oil is that you should not use body oils on the face. They are often based on fatty oils, which have difficulty penetrating the skin and therefore settle on top of the skin. It is also a good idea to stay away from the mineral oils, as they cannot be absorbed into the skin either and can therefore also clog the pores. A mixture of several oils that together boost your skin Our oil, BEAUTIFUL skincare OIL, can be used all year round. Several of the added oils have a small molecular size, which means that the oil penetrates easily and quickly into the skin. In this way, it does not just lay on top of the skin and skate around, as you can otherwise experience with other oils. It is packed with the best ingredients and together the ingredients form a strong shield against wind and weather. When only the best is good enough Organic, active and natural ingredients are the way forward in relation to skin care - at least we think so. Argan oil and sea buckthorn oil are full of vitamins and antioxidants, while argan oil also contains omega 6, which is a sebum-regulating, moisturizing and essential fatty acid. And because the argan oil regulates the skin's sebum production, it is also suitable for those with combination/oily skin. Oil from the kukui nut has anti-inflammatory properties, is moisturizing, moisture-binding, connective tissue-strengthening and preventive in relation to wrinkles. Wild blueberries from Norway act as a delicious and powerful antioxidant that both strengthens the elasticity and the collagen level in the skin. How to use your facial oil Use your favorite face oil in the morning if you tend to have dry skin or when wind and weather invite a little extra protection. And also feel free to use it in the evening for extra nourishment under your night cream and massage it well into the skin. If you have a beauty tool, you can use it on top of the facial oil, so that you really work the oil into and down the skin.

Beauty sleep mask - a welcome friend when summer time hits in a week

Even though the world is currently turned upside down, it doesn't change the fact that it will soon be summer time again! On March 29, it is official summer time, which means, as always, that you must set your clocks one hour forward on the night between Sunday and Monday. It also means it gets dark later, which can be annoying if you have trouble falling asleep. However, we have found a really delicious solution to the summertime problem - a solution that is both comfortable, sustainable and easy to take with you, regardless of where the bright light teases you. Soft, sustainable and your new best sleeping friend Beauty sleep mask is a soft and unique sleeping mask made from vintage Japanese kimonos from the 1920s. All masks have different prints and colors on both sides, and silk inside and outside for extra comfort. The materials in the Beauty sleep mask are 100% natural and there is therefore room for the skin to breathe freely and the eyes to get the rest they need. Handmade with the finest details The masks are also hand-sewn and up-cycled in Frederiksberg, and comfort and convenience have really been thought about in the masks. You won't find any strings that tighten or annoying seams - the masks come in the softest and most beautiful materials.  Take your Beauty sleep mask with you when you need a moment's rest. It comes in a nice little bag, so you can easily carry it with you in your bag. And then enjoy that summer is finally on its way.

Here, there and everywhere - beauty tools!

A good skin care routine involves many things, but first of all you have to create a routine and follow it. Next, you have to find and try the products that you think suit you and your skin. It's all about feel, scent, texture and effect. Once you've found the routine that works best for you, you can start introducing a few new elements. Benefit from your products Because why spend time exfoliating, moisturizing and nourishing if you don't give the products the best opportunity to penetrate and sink into the skin? The beauty trend of the last few years has been about beauty tools - products that can really make your skin care routine more efficient. And why then? We take a closer look at two of the most popular beauty tools - the facial roller and the gua sha stone. With a face roller or a gua sha stone, you get your products in while giving the skin a facial massage. The face roller is a little easier to use, as you "just" have to roll across the face, while the gua sha stone requires a little more practice and works deeper on the connective tissue. Gua sha stone It originally comes from China, where gua means "to scratch" and sha means "red spots/redness". Gua sha is a massage technique where you scrape upwards and outwards, use acupuncture points and work on the lymphatic system. Strengthen your connective tissue The gua sha works on the connective tissue and stimulates the lymphatic system, and the special movements help the waste products out of the lymph nodes and into the general circulation, from where they are excreted. Use the gua sha stone to loosen the connective tissue and to strengthen the microcirculation in your face. Using your movements with the gua sha, you work on the connective tissue, which is said to have a firming effect. Your muscles are left relaxed and with a glow that testifies that the microcirculation has been started. Gua sha stones come in different shapes and colors, and in different types of stones. If you have a clinic where you receive regular facial treatments, let your therapist choose your gua sha stone or read more about which stones suit you and your needs. Application Use your gua sha on a cleansed face, but always with a face oil underneath. Then you help the product to penetrate better and you ensure that the gua sha has a surface that slides better, so that you don't pull on the skin. Roll for life with a face roll Another popular beauty trend is the Chinese facial roller. They are made from different stones that all have different meanings in the same way as with the gua sha stone. The rollers also originate from China, where they have been used for years to stimulate the microcirculation and musculature in the face. Some compare the effect of the rollers to an effective round of facial strength training. When you roll across the face, you strengthen microcirculation, which improves your cellular tissue. After using the roller for a while, you will see and feel the tightening effect. Due to the increased blood circulation gives you even more glow in the skin and the muscles seem more relaxed. If you put the roll in the fridge before use, it will be cool and invigorating - really smart if you have swelling around the eyes! Application Always use your favorite facial roller on a cleansed face and preferably with a product under e.g. a serum or an oil. In this way, you help the product to penetrate and sink into the skin. Become an expert in beauty tools at home We have created an online course in beauty tools, so you can get started at home yourself. We review everything from the meaning of the different stones, why you should start with your beauty tool tonight, and what you can expect from positive skin benefits.

Our face creams are finally a reality!

So the summer holidays are almost over and we hope that you have had the most wonderful one FILLED with everything that a summer holiday contains for you. Our long-awaited face creams have FINALLY landed in the shop and in the store on Gammel Kongevej! Hopefully you will want to stop by Gammel Kongevej - or at one of our other dealers around the country, so you can really feel the texture, scent, effect and skin-feel of the creams. BEAUTIFUL skincare LIGHT & RICH The creams have been given the names "LIGHT & RICH" as they have different consistencies and structures. This makes them super suitable as spring/summer cream and autumn/winter cream respectively. If you need an extra fat and nourishing cream all year round, you can of course use RICH all year round, just as you can use LIGHT with advantage if you think a nourishing and fat cream gives your skin extra challenges. However, both creams are packed with nurturing, organic and natural ingredients that your skin will thank you for. Marine complex, wild blueberries, sea buckthorn and red willow bark LIGHT and RICH contain a prebiotic marine complex that moisturizes, tightens and reduces redness in the skin. The complex consists of of brown and green algae and marine saccharides. It is a so-called "food package" for the good bacteria in the skin, which ensure the right balance in the skin. Delicious oils from i.a. sea ​​buckthorn, wild blueberries and coconut add glow and suppleness to the skin - and at the same time strengthen resistance to aging due to the high content of A, B3, C and E vitamins. The B3 vitamin, niacinamide, is also an eminent helper for skin that needs balance. The "new" kid in the class As something completely new, we have added 'red willow bark', which gives the creams a delicious, warm colour, but which also has an inhibitory effect on inflammation and redness - the creams are therefore also beneficial for people with eczema or acne. LIGHT & RICH's content of the natural sun filter, zinc oxide, also makes them usable both morning and evening. They do not clog the skin as other sunscreens can tend to do, as the filters are natural and not synthetic. LIGHT is recommended for those with normal/combination skin, while RICH is recommended for those with normal/mature skin. Both creams contain 50 ml. and costs DKK 499. Buy them right here!

Meet Heidi, founder and founder of SMUK skincare

“I want to create a small but effective skincare range. It must contain pure, organic and active ingredients, be sustainable and of course produced in Denmark". That's what skin specialist and founder of SMUK skincare, Heidi Maltby, thought almost 7 years ago before she seriously started developing her own skin care range. Together with some of Denmark's best biochemists, she has developed SMUK skincare, which today includes 10 face and body products as well as 9 beauty tools. Another category has just been added to the portfolio in the form of soft and sustainable silk masks made from beautiful vintage kimonos from Japan. Before long, two more facial products are on the way, so the store is busy, so to speak. SMUK skincare won the award for Danish Product of the Year at the Danish Beauty Awards back in 2017 for the popular Vitamin Booster Serum and was once again nominated for the same award in 2019 for the multifunctional cleansing product 3IN1. When you have had hundreds of women through your hands Heidi is also the owner of the popular beauty clinic, Naturlig Smuk, on Frederiksberg Allé, where she treats many women and also quite a few men. Through working with countless clients and several different organic skincare ranges, Heidi long dreamed of creating a range that contained all the elements, sensations, scents and ingredients that she could not find in other skincare ranges. A range that was reasonably priced and which was only to be sold in Heidi's own clinic and at selected dealers. "It must be an exclusive and luxury-like feeling you get when you use the products. It should really feel like you are doing something good for yourself and your skin. Which you also do", says Heidi. Own shop and even more products on the way The dream is to expand the brand with even more organic, effective and sustainable products and so far it seems to be succeeding. In the spring of 2020, SMUK skincare opened the first store/showroom at Gammel Kongevej 153 in the heart of Copenhagen. Here, there is only room for BEAUTIFUL skincare products - and there is room for even more. Heidi has children Olivia and Viggo with her husband, Lars, and together they all live with the dog Luna in a house by Lake Damhussøen. Before long, the last new products will land in the store and on the website - two organic face creams, one LIGHT and one RICH. They contain a natural sunscreen SPF15, as Heidi is not a fan of synthetic (chemical) sunscreens. In short, she believes that our skin needs even more ecology, naturalness and sustainability, and much less chemistry, waste and quick fixes. And she is well on her way!

