You know that weird feeling when you look in the mirror and think, “Something’s not right”? Well, that’s exactly what happens when you keep making makeup mistakes . Between the common beauty errors we all make and the traps even the pros sometimes fall into, it’s a real obstacle course! So today, we’re going to break down all those little self-sabotages that ruin our efforts. Because frankly, who wants to spend an hour in front of the mirror only to end up looking awful?

Mistakes to Avoid When Preparing Your Skin

Okay, let’s be honest: how many of you skip this step because “it’s fine anyway, my skin is clean”? Raise your hand, we’re not judging! But this is where everything happens, my dears.

Not Cleansing Your Skin: A Fatal Mistake to Avoid

Now we’re getting to the biggest problem with our morning routines. Forgetting to cleanse your skin before applying makeup is like trying to stick a poster on a dusty wall. It might stay put for two minutes, and then, good luck with the mess!

I know what you’re thinking: “But I washed my face last night!” Except your skin didn’t just sit idle overnight. It sweated, eliminated waste, produced sebum… In short, it worked like a little factory. The result: when you wake up, you have a thin, invisible film that will ruin the adhesion of your makeup.

And then we wonder why our foundation melts after two hours! A quick swipe of micellar water in the morning takes thirty seconds and makes all the difference. Not to mention hydration – applying makeup to dry skin guarantees a “cracked” effect worthy of a masterpiece painting… but not on your face!

Mistakes to Avoid : Neglecting the Basic Step

Makeup primer, that thing we look at on the shelf thinking, “Yet another product to buy”? Well, it turns out it’s your winning ticket to long-lasting makeup. Skipping makeup primer is exactly like trying to paint a wall without undercoat.

But be careful, not just any primer will do! Choosing the wrong makeup base can be a disaster. A base that’s too rich on oily skin will give you a guaranteed “ice rink” effect. A mattifying base on dry skin will leave you with a “lizard skin” look! Every skin type has its own needs, and believe me, an unsuitable base can turn your beauty routine into a complete catastrophe.

Mistakes to Avoid When Choosing and Applying Foundation

Ah, foundation! That little tube that gives us so much hope and can break our hearts in two seconds. It’s what will determine whether your makeup is a success or if you’ll spend the day avoiding mirrors.

Mistakes to Avoid : The Quest for the Perfect Shade

So, let’s be honest: who hasn’t ever had that horrible line between their face and neck? Choosing the wrong shade of foundation is the kind of mistake that can be seen from miles away and makes you look like a beginner, even if you’ve been wearing makeup for years.

The worst part is that we all have our silly little habits. There are those who systematically choose a lighter shade “to look less tired” (spoiler alert: it doesn’t work), and those who choose a darker shade “to look tanned” (spoiler alert: it just looks weird). Your foundation should disappear into your skin, period.

And then there’s the trap of mismatched foundation undertones . You can have the right intensity, but if the undertone is wrong, you’ll look like you’re wearing a mask. Cool skin tones clash with gold. Warm skin tones clash with pink. It’s simple math!

Application: Pitfalls to Avoid

Applying too much foundation : the panic reflex of all those who desperately want to cover everything up at once. Except the more you put on, the more noticeable it becomes! It’s a vicious cycle, but that’s how it is. The secret is to apply it in small layers and build it up where it really needs it.

And let’s talk tools! Using the wrong tools for foundation can ruin even the best product. Your old, flat brush that’s seen better days? Into the bin! A dirty sponge you’ve been using for weeks? Back to the bin! Each tool gives a different finish, so it’s best to choose the right one from the start.

Mistakes to Avoid in the Art of Contouring and Highlighting

Ah, contouring! That magical technique that promised to make us look like Kim Kardashian, but mostly taught us that we could end up looking like… a relief map! Not exactly the desired result.

