Cosmetics, Beauty
German term or phrase: Hautbild
Unsere Haut verändert sich ständig, da sie praktisch täglich vielen äußeren und inneren Reizen ausgesetzt ist. (Unsausgewogene) Ernährung, Umweltbelastungen, klimatische Veränderungen, Streß, hormonelle Schwankungen oder das zunehmende Allergierisiko beeinflussen dass Hautbild – und jeder Mensch reagiert anders auf diese Reize, denn die Haut ist so individuell wie wir selbst es sind.
