Beauty from the outside and inside

My beauty shot of Berlin

 

The beauty secret (of all time) from Berlin Kreuzberg, where the store of Urban Cosmetics Berlin is located, is their very own wheatgrass juice! It creates pure beauty from the inside. In addition to chlorophyll, plenty of vitamins and minerals it ensures an active metabolism that cleanses the blood, detoxifies the liver and thus considerably improves many complaints, including those of the skin. So the neighbors of Karin and Fabian (and ME) come by weekly to get their beauty shot only, by the way it is freshly pressed and delicious!

How to clean up your beauty routine for healthier skin

Beauty routine for healthier skin

 

One of the very first things you’re taught when you’re a kid is how to clean and wash your face (properly). But not everyone knows the hygiene routines to keep your skin clean and healthy. Gentle facial cleansing with the power of the purest organic blossom waters does help. Urban cosmetics Berlin aka Karin and Fabian use hydrolates in combination of carrot, witch hazel and rose hydrolate (in UC1 Fine Cleaning Water). Not only do they care for and clean skin pores, they can also have an calming and cell-building effect for sensitive skin. One highlight, it contains silver which is anti-inflammatory.

How to apply a serum for a healthier skin

Face serum for the skin

 

The UC2 Face Serum from Urban Cosmetics Berlin is a "personalized" moisturizing serum for all skin types. Every skin has its individual demands and has to adapt to many factors such as weather and stress (especial in Berlin ;). Therefore, Karin and Fabian have developed the UC2 Serum in combination with a skin oil, based on Aloe Vera gel, rose and carrot hydrolate, hyaluron and silver. Applying the UC3 Gentle Face Oil afterwards is highly recommended. In the combination you get an effect like a lotion, but individually adapted to your skin type and without emulsifiers or preservatives.

Combining serum and oil is one beauty secret from UCBerlin

Face oil for the skin

 

The UC3 face oil of Urban Cosmetics Berlin is a gentle natural power plant from the seeds of the raspberry. Full of natural vitamin E. This fantastic oil also comes with a natural, very high UV protection and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film. The addition of essential lavender, sandalwood and neroli oil makes the skin firm and supple. UC3 is an excellent skin oil additionally applied after a moisturizing treatment like the UC2 Face Serum.

A must do for beautiful and healthy hair

Hair care

 

No need, well in some cases ;). "Berliner Haarwasser" (hair tonic) is another beauty treasure, it takes mild care for head and hair, thanks to a selection of ten hydrolates specially formulated by Karin and Fabian. Together with caffeine and wheat protein (without alcohol), it strengthens weak hair in particular, but also supports itchy, dry scalp and can reduce hair loss and dandruff.
