Perfume Facts Worth Knowing

2025-04-01T00:00:00+02:00

Your choice of perfume can have a lot to say about your personality! Whether you love subtle floral scents, or strong, sensual fragrances, here are some tips about perfume you may find interesting! Spray your perfume on after your shower! When your skin is cleansed and moisturized (e.g. with your favourite lotion), the perfume can last longer. Freshly hydrated skin absorbs scent better and you can extend the shelf life of your perfume! DO NOT use perfume on your hair. Most perfumes contain alcohol, which can lead to dryness if used frequently. Never rub perfume with your wrists! This is a common mistake - rubbing the scent between your wrists increases the interaction of the scent with the natural oils on your skin. This can lead to a breakdown of the scent. Your girlfriend's scent doesn't smell as good on your skin as it does on her? This could be due to a difference in your skins pH levels. Many factors, such as sweat production or diet, can play a role. Less is more! Supposedly Cleopatra had the sails of their ships soaked in perfume so that their imminent arrival could be smelled as far as Rome! Now, it is an absolute no-go to leave a thick cloud of scent behind you. No matter which perfume you use, always use it discreetly, because your friends and colleagues experience fragrances differently than you! Men's fragrances aren't just for men. Research has suggested that a third of the men's fragrances sold are in fact worn by women. Take a “smell break”. We are happy to test several perfumes while shopping and discover new fragrance compositions. After a while, however, you may get the feeling that every scent smells the same. Tip: The small bowl filled with coffee beans near the display is not only for decoration. The smell of the coffee beans can help to neutralize the scent of perfumes in your nose, so take a quick break from fragrance shopping and breathe in the lovely scent of coffee instead! Afterwards, you can get back to finding your signature scent.

Beauty Test: ziaja "Goat's Milk"

2025-04-01T00:00:00+02:00

care series Goat's Milk by ziaja Product Tester: Alicia, 32 years old skin type: sensitive, dry in some places, skin irritation and blemishes tend to develop quickly if the wrong products are used Let's face it, humans are creatures of habit. Changes are always viewed with scepticism at first, and you always approach the matter cautiously. It takes a little effort to overcome your fears and try something new. The same goes for me, especially when it comes to skincare. Why change something when it has worked quite well so far? For me personally, there are actually only two main factors in changing products: effect and price. Experience has shown that it is quite difficult to find great products at an excellent price point. An entire care set can easily cost over €100. That's why the ziaja brand caught my eye. They offer a huge selection of product lines for every skin and hair type, at affordable prices. There are two things I think are particularly commendable about this brand: ziaja does not test on animals When it comes to the addition of preservatives, the saying goes: "As much as necessary, but as little as possible!" So, enough babble - let's go, ziaja! Face: Recommended skin type: Very dry or mature skin. The products are not recommended for acne-prone and oily skin! Make-up Remover: Removes eye make-up very gently. No burning - no rubbing necessary - leaves no skin irritation. Cleansing Milk: Is very rich and super gentle. However, my skin is always prone to blemishes, so I recommend this for very dry and mature skin types (as described on the packaging). Day cream: This cream is quickly and easily applied. It has a delicate texture and is quickly absorbed, and leaves the skin feeling soft, without being greasy. Body: Recommended skin type: Normal to dry skin Not recommended for: Very dry skin, sensitive, or blemish-prone skin. Shower Gel: Cleanses incredibly gently and does not leave the skin feeling dry. Body lotion: Definitely one of my favourites from the test series, as it absorbs quickly and leaves the skin feeling totally soft. It is not greasy and has a lovely, light texture. Body butter: This product also has an unexpectedly light texture that makes the skin particularly soft. Personally, I can imagine the body butter as a good alternative to body lotion for dry areas; for me, it is always the shins, for example, that could use an extra dose of care. Hair: Recommended hair type: Dry, dull and straggly hair It's hard to imagine what my hair has been through. I dye my hair very often and therefore am always in need of a proper care boost! I was totally unbiased when it came to these hair products and didn't expect a wow effect, but WOW! Shampoo: When I shampooed, I was amazed at how incredibly soft and gently my hair was cleaned. My scalp usually reacts immediately with dandruff or skin irritation if the shampoo is too aggressive! Conditioner: The goat's milk keratin hair conditioner is the ideal complement to the shampoo and ensures easy combing. Hair mask: My personal highlight was the hair mask! I was really sceptical until the end and thought I'd only believe it when my hair was blow-dried. The last time I had such soft hair was after an intensive treatment at the hairdresser. This hair mask is now an absolute "must-have" for me and I already have it in the shower! My favourite product from the "Goat's Milk" series: Last but not least, I would like to mention the hand cream, which - as you can easily see - has already become a staple in my handbag. Hand creams are a dime a dozen, but I'm really excited about this one! My hands don't have any special care requirements, but in winter my skin, especially around the knuckles, tends to get really dry and irritated. This hand cream is ideal for me, and anyone else, who spends a lot of time at their computer. It absorbs quickly, has no greasy film, and leaves your hands incredibly soft! My conclusion on the “Goat's Milk” products from ziaja: With normal skin, with minor complaints such as dry patches, or straw-like hair, you will be very happy with this series. Great care at a low price! What I don't like so much: The intense scent of all products in the Goat's series. The smell is very “soapy”. The products remind me of the classic DOVE soap bar. I personally like this scent, but I can imagine that it would be too intense for some. The products would be perfect they used a little less fragrance. All in all I really enjoyed the test and I discovered a few NEW products for myself :)

