sunshine, time spent outdoors and long, relaxing walks. It is
therefore vital to incorporate sun protection into your daily
routine. Anti-aging skincare is of little use when sun protection
is missing from your beauty routine. Sun protection products should
be the be-all and end-all of your routine. Be sure not to focus
solely on the areas that are the most susceptible to sunburn. The
face, lips and hair should be protected as well.1. Day cream with SPF
The face is susceptible to damage caused by UV rays therefore it
must be protected at all costs. A day cream with SPF is recommended
to prevent premature skin aging. The main function of sunscreen is
to protect the skin against UV rays. A day cream with an SPF
protects, nourishes and repairs the skin.2. Protect the skin all year round
Ideally, sun protection should be integrated into your daily
skincare routine - during summer and winter. As little as 20
minutes of sun exposure a day adds up to 120 hours of UV exposure a
year. Your skin will thank you for every day that it is protected
against the harmful effects of the sun.Cosmeterie tip: Korean women are on top of their game when it
comes to using sunscreen: the Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics
SPF50+ PA++++ is a top-class option with its SPF 50 PA
++++.3. Protection for the eye and lip region
The most sensitive areas of the skin - that are coincidentally the
parts of the skin that are more susceptible to UV damage - are
often neglected. When exposed to direct sunlight, it is advised to
protect the lips with a balm.
Tip: The rich textures of lip care products can be used on the eye
region too!Cosmeterie tip: The Mimitika Sunscreen Lip Balm with SPF
20 is a popular companion when sunbathing. It offers
protection, does not dry out the skin and provides a clear
finish.4. SPF for the hairEven though the hair does not show any signs of sunburn, it is
essential to protect it from UV rays. Because the head is
oftentimes exposed to the sun, it can weaken the keratin structure
of the hair and, at times, this can lead to hair damage. To
counteract this, it is advised to use a shampoo with UV protection
or sun protection oil.2024-02-06T00:00:00+01:002024-02-06T00:00:00+01:00https://www.cosmeterie.ch/en-CH/info/magazine/valentines-day-glowCosmeterieswitzerland@cosmeterie.comhttps://www.cosmeterie.ch/en-CHLove Is In The Air - because what could be

meters. Thus, taking care of our skin in a proper manner is
imperative.A rich body lotion provides sufficient moisture and supplies the
skin with important nutrients to create a particularly soft and
radiant finish. At the same time, the entire body is enveloped with
a subtle fragrance, conjuring up a pleasant skin feel.Product recommendations:Prodigieux® Lait

effectTo give the skin a youthful appearance and fresh glow, facial
serums are a true MUST-HAVE. Serums are specially formulated to
contain active ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid or Q10, in
higher concentrations than conventional creams. This makes facial
serums potent boosters for the skin.Product recommendations:The ROYAL
Intensive Serum by Dr. Tonar actively
helps the skin fight against the first signs of aging thereby
slowing down the aging process. In addition, the skin structure is
strengthened thanks to an increase in collagen formation and

with family and friends. Nevertheless, the weeks leading up to
Christmas are usually very turbulent and stressful - and oftentimes
we tend to neglect taking time out for ourselves. All the more
reason to treat yourself to conscious self-care sessions to give
your mind and body a break. We have put together a little facial
care routine to give your skin a fresh glow this holiday
season.Step #1: Deep cleansingOur skin is exposed to impurities, excess sweat and make-up on a

your skin will enjoy the nurturing active ingredients to reveal
renewed radiance.Our tips:The Pumpkin

glowing complexion.Bio Thai's Sensory Black Mask

when we face stressful situations. Using liquid peels on a regular
basis breathes freshness and radiance into the skin and frees it
from dead skin cells.Our tips:Alpha

products should not be missing in your care routine.
Chemical peels like Alpha Hydroxy Acids
(AHAs) and Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs) are
two active ingredients found in many cosmetic products that have
great benefits for the skin. Learn more about the differences
between the two acids and what benefits they can have for your
skin.Which acid should you use for which skin type?AHAs are water-soluble, so they only work on the skin's surface.
Generally, they are preferred for normal to dry, sun damaged
skin.BHAs are oil-soluble, making them best for normal to oily skin
prone to bumps, blemishes, and enlarged pores. Since BHAs also have
natural skin-soothing properties, they are gentle enough even for
sensitive skin.Which acid offers which advantages?AHAs:Exfoliate the top layers of the skinStimulate collagen productionProtect your skin from free radicalsLighten of dark spotsMoisturiseBHAs:Dissolve dead skin cellsMinimize pores and blackheadsStimulate the body's collagen production & improve skin
textureEven out the complexionApplication tips:Whether you use them in the form of a wash gel, serum, toner or
cream - if you've never used acids in your care routine, it is
important to start with a small dose (1-2x/week). If your skin
tolerates them well, you can increase how frequently you use them
after a few weeks.Important: Whenever using skincare products with acids, make
sure you're wearing sufficient UV protection!Product Recommendations AHAdr Tônar Cosmetics

has destroyed everything forcing you to leave your home country.

