Dear customers, Dear colleagues, With this issue, we would like to address the topic of facial cleansing – something that is often neglected for lack of awareness or for simple convenience. However, thorough cleansing is the basis for a healthy and beautiful skin. Well-cleansed skin can absorb the active ingredients of skin care products much better than unprepared skin. You will feel the difference – your skin is well taken care of and appears fresh and healthy. We want to help you look forward to your daily cleansing routine. Your skin will thank you. No time for time-consuming skin care rituals? Then we have a solution for you: our new SENSIDERM CLEANSING SOLUTION is a convenient 3-in-1 cleansing product which is not only easy to use but also quick and thorough! Its particularly skin-friendly texture makes the SENSIDERM CLEANSING SOLUTION highly suitable for sensitive, easily irritated skin. The innovative micellar technology is the special feature of our new cleansing product. It allows you to cleanse your skin without water. How this works exactly will be explained in more detail on the following pages of our Beauty News.

SENSIDERM CLEANSING

Facial cleanser

Cleansing sensitive skin of the face presents a special type of challenge. With the SENSIDERM CLEANSING SOLUTION, Dr. med. Christine Schrammek derma.cosmetics has developed a 3-in-1 solution for sensitive skin that works without water.

M

ost people connect facial cleansing with the use of water. In general, this is true as the majority of cleansing products are rinsed off with clear water. For sensitive skin, however, it may be advisable to avoid using water as a cleanser. “In regions with hard tap water, this can increase dryness and eczema, especially for very sensitive skin,” warns the dermatologist and allergologist

Dr. med. Christine Schrammek-Drusio. “Studies have shown that the occurrence of eczema or atopic dermatitis increases by 50% in regions with harder water compared to other areas.” The reason for this lies in the composition of the water: hard water contains a lot of calcium and magnesium, both of which can lead to dry skin. With the SENSIDERM CLEANSING SOLUTION, Dr. med. Christine Schrammek Kosmetik has developed a 3-in-1 solution which eliminates make-up and dirt particles from the skin without water while gently removing eye makeup. Additional toning of the skin is not necessary as the SENSIDERM CLEANSING SOLUTION also contains Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) besides the multi-active ingredient Allantoin. Both ingredients help to strengthen the skin’s barrier function and provide a pleasant skin feeling with a smoothing effect.

Simple and convenient – even when you’re on the go Applying the new facial cleanser is very simple. “Put a small amount of SENSIDERM CLEANSING SOLUTION on a cotton pad and swipe it on your face and eye area, if necessary several times,” explains Dr. med. Christine SchrammekDrusio. “That’s all! Your skin is gently cleansed and at the same time refreshed. It will look radiantly fresh.” Your skin does not need to be dried or even rubbed dry with a cloth. This is

SOLUTION

for sensitive skin particularly important for sensitive skin because it becomes especially irritated after drying, which is the usual next step in the process after cleaning with water. The easy application makes the SENSIDERM CLEANSING SOLUTION a convenient traveling companion and a quick

cleansing alternative when you don’t have much time. Unlike cleaning tissues that contain preservatives, among others, the new 3-in-1 solution from derma.cosmetics contains no alcohol, preservatives, PEG containing surfactants and fragrances.

3-IN-1 CLEANSER WITH MICELLAR TECHNOLOGY 1 Cleanser 2 Eye make-up remover 3 Tonic This is how the micellar technology works Micelles are tiny molecular particles consisting of two parts – one ”fat-loving“ (lipophilic) part which is located towards the center of the micelle and one ”water-loving“ (hydrophilic) part which is located at the outside, towards the water. Above a certain concentration of the surfactants, molecules are formed and are thus able to bind water and fat-soluble impurities and cleanse the skin thoroughly but gently. The micelles group together at the skin’s surface so that dirt particles are attracted to them. Subcutaneous fat is not attacked by the micelles, so no toning is necessary.

