If you’re uncertain about your colour type there is a quick and easy way to check whether you’re a warm or cool skin type: using a silver bracelet and a gold bracelet (they don’t have to be real silver or gold), hold the two bracelets against your arm. Silver looks to be out of harmony on the skin of warm types, whilst gold comes to life. Likewise, silver is in harmony and stands out on the skin of cool types and gold looks dull and lifeless. This helps to determine whether you have cool or warm undertone; from here you can determine whether you’re a clear or muted skin type.

Sanddorn Lifting Cream is an intensive, fast-working cream, which helps to firm skin tissue and stimulate regeneration. It smoothes fine lines and wrinkles and actively prevents the formation of new ones, giving skin a youthful and radiant tone. For more moisture, elasticity and a younger appearance this is an ideal product for anyone from their thirties onwards as it helps to firm and tone thanks to it’s high concentration of tannins. Tannins have a temporary botox-like effect and visibly tighten the skin.