Checklist for the Perfect Straightener

2024-09-30T00:00:00+02:00

There are straighteners in abundance, but what is the right product for you and how do you use it correctly? Pay attention to the price, technical aspects, hair type and the condition of your hair. We'll give a few pointers for buying and using to avoid hair damage! Checklist for the right straightener: - In order to avoid permanent heat damage, your styling device should have a temperature control. Healthy and naturally straight hair generally requires less heat than very frizzy or thick hair. - Fine or shorter hair usually only needs straightening irons with narrow plates. For very thick hair, we recommend using models with wide heating plates. - Pay attention to the coating! Ceramic, titanium or tourmaline are gentle on the hair and increase the gliding ability when straightening. - There are now models that also have a heat protection sensor. The temperature is adjusted automatically and can counteract hair damage automatically. - Ion technology: During straightening, the hair is coated with negatively charged ions, which has a positive effect on the moisture balance. Application error: Never straighten your hair when it's damp or wet! Always pay attention to the right temperature and be sure to adapt it to your hair type (see above). Don't pull your hair down with the straightener. Take a comb and pull out a thick strand. Don't straighten away from the hairline, but rather away from the centre of the strand. Very damaged hair, e.g. after bleaching, should not be straightened for a long time. The hair structure is already very damaged, and if styled with heat, the hair can break off. Straightening hair WITHOUT heat protection is taboo! Never forget to use a heat protection spray. This wraps around your hair like a protective coat and protects the hair structure from heat.

Goodbye Dry Hands!

2024-09-30T00:00:00+02:00

Cold, warm, heavy work, frequent hand washing and disinfectants can put a lot of strain on the skin, and our hands need a lot of extra care! The skin on the hands often reacts with fine cracks, is brittle, reddened, or burns. The cold season and the warm air from the heating system are often to blame for irritated skin. Here are a few quick and easy tips on how to best take care of your hands! Washing your hands - but doing it right! Nowadays, in particular, it is all the more important that we wash our hands often. Temperatures that are too cold or too hot, as well as aggressive washing lotions, can put additional stress on the skin of your hands and dry them out quickly. Try using a pH-neutral soap, especially on sensitive skin. It gently removes dirt and dead skin cells, while also protecting the skin barrier. Hand masks Use a special hand mask from time to time. It has the same effect as a face mask and refreshes the skin without weighing it down. Tension and dryness can be alleviated and the skin barrier is strengthened. Hand cream If you tend to have dry hands in general, it makes sense to use a very rich and moisturising hand cream, but pay attention to your skin type, because very sensitive skin or skin prone to neurodermatitis reacts quickly to fragrances and other chemical additives. Did you drink too little? It has long been known that the structure of the skin is often defined by its internal well-being. Insufficient fluids, poor nutrition or deficiency symptoms can also be reasons why your skin reacts in a certain way irritated. If your skin is very irritated or reddened over a long period of time, you should consult a doctor and get the right advice.

