SKINCARE ON HOLIDAY WITH LEONIE ROFNER

EDITOR: Hello dear Leonie – so nice that you are taking your time today! You have worked as a beautician in the most renowned 5 star hotels in the world for over 15 years. So beauty is in your blood and you are an absolute professional when it comes to skincare. So you are the right woman for us: How do you prepare your skin for a longer summer vacation?

LEONIE: Of course I would be happy to tell you! For me: Prevention is better than aftercare! Holiday skin needs a lot of moisture and vitamins - that's why I prepare myself beauty-wise a few weeks in advance by giving my skin one Extra portion of care treat yourself and treat them regularly with gentle Peels Pamper yourself - this removes excess skin cells, makes the skin soft to the touch and has the advantage that the tan becomes more even.

EDITOR: Regardless of whether it's wooden class or business class: long-haul flights are really not a beauty treatment for the skin. Do you have a tip for us on how we can arrive at our destination in the best possible condition?

LEONIE: Oh yes! Very important: moisture, moisture, moisture! The dry air “up in the air”, which removes a lot of water from the skin, is primarily responsible for our pale complexion. The humidity on the plane is reduced to around 10% - a fifth of what we normally need to feel comfortable. So on the day of the flight I make sure I have enough Moisturizer and avoid heavy coverage make-up. I always have something with me in my small hand luggage just in case: a rich one Lip balm, one Facial care and a good one Eye cream.

EDITOR: What does your care routine look like while on vacation?

LEONIE: Personally, when I travel, I use less extensive basic care than usual - and I have an insider tip for all minimalists: Solid care products are wonderful here! 😉 But that doesn't mean less care for me, because I treat my skin to lots of little beauty specials and extra treatments while on vacation. Because let's be honest: we've never had more time to indulge in rich things Masks to pamper. I'm making the most of it - I love this little spa feeling!

EDITOR: The next challenge: Which of our many beauty treasures definitely belongs in the cosmetic bag?

LEONIE: It's not that difficult! I always adapt my care focus to the travel destination: in the mountains I pay attention to a high level of sun protection - even when Make up. Very important on a beach holiday: always refresh your sun protection! In an exotic humid environment like the tropics there is an intense Moisturizer made of light textures ideal. When I go on a city trip, I also attach great importance to a good one cleaningto free your face and body from smog, exhaust fumes and dust.

EDITOR: In addition to powerful skin care, what should we definitely not miss out on while on vacation?

LEONIE: On a pair of sunglasses! It is more than just a chic accessory and not only protects our eyes from sunlight, but also against wrinkles in the forehead area. So the optimal anti-aging prevention and elegant fashion weapon in one!

EDITOR: Do you have any tips for post-vacation beauty care?

LEONIE: When the summer vacation is over, I pamper stressed skin particularly intensively so that it can replenish the moisture it lacks. Because even if you actually have oily skin, you can get small, dry wrinkles during your summer vacation. These are wonderful for this Phytomineral Vitamin Eye Wonder or the 24 building cream – because they keep the upper layer of skin supple and rebuild it.

EDITORIAL: These are great tips that we will immediately put into practice in the editorial team! Speaking of vacation: Can you tell us where you are going this year?

LEONIE: Of course! This year you will find me on the beautiful Mediterranean and I am really looking forward to a few beautiful days! By the way, I have a little insider tip for you: a rich one Body lotion! Because powerful and creamy body care is a real treat both before, during and especially after the trip.

EDITOR: Oh, that sounds great! Thank you very much for the lovely conversation! We wish you a relaxing time and look forward to seeing you live again soon with new beauty tips. Until then: Stay beautiful!