Mistakes to Avoid : Overdoing It in Contouring

Too much contouring turns your face into a mountain landscape. Seriously, I’ve seen girls with more shadows on their faces than in a forest at midday! Contouring should be subtle. Otherwise, you look like a character from a 90s video game.

Bad blending technique : an absolute nightmare! You know, those poorly blended brown patches that make it look like you’ve smeared dirt all over your face? Yes, that’s exactly what happens when you don’t know how to blend. Patience and good brushes, my friends. That’s the foundation.

And then there are the most common contouring mistakes : blindly copying what you see on Instagram without considering your own face shape. Newsflash: we don’t all have the same face shape! What works on your favorite influencer might be a disaster on you.

Highlighting: When Light Becomes Dazzling

Highlighter is supposed to give that natural glow, “like you just got back from vacation.” But applying too much highlighter guarantees you’ll look like a disco ball! You’ll shine so brightly you’ll need sunglasses to even look at you.

Mistakes in highlighter placement are also disastrous. Applying highlighter everywhere “because it looks pretty” is a recipe for disaster. Highlighter should be applied to areas that naturally catch the light, not to the hollows of your face!

Mistakes to Avoid in Eye Makeup

Eyes are the most rewarding thing… and the most frustrating too! One minute you’re an artist, the next you look like a crying panda.

Mistakes to Avoid : Eyeshadow Mistakes

Choosing the wrong eyeshadow colors can literally dull your eyes. I have a friend with gorgeous blue eyes who insists on wearing blue eyeshadow. The result: her eyes completely disappear! It’s a shame because with copper or peach, she would be stunning.

The bad technique for blending shadows : my personal nightmare for years! You know that moment when you try to make a nice gradient and you end up with what we can politely call… an exploded rainbow? Yeah, that’s exactly it.

Mistakes to Avoid : Eyeliner and its Pitfalls

Eyeliner, that darn thing that can ruin your entire morning! Applying eyeliner that’s too thick is the kind of mistake that turns your beautiful eyes into little slits. And don’t even get us started on those days when it absolutely refuses to be symmetrical!

Eyeliner shape mistakes : copying someone else’s eyeliner shape without considering your own eye shape. If you have hooded eyes and you copy someone’s eyeliner with almond-shaped eyes, it’s going to be a disaster!

Mistakes to Avoid for Perfect Eyebrows

Eyebrows, those tiny hairs that have the power to completely transform your face! But beware, it’s also where the biggest damage can be done.

Mistakes to Avoid : Over-plucking Eyebrows

Over-plucking your eyebrows : a youthful mistake that still haunts you years later! How many of us massacred our eyebrows in the 2000s, thinking that “the thinner, the prettier”? Now that we know full eyebrows are in, it’s a real struggle to grow them back!

The wrong shape for your face : blindly following trends without considering what truly suits you. Do you have a round face and absolutely want straight eyebrows like on Instagram? Bad idea! Your eyebrows should adapt to your face shape, not the other way around.

Eyebrow Makeup: Between Art and Catastrophe

Drawing on eyebrows that are too dark gives that absolutely horrible “felt-tip brow” effect. Your eyebrows should look natural, even when made up! One shade too dark and bam, you end up looking like a cartoon character.

Eyebrow makeup mistakes also include using a single product all over the brow. The result: uniform, artificial-looking brows. The real trick is to vary the intensity for a natural look.

Mistakes to Avoid When Applying Blush and Lipstick

Now we come to the finishing touches! Those little details that can enhance your makeup… or completely ruin it if you’re not careful.

Mistakes to Avoid : The Blush That Betrays

Applying blush in the wrong place can completely change the shape of your face. Too low, and you look tired. Too high, and you look like a doll. The trick is to smile and apply it to the part that stands out. Easy peasy!

The wrong blush color : choosing a candy pink when you have olive skin, or a coral on very fair skin. It clashes! Your blush should complement your skin tone, otherwise it looks “applied.”