SMUK skincare supports Joannahuset - Denmark's first children's and youth centre

At SMUK skincare, we believe that you should help where you can. That is why we have chosen to support Joannahuset, which is a fantastic initiative for children and young people under the age of 18.

Always ready with what the young people need When you really need help or support, it is not always at the most appropriate times of the day.

SMUK skincare launches sustainable beauty bags

This summer we added another product category to our beauty universe, which in addition to skin care products also includes Beauty tools and Beauty sleep masks. We are so proud to be able to supply you with extra delicious textiles that do not compromise on quality, sustainability or prints and colours. We thought there was a lack of a sustainable and beautiful beauty bag - which can be used both as a make-up bag or as a clutch when you're on the go. Beauty bag 'Beauty bag' is the newest addition to our range of sustainable textiles that will add more beauty and comfort to your everyday life. All Beauty bags are made from vintage silk kimonos from Japan dating from the 1920s-1940s. The silk fabric is beautiful and with the finest colors and patterns - each individual Beauty bag is carefully selected based on the composition of texture, color and pattern. There is therefore also only one of each Beauty bag. Use it for everyday or parties - for make-up or smaller necessities The beauty bag comes in two different sizes, and can therefore be used both as a practical make-up purse/toilet bag or as a nice clutch/party bag. Perfect for all your cosmetics or for wallets, keys and hand sanitizer. Upcycled in Frederiksberg So that we can follow the design process ourselves and ensure proper working conditions for the seamstresses, all Beauty bags are upcycled in Frederiksberg. There is therefore no intermediate link apart from the transport from Japan to Denmark. Internship & awards The bags measure approx. 20x15 cm. and 27x20 cm. and has one large room for all the necessities. The bag closes with a fine zipper, which ensures that no contents fall out and get lost. You can easily wash the bag gently on a wool wash at 30 degrees if it should get dirty. The small Beauty bags cost DKK 475 and the large ones cost DKK 525 - see all the fine bags right here.

SEAWEED - the wonder of the sea

We know that more and more of you demand natural ingredients in your skin care. And preferably ingredients that have a visible and noticeable effect. One of the ingredients that is actually found in Denmark and that you can easily grab and make use of is.... seaweed! The wonder remedy of the sea, which can both be eaten and do a lot of good in your skin care products. Isn't seaweed something that lies on the beach and in the ocean? Yes, but it also has a lot of fantastic properties if you eat it or choose to put it in your skin care. Or we do it for you. Seaweed "communicates" with our cells, as our cell membranes are similar. When the cells come into contact, a change occurs so that our cells can absorb all the good elements from the seaweed or algae extract, as it is also called. Seaweed and algae contain 10 times as many minerals as any plant on land and are full of vitamins, antioxidants, proteins and fatty acids. Algae extract also has an antibacterial and detoxifying effect, which has a regenerative effect while retaining moisture in the skin. LIGHT & RICH is filled with seaweed Did you know that our latest products, the face creams LIGHT & RICH, are filled with the goodness of the sea? In the form of a prebiotic marine complex that i.a. consists of brown and green algae. And in addition also marine saccharides, which are a so-called packed lunch for the good bacteria in the skin. The marine complex moisturizes the skin and reduces redness and irritation thanks to the brown algae that, among other things, is known for being able to stimulate blood circulation locally as well as tighten and smooth the skin with a calming effect. The green algae, also called green caviar, has a high content of vitamins A, C and E, increases the skin's elasticity and fights lines and wrinkles. And - then they protect against the harmful free radicals. Try them As you may have already guessed, we are quite proud that our creams are packed with the super-ingredients from the sea - nature itself, which does not require extensive processing or long transport and thus also CO2 emissions. We recommend you to try LIGHT or RICH, or both, to really see and feel the effect on YOUR skin. We also love rice and praise, so please write to us if you have comments about our products. ATTENTION! We also have red seaweed in our SERUM for the firming effect and ability to retain moisture in the skin.

Christmas gift ideas from SMUK skincare

Christmas is just around the corner and we are so looking forward to seeing all the beautiful Christmas lights on the streets and alleys. And of course, we are also looking forward to everything else that comes with December, such as glögg, apple slices, Christmas cheer and Christmas presents. We've rounded up a few of our favorite products that will really bring joy under the Christmas tree. All the selected products are multi-products that can be used in several ways. GOLDEN MOMENTS A thoughtful little Christmas present or Advent present for her who has everything, but still lacks a little sparkle in everyday life. GOLDEN MOMENTS cares for, protects and moisturizes your dry winter lips with a multitude of delicious oils. Smells mildly of ginger and tangerine, and then it can be used anywhere else on the body/face where a little glitter might be needed. Blue. as a regular part of a healthy and organic makeup routine - dab a little on the cheekbones, in the inner corner of the eye, on the cupid's bow or under the outermost, thinnest part of your eyebrows. In this way, elements of the face that could easily use a little shine are highlighted. When the weather gets milder, GOLDEN MOMENTS can also be used on the collarbone, chest and rounding of the shoulders. Read more or buy GOLDEN MOMENTS here. 15 ml. DKK 179 OIL If there's anything our skin needs over the winter, it's plenty of nourishment and plenty of moisture. The cold air dries out the skin at the same time that we spend a lot of time indoors, which also helps to dry out the skin. Maybe we don't drink enough water either? Remember the good vitamins and nutritional supplements, and put everything into effective and moisturizing skin care. OIL is therefore an excellent Christmas/Advent gift, as it is suitable for all skin types - even the oilier ones. Our oil is composed of several different oils, all of which have a small molecular size, which means that the oil easily penetrates into the skin. It therefore does not lie around and get greasy. Filled with antioxidants and vitamins Argan and sea buckthorn oil are packed with vitamins and antioxidants - argan oil keeps, among other things, on the moisture, while a single sea buckthorn berry contains as many C vitamins as a whole orange. Kukui nut oil is anti-inflammatory, connective tissue-strengthening and has a preventive effect on wrinkles. The delicious, wild blueberries from Norway strengthen the elasticity and the colleague level in the skin and they are a very powerful antioxidant. OIL is perfect for morning and evening use and if you don't like the delicious and slightly oily feeling, you can put a few drops of oil in the day cream so that you still get the effect of all the good properties of the oil. Feel free to also use the oil on the dry cuticles on the hands and feet and dab the remaining oil into the dry ends of the hair. Read more or buy OIL right here. 50 ml. DKK 549 BEAUTY BEHIND A third Christmas/Advent gift idea is our newest initiative within sustainable textiles for the conscious woman. Beauty bag, like our Beauty sleep mask, is made from vintage silk kimonos from Japan. The silk fabric is beautiful and simple, and each individual Beauty bag is carefully selected based on texture, color and pattern. There is therefore only one of each Beauty bag - so you have to be quick if you have found a pattern that just suits you, sister, mother or friend. Upcycled in Frederiksberg So that we can follow the design process ourselves and ensure proper working conditions for the seamstresses, all the bags are upcycled in Frederiksberg. There are therefore no intermediaries beyond Japan and Frederiksberg. Internship & awards The beauty bag comes in two different sizes, and can therefore be used both as a practical make-up purse/toilet bag or as a nice clutch/party bag. You decide for yourself how it creates the most joy for you. The bags measure approx. 20x15 and 27x20, and has one large room for all the necessities. The bag closes with a fine zipper, which ensures that no contents fall out and get lost. Gently wash your Beauty bag on a wool wash at 30 degrees. See all the nice bags here. Small Beauty bag costs 475 k., while the large one costs 525 kroner. 3IN1 Just as our skin needs lots of nourishment over the winter, it also needs to be cleaned properly throughout. Away with dirt, pollution and all the dead skin cells that just lie on the surface and make the skin look dull. 3IN1 is the multi product that both saves you space and gives you three facial products in one. Firstly, 3IN1 is a daily cleanser that easily and effectively removes the day's dirt and any makeup residue. But 3IN1 can also function as an effective enzyme peeling that cleans in depth and removes dead skin cells. A powerful papaya complex ensures the exfoliating effect. A few times a week you clean off and then apply a good layer of 3IN1, which sits and tingles and works for 10-15 minutes. As a final bonus, 3IN1 is also a moisturizing mask, which means you don't need to use a separate moisturizing mask a few times a week. You are amply covered with 3IN1 and the base of cucumber and marine peptides from seashells that really hydrate and retain moisture.  Read more about 3IN1 here. 100 ml. DKK 329 ROSE QUARTZ FACE ROLLER Another multi-product that can also bring joy under the Christmas tree is a beauty tool. We have many different face rollers and gua shas, ​​but one of our favorite tools - and perhaps the one that suits Christmas, the feast of hearts, is the rose quarter face roller. For us, it symbolizes everything that Christmas is about - love for yourself and for others. Rose quartz symbolizes love, forgiveness, calm and harmony. The facial roller is used to stimulate the microcirculation and musculature in the face and to provide facial acupressure and lymphatic drainage. When you strengthen the microcirculation, you also strengthen the cell tissue. Your skin gets lots of glow from the increased blood flow. Use morning and evening on a cleansed face - feel free to put it in the fridge before use, so you really get the feeling of a fresh start to the day. See all our beauty tools incl. face rolls here. The rose quartz facial roller costs DKK 499. LIGHT & RICH Last but not least, we would like to give a shout out to our newest products, the two face creams, LIGHT & RICH. They can both be used morning and evening and contain a natural SPF15, so you don't have to worry about sunscreen in the dark months when the sun's rays are still peeking out. Both creams contain a prebiotic marine complex that moisturises, nourishes and tightens, while brown and green algae ensure the right balance in the skin. Oils from sea buckthorn, wild blueberries and coconut give the skin plenty of glow and suppleness while helping the skin's resistance to ageing. Red willow bark is added to inhibit inflammation in the skin and thus makes the creams particularly suitable for people with eczema or acne. Massage the creams well into the skin so that the skin is thoroughly moisturised afterwards. LIGHT is recommended for normal/combination skin while RICH is recommended for normal/mature skin. 50 ml. DKK 499

BEAUTIFUL signature treatment - time for yourself and your needs in December?

