Confidence is how you feel in your own skin.
Beauty really comes from the inside. I am 60 now and if I compare myself to 20 years ago, I feel so much more beautiful than I could have imagined. Sometimes I am time traveling, then I realise how self-destroying I was at a younger age (this is another story for another time), but I always use the best cosmetics.
For my morning routine, I use ice cubes either normal ones or the ones from Ameon Skin, after I wake-up, I put on serum, then face cream and eye serum from Susanne Kaufmann.
For the evening, I cleanse with a foam, then tonic to remove the rest of my makeup. For the night I am using a face oil, sometimes a calming one Muti skincare, or the one from Just Been Ice Cosmetics with propolis, the night cream from Lamer. Eye cream multi skincare.
I love face masks especially from Augustinus Bader and Mantle Skin which I use on a regular basis like two times a week.

“It’s so easy to handle.’
‘I use this on a regular basis – like tow times a week.’
‘My ultimate favourite for more than 20 years is Amber Sultan from @sergelutens, I just ran out but I have some others which can fill the gap.’
‘One to mention!’
I wash my hair 2 times a week. I am still colouring my hair – I couldn’t imagine growing them out right now.
For my routine I wash my hair, conditioning after, love leave in conditioners and once a month I get a hair pack/mask.
I mostly do a wet look as it’s my signature – I still haven’t found the ultimate wet look product.
If I want a curly look (yes I truly have curly hair), I would use Less is More products. They seriously have the best balm and salty spray and they are organic. As well as Kevin Murphy hair products. I used them for many years because I mostly love the smell. The one I used was smelling of India.
Chanel Les Beiges Touche de Teint, I use this as a foundation. Dr Hauschka x Saskia Diez illuminating fluid, which is another one of my all-time essentials. You can highlight certain areas in your face to give it more shine, on top it has an amazing smell.
Flush balm from Merit as it’s so easy to handle. Eye Shadow Hermes Ombres Petales, all pinky shades, the most flattering for my green eyes.
Mac lipliner is the best consistency, and lip gold from Dr. Hauschka because it makes me feel safe.
Healthly food mostly, Vitamin D, most essential, vitamin C, zinc and omega three, combined with some moves, I love dancing and being surrounded by people who love, value and respect you.
Positive mindset, loads of laughter, nature and traveling.
My ultimate favourite for more than 20 years is Amber Sultan from @sergelutens, just ran out but I have some others which can fill the gap.
I love mixing scents using pure patchouli or vetiver from @doterra to give it a special note. Yes, right I am a perfume cook and very well known for the extraordinary mixtures.
Some more to mention: Le Labo Another 13, Le Labo Poivre 23, Byredo Mumbai Noise, Dries van Noten Raving Rose. I have quite a selection of fragrances as I am so into Flacons.
Get rid of toxic people or people who take too much of your energy. Be positive and try to reach happiness.
Beauty comes from the heart. Work on all your values. Excercise – my go to’s are yoga, pilates, boxing, and running.
Milan – The Brow Bar – excellent mani and pedi and of course for Brows.
Munich – La Mer Institute at Breuninger
Recherche Biologique, they just opened their new institute next to Maximilianstrasse.
Posthotel Bezaubernden by Susanne Kaufmann, my best experience in Head and Neck massage. Plus they have amazing food, a cozy spa environment, and beautiful stuff.
‘All pinky shades, the most flattering for my green eyes.’
