Gentle facial care with natural cosmetics in 6 steps

from Mara Wulkan February 14, 2022

Facial care is one of the most important parts of body care and requires some care. Most people struggle with oily, dry or blemished skin from time to time and it is not always clear where the causes actually come from.

Optimized facial care with natural cosmetics can not only eliminate skin impurities, but also slow down the signs of skin aging. However, in order to be able to buy the right natural cosmetics, you need a little background knowledge about your own skin type.

Fortunately, natural cosmetics are just as suitable for sensitive skin as they are for oily or normal skin. No harmful ingredients, no microplastics and in the vast majority of cases produced vegan, natural cosmetic products ensure optimal skin care and therefore a radiant complexion.

1. cleaning

The first and most important step in facial care is cleansing. Only when the skin has been cleansed down to the pores is it able to absorb the valuable skin care ingredients. The human skin on the face consists of numerous sebaceous glands. The sebum produced protects the skin from drying out. However, oil is very stubborn and can hardly be removed with water. Incorrect cleansing techniques can cause oil and sebum to enter the open pores and lead to blackheads and other skin impurities.

For this reason, it is advisable to use a special cleansing product from the natural cosmetics range. There is a wide variety to choose from, ranging from a micellar cleansing water to a facial oil and a classic cleansing milk.

The Cleansing Milk by Feuerstein consists of a high-quality mix of lemon balm, lady's mantle, apple mint and lime blossom. The natural composition ensures optimal removal of deposits, dirt and grease without drying out the skin.

2. peeling

Dead skin cells cannot always be removed directly when cleansing the face. In this case, exfoliation is the solution, as it not only stimulates blood circulation to the facial skin, but also removes stuck-on dirt. You will notice the effect immediately. The skin looks smooth and soft, the complexion radiant and young.

Exfoliation prepares the skin perfectly for the natural cosmetics used afterwards. However, make sure you only exfoliate twice a week at most, as a small part of the protective horny layer is removed.

Sensitive and blemished skin is predestined for exfoliation, but conventional exfoliators often contain microplastics that cannot be broken down. We therefore strongly recommend using a natural cosmetic that is gentle on the skin and the environment. There are high-quality Swiss natural cosmetics that do not contain any harmful ingredients and are therefore ideal for all skin types.

The Face & Body Scrub from Feuerstein is very well suited, which not only ensures smooth and nourished skin thanks to its invigorating mix of apple mint and apricot kernels, but also stimulates cell renewal.

3. toning

Toning the skin is done with a cleansing and nourishing toner and is an important step in facial care. A toner has many positive properties, including:

- A revitalizing effect on the facial skin
- Removal of make-up residues and skin particles
- Optimization of the complexion
- Moisturizing properties for optimal nutrient supply
- Reduction of redness and feelings of tension

Toning is the pinnacle of facial care for all skin types, as it really makes your skin glow with beauty. Toning liquids are equally suitable for facial care for men and women.

We rely on the Feuerstein Facial Tonicwhich consists of a valuable mix of lime blossom, edelweiss, camomile and lemon balm. Flawless skin, free from dirt and build-up is the perfect basis for further care. The tonic nourishes the skin and mattifies it in the long term. Sensitive skin is soothed rather than irritated by the natural ingredients. The chamomile it contains soothes the skin. Marigold (calendula) helps to heal skin injuries and wounds by promoting cell renewal and protecting the wound from inflammation and bacterial infestation. It also moisturizes and promotes skin regeneration - in a very gentle way.

4. hyaluronic serum

Once the skin has been prepared, it's time for intensive care. A hyaluronic serum impresses with its light texture and is literally absorbed by the optimally prepared facial skin. The tiny, natural-based care molecules are significantly smaller than in a classic cream. This allows the skin to absorb them much better.

A serum does not replace day and night care via cream, but supplements it. For dry skin, the moisturizing properties of the face cream are of great importance. Only very oily skin can benefit from using a serum alone, as the skin provides enough oil itself.

The hyaluronic serum should always be applied after cleansing, but before using a skin cream. If the pores are clean and open, the valuable ingredients can penetrate directly into the skin. If cream is applied beforehand, the serum can no longer be absorbed into the skin.

We recommend the Hyaluronic Acid Facial Serum of flint, which ensures a clear, radiant complexion with natural vitamins. The moisture retention of the skin cells is supported, while at the same time the moisture reservoirs are nourished and optimally prepared for subsequent care with a natural cream. Vitamin C has an anti-inflammatory effect, redness and pigmentation spots are visibly reduced and blemishes or spots heal more quickly. The extract from the bulbs of the summer bell slows down skin ageing, increases the skin's natural defenses, smoothes it and reduces wrinkles.

5. vitamin C face cream

The skin is exposed to adversity and environmental conditions every day, which can put it under a lot of strain. To protect itself against this, the skin needs vitamin C. This natural substance increases the natural protective barrier, similar to the body's own defense system.

With the ideal cream, you can care for your skin throughout the day and give it the help it needs to regenerate at night. For a fresh complexion, the skin needs moisture and protection from external influences. A light UV protection in the day cream can protect against premature skin ageing. Hyaluronic acid helps mature skin to bind moisture.

We recommend the Facial Cream Vitamin C by Feuerstein, which has a high vitamin C content and valuable active ingredients from lime blossom and edelweiss for a well-groomed complexion. Vitamin C not only ensures a smooth complexion, but also promotes the formation of collagen and helps to fade pigmentation spots. The cream can be used as a day and regeneration cream or as a treatment.

6. lip care

Despite all our efforts in facial care, the lips are one of the most frequently forgotten areas of the body. They need a lot of care, especially in winter, as otherwise they can develop a cracked surface and painful skin inflammation, as the lip skin itself has no sebaceous glands and therefore dries out quickly. Use lip balms with plant-based waxes and oils and care for your lips regularly. The ideal lip care is gentle on your skin and gives your lips back their elasticity and a full, healthy appearance.

Our recommendation is the constructive Lip care by Feuerstein, which is made from high-quality beeswax and vegetable oils. It provides long-lasting care and ensures that the lips do not lose their natural moisture. The balm contains a vitamin-rich formula that uses active ingredients such as lime blossom and honey to quickly restore the velvety softness of rough lips and provide effective protection.
