Perfect skin? We all dream of that. But why only dream of it when we can have it ?! We asked an expert for advice.
A perfect skin shines, is pure, looks fresh and is even. At least in a perfect world. For most of us it doesn't look like it, but we try everything to get there. That's why we asked Skincare guru and founder of the eponymous brand Ole Henriksen in an interview how we can actually do this. Spoiler: It really works!
Perfect skin – but how?
"One of the most important secrets behind glowing skin is a chemical peel, preferably overnight while you are sleeping," explains Henriksen. They ensure that dead skin is removed – without coarse peeling grains that could irritate the skin. According to Henriksen, people with dry skin in particular are afraid to use peels, although that is actually the solution. This is because the skin can only absorb and bind moisture. Chemical peels are usually liquid. Henriksen recommends applying it to the skin with a cotton pad and then waiting about two minutes before the aftercare follows.
According to Ole Henriksen, vitamin C should not be missing on the way to perfect skin. The Banana Bright line by Ole Henriksen is one of the bestsellers, for example, it combines three iconic Ole Glow® ingredients: vitamin C, peeling acids and pigments inspired by banana powder to improve the elasticity of the skin, increase its radiance and protect it from environmental pollution to protect.
Stay consistent!

"My best advice is to always stick to skin care, after all, we have our skin for a lifetime. Also, I think it's a good idea to look at your skin in the mirror once a week from a distance of 20 centimeters to keep a close eye on, "advises Henriksen. Logical, because only when we know what our skin needs can we react.
And another top tip: According to Henriksen, the focus of lightening and illuminating products should always be around the eye region – whether care or make-up. That is why many eye creams contain light-reflecting pigments, such as the Banana Bright Eye Crème by Ole Henriksen. Such products work for women and for men and make our eyes shine even without concealers and co.
