UV 50 MINERAL – what is that?

360 ° – protection for everyday life

yes, thats what we all need. we need to take better care of our skin. I am every year surprised to see so many of my friends with sun burnt skin. and with all the information that is out there I was hoping that everybody understood so far that the flaming ball in the sky that we call sun, can cause some serious damage, in most of the cases irreversible. UV rays and environmental pollutants cause the skin to be irritated. the skin tends to dry out, loses its luminosity and ages a lot faster.

what does the new UV 50 mineral with ection do?
  • against UVA / UVB radiation (without chemical filters )
    100 % mineral sunscreen, based on natural micro pigments and any health risk .
  • against environmental pollutants (anti – pollution). the anti-pollution complex with ectoin acts against exhaust fumes, cigarette smoke, ozone and free radicals .
  • against skin aging with help of ectoin. it increases the moisture in the skin and protects the immune system of the skin and the cells and DNA from harmful UVA rays. ectoin reduces the formation of sunburn cells and acts against wrinkles and skin aging.

ectoin:

ectoin acts as a natural DNA and cell protective factor against UV induced skin damage and it supports the immune system of the skin. therefore it is used as an active ingredient in skin care and sun protection. ectoin stabilizes the natural structure of biopolymers such as proteins, nucleic acids and biomembranes. and thats exactly what protects against skin damage from UVA and UVB radiation.
it acts not as a UV filter, but as a cell protection preventive against sun allergies, UV-induced skin aging and light dermatoses. It prevents damage in the epidermis and deeper layers of skin. In combination with an UV filter it has a highly effective cover and protects the skin ‘s immune system.
now we read a lot about the magic ingredient called ectoin. I am always amazed about how far skin researchers came until today. and always love to use products that are without preservatives, dyes and allergenic perfumes.
I was really happy that I got one of the new UV 50 mineral to try, so for all of you that might wonder. yes, this is a sponsored post. 🙂 for a long time I did not need any SPF 50 here in Basel due to the weirdly cold weather in June. but now its the moment to apply it every day and I am so happy that finally the sun is back and that I also have found a great product to protect my skin.
I love the fact that it does not make my face white and that it is being absorbed very fast. as I am wearing my sunscreen underneath my foundation/ tinted day cream I dont want anything greasy or white 🙂 in case you have sensitive skin then this is something for you. I love it and have used it for the last couple of sunny days. my skin has not reacted with any breakout and thats always a very good sign.

with the UV 50 mineral I got 5 bands for a smart way to enjoy the sun. smart sun wristbands measure the amount of sun you are being exposed to during one day. it changes color to let you know when to apply more sunscreen or when to stay out of the sun.
works everywhere. changes color faster in strong sunlight. measures the total amount of sun during an entire day. measures both UVA and UVB radiation. can be used in water, even in saltwater and chlorinated water. should be used from sunup to sundown, both indoors and outdoors. when the wristband turns pink, the risk of burning is high and then avoid the sun completely. one wristband is one-day use only.
yellow = original color (unused)
red = apply more sunscreen
pink = avoid the sun

wow, thats a really smart invention and I can not wait to try these bands in Barcelona. my suitcase is almost packed and like every time it was a challenge to find the right things. stay tuned via my social media channels, there I will keep you up to date during my vacation.
have a lovely summer and dont forget to apply sunscreen, regularly! X

WANNA BE RICH ?

RICH

today I have something nice for our skin. I wanna talk about the LUBEX anti-age DAY RICH UV20 and NIGHT RICH. now that the hot days of summer are over it is time to change not only our wardrobe but also our skin care. we start using the heaters at home and inside the shops, public transport and I can already see how dry my skin is. so thats when I heard about the RICH line from LUBEX anti age. there is a light, classic and rich line and as you may know I already introduced some really nice products by them, have a look here >> 

in genreal Lubex anti-age products contain:
no preservatives (air- and light-tight packages ensure long durability and good hygiene),
no artificial colouring and
no allergenic perfumes. thats awesome in so many ways!

the RICH line is for dry to very dry skin and/or mature skin. well I never know what to believe when it comes to anti age or mature skin products. I am 32 years old and I can obviously see a difference in my skin from when I was 16. I have dry skin so often extra moisturize comes with the anti-age products, like in that case here. but now wait, if you think RICH means greasy than you totally misunderstood me, the creams are nicely smooth and are being absorbed fast.

LUBEX anti-age DAY RICH UV20
rich texture 50ml 20 SPF uva+uvb
58.50 CHF

stem cells + HAF
Liposomes dîsoflavones
multi active AntiOx

there are apple stem cells to keep our skin healthy and young and soy isoflavone liposomes to increase the elasticity and improve the structure of our skin. peptides and coenzyme Q10 are leading to a long-lasting lifting effect. HAF, hyaluronates and ceramides hydrate very intensively and make our skin more resistant. multi-active AntiOx system HDBM, protect actively during 24 hours against free radicals.

