I don’t know if there are any predispositions to this, at least my eyes always fall on hands and feet.  And I think it has to look neat and well-groomed, just like the rest. Especially now in summer, when you often see bare feet in sandals, you think once or twice: ‘Phew, they could again use a pedicure ‘.  Dirty, with black marks under the toenails, visible calluses – none of that works for me.  I even spotted dirty soles in a TV commercial (and no, I’m not adding the celebrity name to it now).  Help, did the photographer and the assistants didn’t mention? Well, in any cas ..read more

Age and life are written in the skin, there is no twilight about it.  The fact that we get it on the bread and butter every day is a fact that does not make dealing with today’s ideals of beauty equally easy for everyone.  Coco Chanel once put it this way: Nature gives us the face that we have when we are 20.  Life shapes the face we have when we are 30.  But we have to earn the face that we have at 50 for ourselves.  Ergo: the youthfulness of the skin, the radiant freshness, the soft, smooth smoothness is lost little by little from the beginning of 30 years.  The ..read more

For most Germans, life without cosmetics is inconceivable, as numerous studies have shown.  According to a study by the IKW, 89% of women and 71% of men between the ages of 50 and 65 state that they do something to improve their appearance.  To do this, they like to use beauty and body care products.  But which one?  After all, more and more beauty brands are appearing on the shelves, all of which promise a lot.  What they actually hold is a completely different matter. I had already reported that SOLUBIA fulfills all the most important purchase criteria a 100% – even ..read more

Most women and men in Germany would like to exchange their paleness for a tan in the summer.  The results of the current IKW survey show what they are willing to achieve a tanned skin.  Unfortunately, the sun protection is sometimes neglected.  Kissed by the sun – this is how the majority of the participants in the IKW survey* like their skin in  summer: 42 percent would have liked to have tanned their skin slightly.  They find that they’ll look fresher straight away.  And 19 percent even prefer a slightly more intense tan.  However, only very few – namely 4 ..read more

Everything was better before? Certainly not, it was different. But from a certain age, everyone has his/ her own objective and subjective views or beliefs about the past in this regard. The term “earlier” may also mean something different for everyone; sometimes you only guess to talk about the same things or the same period. Usually changes are caused by external circumstances that put the daily, well-known and comfortable rhythm of life up-side-down (we are not talking about Corona here!). Every change requires an effort and usually means breaking with habits that have become dear to you. Ju ..read more

‚Why wander into the distance – see the good is so close.‘  This proverb based on Goethe’s ‘memories’ is an association that occurs to me again and again spontaneously, because one is actually inclined to look far away for what one often has virtually on the doorstep.  And I think for example, the rediscovery of the many beautiful regions in Germany that we would not necessarily have uncovered without Corona or the cozy restaurant around the corner that you somehow lost sight of and suddenly returns to consciousness. It was also my first and just as spontaneous association when I got ..read more

There are days when you walk away from your desk for ½ an hour, come back in good mood and find some 50 new emails in your beautiful mailbox.  Hey, that’s crazy.  I come from those letter-writing days and I don’t remember the postman ever delivered 50 letters in one day.  The thing is exposed if you take a week off.  Last time we went up to about 500. That makes me sweat on my forehead.  In any case, it‘ driving me nearly crazy, because I have to grasp in a few moments and make decisions about trash or reading or processing at some point.  My girlfriend says: “If ..read more

I surely belong in the category >WOMEN< who like to use make-up every day.  Sometimes more, sometimes less and a 5-minute make-up for the baker is enough.  It has something of a beautiful dress for the day that belongs to me as much as it is to wear.  What I actually never leave out is the thorough cleaning in the evening.  I just don’t go to bed with make-up.  It’s like taking off if you will.  I believe that the skin ages even faster as a result and also needs the time of sleep with good care for regeneration. But apart from these routines, I also need thi ..read more

I’ve never been as white as I am today.  In any case, I can’t remember the last time my skin hadn’t seen the sun in such a long time.  This is simply due to the fact that the waves did not catch up with us at the sea, but with incidence figures that simply relentlessly washed away trips to the sunny regions.  Now;  you can regret it or let yourself be lapped by the view of the shallow waves in the sea.  No matter how – the fact is, I can’t remember ever having had such a long winter.  This is not without consequences for body and soul.  As far as my body is c ..read more

“You smell just gorgeous, how can you?” It’s one of the compliments we like to hear. No wonder, because spreading a fragrant scent is something very wonderful and special. After all, everyone accommodates  30 million realm cells in around 400 variants in his nose. What it picks up goes directly to the brain via chemical signals, which immediately decide, YES or NO. Even before we can make a rational decision, our sense of smell has already decided whether the chemistry is right , that is, whether we can “smell good” the other one. So fragrance does a lot, with ourselves and with those, we ..read more