TODAYMore refugees than ever beforeSome 103 million people are on the run worldwide. That's more
than 1% of the world's population, and that number is rising
dramatically. Since the end of 2021, 13.6 million more people have
had to leave their homes. The main reason for this 15% increase is
the war in Ukraine. The majority of refugees are women and
children.The current situation is particularly severe in Turkey
and Syria:Turkey is the country that currently hosts the most refugees -
3.7 million. The earthquake in February this year thus also hit
many people who had already lost everything. Things are made worse
by a harsh winter with temperatures around freezing point.And, after a year of war, the situation still hasn't improved in
Ukraine: Many families have lost their homes and are waiting in
makeshift shelters, both in Ukraine and abroad, hoping for news
that the war has ended.War always hits the weakest the hardest. Those who suffer are
often children, the elderly, and the socially disadvantaged. Women
play a central role in crisis regions: it is often they who take
care of basic services: medical facilities, childcare, etc.Fleeing is never voluntary!Women generally flee for the same reasons as men: for political
or religious reasons, or because they belong to a specific ethnic
or social group. In addition, however, there are women-specific
reasons for fleeing that do not affect men in the same way, such as
sexual exploitation, female genital mutilation, forced marriages,
or domestic violence, which force women to leave their homes.Violence against womenWhen social structures change in a country, the propensity for
violence often increases. This can result in kidnappings and
systematic raping of women and girls, crimes which are also often
part of war strategy. Victims of violence often suffer long-term
psychological consequences throughout their lives, from depression
to suicidal thoughts and social isolation.The Corona pandemic has further fueled the
situationFor example, there has been an increase in violence against
women refugees, and not only in their home countries. The low-wage
sector, as well as areas of informal work, have often completely
collapsed as a result of the pandemic, causing many women to lose
their livelihoods.The Corona pandemic has also led to an increase in poverty in
many countries. And, unfortunately, when poverty increases, so do
instances of forced marriage, child labour, and human trafficking.
Many refugee girls around the world have had to abandon their
education and work instead, or even leave their homes.Precarious conditions on the runWomen are also often exposed to dangerous situations while
fleeing: sexual violence, no protection, no hygienic care, often no
access to food for days. Many have their children with them. It is
difficult for them to obtain items such as sanitary products or
nappies. Pregnant and sick women have no access to medical
care.Women as a sign of hopeDespite all these hurdles, women and girls show great
resilience, ingenuity, and courage in overcoming these problems. In
many cases, they're the ones who find the strength to rebuild not
only their own lives but also the lives of their families.Aid organisations play a central role in this area: for example,
they ensure that children born while on the run are also issued
birth certificates. The UNHCR specifically addresses the needs of
women in all its programmes, focusing, for example, on education
for girls and women or job programmes to enable women to gain their
independence. At the same time, women need a safe place to sleep
and separate toilet facilities - basics that cannot be
forgotten.The UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe Germany for UNHCR works to improve the
lives of women"Our goal is to build on the rich experiences, skills, and
aspirations of women and help them realise their full potential -
through better access to education, decent work, and legal and
health services."
UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Fillippo GrandiThe UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe is one of the organisations that help
as quickly as possible on the ground after disasters such as the
earthquake in Turkey and Syria. They take into account the specific
needs of women - and we would like to support their work.Help women on the run to rebuild their lives - we will match all

covered in snow call for a skiing holiday. Unfortunately, cold
temperatures and winter sporting activities are not particularly
beneficial for the skin. Icy temperatures, cold air and wearing
thick, woollen hats can damage the skin and cause dry, chapped
areas.That's why it is vital to take extra care of your skin and
invest more time into your skincare routine after a day on the
slopes. Give your skin a lit-from-within glow with our après-ski
beauty routine on your next skiing trip.Step #1: moisture, moisture and more
moistureWhile skiing, the skin is exposed to icy and especially dry air
for hours, which can lead to dehydration and a dull-looking
complexion. A high-quality moisturiser is essential to prevent this
from occurring. The Vital Facial Cream
by NUORI is a lightweight cream that restores the
skin's vitality. The cream is formulated with hyaluronic acid that
is uniquely split to penetrate deeper into the layers of the skin
to restore the skin's natural moisture balance.Discover more moisturisers here.Step #2: renewed glow for your eyesDark spots may appear under the eyes after 2 days on the slopes
and the eye area may appear more lacklustre. The skin around the
eyes is particularly sensitive and eye masks can gently pamper
tired and stressed eye areas. The Water Drench Hyaluronic Cloud Hydra-Gel Eye
Patches offer an instant boost of freshness and
minimise the appearance of fine lines. Their hydrating effect
amplifies the sparkle in your eyes again.Browse a wide selection of high-quality eye care products

also be uncomfortable or even painful. The combination of cold air
and damp heat that tends to build up under balaclavas does nothing
to prevent your lips from chapping. Rich lip care is therefore a
must-have for any asprès-ski beauty ritual. Dr.
Jart+'s Ceramidin Lip Pair is designed to
intensively nourish dry and dehydrated lips and prevent dryness by
forming a protective barrier on the skin.Explore a wide assortment of lip care products here.2023-01-26T00:00:00+01:002023-01-26T00:00:00+01:00https://www.cosmeterie.ch/en-CH/info/magazine/clean-girl-aestheticCosmeterieswitzerland@cosmeterie.comhttps://www.cosmeterie.ch/en-CHIf you're active on social media platforms, like TikTok or
