Rhythm cosmetics: This is what skincare looks like in the rhythm of our lives

Day and night. summer and winter. Ebb and flow. Nature is characterized by numerous rhythms that influence our well-being. Christoph Proeller has been dealing with this phenomenon for decades. After intensively studying chronobiology, the naturopathy expert developed the concept of rhythm cosmetics - and the Lunasol care products. He has been managing director of the family business in Donauwörth since 2000.

Christoph Proeller: It's about holistic beauty care. The aim is to develop the individual beauty of skin and soul equally. In addition, rhythm cosmetics provide both skin and soul with exactly what they need in their current state.

CP: Day and night, week, seasons, age and character.

CP: The skin is active during the day, during the week, in summer and in youth. During the time of sunshine we are thicker-skinned and allow less access to our souls. The skin needs a smaller amount of lipids, more moisture and a strong activation of its own protection, for example through marshmallow root. In the moon phase, i.e. at night, on weekends, in winter or in older age, the skin is drier. She needs more lipids, more, more peace. Then regenerative plants such as chamomile or yarrow are ideal.

CP: In transitional times, the skin becomes out of balance more quickly. It has a harder time regenerating and is more susceptible to inflammation. Therefore, intensive cleaning and clarification are necessary.

CP: Each character can be assigned to one of the twelve signs of the zodiac. We use scents that match your character in the care products. Libras are drawn to grounding, yet airy aromas like lavender. Sagittarius love scents that touch them deeply, such as jasmine.

CP: Yes, they draw their beautiful power from their rhythm. For example, we harvest the activating St. John's wort when the sun is at its highest.

CP: For this we developed the rhythm clock, which shows the current state of the skin and soul (Info:soluna.de).
