Facial Care for Every Stage of Life

Regardless of your age, everyone benefits from gentle natural products that do not irritate your skin. At each stage of life, your skin requires different care. We have outlined the various stages below along with our favourite skincare products!

Skincare for Teenage Skin

Teenagers can suffer from blackheads and spots. Many acne treatments are harsh and dry out the skin. In response, the skin may produce extra sebum, worsening the acne. Skin with spots deserves gentle care. It is a good habit to gently cleanse your facial skin every evening. Always remove makeup first, for example, with an oil-based product.

A good second step is another cleanse, also known as double cleansing. This ensures all makeup residues and daily grime are removed. As a third step, you can exfoliate the skin to thoroughly clean clogged pores and prevent inflammation. Use an acid-based product to help dead skin cells shed more easily. For acne-prone skin, choose a product with salicylic acid.

Laboratory tests show that miconazole nitrate inhibits the growth of bacteria that cause teenage spots.

If this approach does not show improvement after about six weeks, you can try a cream with other ingredients such as miconazole nitrate and benzoyl peroxide. Laboratory tests show that miconazole nitrate inhibits the growth of bacteria involved in teenage spots. Benzoyl peroxide opens the oil gland ducts, improving sebum drainage. For young skin, always opt for a mild cream or light lotion that regulates moisture levels.

20 – 40 Years

At this stage of life, you usually have few or no wrinkles. Cleansing remains important for a radiant complexion. Remove dead skin cells once or twice a week with a peel or light exfoliator. Although your skin may not yet show clear signs of ageing, good sun protection is crucial! Sunlight is responsible for more than 80% of all wrinkles and other signs of skin ageing.

Everything you do for your skin now will pay off later. By protecting your skin well every day of the year, you can prevent pigmentation spots and wrinkles. The simplest option is to choose a day cream with a UV filter. Select the right products for your skin based on your skin type. A dehydrated skin requires a different approach than oily skin. Both Dr. Hauschka, Weleda, and MÁDARA offer gentle cleansing and care products for all skin types.

40+ Mature Skin

This skin is characterised by a lack of volume. Lines or wrinkles are visible around your eyes and mouth, and the skin around the eyes becomes thinner. You cannot stop genetic skin ageing. However, you can delay ageing caused by external factors. If you do not smoke and have always protected your skin well against UV radiation, you will now reap the benefits. Cleansing and removing dead skin cells by exfoliating with hydroxy acids help keep your skin shiny and smooth. Of course, using a sunscreen filter remains essential. Antioxidants can counteract the onset of skin ageing symptoms. The Smart Antioxidants range from MÁDARA includes an eye cream and a milk with natural antioxidants that protect collagen structures and promote the maintenance of firm, resilient skin.

A night cream with retinol (vitamin A) can reduce wrinkles and also helps against pigmentation spots. If your skin is very dehydrated or if you want to look smoother and fresher quickly, hyaluronic acid is an effective ingredient. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin with the primary property of retaining moisture. A serum with this substance can hydrate the skin so that the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles is reduced. Wrinkles appear to be filled in.
