Why a routine is important and everything about the myth of product change

Radiant, healthy skin is no coincidence – it is the result of a consistent and well-thought-out skincare routine.

Why a consistent routine is so important

Our skin loves habits. With a daily routine of cleansing, moisturizing, and sunscreen, we give it exactly what it needs to stay healthy and radiant. Regular cleansing removes dirt and impurities, serum and moisturizer keep the skin hydrated and supple, and sunscreen protects it from harmful UV rays. This constant care not only helps prevent skin problems but also strengthens the skin barrier, makes the skin more resilient, and ensures an even, clear complexion.

Myth of product switching – what is really behind it?

You may have heard that you should change your skincare products regularly because otherwise your skin gets used to the active ingredients and they no longer work. However, this is a myth. There is no scientific evidence that the skin develops a tolerance to active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or retinol. These active ingredients act on a cellular level and support basic skin functions. What you perceive as a decrease in effectiveness is often just your skin adapting to the improved conditions. The visible changes become more subtle because the initial condition of the skin has already been improved. Incidentally, this myth also persists in hair care, but here too, consistency is usually the key.

Adaptation instead of change – listen to your skin

It's important to pay attention to your skin's needs. If these changes due to factors such as season, age, or stress, it's a good idea to adjust your skincare products accordingly. However, this doesn't mean changing regularly out of habit. Rather, it's about being attentive and recognizing when your skin has different needs. With our customized DMS cream and serum, you can swap out an active ingredient at any time to suit your current skin condition without immediately starting a new skincare routine. In winter, it might be worth using one more oil, and in summer, swapping one oil for a lighter extract or double the dose of hyaluronic acid.

Conclusion

A consistent skincare routine is the key to long-lasting, healthy, and radiant skin. Daily care with cleansing, moisturizing, and protection forms the foundation. Don't be fooled by myths like the need to switch products. It's not variety, but consistency and attention to your skin's needs that make the difference. By maintaining your routine and adjusting it as needed, you ensure the well-being of your skin—now and in the future.