The Lips: A Zone of All Dangers

Choosing the wrong lipstick color can ruin your entire makeup look. Too intense a red with smoky eyes, and you’ve got yourself a visual overload! Balance, my darlings, always balance.

Improper lipstick application can turn even the most beautiful lipstick into a disaster. Dry lips, no lip line, a sloppy application… and there goes all the work!

Well, I could go on for hours telling you about all the makeup pitfalls! I still have plenty to tell you about general harmony and specific mistakes depending on the occasion.

Dandruff is a common scalp problem. In many cases, the deposits disappear again after a short time. If this is not the case, you can get rid of dandruff with a few home remedies and a little patience. From baking soda to anti-dandruff shampoo, get rid of dandruff on your scalp for good.

What is the cause of dandruff?

Dandruff is not just dandruff. Knowing the type of dandruff you have is important to finding the right treatment method. There are dry and greasy scales. Depending on the type, a different treatment is then effective.

dry scales

Dry dandruff is when the hairline or scalp is covered with small white flakes of skin. These then usually trickle down so that they are visible up to the tips of the hair. Those affected often also suffer from itching, sometimes redness and have a dry or greasy scalp.

Greasy scales

If the scalp produces excessive amounts of sebum, this can lead to the spread of bacteria and fungi. As a result, greasy scales develop. These are yellowish and larger than dry scales and have an oily consistency, which means that they can usually only be seen at the hairline.

Home remedies for dandruff: what works best?

Have you already found out if you suffer from dry or greasy dandruff? Then you can start the treatment.

Baking soda for dry dandruff

Baking soda acts like an exfoliant on the scalp, removing dead skin cells and excess sebum. In addition, a baking soda peeling is said to curb the growth of fungi and relieve itching and skin irritation.

Uses: However, since baking soda dries out the scalp, it should not be used for dandruff more than once a week.

Here’s how you do it:

• Wash your hair as usual.
• Dissolve a tablespoon of baking soda in water.
• Massage the solution in gently.
• Leave the baking soda on for a few minutes.
• Then rinse your hair well with warm water.

Natural yoghurt for dry dandruff

Plain yogurt can be used if you suffer from dry dandruff or dandruff caused by yeast. The yoghurt cultures fight the yeast fungus and moisturize the scalp.

Applications: You can repeat the hair treatment with natural yoghurt 2 to 3 times a week.

That’s how it’s done:

• Massage a small cup of plain yoghurt well into your hair.
• Then leave the mask on for 10-20 minutes.
• Then first rinse the mask well with water.
• Then wash your hair with shampoo as usual.

Olive oil mask against dry dandruff

With olive oil you can moisturize your scalp, which is removed by shampoo and the like. The most successful way to combat dandruff is with an overnight olive oil treatment.

Applications: An olive oil mask can be used up to 3 times a week.

That’s how it’s done:

• Put a few drops of olive oil on your scalp and gently massage the oil in.
• Then wrap your head in a towel.
• In the morning after getting up, wash your hair thoroughly with shampoo. Tip: first massage in the shampoo and only then rinse the hair with water. This will keep your hair from looking greasy.

Apple cider vinegar for dandruff

Apple cider vinegar has a stabilizing effect on the pH of our skin. It also cleanses the scalp and sebaceous glands. Finally, apple cider vinegar can reduce the growth of fungi.

Uses: Apple cider vinegar should not be used for dandruff more than 1 to 2 times a week as it can dry out and irritate the scalp.

That’s how it’s done:

• Mix half a glass of apple cider vinegar with half a glass of lukewarm water.
• Pour the mixture over your scalp.
• Wrap a towel around your head and leave the mixture on for about 30 minutes.
• Then wash your hair with water.
• The vinegar smell should go away as your hair dries.

Tea tree oil for greasy dandruff

Tea tree oil has antiseptic, antibacterial and antimicrobial effects. This can limit the growth of fungi. Since greasy dandruff is usually caused by fungi on the scalp, the use of tea tree oil is ideal.

