Active ingredients backed by solid evidence, a measured approach to sun protection and the skin as an indicator of what happens within – Prof. Dr. Steinkraus on BUNTE's beauty podcast.
No organ can be examined as quickly or as easily as the skin. And few others show so directly that health inside and out cannot be separated.Prof. Dr. Steinkraus was a guest on BUNTE VIP GLOSS, BUNTE's beauty podcast. In conversation with Beauty Director Sara Hopp, he explains why he sees the skin as an indicator of what is happening inside the body, and why beauty is not confined to youth.He distinguishes between the essentials and the extras: cleansing and a moisturiser suited to the skin type as the foundation, plus four active ingredients for which there is solid evidence – hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, vitamin A and niacinamide. From there, the conversation broadens to a measured approach to sun protection, the Mediterranean diet, exercise, sleep and the skin-brain axis. And to the question of why touch is the one sense we cannot do without.One idea runs through the whole conversation: anti-ageing is a contradiction in terms. The goal is to be in as good shape at sixty as others are at forty.
