Does beautiful skin require time-consuming care?
If by now you thought that this is the case – we have good news for you! You don't have time for skin care rituals? Even a 5-minute routine can offer spectacular results, as long as it is carefully thought out. In skin care, quality active ingredients and regularity go hand in hand, and multifunctional products will be an excellent choice for key skin care steps.
Key skin care steps – the foundation for healthy skin
Purification
Proper skin cleansing is an essential part of your daily routine. This is the basis for healthy skin. Even the best product won't work on poorly cleansed skin. Active ingredients will not be able to reach their destination, and therefore will not be able to work effectively. A two-step facial cleansing is the best way to remove makeup and SPF, as well as impurities that have accumulated on the skin during the day.
Did you know that the most common mistakes made during cleansing are m.in.: inaccurate makeup removal – skipping the neck area, hairline and nose wings, no two-step facial cleansing at all or using makeup remover products without an emulsifier? Remember that well-cleansed skin is the key to effective skin care.
Wondering which products are best to choose?
Our recommendation: In the first stage of cleansing, reach for the emulsifying makeup remover oil and SPF SQUEEZE AN ORANGE or emulsifying makeup remover butter and SPF MELT WITH PASSION.
In the second step, choose a gel or emulsion, tailored to your skin's needs.

- CLEANING ME SOFTLY – for dry and sensitive skin
- DEEPLY PORE CLEANSING GEL – for acne-prone, oily and combination skin
