HOW MANY STEPS AWAY ARE YOU FROM HEALTHY SKIN?

How far are you from beautiful and healthy skin?

We get a ton of information about what an ideal beauty routine should look like, what we should be doing in the morning and before bedtime, and how we need a system. The 5-step, 10-step, Korean, Scandinavian, Japanese and the at-least-just-wash-your-face methods all provide good advice. I received a newsletter recently from a natural cosmetics line in which they argued that we only need one decent face cream as our skin has its own limits, just like our stomach does. However, they also acknowledged that the ritual of a beauty routine has physical and mental attributes. So I thought „Gosh, what do I expect from someone who gets their information from advertisements?”. I often see them lost in the isles browsing through products, and all the contradicting statements can puzzles even the professional.

I am not one to preach about a perfect solution, but I would like to offer some help and share my thoughts on this topic.

First, let’s take a look at the „one decent face cream is enough” idea. It is most certainly better than nothing, and the main thing will always be consistency and using high quality products, but however natural, bio, skin-friendly shea butter and coconut oil are, you can’t expect improvement from those alone. True, we are not poisoning our skin with preservatives and petroleum, but that is basically it. This kind of skin care is neither targeted, nor personalized.

Before I would go further, let’s go back to the topic of „do not fill up your skin with endless products”. Yes, our skin is unable to absorb endless amounts of substance. Luckily, it has quite a good system in place; it reacts when we “overdose” it, or put surprising amounts of ingredients on the skin surface. When the capillaries are trying to stock as much of the delicious goodies as they can, your skin may behave in a way which might look similar to an allergic reaction, but this side effect vanishes in 10-15 minutes. A real allergy is a different story.

I once attended a gorgeous gourmet dinner at a luxury hotel. The tastes and textures complemented each other so exquisitely it was an orgy of flavors. We finished eight courses without feeling full at the end, and some of my male colleagues even went out for pizza and beer afterwards.

If someone consciously builds up their skincare routine with the help of a professional and trusts the synergy of active ingredients, they will not only hydrate and nourish their skin with the appropriate ingredients, but will also keep it conditioned and have a better chance at fighting skin ageing.

This is not just a matter of vanity.

A basic step in a daily beauty routine should be cleansing. Better to use a deep cleaning product, but be careful not to dehydrate your skin! I love the MBR® Two in One Cleanser as it’s discreet, fresh and has a creamy texture that is easy to work with. Did you know that proper cleansing should take at least one minute? How many seconds do you spend with cleaning your face? Because most of us take 20-30 seconds, which half of what we should. I say it is a joy to keep a good advice with a little water and a creamy face cleaner!

MBR® - which owns trademarked active ingredients manufactured exclusively for the company - managed to put anti-aging components even in their cleansers!We do not have to feel dehydrated when washing our face and the unique ingredients (meadowfoam oil, crambe abyssinian oil, sea mayweed) provide silky smooth texture and radiance. 

For those who prefer fast solutions or does not like the creamy texture, I suggest using the foaming, extra fresh MBR® Foam Cleanser purifying face wash.The gentle tingling foam thoroughly cleans the skin while the amino acids and B5 support cell regeneration and improve tissue-structure. The 100 ml dispenser fits in the smallest places; you can bring it on a trip, to the gym, or even onboard!

We should be using cleansing products every morning and night to prepare our skin for the next step.

Do not forget that your skin protects you and stays with you until the end. Be nice to it!