Skin Care Tips for the Cold Season

2024-09-30T00:00:00+02:00

Autumn doesn't just shine with bright colours; it also brings frosty temperatures and dark fog. The cold season with all its facets is particularly demanding on the fine skin on your face and hands. The constant contrast between ice-cold temperatures and warm, dry heating air can cause your skin to become irritated, reddened and often very dry. Here we give you a few useful tips on how to care for your skin through the cold season, without much effort! Moisture boost! Why does skin always get so dry when it gets cold? This is because our sebum glands produce less of the protective film of fat in icy temperatures. Dry heating air also removes moisture from the skin. At this time in particular, it is particularly important to add a few small aids to your care routine. Use a moisturising face mask or nourishing facial serum regularly. Adapt your care products to the condition of your skin. For example, very dry skin needs a very rich moisturiser. Avoid care products with high water content (these are more suitable for the hot months). Dab instead of rubbing After cleaning, dry your face and body with gentle dabbing movements and always use a clean, soft towel. We recommend a microfibre washcloth for your face. Cleanse, but carefully! Dry and sensitive skin often reacts to aggressive cleaning agents with redness, burning and feelings of tension. Since the skin barrier has already been weakened by the cold, it is advisable to use a gentle cleansing lotion. Above all, stay away from alcohol-based toner or aggressive scrubs. Lukewarm is the perfect temperature In autumn and winter, long hot bubble baths and showers are particularly tempting, but this could be exactly the reason why your skin is irritated. The skin's naturally protective oil barrier is broken down by the hot water which can cause the skin to lose moisture. Try to take a lukewarm shower and use mild shower gels for sensitive skin. Dry air Humidifiers ensure optimal moisture levels and prevent the feeling of very dry and stuffy air. You can even counteract the temperature change from cold to warm with a little DIY trick, and put wet towels on your heater.

Sun Protection: Myths and Facts

2024-05-27T00:00:00+02:00

Did you know? we don't get the majority of our annual sun dose on holiday, but in everyday life. According to a survey of 2,500 families by the University of Erlangen, only 30% of those surveyed stated that they took sun protection for themselves and their children just as seriously during daily life, as on vacation. It is always necessary to protect your skin when you plan to stay in the sun for a long period of time! according to a study by Brown University in Rhode Island, five sunburns before the age of 20 are enough to increase the risk of skin cancer enormously. regular visits to the solarium double the risk of developing melanoma. Artificial UV radiation is also particularly harmful to the eyes and can have serious consequences such as photochemical damage to the retina. the classic saying "I'm already tanned, nothing can happen to me anymore!" is false. Pre-tanned skin is not immune to sunburn or cancer and needs protection! If you were to compare the skin's own protection through self-tanning with sunscreen, we would have a sun protection factor of just 1.5. the right sun protection is just as important for our eyes as it is for our skin. Always wear sunglasses with a UV-400 label, especially in strong sunlight. No matter what time of year! even waterproof sun protection products need to be refreshed again and again. After two 20-minute stays in the water, only half of the original protection is still available. So the following rule applies: dry well after bathing and re-apply plenty of sun cream. To ensure full protection, you should really only apply sunscreen to completely dry skin! water can increase UV radiation many times over. What do UVA and UVB mean for sun protection products? UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin, down to the dermis, and are primarily responsible for skin ageing. They attack the collagen/elastin network and are also responsible for the formation of age spots. UVB rays transfer all the energy to the top layer of skin (epidermis). Although they increase the protective pigmentation of the skin, they are also responsible for the often painful sunburn. Both types of radiation can induce skin cancer and severely damage the skin! Basically: The products only offer adequate protection if they are used often and sufficiently!

Counteracting Strawberry Legs

2024-05-14T00:00:00+02:00

Particularly during summer, stylish dresses, skirts and shorts are in high demand. Using a razor to quickly remove hairs from the legs might seem like the quickest and easiest solution. However, this is exactly where mistakes happen that irritate the skin unnecessarily. The skin reacts with unattractive dark spots and forms strawberry skin. What this phenomenon is all about and how it occurs is explained here! What am I actually doing wrong? We all know this situation: you are late because you decided to put on that beautiful skirt at the last moment. Now it's time to get rid of the hair on your legs! You quickly hop into the shower and, being pressed for time, shave your legs with the dull razor that has been lying in the bathroom for ages. Instead of the recommended shaving gel, you quickly use your normal shower gel (or even shampoo!) instead of shaving cream. This is exactly what causes irritation and small dark spots on the skin. Simply put, the hair follicles are inflamed and the skin is irritated. This phenomenon is particularly common in people with a lot of hair. In addition to pimples appearing after shaving, another issue arises: strawberry skin. How to shave properly in order to prevent dark spots: 1.) Replace your razor blades regularly: Dull blades are an absolute no-go when it comes to hair removal and cannot give you a clean shave. Fresh blades are gentler on the skin and ensure a clean shave. 2.) Regular exfoliation and using mild toners before shaving: We recommend exfoliating the legs regularly. A body scrub helps to remove dead skin cells and ingrown hairs from the pores. A mild toner gently cleanses the skin after having used a body scrub and also removes impurities. 3.) Sufficient moisture Dry skin is particularly prone to excessive sebum production. This clogs the pores, causes unsightly pimples and results in strawberry skin. After shaving, use a moisturising lotion that has a soothing effect on the skin (preferably a gentle, fragrance-free formula). Don't feel like shaving?