Christmas is just around the corner, which can mean that many of us are facing a really busy time. There will be Christmas fun and gifts bought, and perhaps family trips over Christmas and New Year must also be planned. At the same time, it is a dark and often cold time that characterizes the month of December - it is often dark when you get up and when you go to bed. The energy level may also not be the same as it is in the summer, and December can therefore easily become more of a nuisance than a joy. Me time So - we think it is appropriate that you also prioritize yourself and your needs? It can be all sorts of different things you deal with, as long as you relax, get into gear and get your mind at ease. Some prefer a long and refreshing walk, others dream of lying on the sofa with a cup of tea and a good book/series or maybe take a trip to the swimming pool and then sauna. We have put together a treatment that really exudes me-time and calm for the nervous system. It gives you plenty of space to relax and afterwards you are refueled with warmth and a glowing, vital skin. BEAUTIFUL signature treatment All products in the treatment are developed and manufactured in Denmark and are organic, sustainable and natural. During the treatment, various complex techniques are used that stimulate and process the many layers of the skin. The face is worked through using in-depth facial massage and gua sha stones, which work on the connective tissue and stimulate the lymphatic system. Hot stones are a fantastic source of heat in the cold weather and they warm your body through, so that the blood circulation can run freely and the heat spreads to the whole body. And warmth goes so well with being relaxed - right into the muscles. Your organ zones are processed under the feet to more easily stimulate the skin from within. Finally, the acupressure points on the face are stimulated so that your skin is left moisturized with fewer lines and even more glow. The treatment lasts 105 relaxing minutes and costs DKK 1495 - read more about the treatment  right here.

SERUM - your best friend for dry winter skin

2021 is finally a reality and we are looking forward to a brand new year with lots of new opportunities and experiences that are just waiting to be fulfilled. You have hopefully had a wonderful Christmas and a festive New Year - perhaps you have slacked off a little on the regular skin care routines and the nutritious and healthy diet? One of the things that the skin is almost 100% sure to lack is moisture. It lacks moisture because we forgot to drink lots of water and because we have been indoors more than outdoors. And then because we may have forgotten to moisturize the skin with some of our good and effective products. SERUM One of our best selling products is the SERUM. It won the award for 'Best Danish Product' at the Danish Beauty Awards 2017 and is therefore also a bit of a favorite among some of you. SERUM feels like a mixture between a serum and an oil and is full of vitamins A, B3, C and E. Due to the high content of vitamins, it can boost and restore your skin's natural moisture balance. Sea buckthorn contains omega 3 and 7 and vitamin E stimulates the skin's cell renewal and gives the skin plenty of nourishment. Mandarin, jojoba and coconut together form a strong and powerful vitamin C complex that gives your tired winter skin plenty of glow and elasticity, while aloe vera juice has a healing and soothing effect. Use : Use it in the morning on a cleansed face - warm 2-3 drops in your hands before applying and give yourself a good facial massage that starts blood circulation from the morning.

Are you into the cold chill or do you just think it's a hyped trend?

Over the years, some wild trends appear all the time. A few years ago, everyone had to go out and run a Marathon, which was previously only for the wildest athletes. And in this time of Corona, almost everyone has started walking 10,000 steps a day, while probably the most popular thing you find on social media at the moment is winter bathing - despite the fact that it has always existed. Personally, I wish I had been on the wave of running a Marathon, but a knee operation has not made this challenge possible, and it is very time-consuming and in reality not particularly healthy for the body. However, I believe that it strengthens and moves one's psyche a lot. Have you run a Marathon? Never in my professional life have I had as much "free time" as when both of my stores were forced to close. The 10,000 steps has clearly been tested and I have to admit that I like it a lot :-) But it is time consuming, so it will be difficult to achieve once my shops reopen. I definitely think that my daily walks do something good for my mind. Exercise also gives it, but it's not the kilos that show it - even if I walk fast. Michelle Kristensen has recently told about the background for the 10,000 steps in Go' evening Denmark - the phenomenon comes from when the pedometer was invented in the 60s in Japan. Here everyone was encouraged to participate in an event where you had to walk a minimum of 10,000 steps. Subsequently, it has almost become a sign of health if you walk 10,000 steps a day :-) Do you get to walk 10,000 steps a day? I'm the biggest frostbite and hate anything that makes my body cold. It must be said that I suffer to a fairly high degree from something called Reneau syndrome. Here you get completely white fingers and toes, which hurt a lot - not least when the fingers and toes get warm again. That's why you see me wearing giant gloves from October to April with warmth in them. Over the years, many have enticed me to try winter bathing, but I have always refused - just at the thought of voluntarily freezing. In November 2020, my sister-in-law (who is a hardcore winter bather) persuaded me to try going in the water. It was approx. 6-7 degrees both above and below the water. I only did it because all our kids wanted to do it too and because there was a sauna which was said to be the finishing touch according to my sister-in-law. I thought it was really cold and even though we went in the water 2 times and in the sauna 2 times and everyone thought it was great, I wasn't thrilled at all. It didn't give me the kick everyone is talking about - and why expose yourself to the cold? When I subsequently talked to people about it, the answer was often that the water had not been cold enough at 6-7 degrees. The other day a friend asked if I wanted to try winter swimming. She had only tried it once before and wanted to do it with a newbie. Wow, that was difficult, because it's not something I think about myself, but in these crazy times I need something different to happen than what usually happens in my life. So I said yes on the coldest day of the year. Minus 4 degrees and windy (felt like minus 10 degrees). But the sun was shining and the company was top notch. We had all the right 'equipment' with us, and then we just had to turn off our brains and throw ourselves into it. On the jetty we meet some hardcore winter bathers (both older and younger ladies). They start by saying that it is the coldest they have experienced in a very long time (after all, we had a warm winter last year) and that it was very brave of us to go in, if we had never tried it before. Now it was at this point that I thought "drop it, stay sitting in the sun and enjoy your coffee with warm fingers", but the devil got to me and within a relatively short time I was lying in the icy water. Was it a pleasure? No, damn NO, it was freezing cold, but the worst part was getting out of the water while your hands were frozen solid in 2 seconds, so you could hardly take off your bathing suit and put your warm clothes back on. Well, it hurt so bad. Afterwards we had a croissant, coffee and the sun right in our faces, and it was GREAT. The rest of the day I was tired - some say it may have something to do with one's life energies. Does anyone know anything about it? I simply don't think I'm the type to get a kick out of winter bathing - SORRY TO SAY - but that doesn't mean I won't try it again. If only the research could say unequivocally whether it is actually good for health, blood circulation, the heart, the skin and possible weight loss, etc., but after reading a lot about it, unfortunately it does not indicate that winter bathing can be scientifically documented as something positive on those parameters. Oh wow! However, it is believed that winter bathers have the opportunity to produce more brown fat, which burns the white fat (our unwanted fat stores). The heart primarily beats faster just before you dip into the cold water due to adrenaline, but no more than if you just have to catch the bus or drive through a yellow light and have to hurry. The same applies to blood circulation. However, it is healthy for our blood vessels to contract and expand again, which is what happens in the cold shiver. If you want to go swimming in the winter, it is probably mostly for the mental reason that you should do it. And hopefully research can definitively document a wide range of benefits from winter bathing - SOON:-) Now enjoy the cold weather, which has become brighter by a full 2 ​​hours. Feel free to send us pictures of the crazy things you're doing at the moment and hashtag #smukgørdigglad

New and improved version of SOAP & CREAM with more ecology and aloe vera juice

One of our absolute favorite pairs is our SOAP & CREAM. Both because these are products that are often used several times a day, especially in a Corona time, but also because both products complement each other really well. SOAP SOAP is a caring hand soap that leaves the skin clean and soft. It neither dries out nor irritates, as it is COMPLETELY free of SLS and SLES. It is full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and essential fatty acids that really protect your skin. We have refrained from using the foaming and not particularly environmentally friendly SLS and SLES ingredients, which i.a. can cause skin irritation and replaced it with the shell of a coconut. That way, we harm neither you nor the environment, and you get a hand soap that foams just as much as any other, but with more environmentally friendly ingredients. Read more about SOAP right here.  CREAM CREAM is a caring hand cream that leaves your hands thoroughly moisturized and protected against wind and weather. It is filled with delicious oils such as kukui nut oil, tangerine and ginger, all of which are good for healing the skin and rich in vitamins A, C and E. The added cocoa butter softens the skin, so you can easily massage the CREAM into the skin without it becoming greasy. Read more about CREAM here. New and improved formula of both SOAP & CREAM We have improved both products so that you now get even more for your money. In CREAM, aloe vera juice has now been added instead of water, which i.a. has meant that the organic percentage has increased from 7% to 74%. SOAP has a thicker consistency, so you don't need to use as much at a time to get clean hands.