Applications: Used three times a week, tea tree oil helps greasy dandruff disappear.

That’s how it’s done

• Massage your scalp with a few drops of tea tree oil directly or diluted with coconut oil.
• Leave the oil on for about 15 minutes.
• Then wash your hair with warm water.

Coconut oil for greasy dandruff

The fact that coconut oil is used against greasy dandruff may sound strange at first. Nevertheless, coconut oil has established itself as an effective remedy. Because coconut oil provides the scalp with valuable moisture and also fights the growth of bacteria and fungi. Since the origin of greasy dandruff is often associated with the presence of fungi, the fixed oil is a welcome method of treating greasy dandruff.

Uses: Use coconut oil 1 time per week or 2-3 times per month to treat greasy dandruff.

Here’s how you do it:

• Take a tablespoon of the solid oil in your hands until it melts.
• Then gently massage the oil into the scalp.
• Leave it on for about 10-15 minutes.
• After that, the oil needs to be waxed out very thoroughly with a mild shampoo.

Anti dandruff shampoo

Not every anti-dandruff shampoo is suitable for fighting dandruff. Many shampoos that are available in retail stores contain harmful substances. In the worst case, these can irritate the mucous membranes and cause allergies. In addition, some of these shampoos contain PEG derivatives, which means that foreign substances can be absorbed through the skin. These derivatives are made from petroleum. Some ingredients can even promote the formation of dandruff.

If you still don’t want to do without anti-dandruff shampoos, it is advisable to buy the shampoo from your doctor, pharmacy or drugstore. The shampoo should be as mild as possible and the hair should not be washed with it too often.

When combing your mane, do you get a fright because so many hairs get caught in the comb? Do n’t hang your head ! Because by no means every hair loss in women is dermatologically relevant. Losing 50-100 hairs a day is quite normal. However, if you notice that the hair is increasing and not growing back as quickly, it could also have medical causes. What causes hair loss and what you can do about it.

How is hair loss diagnosed?

Anyone who notices significant hair loss over a period of more than three weeks or who has already discovered sparse patches should not hesitate to visit a dermatologist at an early stage. The earlier the causes of hair loss are identified, the better they can be treated.

80% of the hair on your head is in the growth phase. The remaining 20% ​​of the hair roots rest. Only when the proportion of active hair falls below 80% do dermatologists speak of hair loss.

This is why women get hair loss

Hormones are responsible for many functions in the body. This also applies to hair growth – but also to hair loss. Your menstrual cycle , pregnancy , contraception or menopause affect your hair growth. Estrogen stimulates hair growth on the head in women. Too little estrogen or too much testosterone can lead to hair loss.

Reasons for hair loss in women can be iron deficiency , infections and stress . But there are also a number of medications that have hair loss as a side effect. Common reasons for hair loss in women are also diseases of the thyroid gland.

What really helps with hair loss?

If you notice hair loss, you should first seek medical advice. A blood test can show if you have a deficiency. Iron, zinc, selenium and vitamin deficiencies are common reasons for hair loss. Thyroid disorders and hormone fluctuations should also be ruled out by your doctor.

Different types of hair loss and treatment

1 Diffuse hair loss: In so-called diffuse hair loss, the hair loss is evenly distributed over the head. The cause of diffuse hair loss is usually an insufficient supply of nutrients to the hair roots – with the result that they wither in the long run, the hair falls out and there is no regrowth.

Possible triggers: physical stress (e.g. infections), stress , medication, general nutrient deficiency, thyroid dysfunction, radical diets .

That helps: Specialists can usually determine the specific triggers for diffuse hair loss and thus initiate targeted treatment. Vitamin and amino acid preparations in particular promote hair growth.

2 Condition-related hair loss: The condition-related (androgenetic) hair loss is the cause of hair loss in around 90 percent of those affected. While men are more likely to get lighter on the forehead and at the back of the head, in women it mainly affects the parting of the head.

