Spring cleaning for the skin

Every year, the spirit awakens anew as winter slowly recedes. In nature, it is the crocuses that stick their noses out of the ground and catch the first rays of sunshine. For us humans, on the other hand, our skin slowly breathes a sigh of relief. Gone are the days of the freezing cold and the severe strain on skin and hair. With a spring clean, you can make it even easier for the body's largest organ to shine like the sun in spring.

Find the right skincare program for your skin type

Normal skin, sensitive skin, oily skin, combination skin - every skin type has different needs and should be cared for accordingly. Nature has arranged it so that our body or skin renews itself once every 28 days. This process can be supported by supporting all-round renewal with the right skincare products.

But what is the right skin care for normal skin? What can I do about oily skin? What helps against dandruff and how do I look after my lips properly? Questions upon questions that can often be answered with natural products.

Before you decide on a skincare product, it is important to know what your skin needs. Do you suffer from flaky, dry facial skin after a long winter? An appropriate skin care product with important and soothing nutrients can help to clear up the skin's appearance and give it a fresh, lively touch.

Oily skin, on the other hand, has different needs. It benefits most from skincare products that reduce excess sebum production and ensure that the skin can breathe. Ingredients from nature, such as aloe vera, soothe and provide important nutrients at the same time.

Even if normal skin is the ideal appearance, this skin type cannot do without care. Whether vitalizing products or products that maintain the skin's elasticity and resilience - care is also possible for this skin type.

Exfoliants are an important part of skin care. They have the advantage that they support the all-round renewal of the skin and gently remove dead skin cells. The good news is that you can also make your own scrubs.

Make your own scrub - the right recipes

There are classic peeling recipes that you can easily make yourself at home. We reveal three simple recipes here.

The sugar scrub:

The sugar scrub is one of the easiest scrubs to do at home. All you need is white sugar and oil in a 1:1 ratio. If you want to gently nourish and moisturize your skin, use more oil than sugar.

For dry and sensitive skin, use once a month. For oily skin, you can use the scrub twice a week. Normal skin is happy with a sugar scrub once a week.

Coffee scrub for dry skin types:

For dry skin, you can create a nourishing paste with a mixture of coconut oil and approx. five tablespoons of brewed coffee powder. Massage this mixture into damp skin immediately after showering and leave on for a few minutes. Then rinse off the scrub with water. The caffeine in coffee drains the skin, stimulates blood circulation and therefore tightens the skin.

Chamomile healing clay peeling for skin impurities:

Oily skin and blemished skin benefit from an exfoliating mixture of healing clay and warm camomile tea. After making the mixture from a cup of chamomile tea and 5 tablespoons of healing clay, spread the mixture over your face. Leave the healing clay on for at least 15 minutes and then wash it off with water. It is important that you then apply a nourishing skin cream.

Feuerstein Essentials also offers a high-quality scrub for the body and face, which is ideal for spring-cleaning your skin. The fine particles are made from apricot kernels and bamboo, which remove superficial flakes of skin and improve circulation. Thanks to the sweet almond oil, the skin is nourished in a natural way and regains healthy moisture.

Exfoliation not only important for the face

It's not just your face that needs a spring clean, your body, hair and lips also need care and a nudge in the right direction after a long winter. A gentle skincare program consists of several components and ensures that you shine with renewed beauty.

The scalp and hair also suffer greatly during the winter period. Wearing hats, the heat of the hairdryer and the heavy use of hairspray often cause dandruff, the hair dries out and the hairstyle is no longer attractive. The hairdresser provides first aid by cutting off the damaged ends, which are often plagued by split ends.

But then it's time for intensive cleansing, which you can do in the comfort of your own home. Your hair will also enjoy a relaxing scrub, while your scalp will be better supplied with blood. If you are prone to oily hair, hair scrubs can normalize sebum production.

Care for your lips

The face scrub gives the facial skin a soothing wellness treatment. The lips, on the other hand, are often left out. But even the soft, smooth lips suffer from the cold season. They often become cracked and chapped, so suitable lip care is essential for the all-round renewal of your body. The sugar scrub is wonderful for caring for your lips, alternatively you can also mix honey with sugar. With a valuable intensive care product, you can ensure that the lipid barrier of your lips is restored and that you can still kiss tenderly tomorrow.

Body care from the hairline to foot care

A thorough body scrub not only ensures that you feel good in your skin again, but also that the gray veil of winter disappears. Long pants can finally be banished to the wardrobe again, but smooth, soft knees, legs and arms are desirable.

High-quality body scrubs from the Feuerstein Essential cosmetics range contain all the valuable ingredients you need for the perfect skin look on your body. Declare war on old skin flakes and care for your skin with the best products that nature has created in symbiosis with science.

Don't forget your feet in this care routine. They carry us through life day after day, so they deserve a little care too. Treat yourself to an invigorating foot bath with a nourishing bath salt. If you suffer from dry skin, you can revitalize the water with a little milk or cream. Then remove calluses and flakes from your heels with a body or foot scrub. Clean your toenails and then massage the soles of your feet with a moisturizing cream. Because the time will soon have come when your feet can once again be presented in sandals and fine straps.

Suitable for spring and protected for summer

Spring is the season of mildness, but summer is already waiting just behind it. Spring-cleaning your skin is not just about mitigating the effects of winter. It is also a preparation for summer, which can also be very stressful for our skin. Intense heat, sweating and sunburns put a strain on our body's largest organ. Well nourished and well cared for skin can cope much better with the stresses of the weather than skin that has received little attention.

Our Feuerstein Essential line contains the right care product for every need and is able to support you and your skin during spring cleaning. Rely on our expertise and quality. For yourself, for your skin, for your radiant appearance.
