Classic challenges in skin care
The most common skin care challenges for Finns are skin aging, dryness and sensitivity. In addition, an expert’s help is requested for one’s own, everyday skin care routines and related product choices.
– Correct and individual skin care and finding the right products for you are the basis of everything and the biggest challenge. Those are the ones where the most help is sought, reveals Miikkulainen.

– Aging, hormone function and challenges caused by stress in the skin are more common.
At the moment, regardless of age, many Finns are looking for a certain type of skin.
– The most up-to-date wish is to bring out the lightness and suppleness of the skin. This is currently a strong trend in skin care for people of all ages, reveals Miikkulainen.

Naturally, different ages have different challenges.
– Everyone has age-related challenges. In young people, this most commonly means acne, impurities and dry skin. For older people, instead, menopause and skin aging are common.
– There are also differences in people’s lifestyles and they affect the condition of the skin. For example, peak years, stress, hobbies and own hormonal activity can also be seen in the skin, Miikkulainen emphasizes.
The effect of the seasons
How have different beauty puzzles changed over the years? What about within different seasons?
– The puzzles have been the same for a long time. Of course, customers are more aware these days. In addition, more efficient, faster and more visible results are sought today, says Miikkulainen.

– However, the rhythm of life and ways of living have changed. Rush, hecticness, working with screen terminals and smart devices, as well as being present on social media, bring different challenges today.
Miikkulainen says that nowadays more people have a clearer vision of what they want to look like.

– The seasons do affect it. It’s still time to protect your skin from sunlight. Changes in the climate, such as a change from cold, wet and humid air to dry and sunny, can be seen and felt on the skin, Miikkulainen reminds.
– Lotions and serums have now become part of a regular skin care routine. The change can also be seen in the fact that Luononkosmetikika has strongly risen alongside traditional cosmetics.