Possible triggers: congenital hypersensitivity of the hair roots, too much testosterone, too little estrogen (also during menopause or after childbirth).

That helps: Since this hormone sensitivity is innate, androgenetic hair loss cannot be avoided; However, the treatment options are now diverse. Scalp tinctures with Alfatradiol, Aminexil or Minoxidil are considered to be particularly effective.

3 Circular hair loss : In medicine, circular hair loss is also called alopezia areata. Bald spots that appear suddenly are typical of this form of hair disease. It occurs rarely, which is why its cause is not yet fully known.

Possible triggers: weakened immune system , inflamed hair roots

That helps: In the case of tuft-like hair loss, medical treatment can help in the early stages.

4 Seasonal hair loss: Some women can experience increased hair loss, especially in spring and autumn . However, this hair loss is very mild and does not require treatment.

Was ist der Beauty-Trend „Honey Lips“?

Der Name des neuesten Beauty-Trends ist etwas irreführend, aber mit Essen hat er nichts zu tun. Dieser Trend lässt Ihre Lippen golden und herrlich glänzend aussehen (daher der Name). Honiglippen sind fast genau das, was Sie sich vorstellen – eine dezente, kühle goldene Lippentönung, die wie Nektar ist und einen spiegelähnlichen Glanz verleiht. Der neue Trend sorgt für glänzende Lippen, die üppig aussehen und ein warmes Gefühl vermitteln. Es kann Ihre Lippen optisch voller erscheinen lassen.

Wie macht man „Honey Lips“-Make-up?

Schritt 1: Peeling

Es ist sehr wichtig, einen glatten Untergrund zu haben, bevor Sie beginnen. Ein Peeling sorgt für eine sanftere Anwendung und hilft, trockene Haut zu beseitigen und für ein gleichmäßigeres, strahlenderes Aussehen zu sorgen. Dieser Schritt schafft die Voraussetzungen für das Auftragen der notwendigen Produkte und das Erreichen perfekter Honiglippen. Anschließend befeuchten Sie Ihre Lippen mit einem beruhigenden Balsam.

Schritt 2: Gold-Lidschatten auftragen

Sobald Ihre Lippen weich und geschmeidig sind, ist es an der Zeit, ihnen Glanz zu verleihen. Dies erreichen Sie, indem Sie mit der Fingerspitze einen goldenen Lidschatten mit viel Schimmer auf die Lippenmitte auftragen. Konzentrieren Sie sich auf den Amorbogen und die Mitte Ihrer Unterlippe.

Schritt 3. Einen Lippenstift auswählen
Nehmen Sie dann einen Lippenstift in einem neutralen oder rosafarbenen Farbton und definieren Sie Ihre Lippen. Verwenden Sie zum Hervorheben einen Stift in einem neutralen Rosa- oder Nude-Ton, der zur Farbe Ihrer Lippen passt. Wenn Sie mehr Definition wünschen, können Sie eine dunklere braune Farbe verwenden. Sie können dies mit einer Schicht Nude-Lippenstift abrunden, dies ist jedoch völlig optional.

Schritt 4: Lipgloss auftragen

Der wichtigste Schritt zu honigähnlichen Lippen ist schließlich der Glanz. Um Ihrem Look Ausdruckskraft zu verleihen, können Sie Glitzer mit einem goldenen Farbton verwenden. Lippenöl hilft auch dabei, Ihre Lippen mit Feuchtigkeit zu versorgen.

Tipp: Für einen strahlenden Honey-Look sollten Sie zusätzlich Lidschatten auf die Augen und Pfirsich-Rouge auf die Wangen auftragen.

  What is oil pulling?

  Oil pulling is an Ayurvedic oral care ritual. Ayurveda is the traditional Indian art of healing. In the Charaka Samhita, the literature of Ayurveda, a number of diseases are listed that are said to be cured by oil pulling. These include, for example, hormone disorders , migraines, diabetes and asthma.

