Step 1: Back to basics
A good basic routine consists of three pillars: mild cleansing, proper hydration, and daily protection. By limiting yourself to these fundamental steps, you give your skin the chance to find its own natural balance. When you cleanse and care for your skin at the same time every day, you build a foundation that you will benefit from for years. It is about choosing products that work with your skin instead of fighting against it. Once your basics are in order, you create a calm foundation that is less sensitive to external influences.
Step 2: Give your skin an extra boost
Sometimes your skin needs that little bit extra to truly glow or to tackle a specific concern. This is where the skin boost comes into play. Think of it as a targeted intervention: a powerful serum or an intensive mask containing exactly the ingredient your skin is asking for at that moment. Perhaps that is vitamin C for more clarity, or niacinamide to refine pores and reduce redness.
The beauty of a skin boost is that it doesn't have to be a permanent addition to a complicated routine. We look at current needs. By working in a targeted way, we prevent your skin from becoming lazy or overloaded by too many active substances at once.
Step 3: Listen to youre skin
Your skin is a living organ that changes every day. Did you sleep poorly? Is it very cold outside? Your skin reacts to everything. Instead of blindly following a fixed schedule for the rest of the year, take a moment each morning to look in the mirror and "feel."
Does your skin feel tight? Then it needs more hydration. Do you see more impurities? Then rest and mild cleansing are advised. By learning to listen to your skin's signals, you can subtly adjust your routine without overhauling the entire base. This ensures stability and a healthy appearance, regardless of the season.
Forget TikTok trends: Focus on your skin barrier
We see it often: aggressive scrubs or harsh peels going viral on TikTok. Unfortunately, the result is frequently damaged skin. In 2026, we are focusing specifically on strengthening that barrier. A strong skin barrier keeps moisture in and protects you against external influences, such as blue light from your screens and air pollution.
Beauty from within: Nutricosmetics
Skincare doesn't stop with what you apply topically. In 2026, we are also looking at the inside. With nutricosmetics—think of high-quality supplements such as collagen or support for your gut health—we provide your skin with the building blocks it needs. A healthy interior is immediately reflected on the outside.
