THAT'S WHY THE MORNING ROUTINE IS A MUST EVEN FOR NORMAL SKIN

A proper amount of sleep and the complexion is in top form? Far from it. Although sleep is crucial for healthy, beautiful skin and allows it to regenerate, a whole range of other things also happen during this time:

• You're sweating.
• Your skin eliminates toxins.
• Excess skin flakes are coming off your face.
• Your skin produces sebum.

That means: Over the course of the night, quite a bit has happened on the skin, even if you might not be able to see it with the naked eye. Therefore, it is especially important to cleanse and care for your skin thoroughly in the morning and evening. To keep your skin not only beautiful but also healthy, you should invest a few minutes in the morning to do something good for your complexion, from which you will benefit throughout the entire day.

THE Doctor Mi!-MORNING ROUTINE FOR NORMAL SKIN

To properly cleanse and care for normal skin in the morning, only five simple steps are needed.

CLEAN

In the morning, apply a small amount of CLEAN to your entire face, including the eye area. Massage it in with wet hands for 2–3 minutes. Then rinse it off with lukewarm water.

PEEL

After your cleansing, apply a small amount of PEEL to dry, cleansed skin. Moisten your fingertips and massage it in circular motions for 2–3 minutes. Then rinse your skin thoroughly with lukewarm water. Use PEEL only once daily.

TONE

Spray TONE 2–3 times in the morning onto a cotton pad and apply it in circular motions to the face, neck, and décolleté. Avoid the eye area and prevent contact with your mucous membranes.

DAY

Distribute DAY evenly on the face, neck, and décolleté in the morning after cleansing. Massage it in until the care is fully absorbed.

SERUM

In the final step of your morning routine, apply 1–2 pumps of SERUM as a finish. Additionally, the use of SPF 50+ daily and year-round is recommended.

After your morning routine, you can either apply make-up or skip it, depending on your preference.

MORE TIPS THAT ARE IMPORTANT FOR THE MORNING ROUTINE OF NORMAL SKIN

In addition to the actual routine shown above, it is advisable to follow the following additional tips for the morning routine for normal skin.

• Never use hot water in your skincare routines, as it strips moisture from your skin. Lukewarm water is ideal.
• Always use a clean towel for drying.
• Avoid rubbing your skin dry. Instead, gently pat it dry.
• Use SPF 50+ daily and all year round, whether the sun is shining or it is snowing.
• Use non-comedogenic makeup. These are foundations, concealers, and powders that do not cause blemishes.

NORMAL SKIN: THE RIGHT NUTRITION IN THE MORNING

Not only does the correct use of skincare products affect your complexion in the morning: nutrition also plays a very important role in the morning when aiming for a beautiful and healthy glow. If you want to bring normal skin into top shape with the right morning routine, you should follow the following tips to help your skin achieve maximum glow.

• Drink enough water already in the morning.
  Lack of water is bad for the skin because it loses elasticity when it is not supplied with enough water and consequently forms wrinkles. To ensure your skin is properly nourished in the morning, you should drink enough water. Green tea is also a good choice because it contains a high amount of antioxidants.
• Take no or as little sugar as possible.
  Sugar has been proven to age the skin. To protect your skin from the negative effects caused by sugar, the sugar content in your diet should generally not exceed 15%. Important to note: Carbohydrates are also considered sugar because they consist of glucose molecules, the basic building blocks of sugar. This means: muesli, sweet smoothies, fruit salad, porridge, and the like should play a minor role in your breakfast and only occasionally be on the table. Good, low-sugar alternatives include unsweetened quark, eggs, avocado, or cheese.
• Avoid over-acidification.
  Overacidification occurs in the human body when you consume too many foods that lead to the formation of acids. These include especially sugar, meat, and alcohol. Since overacidification promotes the formation of impurities, skin irritations, and wrinkles, alkaline-forming foods are excellent for counteracting this and optimally improving your skin condition. These include, for example, vegetables, mushrooms, herbs, and sprouts.

FAQ: FREQUENT QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MORNING ROUTINE FOR NORMAL SKIN

Below you will receive targeted answers to frequently asked questions about the morning routine for normal skin.

• Why is it not enough to just apply regular moisturizer in the morning?

  While you sleep, a lot happens to your skin: it regenerates, which causes excess skin flakes to shed. Additionally, your skin also releases toxins and sebum during sleep, and sometimes it even sweats. To prevent all these factors from leading to impurities, it is important to thoroughly cleanse your skin in the morning before applying the appropriate day care.

• Do I also need to use a toner in the morning if I have normal skin?

  The use of a toner is also recommended in the morning for normal skin, as a toner has two main functions: It thoroughly cleanses your skin of minor impurities and also balances the pH level of your skin. In other words: The toner helps your skin effectively remove bacteria that can cause impurities and also supports the acid mantle of your skin, which is the foundation of a healthy complexion. By additionally removing excess skin flakes, a toner smooths your skin and creates a surface that can reflect light, giving your skin a beautiful glow. Thanks to the special product formulation of TONE, you also benefit from moisture-retaining properties, ensuring your skin is well cared for throughout the day.

• Why should I exfoliate normal skin every morning?

  Similar to toner: For a perfect glow, your skin must be as even and free of impurities as possible. This way, it can reflect light best, giving your skin that special glow. With our peeling PEEL, you ensure every morning that your skin is freed from excess deposits such as skin flakes or sebum, which can also lead to impurities. Since PEEL contains particularly fine, natural, and completely harmless peeling particles, it is a very thorough yet very gentle peeling that is perfectly suitable for daily use.

• Why should I use SPF 50+ daily and all year round?

  Sunlight consists of UVA and UVB rays that damage the skin. To adequately protect your skin from harmful sun exposure, daily and year-round use of sunscreen is an indispensable must. This also applies when it is cloudy or snowing, because UVA and UVB rays still reach your skin then. With SPF 50+, you protect your skin ideally and block both UVA and UVB rays.

• Is the sun protection factor in my makeup sufficient to protect my skin from the sun?

  No, unfortunately that is not the case. The sun protection contained in foundations and concealers, which many manufacturers advertise, is usually dosed far too low for your skin to be adequately protected. By applying sunscreen to your face after cleansing and skincare, and only then applying your makeup, you take no risk and properly protect your skin.

• Can I use the same skincare routine for normal skin in the evening as well?

  We recommend that you follow the evening routine for normal skin: This is based on different products including different active ingredients and product formulations that offer your skin many cell-renewing potentials and improve your complexion in the long term. Above all, retinol enables these positive effects.

• Which other products can I use to help my skin achieve the perfect glow?