BEAUTIFUL skincare and sustainability

Maybe you know our brand from ads or SoMe - maybe you just noticed us in a store and want to know more. If so - welcome! We are a small company that cares deeply about ecology and sustainability. We care about the planet and have therefore primarily chosen Nordic ingredients for our skincare products, so that we can minimize freight, transport and CO2. For the same reason, we have our products produced in Denmark, while we are super selective with the individual ingredients we feel are necessary to source from abroad. Beauty universe with recycled materials We have recently added Beauty sleep masks and Beauty bags to our beauty universe. The fabrics for the two products are recycled and come from vintage kimonos from Japan. The silk fabric is transported to Denmark and upcycled in Frederiksberg, where our store is located. In this way, we always have control over working conditions for the seamstresses who help complete our products. No outer packaging and FSC-labeled tissue paper If you have bought one or more of our products, you may have noticed that we do not use outer packaging. In principle, this means that there is never cardboard, cardboard or plastic around the products - we believe in not polluting the world further and that our products stand cleaner on their own. That way, you can always read more about our ingredients on the product itself or on our website, and you therefore don't have to throw away useless packaging. Of course, we always wrap your product nicely before you get it in a bag. For this, we always use uncoloured FSC-marked tissue paper, which ensures that no more wood is felled than the forest can reproduce and that animals and plant life are protected. The people who work in the forest are also guaranteed proper wages, training and safety equipment. Miron glass The violet Miron glasses that we use for our SERUM, OIL, LIGHT and RICH, GOLDEN MOMENTS, CREAM and SOAP and COOLING LIP BALM allow only the good and beneficial rays of the sun to penetrate. In this way, the vitamins in the products stay fresh for a longer period of time and we can therefore conserve less, as the vitamins themselves are preservatives. Miron glass is also recyclable and thus also part of our sustainable philosophy.

How to prepare your skin for spring

You may think that there is still a long time until spring and the light returns, but it is actually not that long. February is a short month and after that it goes fast. You can cleverly use the time to prep your skin and get it ready for the emerging sun and more outdoor life. Replace your weekly scrub with a more effective fruit acid peeling with 3IN1 A powerful papaya complex gives our 3IN1 a peeling effect, which is why you can also use 3IN1 as an enzyme peeling - in addition to daily cleansing. In this way, you get both the daily cleansing, the weekly peeling and the always necessary moisture. You will find that your skin is thoroughly cleansed and more moisturised, and after your weekly peelings, the skin has got rid of the dead skin cells that can give a slightly dry/rough surface. Contrary to a scrub, which primarily works on the surface, an enzyme peeling also creates tiny channels in the skin that allow moisture to better penetrate and penetrate the skin. And precisely the small channels are worth their weight in gold when the skin is currently exposed to changing temperatures in the form of being inside and outside. Through the small channels, you can moisturize the skin and nourish it with a good, moisturizing product afterwards. Read more about 3IN1 here. Allow yourself an extra moisture boost with the award-winning SERUM After your enzyme peel, it's still important to give it gas with plenty of moisture. Our award-winning SERUM gives your skin plenty of moisture through vitamins A, B3, C and E, while sea buckthorn's delicious content of omega 3 and 7 as well as vitamin E stimulates cell renewal and nourishes the skin. Get the glow back with mandarin, jojoba and coconut, and soothe your skin with the SERUMS high content of healing aloe vera juice. Apply to damp or dry skin. Give it gas with OIL and an optional beauty tool To give the skin plenty of nourishment, we recommend our OIL, which is packed with all the good fats and nutrients. Argan and sea buckthorn oil are full of important vitamins and antioxidants, while the exotic kukui nut is super moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, connective tissue-strengthening and wrinkle-preventive. As the icing on the cake, OIL contains another super antioxidant in the form of delicious, wild blueberries from Norway, which strengthens the elasticity and collagen level in the skin. After you have used the face oil, you can use a beauty tool to seal in the oil. If you are a beginner is a really nice face roller to start with . There you choose the stone you like best and then, with a light pressure, you roll it across your face. In this way, you strengthen the muscles and start the microcirculation. If you want to challenge yourself and work a little more on the connective tissue, you can use our gua sha stone. There you also choose the stone you like best, but here you have to scrape with the stone. It might feel a little strange to start with, but after a while you get used to it. Scrape outwards and upwards and feel how the blood circulation is really started. If you want to geek out about beauty tools and especially gua sha stones, we have made a 60 minute guide that shows and explains exactly how to use your beauty tools. You also get a free gua sha stone - read more here. Just because it's wrapped up right now, don't forget about it - the body After a nice warm bath, perhaps with an effective body scrub, you can use our moisturizing and nourishing BODY BUTTER. It is non-greasy and has a rich and soft texture, thanks to its high content of kukui nut oil. You get lots of moisture and regenerating properties with the help of the added aloe vera juice, while the content of antioxidant ginger promotes the skin's elasticity. And voila, you've prepared your skin for the fact that it's almost spring!

Pollen allergy season

Can pollen allergies affect your skin? Most of us are probably familiar with slightly itchy and swollen eyes, breathing problems, a scratchy throat and lots of sneezing when the pollen season really starts in March. The season lasts all spring and summer and only ends around August/September. Some of us are not affected at all, while others have to take various means to soothe the various reactions to pollen allergies. What we all have in common is that it is super important to have the right skin care when challenges arise for our delicate and sensitive skin. How does pollen allergy affect the body? Our immune system will naturally try to fight the pollen that we can get too much of. The immune system produces histamine, which is pumped out into the blood vessels and distributed in the skin, so that it can fight the pollen that causes trouble. However, the large amount of histamine can cause irritation/inflammation, which in turn can lead to sensitive skin. If you e.g. suffer from the skin disease rosacea, you may find that the pollen season triggers an outbreak. Seasonal allergies, such as pollen allergies, can cause hives, dry patches and eczema. When the skin is irritated, it can start to itch, and it is difficult not to "itch back". It can leave the skin with scratches and wounds that can become inflamed. As a common term, the type of irritated and itchy skin is called atopic diathesis. Atopic diathesis – learn to limit an outbreak With atopic diathesis, the skin becomes red and sensitive, and often there are also small dry bumps that itch. The skin may become so irritated that it may bleed slightly. You may also have swollen eyes that become red and itchy, all of which are caused by inflammation of the skin. Therefore, avoid touching the eyes, as it will only get worse. Feel free to use a cold face roll that has been in the fridge around the eyes. It causes the blood vessels to constrict, so the swelling disappears more quickly. See our different rolls here . During the periods when the allergy is on, you may experience extra or clearer wrinkles/lines. Again, it is the inflammation in the body that shows itself. When the skin becomes dry and irritated, tiny tears can appear, which also dehydrate the skin. Therefore, please use skin care that is soothing, cooling and moisturizing. Our LIGHT and RICH face creams contain prebiotics which can have an effect on inflammation in the skin as well as red willow bark which has a calming effect. In the worst cases, you may have to apply cream from the doctor (hydrocortisol) so that the tears heal without inflammation. Studies also show that people who have suffered from childhood eczema in the early years are more likely to develop seasonal allergies later in life. You must do this when the first symptoms appear... 1. Stay indoors whenever possible. 2. Close the windows. 3. Wash the bedding often. 4. Reduce stress so you reduce the histamine in your body. 5. Use mild beauty products without perfume. Here, 3IN1 can be recommended as daily cleansing NOT peeling. 6. Avoid AHA, scrubs and other active ingredients that can irritate the skin. 7. Eat an anti-inflammatory diet before, during and after the pollen season, so that the body is better strengthened against inflammation. 8. Feel free to take oil as a dietary supplement, so that the skin is optimally moisturized from the inside when the pollen season dehydrates the skin. 9. Use creams that contain plenty of moisture and nourishment.

SUMMER TIME and Beauty sleep mask

Finally, the light is coming back and summer time is at the door. This means brighter nights and even earlier mornings. On March 28th, it was officially Daylight Savings Time, which as always means it gets dark later, which can be annoying if you have trouble falling asleep. However, we have found a really delicious solution to the summertime problem - a solution that is both comfortable, sustainable and easy to take with you, regardless of where the bright light teases you. Soft, sustainable and your new best sleeping friend Beauty sleep mask is a soft and unique sleeping mask made from vintage Japanese kimonos from the 1920s and 30s. All masks have different prints and colors on both sides, and silk inside and outside for extra comfort. The materials in the Beauty sleep mask are 100% natural and there is therefore room for the skin to breathe freely and the eyes to get the rest they need. Handmade with the finest details The masks are also hand-sewn and upcycled in Frederiksberg, and comfort and convenience have really been thought about. You won't find any strings that tighten or annoying seams - the masks come in the softest and most beautiful materials. Take your Beauty sleep mask with when you need a moment's rest. It comes in a nice little bag, so you can easily carry it with you in your bag. And then enjoy that summer is finally on its way! The masks cost DKK 649 and can be bought right here. Wash your Beauty sleep mask gently on a wool wash at 30 degrees if it gets dirty.

