Spring awakening: Why your skin produces more sebum now What happens to your skin during the transition period? The cold season is slowly coming to an end, temperatures are rising and nature is coming back to life. But it's not just the plants that are switching to spring - our skin is also reacting to the changes. Many notice an increase in sebum production, which makes the skin appear shinier and more prone to blemishes. Why does the skin produce more sebum in spring? 1. higher temperatures stimulate the sebaceous glandsIn winter, the sebaceous glands work on the back burner as the cold temperatures reduce oil production. As soon as temperatures rise, sebum production is increased again - the skin regreases more quickly. 2. rising humidity promotes skin oilWith spring, not only does the temperature rise, but also the humidity. This means that the skin loses less moisture - but at the same time produces more sebum to protect itself against changing environmental conditions. 3. more sunlight stimulates the skinSunlight stimulates vitamin D production, which in turn can influence sebum production. In addition, UV radiation often leads to a thickening of the top layer of skin, which makes it harder for sebum to drain away and can cause blemishes. Effects on your skin: Oily shine and blemishes Skin appears more oily and starts to shine Clogged pores lead to blackheads and spots Incorrect skincare can worsen the skin's appearance Tip: Now is the right time to adapt your skincare routine to the new season. The best skincare for spring 1. gentle but effective cleansingGood cleansing is essential to remove excess sebum and dirt particles. Use mild cleansing products such as Tal ABSOLUE Cleansing Gel, which gently clarifies and does not dry out the skin. 2. light moisturiser instead of rich creamsSwitch from heavy winter creams to light, moisturising formulas that are not too greasy. A good choice is Tal ABSOLUE Detoxifying Day Cream, which intensively moisturises without clogging the pores. 3. regular exfoliation to cleanse poresGentle exfoliation removes dead skin cells and prevents blemishes. 4. daily sun protection is a mustThe spring sun can be intense, which is why you should use a light sunscreen. 5. healthy diet and plenty of waterA balanced diet with plenty of vitamins supports skin health. Drink enough water to hydrate your skin from the inside out.

Clean beauty: hype or real benefits? The beauty world has changed dramatically in recent years. More and more people are scrutinising the ingredients in their skincare products, looking for sustainable alternatives and attaching importance to transparency. This is exactly where the term clean beauty comes in. But what exactly does it mean? What should you look out for if you want to care for your skin consciously and sustainably? What is clean beauty? Clean beauty stands for skincare and cosmetics that are free from questionable ingredients and are also produced in an environmentally friendly way. It's not just about what it doesn't contain, but also about the quality of the ingredients, the sustainability of the packaging and the ethics behind the brand. Important principles of Clean Beauty: Transparent ingredients: No hidden chemicals, but clearly declared active ingredients. Avoidance of potentially harmful substances: These include parabens, silicones, synthetic fragrances, PEGs, sulphates and mineral oils. Sustainability: Environmentally friendly packaging, resource-saving production and fairly traded ingredients are essential. Skin compatibility: Particularly sensitive skin benefits from gentle, natural formulations without irritating additives. Why clean beauty is so important Many conventional cosmetic products contain substances that can cause long-term skin irritation or hormonal disorders. By avoiding unnecessary chemicals and synthetic additives, the skin is not only protected, but can also have a healthier glow in the long term. Clean beauty is therefore not a fad, but a movement towards conscious and healthy skin. What does Tal look like?

Anyone who opts for Tal is choosing high-quality, natural skincare products that can be used with a clear conscience. Beauty starts with the right skincare - and it should be as clean as possible.

Skin care for winter sports The cold season not only brings snow-covered landscapes and unforgettable winter sports experiences, but also special challenges for our skin. Whether skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing or simply walking in the snow - the skin is exposed to particular stresses in winter. Wind, cold and the reflection of the sun on the snow can lead to skin problems, but these can be easily avoided with the right skin care. In this blog post, you will find out why skin care is so important for winter sports and how you can optimally protect your skin - with the high-quality products from Tal Hautpflege. Sun, snow and their effects on the skin Many people think that the danger of the sun only exists in summer, but the winter sun can be just as harmful to the skin. Snow reflects up to 80 per cent of UV rays, which means that the skin is exposed to intense UV rays even in winter. Especially on the slopes, where the reflection from the snow is even stronger, the risk of sunburn increases, even in cool temperatures. In addition, the low temperatures and icy wind can dry out and irritate the skin. Sensitive skin areas such as the cheeks, nose and lips are particularly affected. 1. skiing & snowboarding When you are skiing or snowboarding, you are exposed to the cold and wind at higher altitudes. The skin dries out quickly and can become brittle due to constant contact with the wind. UV rays are particularly intense at high altitudes. It is therefore important to protect your skin before travelling. It is therefore essential to use a sun cream suitable for your skin type with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30. We also recommend an oily but not too heavy face cream that strengthens the skin barrier and retains moisture: To product 2. cross-country skiing When cross-country skiing, you are often outdoors for several hours and therefore exposed to even more intense weather conditions. The wind in particular can put a lot of strain on the skin and remove moisture. Lightweight, fast-absorbing care products that do not weigh the skin down but still offer long-lasting protection are ideal for this type of sport. 3. winter walks in the snow Those who prefer a more leisurely pace and simply stroll through the snow should also focus not only on warm clothing, but also on the right skin protection. UV rays and wind can also irritate and damage the skin during long walks in the snow. A rich cream is recommended to prevent redness or skin irritation. To protect your hands from the cold and moisture, we recommend our Tal MED Protect. It is ideal for providing your hands with the necessary weather protection during long walks in winter: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vHeqAwa8z-k About the product Sensitive areas of the body Particularly sensitive areas such as the lips and eye area require extra attention in winter. Lips can quickly become chapped due to the cold air and sun. It is best to use a moisturising lip balm with UV protection outdoors. With a high-quality lip balm, such as Tal SOS-Balm Lip & Skin, you can regenerate sensitive lips after winter sports. The eye area should also be protected during winter sports, as the delicate skin here is particularly susceptible to dryness and UV damage. A light eye cream with moisturising ingredients is particularly recommended here. To the product The winter skin care plan 1. preparation before sportStart with a moisturising cream that prepares your skin well for the day. Make sure that it is absorbed quickly and is not sticky so as not to impair your sporting activities. 2. during sportProtect sensitive areas such as lips and nose with a special balm. For longer outdoor activities, you can regularly moisturise your skin with a light cream. 3. care after sportAfter skiing, snowboarding or cross-country skiing, your skin should receive a rich moisturiser. Use a regenerating cream that soothes the skin and regenerates it after the rigours of winter sports. For regeneration after sport, we recommend our Tal ABOLUE Total Regeneration Night Cream: To the product summary Skin care in winter and during winter sports should not be underestimated. The combination of cold, wind and intense UV rays is a challenge for the skin, but with the right care you can optimally protect and care for your skin. Our products offer you everything you need for well-groomed skin on every winter adventure.
