RADIANT GLOW GUIDE - HOW TO MAKE YOUR SKIN GLOW
Influenced by hormones and complex biophysical processes, the skin follows a 24-hour day-night rhythm. During the day it acts as a barrier against external influences and at night it enters a "recovery phase".
To achieve a radiant complexion every day, you should adapt your skincare routine and lifestyle accordingly to provide your skin with exactly what it needs at the right moment.
Because everything in the body is connected and, as the largest organ, the skin is one of the strongest indicators when something is wrong. Skin conditions are often caused by an unhealthy gut, hormonal imbalance or mental stress³. Only when everything inside is in balance will you achieve the external glow you desire.
The Radiant Glow skin program combines holistic skin-specific combination routines from skin care, nutrition and nutritional supplements for a radiant complexion. It was developed by dermatologists so that you can concentrate fully on the regeneration process and reduce stress.
In this article, you will find out more about the measures you can take to support the influential factors for radiant skin.
Skin care in the morning for a strengthened skin barrier
The morning skincare routine prepares your skin for the stressful day and external stimuli and protects it from stressors such as free radicals, UV light and drying heating air.
Step 1: Cleansing with warm water or a light cleansing product removes grease and dirt and allows the following skin care products to work better.
Step 2: Toner to balance your pH after cleansing.
Step 3: The Fabulous Face Recovery Mist protects the skin from free radicals, for firmness and a radiant complexion.
Step 4: The Prebiotic Purifying Serum combines effective pre-biotic compounds with skin-soothing components for a strengthened skin biome and a pure and balanced complexion.
Step 5: Apply the Hydrate Facial Moisturizer after the serum has taken effect for intensive hydration and protection against stressors such as free radicals.
Step 6: High Dose Body Balm with vitamins A, E, hyaluronic acid and niacinamides strengthens the skin barrier and soothes irritation and redness for an even, firm complexion and radiant complexion.
Skin care in the evening for intensive regeneration
The evening routine provides your skin with the most intensive natural nutrients overnight to support the skin's repair and regeneration processes. Intensive hydration and vitamin C should be so powerful that your skin still feels hydrated in the morning and you wake up with a radiant complexion.
Step 1: Cleanse with Green Coffee Enzyme Cleanser to deeply exfoliate your skin and remove dead skin, makeup and other pollutants. Use about twice a week, depending on how your skin feels.
Step 2: Toner
Step 3: The Fabulous Face Recovery Mist protects the skin from free radicals, for firmness and a radiant complexion.
Step 4: Cellular Resurgence Serum offers the most effective compounds for deep skin regeneration with natural, bioavailable vitamin C and hyaluronic acid.
Step 5: Hydrating Face Mask, it deeply moisturizes and supports smooth and radiant skin. Leave it on overnight as an intensive treatment.
However, the skincare routine is only one part of a 360° skincare approach. It works hand in hand with your lifestyle and nutrition routine. You can only achieve your skin goals in the long term if all factors work towards the same goal.
Nutrition & gut health - the "gut-skin axis"
Nutrition is an important part of skincare, as poor diet, an unbalanced gut microbiome and food intolerances can be the cause of dull skin, blemishes and irritation. In the same sense, selected supportive foods and a healthy gut can strengthen the skin, stimulate skin metabolism and thus slow down the ageing process and regenerate damaged skin and make it glow.
Collagen⁴ is particularly important for skin structure and firmness. Here, a dosage of 2.5g - 5g is essential for significant results¹.
Essential fatty acids such as fish oil and micronutrients such as carotenoids (especially beta carotene and lycopene) provide additional protection against inflammation and thus the body's own inflammatory reactions, which are expressed in spots or redness².
Our skin supplement, 6 Elements Skin Repair, combines the essential nutrients for a strong skin matrix and protection against oxidative stress.