Is the perfect skin care routine found?

Naturally, we get a lot of questions about skin care. General questions about general skin care, but also more specific questions that can be difficult to answer unless you are standing right in front of us in the store on Gammel Kongevej. A skin analysis is really difficult over the phone, e-mail and/or Instagram, so we have put together a few good general tips for your beauty routine. Remember to drink plenty of water, so you are sure that you are well filled up inside. Take the nutritional supplements that best support you, your health and your diet. Get moving, but be careful with the extra hard exercise, as it can break down your immune system before it builds up again. Although it can be difficult to get proper quality sleep, prioritize your sleep anyway, as this is where you regenerate. And then you have to provide the external moisture and nourishment! The daily cleaning There are divided opinions about how often and how much you should clean your skin. We believe that you should always adapt skincare routines and products to your skin. Having said that, daily cleansing is important - both morning and evening. In the evening, you wash off make-up, the day's pollution and sweat, while in the morning you clean off the night's waste products and dead skin cells. Whether you prefer gel, foam or an oil-based cleansing product is entirely up to you and your skin. As long as your cleaning product cleans through, you are well on your way. Enzyme peeling If you do not suffer from eczema or other skin diseases, you can benefit from an enzyme peeling 1-2 times a week. It is the active enzymes that really clean the skin in depth and remove the dead skin cells. Where a peeling with grains only works on the surface to remove the dead skin cells, the enzyme peeling does the work for you. At the same time, it makes channels down to your subcutaneous tissue so that the subsequent products penetrate more easily. Avoid exfoliating right before going out in the sun. Pamper the skin with plenty of moisture from the morning A serum is a small bomb filled with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Our own SERUM won the award for best Danish product in 2017 at the Danish Beauty Awards and is therefore one of our most popular products. Perhaps because it is a mixture between a serum and an oil, so it is easy to spread, but perhaps even more importantly, it penetrates quickly and you can easily apply the next product in your skin care routine. Regardless of brand preferences, a serum is a good investment. Give the skin lots of delicious nourishment after you've moisturized it To really seal in the good moisture you've got from your cleanser and serum, we recommend plenty of nourishment with a face oil. They are usually easy to work with and you can use your oil with a beauty tool, e.g. a facial roller or a gua sha stone. Face oil can be used under your face cream, a drop or two in your face cream or alone at night. It protects the skin in winter from cold and in summer from dehydration. If you still feel that you lack moisture or nourishment, which is perhaps most true in the winter period with the colder temperatures, then use a delicious face cream. Feel free to choose one with a lot of good, nourishing and organic ingredients, so that your skin is guaranteed the best of the best. Unfortunately, there are several manufacturers who add a lot of water to their creams - avoid this, especially in winter, so you don't risk blood vessels bursting.

GOLDEN MOMENTS - glow for your skin

We love multi-purpose products that can be used in multiple ways. In this way, you save both on the purchase of new products, but you also save on space when you e.g. must go out and travel. And it's just easier to have a small toiletry bag with you that contains exactly the products that suit you and your skin rather than a lot of products that can do a bit of everything but not the whole thing. A small product with lots of functionality GOLDEN MOMENTS is one of our smallest products purely in terms of size, but the n simply has so many great features. It's a little lifesaver when you're on the go. Moisturizes, cares and protects It is filled with the most delicious oils and has a high content of vitamin E. It stays on the lips without feeling sticky and it contains a lot of ingredients that both moisturises, cares and protects. The natural mineral, MICA GOLDEN MOMENTS has a delicious shimmer effect because it contains the natural mineral, mica. Use it on the lips to get a shine and glitter effect or dab it on, for example. in the corner of the eye, above the cupid's bow or on the cheekbones to highlight. If you are wearing a low-cut dress or your collarbone is exposed, you can also dab a little GOLDEN MOMENTS on there. It can also be on the summer brown shins. So you care for your skin while it glistens in the sun. Read more about GOLDEN MOMENTS here.

BODY BUTTER - your first aid for dry late summer skin

After a long and lovely summer, there is nothing better than starting to care for the skin again. Perhaps you have relaxed a little on your regular skin care routines over the summer and have instead concentrated on the sun, summer and bathing? The month of August is an excellent month to get a handle on the routines again - remember plenty of water and nourishing oils to moisturize from the inside, and also remember to be good to your body - and not just the skin on your face. Aromatherapy in the bath Start with a nice warm bath, but it doesn't have to be WAY too hot, as the heat is also drying. Feel free to use a delicious and organic scrub for the body, which removes all the dead skin cells that make the skin appear gray and sad. If you're into aromatherapy, feel free to buy an organic aromatherapy scent in a health food store - smell what works for you. Lavender works, for example. super relaxing, while peppermint is invigorating. Scent yourself and pour a few drops into the bath water - whether it's in the tub or at the bottom of the shower. End your lovely slow-down routine with our super moisturizing and nourishing BODY BUTTER. BODY BUTTER It can be used by all skin types and is particularly suitable for dry, tired skin. Kukui nut oil gives the cream a rich and soft texture that makes it easy to spread. It is non-greasy, but dries quickly and you can also use it to massage tired legs. Aloe vera adds plenty of moisture and is, as you know, super healing and effective for sun-damaged skin. Ginger helps restore the skin's glow and elasticity, and promotes skin elasticity. Mandarin is a strong antioxidant with a mild and fresh scent. Use: Massage the product from head to toe with special emphasis on elbows, knees and cuticles on both hands and feet. Tips: Can also be used as a face mask. Spread an even layer on the face and let it sit for 10-20 min. It absorbs well, but please help it by massaging your face. Wash off with lukewarm water after approx. 5-10 minutes and apply your favorite face cream.

A better night's sleep

What can we do ourselves? Do you lie and toss and turn for an hour or two before you can fall asleep, maybe even until – at 4 or 5 o'clock, before you feel like you're "properly" falling asleep, but you never feel rested?  Then you share the fate of 400-500,000 other Danes with sleep problems.  There can be many reasons for sleep problems, both physical and psychological. Sleep problems are often the first sign that something is out of balance. Sleep problems are often linked to worries, stress, but also mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety and PTSD, i.a. because we produce too much cortisol. The modern information society with many inputs and expectations that we are "on" around the clock also creates sleep problems for many.   DID YOU KNOW... You sleep approx. a third of your life. A total of 20-30 years. When you sleep, you recharge your body and your psyche for a new day's impressions. Sleep prevents stress, anxiety and depression. Sleep improves the immune system, strengthens memory and creativity. Sleep causes the growth hormone melatonin to rise. When it rises, serotonin and cortisol levels fall.    1. Make sleep a pleasure, something you look forward to. See it as something positive. 2. Sleep strengthens both your body and your mind, because the formation of growth hormones increases during deep sleep and the amount of stress hormones decreases. It requires between 7-8 hours of sleep. 3. A good sleeping environment is important.  A good mattress, a nice duvet and pillow, even the bed linen should feel nice. It must be dark - here you can, for example, use blackout curtains or ours sleeping mask to shut out the light.  It must be quiet - no disturbing elements, use ear plugs.  The scent of lavender is scientifically proven to have a calming effect. A small drop on the pillow is enough. You can also put a drop on an electric bulb so that the whole room smells or the sleeping mask can have a calming scent of lavender. The bedroom must be approx. 20 degrees.  4. An hour before going to bed, try to lie down and relax. Relax with something comfortable and soothing, e.g. quiet music, reading, a warm bath or meditation. Dimming the lighting at the end of the evening can also help. Drop the television, tablet, mobile phone or computer. They emit blue light, which signals to the brain that you must be awake.  Please use 15 min. on yourself. Have a nice facial massage so that you can release the tension of the day. You can either use your hands or a nice one face roll with an estimate oil under. 5. Avoid caffeinated drinks after 16.00 (coffee, tea, cola or energy drinks). Avoid alcohol and smoking, as this can also disrupt sleep. 6. Maintain a regular circadian rhythm. Get up at a fixed time, go to bed at a fixed time. The most important thing is, if you cannot keep to the time, it is the length of the sleep itself. It should preferably be the same every day. 7. Remember to get exercise, preferably min. 30 minutes a day. It provides better sleep but also strengthens your physical and mental health. We should preferably burn some of our activity substances, so that the energy is gone in the evening. 8. During the day, you can practice "falling away". Try 3 times a day if you can sit in e.g. 5 minutes and disconnect completely. In this way, you can teach the body to "fall down" without panicking, but that it is turned into something positive. 9. Go to bed neither hungry nor overfull. A stable blood sugar helps to provide calm, undisturbed sleep. 10. The bedroom is only for sleep and sex, so don't bring worries to bed. Feel free to use time in the evening to write down concerns and suggestions for solutions. It can also be the next day's work. Often this in itself has a calming effect. 11. If ruminations and restlessness still appear and you can't sleep and are stressed by the thought, try teaching yourself a strip of a mantra that calms you down. Repeat it over and over until you feel calm. It can, for example, be "I've written down everything I need to remember tomorrow, I'm lying nicely in this soft bed, it's ok I just lie here with my eyes closed, it's almost as good as if I was asleep". It must be something nice and positive. 12. If nothing helps and you can feel yourself becoming more and more awake and stressed, leave the bed and sit somewhere else in dim lighting or feel yourself calm down and then try again.