  Oil pulling is said to prevent the following symptoms

  The effect of oil pulling is still controversial, but there are Indian scientists who are convinced of Ayurvedic medicine. They defended oil pulling in the 2011 Indian Journal of Dental Research . A list of ailments that oil pulling could have a positive effect on:

  • Gum problems, toothache, bad breath , dry mouth, chapped lips
  • Influenza infections, headaches, gastritis
  • heart diseases
  • blood diseases
  • Acne, psoriasis , neurodermatitis
  • insomnia
  • thrombosis
  • PMS

  What does oil pulling do

  Oil pulling is good for oral hygiene. A 2014 study compared the oil pulling method using sesame oil and the mouthwash method using chlorhexidine. The result: Both methods visibly improved oral health and reduced plaque.

  What happens when you oil pull?

  Oil pulling, i.e. gargling with oil, results in a so-called “saponification” of the oil in the mouth. The oil cleans and disinfects the mouth. Thanks to the consistency, the liquid gets into all the gaps. The oil also fights bacteria in the mouth that are responsible for bad breath or diseases. Oil pulling stimulates blood circulation in the oral cavity, which promotes the body’s ability to heal itself.

  Which oil is suitable for oil pulling?

  In principle, any cold-pressed vegetable oil is suitable for oil pulling. You can easily use the following oils for your morning ritual:

  • sesame oil
  • coconut oil
  • sunflower oil
  • olive oil
  • linseed oil

  Oil pulling: Here’s how

  1 Clean the tongue: The first thing you should do after standing up is remove the coating on the tongue, for example with a tongue scraper. Bad breath is eliminated in advance and your sense of taste is fine again.

  2 Choose a cold-pressed vegetable oil: Sesame oil is traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine, but coconut oil or linseed oil also worketoxifying. If you don’t particularly like the taste of oil, you can use olive oil or sunflower oil for oil pulling.

  3 Swallow oil through your mouth: Put a tablespoon of oil in your mouth and swish it back and forth in your mouth for 15 to 20 minutes. The oil should be constantly moving. You can “pull” it from one cheek side to the next. 15 to 20 minutes is a long time to spend on making breakfast or making your bed. Don’t forget the spaces between your teeth. If you have trouble with this, you can start with 5 minutes and increase over time.

  4 Spitting it out: Do not swallow the oil, because the toxins from your mouth are in the oil after the oil pulling. When the oil is thinner and white, you can spit it into a tissue.

  Important: The oil should not be spit into the sink, as the oil residue can be deposited on the pipes. In addition, oil does not combine with water and can clog drains. Therefore, spit the saliva-oil mixture into a kitchen towel and dispose of it in the trash can.

  5 Rinse: Then rinse your mouth with warm water and brush your teeth as usual.

  Why you need an empty stomach to do oil pulling

  Since most toxins accumulate in our mouths overnight, you should draw oil through your mouth before taking your first sip of water. Only after brushing your teeth can you drink water and have breakfast.

  Benefits of Oil Pulling

  Oil pulling has similar effects on your oral hygiene as mouthwashes. However, mouthwashes often contain chlorhexidine, which can be harmful and possibly stain your teeth brown. Oil, on the other hand, is a natural way to clean teeth and reduce dental disease. In contrast to chlorhexidine, it is even said to make teeth whiter . The usefulness of oil pulling is disputed by various sources, some even mentioning it as a placebo, but it has no negative side effects.

  How healthy is oil pulling really?

  Because poison can spread through the blood vessels in the mouth to the whole body, oil pulling is said to have a detox effect and naturally detoxify the body. According to Ayurvedic medicine, this should also counteract intestinal problems, because these can often be traced back to a disturbed oral flora.

