Active ingredients for summer: these are the ones you should definitely use!

Summer is finally here! The warm temperatures and sunny days lure us outdoors. However, our skin needs special care and protection during this season. Sun bumps, sun allergies, sunburn, pigmentation, stretch marks, and wrinkles are just a few of the challenges our skin faces in the summer. In this blog post, we want to introduce you to our best active ingredients that will protect and nourish your skin during the hot months.

1. Sun acne

Active ingredient recommendation: SkinPure, CBD-Balance

Sun bumps are often caused by a combination of sunscreen and sweat clogging the pores. SkinPure helps keep pores clear and also has an antibacterial effect. CBD-Balance reduces sebum production and decreases skin shine.

2. UV-induced skin aging

Active ingredient recommendation: Antileukine 6, Sunwell, Anti-Ox

UV radiation attacks the nuclei of our cells. In addition to UV filters, special active ingredients can help prevent skin damage. Antileukine 6 and Sunwell specifically counteract cell damage, while Anti-Ox provides antioxidant properties and protects the skin from free radicals.

3. Sunburn

Active ingredient recommendation: AloeFerment, Delisens

If it's too late and the sun has caught up with you, Aloe Vera can help. It is known for its soothing and healing properties. Furthermore, Calcium Pantothenate (Provitamin B5) helps to regenerate the skin and provide moisture. DeliSens quickly soothes irritated skin and acts against redness and burning.

4. Pigmentation

Active ingredient recommendation: Niacinamide

Pigment spots are often caused by sun exposure. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) helps brighten the skin by reducing melanin production, thus ensuring a more even skin tone.

5. Cellulite and stretch marks

Active ingredient recommendation: ShapePerfect, Kalpariane, Apicell

Especially in summer, flaws on the body become more visible. ShapePerfect helps break down fat cells and reduces the appearance of cellulite. Kalpariane and Apicell counteract scars and stretch marks and keep the tissue elastic.

6. Wrinkles

Active ingredient recommendation: ParaLift, EGeffective

ParaLift reduces expression lines by having a muscle-relaxing effect. EGEffective stimulates cell renewal and thus ensures a plumper, wrinkle-free skin texture.

7. Dark under-eye circles

Active ingredient recommendation: OcuLift, GlamGlance

OcuLift and GlamGlance ensure that accumulations of red blood pigments under the thin skin are effectively drained – the main cause of dark circles under the eyes.

Don't forget to drink plenty of fluids and spend more time in the shade.

For sun protection, we recommend SolarZinc and SolarLite