SENSIDERM CLEANSING SOLUTION 3-IN-1 Cleansing product for sensitive skin. Replaces cleanser, eye make-up remover and tonic. Cleanses, refreshes and strengthens the skin with micellar technology – completely without water. For a healthy and radiant skin. Also ideal for travelling and fast cleansing.

here are many reasons for the formation of dark spots on the face which make the skin look older. Although the increased occurrence of dark spots at the end of the summer is an indication of high UV exposure, this is not the only cause, explains Dr. med. Christine Schrammek-Drusio. “It has been scientifically proven that UV radiation contributes to premature skin aging and the resulting hyperpigmentation. However, stress, oxidation, photosensitising medications, hormonal imbalances and inflammation in the skin can also cause an overproduction of melanin.” Creating melanin is the skin’s most important capability for protecting your cells against harmful UV radiation. But if melanin deposits are excessive, the discoloration will remain. The original GREEN PEEL® Herbal Peeling Treatment can significantly reduce this so-called hyperpigmentation in the top layers of your skin. “With our method for skin renewal, we have created a peeling for the top layers of the epidermis, while speeding up the regeneration process. Depending on your skin type and the nature of the acquired hyperpigmentation, we can achieve great results with it,” says the dermatologist and anti-aging expert. The focus of the GREEN PEEL® treatment is the mixture of herbs. It consists of pure herbs and plants from which leaves, flowers, shoots and roots are used in a pulverised form. The herbal mixture is worked into the skin with a special massage. “Our original herbal peeling treatment is now regarded as one of the best and most tolerated methods for treating hyperpigmentation,” says Dr. med. Christine SchrammekDrusio. “Our customers – and indeed we ourselves – are continually thrilled with the results.” Autumn and winter are the best seasons for the original GREEN PEEL® Herbal Peeling Treatment, since the renewed and rejuvenated skin is initially very sensitive. Direct sunlight should be avoided. Thus the dark season is an ideal time for the treatment. Nevertheless, you should particularly protect your skin in the first few weeks after the treatment, for example by using OPTIMUM PROTECTION CREAM with SPF 20, as UV rays strike the skin even on cloudy days.

An interview with ... Theresa Lülf It’s 8 a.m. in Essen, Germany. What are you doing? Like many of my colleagues, I grab a coffee first thing in the morning. With a large cup of coffee at my side, I first answer all most important e-mails and update my TO DO list for the day or week.

What do you like most about your job? The diversity - My tasks in Export and International Marketing are highly varied, so each day is different. And I really enjoy being in touch with people from a lot of different countries and cultures. This is very exciting and you learn a lot.

Theresa Lülf Account Manager International

Be honest. Before you began working at Dr. Schrammek, did you do everything right for your own skin care? I’m very lucky because I don’t have any major problems with my skin. Nevertheless, I’ve learned from Dr. Schrammek how important it is to thoroughly cleanse my skin. If I’m honest, in the past I used to neglect that sometimes in the evenings. I don’t do that anymore!

Which products do you use?

T

he products of Dr. med. Christine Schrammek Kosmetik are sold worldwide and Theresa Lülf plays an important role in this respect. She has been working in the international team since April 2014 and looks after the company’s international partners by e-mail, telephone, Skype or on-site. Theresa completed her Bachelor’s degree in International Business (with the specialization in Tourism & Event Management) at the Cologne Business School and received her Master’s degree in International Management (major in Marketing & Sales) from the University of Applied Sciences in Muenster. During that time, she enjoyed an eight-month stay abroad (studies and internship) in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain. Theresa Lülf works closely with the international distribution partners and supports them in analysing and developing new sales strategies. In addition, she analyses different markets worldwide and looks for distribution partners for new markets. Her other responsibility is the company’s international marketing where she organises and participates in international exhibitions and other international events. This also includes the preparation of marketing material, newsletters and presentations in English.

I cleanse my skin with SUPER SOFT CLEANSER and tone it with HERBAL CARE LOTION. Then I use the HYALURONHY+ PERFORMANCE SERUM. As a day cream, I use OPTIMUM PROTECTION CREAM and HYDRA MAXIMUM NIGHT CREAM as night care. And since I’m approaching the age at which a little preventive care is necessary, I also like to use the ACTIVE FUTURE series.

How would you describe your perfect weekend? This definitely starts by sleeping in followed by an extensive breakfast – my favorite meal of the day. When the weather is nice, I take every opportunity to spend time outside. Basically, I think it should be a good mix of action and relaxation.

What kind of food can’t you live without? Since I really like to cook, I try a lot of new things on the weekends when I have more time. This can be a bit of everything, from Mediterranean beef fillet over Spanish tapas to Thai curry. If I don’t have much time for cooking, pasta with cherry tomatoes and scampi is one of my favorite meals.

Which book or film has recently inspired you? I’m a big fan of Cody McFadyen’s series with the protagonist Smoky Barrett (Shadow Man, The Face of Death, The Darker Side, Abandoned). His writing style makes the book exciting from the beginning to end and makes you crave for more.