Is your skin ready for a skiing holiday?

Are you one of the lucky ones who will soon be going on a wonderful skiing holiday? Snow, sun and frost are classic elements of a skiing holiday, but your skin may need a little extra care to prepare itself for the new temperatures and the bright sun. Your face is also on skis Now you have to be outside all day in frost and hopefully sunshine. It can be a bit of an upheaval for the skin. Although the body is covered in ski clothing, the face is exposed to the cold. And especially if you are on the slopes for a long time. And when you come in for après-ski, it's suddenly warm and nice, and your skin has to get used to going from freezing to warm. Prepare yourself before you leave Just as you have, hopefully, prepared yourself physically to go on a skiing holiday, it is also a really good idea to prepare your skin. Already a few weeks before departure, start cleaning and moisturizing your skin. With an enzyme peeling small channels are made down to the subcutaneous tissue so that you can really moisten it. Feel free to use a daily moisture serum that really boosts and moisturizes, so that the skin is well hydrated before you leave. Feel free to also use a face oil after your serum. If you think oil is greasy on the face, you can advantageously mix a drop of oil into your serum or day cream. If you are into beauty tools, give it gas. Whether you use a facial roller or a gua sha stone , have a product underneath. Preferably an oil or a balm, as they work well with beauty tools, so you don't stretch the skin. With beauty tools, you work the products into the skin and release the skin's natural hyaluron, which moisturizes from within. When you're on the slopes Start by cleansing your skin and then give it all it can get from products that moisturize. Serum, oil, day cream (or day cream mixed with oil) eye cream, lip balm and finally sunscreen unless you use a day cream with SPF . We always recommend an organic sunscreen with a physical sun filter of spf 15 or spf 30, as it is the best for you and the environment. You must also choose products that do not contain water or at least very little water. Both ours COOLING LIP BALM , FACE RICH and OIL no water is added in. In our SERUM there is only very little water in it. FACE RICH is a very rich face cream based on oils and natural SPF15. Ideal for a skiing holiday. When you need to sleep Cleanse the skin and give it plenty of moisture and nourishment for the night (serum and oil). If you have a moisturizing mask, feel free to use it during the week. In this way, you prepare the skin for the next day of skiing. Drink plenty throughout the day Even though it is cold, our skin dehydrates quickly in the cold. We forget to drink water when it's cold. At the same time, we are active all day on the slopes, so drink plenty of water and you will help your skin stay hydrated.

Collagen - what can it do for your skin?

One of the big trends when we talk about skin and beauty care is collagen. It is said to be good for a lot of processes in the body and not least for our skin. But what is collagen and why can it be good for you? Everyone has natural collagen in the body and in fact it is one of the most important building blocks for us. The natural collagen in the body makes up a third of the body's proteins and forms the basic foundation for e.g. bones, muscles, tendons and blood vessels. So your body forms collagen itself and uses it for important internal resources. How can collagen affect my skin? As a naturally occurring protein in the body, collagen is instrumental in maintaining the skin's most important functions. The challenge for the skin is that the skin cells' production of collagen decreases with age, which is a contributing factor to why we develop wrinkles. Research is therefore currently being conducted into whether adding collagen to creams and dietary supplements has a visible effect. There is still a lack of evidence and research in the field, but something, in the slightest, could indicate that dietary supplements with collagen can increase the density of the skin's collagen. Further studies have indicated that fibroblast cells, which form part of the connective tissue, respond to collagen peptides by to increase cell division and the formation of new cells. And more cells and an increase in new cells is something you can hope for when it comes to beauty, as it helps to inhibit signs of aging. So far, it can therefore indicate that your body - and especially your skin and bones, benefit from collagen from a dietary supplement. More and more manufacturers have launched collagen products on the market and they are available in all kinds of flavors and with different antioxidant boosters. Most collagen manufacturers extract the collagen from the liver lobe, as it contains many proteins. In the past few years, several manufacturers have chosen to extract the collagen from fish skin. They claim that if you extract the collagen from skin (fish skin) type 1, then the collagen supplement becomes more targeted towards our own skin. However, it must be added that type 1 collagen is good for skin, hair, nails, muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, teeth, gums, eyes and blood vessels. That is, if our body lacks collagen in bones or tendons, then the collagen is used where it is needed and not in the skin. Therefore, you have to take collagen supplements for many months before you see the final result. The body is fantastically arranged, so it therefore uses the collagen where it is most important and when the task is completed, it uses the collagen elsewhere. If you buy collagen that comes from fish, there may be a slight fishy taste, but often the collagen is mixed with freeze-dried fruit to give a better taste and milder taste. In addition, a lot of antioxidants have also been added. Some are neutral in taste, some can tolerate being in hot liquids, while others taste a little fruity and cannot tolerate heat. Try yourself out - there is something for every taste.

Enzymes in your skin care

Enzymes. A word you cannot avoid when we talk about skin care. But what are these enzymes and does it make sense to invest in skin care with enzymes? Enzymes are a chemical. They can help break down proteins and sugars - at least if we're talking about the enzymes found in your mouth. Perhaps you have heard of people who repeatedly get cavities in their teeth? One of the reasons may be the lack of some special enzymes in the saliva that help to counteract caries. On the other hand, if we talk about enzymes in relation to skin care, you often use enzymes from fruits such as papaya, pineapple and pumpkin. These help to break down the creatine protein. Creatine and its importance for your skin The dead skin cells that lie on the surface of the skin consist primarily of creatine. And we want to get rid of the dead skin cells so that the "new and fresh" ones can emerge. Dead skin cells - and thus creatine - can easily give the skin a slightly greyish tone and dry surface. If you add enzymes to your skin, the creatine breaks down so that the dead skin cells disappear. In principle, everything goes slower the older you get, and the breakdown of the skin is no exception. It is therefore smart to help the skin on its way and, in this case, to get rid of the dead and useless skin cells. Here you will find your new enzyme products The enzymes can either be added to your creams, skin tonics or various masks. As it is only the dead skin cells that are broken down, enzymes are really good for exfoliating in a gentle way. Our 3IN1 is a multi-product that has just been made to exfoliate your skin in a mild and gentle way. 3IN1 removes the dead skin cells with the help of a powerful papaya complex, which - after cleansing - also with 3IN1, is applied in a thick layer. The complex and the enzymes thus work by breaking down the dead skin cells and making room for new and active cells. After 10 minutes, your skin is exfoliated and at the same time moisturized using the base of cucumber and marine peptides from seashells. Enzymes are your friend when it comes to skin care. And it's just about getting started.

Can pollen allergies affect your skin?

Most of us are probably familiar with slightly itchy and swollen eyes, breathing problems, a scratchy throat and lots of sneezing when the pollen season really starts in March. The season lasts all spring and summer, and only ends around August/September. Some of us are not affected at all, while others have to take various means to soothe the various reactions to pollen allergies. What we all have in common is that it is super important to have the right skin care when challenges arise for our delicate and sensitive skin. How does pollen allergy affect the body? Our immune system will naturally try to fight the pollen that we can get too much of. The immune system produces histamine, which is pumped out into the blood vessels and distributed in the skin, so that it can fight the pollen that causes trouble. However, the large amount of histamine can cause irritation/inflammation, which in turn can lead to sensitive skin. If you e.g. suffer from the skin disease rosacea, you may find that the pollen season triggers an outbreak. Seasonal allergies, such as pollen allergies, can cause hives, dry patches and eczema. When the skin is irritated, it can start to itch, and it is difficult not to "itch back". It can leave the skin with scratches and wounds that can become inflamed. As a common term, the type of irritated and itchy skin is called 'atopic diathesis'. Atopic diathesis – learn to limit an outbreak With atopic diathesis, the skin becomes red and sensitive, and often there are also small dry bumps that itch. The skin may become so irritated that it may bleed slightly. You may also have swollen eyes that become red and itchy, all of which are caused by inflammation of the skin. Therefore, avoid touching the eyes, as it will only get worse. Take care of your skin During the periods when the allergy is on, you may experience extra or clearer wrinkles/lines. Again, it is the inflammation in the body that shows itself. When the skin becomes dry and irritated, tiny tears can appear, which also dehydrate the skin. Therefore, please use skin care that is soothing, cooling and moisturizing. We recommend our light and super nourishing day cream, that has a calming effect and contains SPF15. And to your dry and cracked hands that are ours hand cream with coconut oil, coconut oil, ginger and cucumber soothing and nourishing. Your lips are also extra exposed with allergies and atopic diathesis - therefore use a lip balm that is super moisturizing and protects your lips. In the worst cases, you may have to apply cream from the doctor (hydrocortisol) so that the tears heal without inflammation. Studies also show that people who have suffered from childhood eczema in the early years are more likely to develop seasonal allergies later in life. You must do this when the first symptoms appear... 1. Stay indoors whenever possible. 2. Close the windows. 3. Wash the bedding often. 4. Reduce stress so you reduce the histamine in your body. 5.

Feel free to take oil as a dietary supplement, so that the skin is optimally moisturized from the inside when the pollen season dehydrates the skin. 9. Use creams that contain plenty of moisture and nourishment.

