We live in a place where nature treats us to variety - glowing sunshine, colourful leaves, the special atmosphere of raindrops and, of course, a snow-white fairy tale. But the changing air temperature is a challenge for our skin. During the cold winter months, skin can become noticeably drier, cracked, chapped and, in places, uneven [...]

Focus on what really matters Advent, the time of looking forward to the brightest celebration of the year, is also a time to fill our hearts and minds with love, both for ourselves and for others. I believe that this celebration is about just that. About the joy we can give and receive. And I believe that if we each do something good for someone else [...]
Facial serum - extra care for your complexion It's important not only to moisturise your complexion, but also to repair it - especially when the first wrinkles appear.

Why use a face mask every day? Is it true that a beautiful and radiant complexion can be created with cosmetics alone? Definitely not. I truly believe that our face mirrors our everyday life, our worries, our joy, and especially when we are healthy and happy, you can really see it. It's not for nothing that they say about happy people - "You glow!". But of course, [...]

In caring for ourselves and others, I truly believe that we shape our future. It is in our power to create the conditions in which we will bequeath our children, their children and grandchildren. Every action we take has consequences. And in most cases we will not see them now, in 5 or 10 years' time. It will be future generations who will experience them first-hand. It [...]
