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.