Sunscreen - physical or chemical sunscreen?

Before long, the summer holiday is well and truly over and you may want to take a trip to a holiday home or to a warmer destination where the UV index is extra high. It is therefore a very good idea to get a handle on which sunscreens to buy for yourself - and possibly also for the rest of the family. We have tried to describe the advantages and disadvantages of the chemical (synthetic) and physical (mineral) filters. The chemical and physical filters In short, sunscreens consist of a physical or chemical filter, or a combination of both. Regardless of whether you choose one or the other filter, they limit the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays. There is just a difference in how they do it. The dangerous rays of the sun UVA is present all year round, even in the shade and in cloudy weather. And they can also penetrate glass. UVA accounts for 95% of total UV radiation. UVA penetrates deep into the skin layers and can damage our DNA. This is seen in premature aging of the skin (wrinkles) or, in the worst case, skin cancer. They exist in short and long rays - it is the short UVA rays that are the most dangerous. UVB is the sun's ultraviolet rays and is very powerful. It accounts for only 5%. UV A = A larm watch out for your DNA → skin cancer, UV B = B burnt skin (the worst) → skin cancer and sun allergy. Physical filter The physical/mineral filter lays like a thin film on the skin and acts like a mirror that reflects the sun's rays. In this way, it prevents the sun's harmful rays from penetrating the skin. Advantages of sunscreen with a physical filter * The physical filter protects against UVA (the short rays and UVB) * They do not irritate the skin around the eyes * Does not contain hormone-disrupting substances * Does not damage the corals in the world's oceans * Does not penetrate the skin but only sits on top * Works immediately, so you don't have to wait twenty minutes to go out in the sun * Good for children and people with delicate skin Disadvantages of sunscreen with a physical filter * They can leave a white cast on the skin - this often disappears quickly, however * They can get a little greasy depending on how much sunscreen is in and which mixture is used * May be a little more difficult to distribute on the skin * You have to be extra careful about applying enough sun cream, as the sun cream sits on top of the skin and is therefore easily washed off when bathing and sweating. * Does not protect against the long UVA rays Chemical filter In contrast to the physical filter, the chemical filter does not lie on top of the skin, but penetrates into the skin. In this way, the sun does not reach the lower layers of the skin and cause damage. The chemical sun filters, unlike the physical ones, cannot be seen on the skin, and this may be one of the reasons why some people prefer the chemical filters to the physical ones. Advantages of chemical filter * Some people find it easier to apply * Protects against all the sun's dangerous rays Disadvantages of chemical filter * Can cause allergies and be hormone disrupting * May sting and irritate the eye area * Contains chemistry * May contribute to exterminating the corals in the world's oceans Which factor should I use? It rarely pays to buy a factor that is higher than factor 30 if you are going to sunbathe in Denmark. If you use a factor 30, you are protected against 93% of UVA and UVB rays and you only get 2% more protection if you e.g. uses a factor of 50. But on the other hand, there is often 50% more chemistry in factor 50%. When the "base color" has been applied, you can settle for a factor 15, which you must remember to apply regularly. Factor 15 is good to use all year round. If you are traveling south, and thus closer to the equator, you must remember to lubricate yourself even more times a day. Both because you often bathe more and to be sure that the sunscreen has its optimal strength. It may be a good idea to apply, wait 20 min., and apply again. A small pin with factor 50 is good on the bridge of the nose. Waterproof sun products Regardless of whether you choose a sun product that is water-repellent or water-resistant, you must be aware that no product lasts all day long as you bathe, swim, sweat and dry yourself with a towel. There are currently no legislation that dictates when a product can be called waterproof, so it is entirely up to the manufacturer to assess when their products - that is, according to themselves, are waterproof. For the little ones There are always very strict rules for sunscreens for children in Denmark, as their skin is more delicate than that of adults. Therefore, sunscreens for children also do not allow chemical filters, as they can cause allergies and are suspected of being hormone disruptors. Feel free to choose a sunscreen for your children that is Swan-labelled, they do not allow endocrine-disrupting substances in children's sunscreen. Remember - there is also other useful advice in relation to how you can protect your children from the sun's rays - shade and light clothing are also a really good idea. It also applies to avoiding the sun during the hottest hours, between 12.00 and 15.00, and to avoid burns, as this is where the skin really takes damage.

When does the skin best accept facial products?

In a busy everyday life, there is not much time for the long, wonderful skin care routines. Maybe you just have time to spread a quick face cream on your face before you brush your teeth and are on your way. But wait a bit - perhaps you can optimize your skin care routine after all if you are aware of which products are absorbed best and when. Your morning beauty routine Your skin doesn't absorb products as well in the morning as it does in the evening. Therefore, it can be smart to ditch the really cool masks and heavy creams in the morning, and instead wait until the afternoon or evening. You don't have to ditch your skin care routine in the morning, but instead just apply a light serum and a light cream. During the day The production of new skin cells is at its lowest around lunchtime and you may therefore experience a worsening of skin conditions if you e.g. suffer from psoriasis or other forms of eczema. Your oil production, on the other hand, is at its peak, and the skin can therefore feel oilier - and look shinier, around the forehead, nose and chin. Here you can use a face mist around 1 pm to prevent the shiny and greasy look. Around 4pm, the skin is particularly good at absorbing active substances, so if you have time for it, it's a good idea to book a facial or apply a nourishing mask/serum. Naturally on a cleansed face. When darkness falls Your skin is most balanced in the afternoon and evening. The pores are more open, and you can give it gas with fat, nourishing creams, serums and masks. Skin renewal is most active from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m., while the production of new skin cells is at its peak around midnight. Good skin care routines are important, but secondary to your beauty sleep. Remember the beauty sleep, so that your products can have the optimal effect during the day and night.

Considerations of one's existence in the market

ELIGIBILITY I have given myself a lot of thought as to whether SMUK still has its rightful place on the huge cream market. Maybe I've had too many hours of thinking in the last 16 months with the late effects of a bad concussion that has meant that I've had to pull the plug completely and later partially. It has taught me a lot and it has definitely turned my world upside down, both good and bad. I've really had time to reflect on a lot of things :-) In the 10 years I have basically been developing SMUK, I have had employees to help me with marketing and strategy as well as sales. I have hired countless specialists who had to come up with the golden words or strategic plans for how to conquer the large market in skin care. Keep in mind I've learned a lot from it all, but where did I go? THE START TO NOW From the time I started thinking about making my own products to now, so much has happened within skin care and marketing in that industry. From very few Danish brands on the market to today, where everyone makes their own line if they have a name or profile with a lot of followers. From very few organic brands and virtually no delicious organic brands to everyone now making organic and perfume-free products. You have to please the dealers all the time, so as not to be replaced a few months later by yet another new brand, etc. A SATURATED MARKET Today, the market is somewhat saturated and it has become a huge jungle to navigate as a consumer, but also for us specialists. SoMe has taken over and made insignificant brands famous despite the fact that in principle they really have nothing to offer in terms of skin care, but a lot of money is splashed in marketing on social media and on influencers. Everything is going incredibly fast and maybe we should just try to slow down a bit. This is how the world has become and it is not something we can change, but we must deal with it and its truth or lack thereof to that extent. STRESS AND WORRIES All these parameters are of course something that stresses and worries me all the time. As an entrepreneur and self-employed person, you must always be on the cutting edge - at least you feel it. That is why I also think that over the years it has been incredibly difficult to answer the absolutely essential questions that are asked time and time again by the specialists: Where do you see your brand in 2-5 years? What makes you unique compared to others in the market? Why do you think your products can contribute something unique compared to the other brands? Do your products have a justification in the market? Etc. etc. Good questions, but when we now have a market where there are already all types of products that are super good, it is actually difficult to answer and then you become unsure of yourself and what you are doing. HOPE AND NEW ENERGY Until I recently met someone who said some wise words and gave me renewed hope and energy. She pointed out that the skin care industry is no more saturated than, for example, bag or the clothing industry is. People always want to be inspired and see new things. And we humans all have individual needs and finances. She is so right about that. Then she asked me a different question than I have heard in the many years I have been in business. Heidi, what can you contribute to your products so that they are different from the others, and here we are not talking about ingredients, because they are the same for everyone? KEEP IT SIMPLE It got me thinking, but not really for very long. Because since my early days, I have always wanted to pass on my expert knowledge in skin care and pass it on in a single skin care routine - keep it simple. That's why I started making a very simple skincare range and still do. I just now have to focus much more on my expert knowledge and start conveying it to you. I will follow my heart much more than I have done before and this will probably also show on social media, where I no longer want to please the algorithm, but only make content I think is funny. WORKSHOPS I am also starting to do some workshops together with Denmark's most talented yogi, where we start from the individual self and our entire nervous system, breathing and mental state. Then finally follow along under Workshops and subscribe to our newsletter so that you are constantly updated.

