Skin care with natural minerals
First aid for your skin
Intensive skin care is most important of all during winter when all the cold, dry air throws off your skin’s moisture balance. Skincare experts have learned that skin products containing natural minerals are especially helpful because they mobilise the skin’s self-healing powers. Natural minerals improve the function of the moisture barriers, preventing moisture loss. The Smooth Milk Triple Action from NIVEA body does exactly that. Its’ valuable combination of ginkgo, shea butter and vitamin E make it three times as effective – providing intense moisturising, all-around protection, and it makes your skin silky smooth. Used regularly, it reinforces the skin’s protective ability and helps it to regenerate itself.
Deep penetration
If your skin is raw, flaky and rough throughout the year, it isn’t just suffering from a lack of moisture and moisturizing lipids. Dry skin is often a sign that the moisture barrier deep down in the skin is impaired. The new formula in NIVEA body Rich Caring Milk with minerals, almond oil and vitamin E can gently re-establish your moisture barrier. It pampers the skin with almond oil, which ensures that the skin’s surface stays smooth and, at the same time, gives the skin’s inner self-healing power the chance to work its magic. The natural minerals are the decisive factor in this process. They ensure an even moisture balance so that dry skin is effectively protected from drying out over the long term.
Tap yourself awake
Some days you can really feel it. At the darkest time of the year, our bodies would prefer to take a longer break. If possible, we should pay attention to our bodies’ signals and snooze longer. However, if you want to be wide awake and in tip-top shape, you can activate your energy by firmly tapping yourself after applying a moisturiser. To do this, tap the index, middle and ring fingers in a quick rhythm over individual parts of the body. Begin with your hands, arms, shoulders and neck. Then move onto the front part of your body. Stand up in order to tap your back and your bum. And last, but not least, your legs. First tap the front, then the inside and the outside. Repeat the entire exercise three times. Lastly, place your hands on top of one another like an open bowl in front of your abdomen and, breathing gently, feel the energy circulating throughout your body.
