Longevity – more than just a lifestyle trend

The term “longevity” is increasingly encountered – in podcasts, health blogs, self-care guides. But what is really behind it?

Longevity means: aging healthily. Not just extending life, but filling it with energy, vitality, and quality of life. This holistic approach concerns not only the heart, metabolism, or muscles – but also your skin.

Skin longevity is the dermatological counterpart to the longevity movement – and much more than classic anti-aging. It is a scientifically based concept that is not satisfied with superficial glow but focuses on real skin health.

What does skin longevity really mean?

Skin longevity aims to keep the skin young in its function – not just in appearance. It's about taking early action on:

• a strong skin barrier
• a stable microbiome
• healthy cell renewal
• effective protective mechanisms against external stimuli

Because “long-lasting skin” is elastic, resilient, well-moisturized, and protects itself from harmful environmental influences – even beyond 40, 50, or 60.

Why skin aging starts earlier than you think

The natural aging process begins as early as the age of 25: collagen production decreases, hyaluronic acid is produced more slowly, and cell division slows down. But that is only one side of the story.

Much more decisive are the external influences that intensify this process:

• UV radiation (keyword photoaging)
• Oxidative stress from environmental toxins, exhaust fumes, poor nutrition
• Lack of sleep & chronic stress, which promote silent inflammation
• Wrong or overwhelming care that weakens the skin barrier

All of this adds up – and often causes visible and noticeable skin changes already in your 30s. But: You can do something. And it starts today.

The 4 pillars for healthy, long-lasting skin

1. Care from the outside: Protect what protects you

The skin is your shield – but it needs targeted support itself. Smart skincare products with effective ingredients help you strengthen your skin in the long term.

Your essentials for true skin longevity:

• UV protection: Daily, year-round, at least SPF 30, better SPF 50 – the most important anti-aging measure of all
• Antioxidants: Vitamin C, E & ferulic acid against free radicals
• Retinol (Vitamin A): Supports cell renewal and skin structure
• Hyaluronic acid & Ceramides: Retain moisture and strengthen the barrier
• Niacinamide: Regulates sebum, soothes the skin, and has anti-inflammatory effects

Our product tips from you:

• CLEAN: The medical cleansing – prepares your skin optimally without drying it out
• REFINING DAY CREAM – effective cell regeneration with minimal irritation potential
• SUN SPF 50+ – daily high-protection filter against UV damage

Important: Less is often more. It’s not about many products, but the right ones in a thoughtful combination.

2. Nourish your skin from within

Healthy skin starts on the plate – this is not a cliché, but biochemistry.

Your skin benefits from:

• colorful, plant-based diet rich in antioxidants
• healthy fats (Omega-3) and high-quality proteins
• Micronutrients like zinc, copper, silicon, vitamin C & collagen

And: Sugar, alcohol, and highly processed foods promote inflammatory processes that make your skin age faster. So better smart food instead of fast food – for the sake of your skin too.

3. Regeneration & Rhythm: Skincare during sleep

7–8 hours of sleep per night is the best night care in the world. Why? Because your skin repairs, regenerates, and reduces inflammation during deep sleep.

Also important:

• Exercise – promotes circulation and oxygen supply
• Stress management – through breathing exercises, meditation, or conscious breaks
• Regular routines that bring skin and nervous system into balance

Our tip: Pamper your skin in the evening with the REGENERATING NIGHT CREAM to actively support the repair process.

4. Take environmental influences seriously

Your skin is in constant contact with the outside world. The biggest stresses today?

• Blue light from digital devices
• Fine dust, dry air, air conditioning
• Smoking – a real booster for skin aging

What helps? Air-purifying plants, clean bedding, screen filters – and products that specifically combat environmental stress.

Skin Longevity is not an illusion – but your own attitude

You don’t need a “Forever Young” promise – but a real, smart routine based on knowledge, science, and effectiveness. Skin Longevity is not perfectly smooth skin at 60. It is skin that stays strong. That protects. That glows. And that carries you through all phases of life.

A word from Dr. Miriam Rehbein: “Skin longevity doesn’t start with the first visible sign of aging – but with conscious care of your skin. I wish every woman and man understood: skincare is not a luxury, but active health prevention. If you start early, you can give your skin the chance to stay healthy, radiant, and strong for life.”
