For many people, skincare is a central part of their daily health and wellness routine. In our interview with Sabrina Köfer, Director of VINOBLE DAY SPA and experienced cosmetician, we delve deep into the topic to gain valuable insights and expert tips on optimal skincare. With her extensive experience and passion for the cosmetics industry, she guides us on what to pay special attention to in skincare routines and which products are essential for a healthy skincare ritual.
What basic steps do you recommend for a daily skincare routine?
Sabrina Köfer: A daily skincare routine should always include cleansing, moisturizing, and during the day, sunscreen. In the evening, you can use a richer skincare product to regenerate your skin overnight. For those who enjoy investing more time in skincare, I also recommend applying a serum between cleansing and moisturizer. Serums penetrate deeply into the skin due to their high concentration of active ingredients, also effectively targeting specific skin concerns. Additionally, incorporating a peel and mask 2-3 times per week enhances the routine for more intensive care. Most importantly, skincare products should always be tailored to your skin type and current skin condition.
Why is it important to tailor your skincare to your skin type, and how can you determine your skin type?
Sabrina Köfer: Knowing your skin type is crucial because each type requires different skincare products and methods to maintain healthy, beautiful skin and avoid issues. Understanding your skin type allows you to choose products that best meet your skin's needs. You can determine your skin type through a professional skin analysis with a cosmetician or by observing your skin at home. If your skin feels tight after cleansing, you likely have dry skin; if it's shiny, you may have oily skin; and if you experience both in different facial areas, you might have combination skin. Individuals with sensitive skin often react to cosmetics, varying temperatures, or other factors that induce allergies or irritations.
What products should be included in every skincare routine?
Sabrina Köfer: Soft cleansing products and products with a high sun protection factor are essential components of a healthy skincare routine. Thorough cleansing removes dirt, impurities, and makeup residues, preventing clogged pores. A daytime moisturizer with an SPF of at least 30 effectively shields the skin from harmful UV rays, which can cause premature ageing and serious skin damage.
What are the benefits of using regional ingredients in cosmetics?
Sabrina Köfer: Regional ingredients are often fresher and contain higher levels of active ingredients compared to imported alternatives. They are also typically more compatible with the skin as they originate from local environments without exotic allergens. Furthermore, there are significant environmental benefits due to shorter transportation distances, making regional sourcing more sustainable and supportive of local economies.
What professional skincare treatments do you offer at VINOBLE DAY SPA, and who are they suitable for?
Sabrina Köfer: At VINOBLE DAY SPA, we offer facial and body treatments, as well as various cosmetic services such as permanent makeup, microblading, eyelash and brow lifts, sugaring, waxing, and treatments with the IRI-PEN for lip volume enhancement or addressing nasolabial and upper lip wrinkles. Our face and body treatments are inspired by Traditional European Medicine and complemented by skincare products from VINOBLE COSMETICS, tailored to the skincare needs of each guest. It's important to note that these are purely vegan and natural products containing highly effective ingredients from grapes and roses, emphasizing our strong connection to nature during every treatment.
How frequently should one schedule professional skincare treatments?
Sabrina Köfer: For optimal results, we recommend scheduling a professional skincare treatment every four to six weeks. Consistent treatments effectively address skincare concerns and allow the skin to regenerate optimally, keeping it healthy, radiant, and resilient.
Is there a common mistake people make with their skincare?
Sabrina Köfer: A common mistake is neglecting sunscreen, which can lead to premature ageing and skin damage. Many underestimate the impact of UV rays, even on cloudy days or during winter. Additionally, I often see people using overly aggressive products that can overstimulate and damage the skin's natural barrier, leading to irritation. Less is often more when it comes to skincare. Gentle, natural products can be just as effective or even better, as natural substances are generally better recognized and absorbed by the body.
Do you have a personal favourite product from VINOBLE COSMETICS?
Sabrina Köfer: Absolutely, my favourite product is the fruit acid peel. It contains no exfoliating granules and is particularly gentle on all skin types, thanks to a blend of lactic and tartaric acids. The scrub stimulates blood circulation and skin renewal, dissolving dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover. Immediately after application, a visibly fresher skin appearance is noticeable.
What is your most important skincare tip that you would give to everyone?
Sabrina Köfer: My most important tip is to always cleanse your skin well and regularly exfoliate. Removing dead skin cells helps keep pores clear and improves skin texture. Additionally, I cannot stress enough the importance of daily sun protection, regardless of the weather or season, and ensuring adequate hydration – both externally through moisturizing products and internally by drinking enough water.
I also encourage everyone to try natural, vegan skincare products. Pay attention to what you apply to your skin and be patient – natural skincare sometimes takes a bit longer but yields sustainable results.