  Why oil pulling is worth trying

  Oil pulling is not a miracle cure, but many believe that it has a preventive effect and that it contributes to a healthy physical balance. Even if the taste of pure oil alone seems to take some getting used to and the scientific basis is a bit shaky, oil pulling certainly doesn’t do any harm – so it’s worth extending the morning ritual a bit for a few weeks and hopefully doing something for the sake of your health. It’s at least worth a try.

Sun, wind and weather, but also bad living and eating habits can leave unsightly marks on our face. But what many people don’t know: Even in closed rooms, protected from external weather influences, our skin is exposed to so-called “blue light aging” or “digital aging” through all the screens and displays.

Was ist Blue Light?

Blue light is scientifically called high energy visible light (HEV light). This is a highly energetic, visible light that is emitted by digital screens, smartphones, tablets, PCs and also by televisions. With a wavelength of 380 to 500 nanometers, it penetrates deeper into the skin than the UVA and UVB rays of the sun.

How harmful is blue light?

Although blue light does not cause sunburn or skin cancer, the light from screens forms free radicals in our skin and thus accelerates the natural aging of the skin. Free radicals, also known as oxidative stress , attack collagen and elastin in our skin. These fibers are an important part of the connective tissue and responsible for the elasticity of our skin. By damaging these fibres, Blue light can cause premature formation of wrinkles and a loss of elasticity, which is mainly visible in the chin and cheek area.

In addition, the oxidative stress weakens the natural protective barrier of the skin and the skin then reacts more sensitively and more susceptible to external influences.

How can I protect my skin from digital aging?

1 The right device setting : With a few simple steps, smartphones, computers and tablets can now be set not only to be more “skin-friendly” but also easier on the eyes. With a Mac, for example, you can download the “f.lux” program or reduce radiation with the “Night mode” option on “Windows”. You can download free apps like “Twilight” or “Night Screen” for smartphones. With the iPhone, you can activate the “Night Shift” mode with an integrated blue light filter.

2 With the right diet: Your diet has an impact on digital aging. The magic word here is “antioxidants”. They prevent cell damage and protect the structural proteins collagen and elastin from free radicals.

A diet rich in antioxidants therefore not only prevents skin aging caused by blue light, it also ensures an overall biochemical balance in your body and thus generally reduces the risk of disease. High levels of antioxidants can be found in avocados , tomatoes , broccoli, blueberries and citrus fruits as well as in various nuts.

The good news for all those with a sweet tooth: Dark chocolate also contains large amounts of antioxidants!

3 With the right skin care: active ingredients that act against free radicals caused by blue light radiation are mainly found in so-called secondary plant substances. These are active ingredients with which the plant also protects itself from the entire light spectrum. These include, for example, squalane, which is obtained from olive oil, as well as stem cells or fruit extracts from various flowers and fruits. The latest research has also found that the Japanese brown alga builds up preventive protection against frequency and radiation damage.

Products that contain vitamins C and E in particular offer a very high level of protection against free radicals. If you sit at the PC for several hours a day, a so-called vitamin serum is recommended as day care. But the composition of the day care can also have a preventative effect against skin aging caused by blue light. When it comes to the ingredients, look out for vegetable oils such as hemp seed oil, olive oil and jojoba oil, as they strengthen your skin’s protection against oxidative stress.

Sunscreen also helps reduce stress on your skin. A classic light protection or sun protection filter cannot filter blue light rays, but protects your skin from additional free radicals caused by UVA rays.

This is how you protect yourself against free radicals

In short: A serum with vitamin components and a cream based on hemp seed oil and vitamin E, for example, are a perfect combination against too much screen light. Together with a balancing BB cream with a sun protection filter against UVA rays, you protect your face most effectively free radicals.

If you now enjoy a fresh tomato salad with an avocado and wholemeal bread for lunch and treat yourself to a small dark chocolate dessert with a few nuts, you have completed the absolute “Anti Blue Light Aging” program and have less to worry about yours make skin age.
