What makes good skincare?
Good skincare moisturizes and protects your skin. It contains effective ingredients without unwanted additives, and its formula should suit your skin type. Always read the ingredients list.
Warning: Test new skincare products on a small patch of skin first to check for a reaction. This is especially important if you have sensitive skin or allergies.
A good product addresses your specific concern. A rich hand balm can help with cracked skin on your hands, while body lotion is made for use over larger areas. Browse our skincare category for more ideas.
The role of ingredients
Ingredients determine how effective a product is. Urea helps bind moisture in the skin. Panthenol soothes skin and supports its natural recovery. Plant oils such as almond oil nourish skin and replenish its lipids. If your skin is dry, avoid products containing alcohol.
What types of skincare are available?

- Balms: Rich and nourishing, they're ideal for very dry, cracked, or stressed areas such as feet, elbows, and hands.
- Creams: Versatile products that moisturize and care for larger areas of the body. They're often lighter than balms.

Frequently asked questions
- What should I look for when choosing skincare?
- Consider your skin type and the concern you want to address. Dry skin needs richer formulas. For sensitive areas, choose pH-balanced, fragrance-free products. The ingredient list can help you assess a product's effectiveness and how well your skin may tolerate it.
- Are expensive skincare products better?
- Price is no guarantee of quality. What matters most is the active ingredients and their concentration. Many affordable products contain high-quality ingredients. For specific concerns such as age spots, invest selectively in products with effective formulas.
- How often should I apply moisturizer?
- How often you should apply moisturizer depends on the area of your body and your skin's condition. Apply it to your hands and face daily as needed. Use specialist treatments such as callus balm according to the package directions, often several times a week.
- Can I use body lotion on my face?
- We don't recommend it. Facial skin is thinner and more sensitive. Body lotions are often richer and may clog pores. Use specialist facial skincare from our range of skincare products for your face.
- What can I do about very dry skin?
- Very dry skin needs intensive moisturizers. Products containing urea, glycerin or panthenol are ideal. A balm such as PRODUCT_137058 helps care for particularly dry areas such as the feet. Avoid showering with water that is too hot.