CO LAB - SMUK YOGA

Så skete det endelig - mit og Mette's projekt, som vi har gået og snakket om i over 1.5 år blev til virkelighed. Mange overvejelser og undersøgelser, og så skulle al det praktiske gå op i en højere enhed. Men vi vidste, at vi sammen havde en kæmpe viden og ekspertise gennem mange års arbejde med kroppen.   Mette har i snart 40 år arbejdet med yogaBåde taget uddannelser og lært videre af sin viden og kunnen. Hun ejer det registrerede varemærke Copenhagenyoga.com hvor hun har undervist tusindvis yogier gennem årene. Mette har i samarbejde med Hjernerystelsesforeningen udviklet en helt unik yoga terapeutisk traumeuddanelse, hvor jeg også underviser i et modul om ansigtets anatomi og ansigtsyogaøvelser.Hun ved derfor ALT om vores nervesystem og hvordan vi kan nulstille det. Hun guider dig trygt igennem hele workshoppen.  Man behøver ikke at have udøvet yoga før - alle kan være med.  Jeg selv bidrager med snart 20 års viden indenfor anatomi af hele kroppen og selvfølgelig også nervesystemet samt min egen erfaring med et flosset nervesystem efter min hjernerystelse i april 2023. Hver workshop starter med en indledende aromatisk øvelse, hvor man får viden om oliernes virkning på sindet. Mine rolige terapeutiske hænder kommer alle yogi'er til at mærke i slutningen af hver workshop, hvor Mette laver en guidede meditation og jeg går rundt og laver blide strøg og tryk med SMUKs OIL, som har en helt fantastisk duft der også virker terapeutisk.   Når nervesystemet trænger til en ekstra hånd  Vi vil så utrolig gerne hjælpe så mange som muligt, som har et nervesystem der trænger til lidt ekstra opmærksomhed. Vi er desværre en meget voksende målgruppe med både angst, senfølger af en hjernerystelse, stressramte eller folk der er ved at mærke stress symptomer og traumatiserede personer, som alle har et nervesystem der trænger til ro og kærlighed. Vi håber med disse workshops, som bliver afholdt en søndag i hver måned, vil hjælpe rigtig mange.     Hvad du får med digDu kommer til at gå derfra med et roligt nervesystem, nogle enkelte øvelser man kan lave derhjemme som nulstiller nervesystemet og sidst men ikke mindst får man en luksus toilettaske der indeholder forskellige produkter fra SMUK, værdi 450 kr.    På den måde kan du selv forlænge den skønne workshop til næste gang vi ser hinanden med selvforkælelse og øvelser til hverdagen.   Her kan du læse mere om hver workshop og tilmelde digWorkshop   Namaste,Heidi

Sommerhud i balance – sådan plejer du huden i varmen

Når solen skinner, og temperaturen stiger, ændrer din hud sig. Den bliver måske mere fedtet, mere sensitiv – eller den føles bare anderledes end resten af året. Derfor fortjener din hud en opdateret rutine, der tager højde for sol, varme, saltvand og lange dage udenfor. Hos SMUK skincare tror vi på, at naturlig, aktiv og økologisk hudpleje gør en mærkbar forskel – især når huden er udsat. Her deler vi vores bedste tips og produktfavoritter til strålende, sund og afbalanceret sommerhud. Hvad sker der med huden om sommeren?Solen øger behovet for fugt og beskyttelse.
UV-stråler udtørrer huden og svækker hudbarrieren, hvilket gør den mere sårbar overfor pigmentforandringer og ældning.Huden begynder at producere mere talg fordi varmen og sveden sætter gang i olieproduktionen. Det kan give blank hud, tilstoppede porer og små udbrud – især hvis du bruger for tunge produkter. Saltvand og klor udtørrer huden.
En dag ved stranden eller i poolen er skøn – men også hård kost for huden. 🌿 Din naturlige sommer-rutine med SMUK skincare1. Rens med respektVælg en mild rens, der ikke stripper huden.
👉 Prøv vores 3IN1 Cleanser, Peel & Mask – en mild, men effektiv multitasker, som renser og eksfolierer skånsomt.2. Tilfør fugt og vitaminerDette vil give en smuk glød. Vitaminer er essentielle for hudens sundhed fordi de indeholder en masse antioxidanter, som bekæmper de frie radikaler. Solen udsender UV-stråler, der kan skabe frie radikaler i huden. Frie radikaler er ustabile molekyler, der kan beskadige celler og DNA, hvilket kan føre til tidlige aldringstegn, soleksem, og i værste fald hudkræft.
👉 Brug vores  SERUM morgen og aften – med A, B3, C og E samt hyaluronsyre der giver fugt, beskyttelse og en smuk, naturlig glød.3. Beskyt huden – også i skyggenSolcreme er din bedste ven – også på overskyede dage.
👉 Vores Face LIGHT SPF15 er en fugtgivende creme med naturlig solbeskyttelse og antioxidanter. Hvis du skal slikke sol anbefaler vi, at du påfører en højere faktor ovenpå.4. Berolig huden om aftenenEfter sol og varme har huden brug for pleje.
👉 Vores OIL er rig på naturlige olier og antioxidanter – perfekt til at genopbygge huden natten over.5. Opfrisk i løbet af dagenSved, varme og aircondition kan gøre huden træt og dehydreret.
👉 Et par sprøjt af en hydrerende mist kan gøre underværker. Den holder huden frisk og fugtet – hvor som helst, når som helst. Tip: Husk fugt – også til fedtet hudDet er en myte, at du ikke skal bruge fugt, hvis din hud er fedtet. Ofte bliver huden mere fedtet, fordi den mangler vand. Brug produkter der tilfører huden fugt hele dagen. Aktive fugtgivere er f.eks. hyaluronsyre, vegetabilsk glycerin, peptider, squalane.DRIK RIGELIGT VAND!!!!! Ekstra forkælelse efter solenPrøv vores BODY BUTTER – en redning til overophedet hud med ingefær, kukui nøddeolie og aleo vera. Brug den efter solbadning, eller når huden har brug for ro og fugt. Kan også bruges som ansigtsmaske. Har du spørgsmål eller brug for personlig vejledning?

Hvad har antioxidanter og solbeskyttelse med hinanden at gøre?

Solbeskyttelse handler om mere end SPF – læs her hvordan du kan styrke din hud medantioxidanter. Vi elsker solen. Den giver os varme, energi og glød – men den er også en af de størstesyndere, når det kommer til tidlige aldringstegn, pigmentpletter og tab af elasticitet i huden. Hos SMUK skincare tror vi på, at hudpleje skal være i balance med naturen. Og når detgælder solbeskyttelse, er det ikke nok at smøre sig ind i solcreme og håbe på det bedste.Hudens naturlige forsvar skal styrkes – indefra og udefra – og det er her, antioxidanternekommer ind i billedet. Hvorfor antioxidanter er essentielle i din solplejeSolens UV-stråler danner frie radikaler i huden – ustabile molekyler, der skader cellerne og det kollagene væv. Det sætter gang i aldringsprocesser så rynker og slaphed bliver synlige. Solcreme blokerer en stor del af strålerne, men kan ikke forhindre de biologiske reaktioner, der allerede er sat i gang.  Hvad kan antioxidanter gøre?Antioxidanter neutraliserer de frie radikaler og beskytter hudens celler mod nedbrydning. Når du bruger antioxidanter i din hudpleje under din SPF, giver du huden en langt mere komplet beskyttelse.Hos SMUK skincare har vi udviklet to nøgleprodukter, der arbejder i dybden og forbereder huden på solen – hver dag. Med rabatkoden beskyttelse25 kan du fra. d. 20.-30. juni 2025 få 25% på disse to produkter. SERUM – aktivt forsvar og glødVores serum er let, hurtigabsorberende og fyldt med A-, B3, C- og E-vitamin – nogle af de mest veldokumenterede antioxidanter i hudpleje. Serummet arbejder aktivt med at forebygge solskader, forbedre hudens struktur og giver en naturlig, jævn glød. SERUM er ideelt som første lag i din morgenrutine – især i de solrige måneder. OIL – næring, barriere og roVores olie er sammensat af nøje udvalgte planteolier som hybenkerne-, havtorn-, vilde blåbær- og argan olie – alle rige på essentielle fedtsyrer og antioxidanter og med en lille molekylestørrelse, så de nemt trænger ind i huden. OIL styrker hudens barriere, beroliger en evt. inflammation og binder fugten, så huden føles silkeblød og beskyttet hele dagen. Den fungerer som en naturlig buffer (de fleste olier indeholder naturlig SPF) under SPF og er perfekt til hud, der let bliver stresset af varme og sol.  Sådan bruger du dem sammenEn simpel og effektiv solplejerutine med SMUK skincare kan se sådan ud:1. Rens huden let om morgenen med 3IN1.2. Påfør SERUM for aktiv beskyttelse og glød. Massér den gerne ind i huden med en dejlig ansigtsmassage.3. Massér et par dråber OIL ind for fugt og barrierepleje.4. Afslut med din foretrukne solcreme (SPF 30+).5. Hvis man ikke skal ud og sole sig og vejret måske er lidt skyet, kan man godt bruge LIGHT med SPF156. Genopfrisk evt. med en fugt-mist i løbet af dagen. Solbeskyttelse handler ikke kun om at undgå forbrændingDet handler om at tage ansvar for din hud – nu og på sigt. Ved at kombinere SPF med en hudpleje fyldt med antioxidanter, giver du din hud mulighed for at stå imod både solen og hverdagens stressfaktorer. Vi har skabt disse to produkter med det formål at pleje huden nænsomt, men effektivt, beskytte den og give den de optimale betingelser – med rene aktive ingredienser med dyb respekt for naturen.🌿 Klar til at beskytte din hud med omtanke?
