Long-term strategies for an even complexion

An even complexion requires a holistic approach that includes nutrition, stress management and regular skin care.

  • A healthy diet rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins is just as important for radiant skin as adequate water intake.

  • Stress can also have a negative impact on the skin and lead to problems such as acne, redness or eczema. Relaxation techniques such as yoga, mediation and breathing exercises help to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and the carousel of thoughts.

  • Regular exercise not only relaxes the body, but also actively stimulates blood circulation. Because the skin needs time to regenerate, healthy and sufficient sleep is just as important for beautiful skin as it is for your general state of health.

  • Regular skincare ensures quality time for yourself and helps to remove excess flakes and sebum from your skin through exfoliation, which can promote impurities and inflammation.