RICH

LUBEX anti-age NIGHT RICH
rich texture 50ml

High-dose Retinol
Isoflavonen – Liposomen
multi active AntiOx

both of the creams are having a very high content of moisturizing factors and high content of lipids. a high-dose retinol regenerates our skin and repairs skin damages. there are also soy isoflavone liposomes, like in the RICH DAY, that increase the elasticity and improve the structure of our skin and peptides and coenzyme Q10 that lead to a long-lasting lifting effect. HAF, hyaluronates and ceramides hydrate very intensively and make our skin more resistant.

some of the ingredients come up in almost every of their products and these are: peptides, they are very important messengers to block the skin and they play a huge role in wound healing. even the normal daily skin regeneration process has to deal with small tissue damage that must be repaired and balanced. over time this ability declines more and more and the aging process of the skin begins. poly-, penta- and hexapeptides specifically activate biological restructuring processes in the skin and therefore age-related skin damage is being repaired – the skin becomes more resilient and toned. tripeptides significantly increase collagen synthesis and actively promote the matrix structure of the skin. it fills wrinkles from the inside. : )

and now for something completely different, finally I wanted to share with you my pictures and videos from the PINK RIBBON CHARITY WALK in zurich BUT I can not find the folder.. hopefully it is in on the backUp that I have on my other HD, I will check and share them when I find them. I took an amazing video where you saw so many pink dressed people run for a good purpose. fingers crossed that I find them. the only thing I can link you to is the tweet I posted – click here. I ran/walked with team LUBEX anti-age and we had a blast! thank you very much for having me. X

today’s makeUp – sunkissed!

two brands – one look – and what a simple one! I started to apply the new lightful C tinted cream all over my face and neck and set it with the mineralize skinfinish natural powder. then I applied the bronzing powder to my cheeks, temples and jaw line and filled in my brows with the eyebrow pencil in taupe which I can hardly sharpen anymore as it got so tiny. as a last step I dusted the light CC prep+prime loose powder all over my face to give it a nice and fresh finish!

something nice

these two lovely things found their way to me and I have been using them the last couple of weeks. ooh dear, I like them both!

VICHY Capital Soleil BB Creme SPF 50

It has a lovely texture and a rather light coverage. I love BB Creams and I love high SPF protection and here I have found the perfect combo. A BB Cream with SPF 50!

KIEHL’S Micro Blur Skin Perfector

Apply this and you are ready to go, this product immediately blurs all my imperfections into oblivion! I have to say I am very much impressed! I use it after my Creme and Foundation and wow I can really see a before/after effect. I hope to be able to catch this on camera and show you.

BB Creams

what do I think about BB? Blemish and Balm.. well, in summer they come in handy as I am not a friend of too heavy coverage foundation. lets start from top to bottom!

#Estée Lauder BB Double Wear All-Day Glow SPF 30
#Marionnaud BB 6in1 Perfecting Care (no SPF)
#The Body Shop All-in-One BB Cream (no SPF)
#Clarins BB Skin Perfecting Cream SPF 25
#Estee Lauder BB Clear Difference SPF 35

so which is my favorite and why?

my very favorite BB Cream is the #Estée Lauder BB Double Wear All-Day Glow SPF 30 – as it has enough coverage and SPF and it doesnt have a matte finish. Its a rather new product, so I am sure some of you have not seen or tried it yet. well, do not hesitate, give it a try!

which is your favorite BB Cream?

SPRING & SUMMER skin care


the sun is out and thats the time where we should think about SPF – do you use SPF? I can highly recommend to do so. the sun is very powerful and can cause serious damage to your skin.. yeah, I know.. I am sure you have heard that somewhere before 🙂 anyway, I want to show you what I use at the moment in order to keep my skin protected from UV A and UV B rays.

LANCASTER Sun Control Fluid SPF 50
Thats what I start with, thats my base in spring and summer. It is a very light fluid and very easy to apply all over my face and neck. I already introduced this product here >>

CLINIQUE superdefense SPF 20
As a second step I use my daily moisturizer. It already has an average SPF but not enough for my sensitive skin and my couperose parts on my cheeks. here you can read my opinion about the Clinique Superdefense – I did a test with Jaswant and we are both still using them.  >>

ESTEE LAUDER CC Cream SPF 10
I think this is enough coverage for me in spring and summer. Its perfect to even out my skintone and leaves a nice glow. read more about this CC Cream here >>

so after these steps I curl my eyelashes, I apply Bronzer and lipstick and I am ready for the day!

whats your skin care routine? do you use SPF? what products do you use?
