What products from your brand are you most proud of? "I get excited every time I create a new product, sometimes even obsessive about the feel and efficacy, so it's hard to pick just one that I am proud of. Simply because of how fundamental it is to skin health; I sometimes call my Hyaluronic Serum the "white t-shirt" of my regimen. It's a high concentration of low and high weighted hyaluronic molecules that supports skin barrier function and provides both surface hydration and replenishment of moisture reservoirs at deeper skin layers. It also acts as a delivery vehicle to transport active ingredients more deeply into the skin." What can we expect from your upcoming line? "I am always inventing new products, and my newest inventions include a Vitamin C Serum called e Good C, and a Super-Anti- Aging Hand Cream. Later this year, I will release some inventions based around some new molecules, and my first device for delivering those molecules. I always reveal my new creations first on drsturm. com and via my newsletter." What is a wellness essential you can't live without? "I couldn't live without my Face Mask. It contains Purslane, an anti-aging powerhouse that helps calm the skin and reduces visible signs of irritation, soothing Aloe Vera, and Chamomile which infuses your skin with moisture. Kaolin Clay detoxifies and leaves your complexion feeling silky so and supple." Dr. Sturm's Top Tips: Thorough cleansing, hydrating, exfoliating, and nourishing the skin with nutrient-rich ingredients are essential for any skin regime, and since lately many have spent much more time at home, Dr. Sturm advises we focus on healing our skin in several steps. HYDRATION: First, make sure skin stays hydrated. Apply the hydrating Face Mask every day - it can be kept on throughout the day or even left on during the night. EXFOLI ATION: Use the Facial Scrub to help promote the fibroblasts to produce collagen and to gently remove dead skin cells so that your skin can take on active ingredients. NOURISHMENT: Keep your skin hydrated during the day by using the Hydrating Face Mist or Hyaluronic Serum more frequently, and never forget your Face Cream. (Remember: a serum never replaces a moisturizer). FIGHT DAILY DAM AGE: Anti-Pollution Drops are essential as they protect your skin, not only against the air pollution that everybody is living in but also from HEV rays. When used daily, the serum also promotes the skin's natural barrier function and protects against pollution damage. EAT & SLEEP WELL: Get enough sleep, try to eat anti- inflammatory foods such as leafy greens, healthy fats and oils such as salmon and avocado, dark berries, etc., and try to reduce your screen time as much as you can. @drbarbarasturm V U E N J .
