Even though the days of the fair, as they used to be, when it was crowded with visitors, may be (temporarily) over, our “beautiful girl” (NANU means just that in Hindi) was still successfully presented at the Ljubljana Nature-Health Fair this year. And the women who took part at the NANU stand, part of the wider Ljubljana Urban Region Regional Development Agency (LUR RDA) stand, confirmed that taking care of your skin is key, whatever the time, place and situation.

“What is the sequence or steps involved in applying products to the face? What is the best beauty routine? How to take care of the skin in winter, when it is particularly dry?” … These and many other questions were asked at the NANU stand, where founder and formulator Nuša Marinc was available for free consultations. As Nuša notes, women in general are very keen to hear about facial care, UV radiation, skin ageing, antioxidants, skin moisturisation, but the main insight she gained from interacting with the many visitors to the NANU stand was that the correct sequence of skin care products is still an unknown. So we invite you to check out the NANU product guide and establish your own beauty routine.

However, in the current autumn has well and truly set foot in our landwomen are still interested in how to take care of dry skin, we invite you to read Nusha’s excellent blog on the causes and remedies of dry skin: HELP – MY SKIN IS SO VERY DRY.

But, says Nuša, there were also a few men – including well-known businessmen – who expressed their concern for their skin and were also willing to try the products. Men were also eager to hear what the active ingredients were, the difference between natural and commercial cosmetics, what it means for a cosmetic line to be water-free, the difference between refined and unrefined oils, what parabens are, the shelf-life of the products, and so on. Many of the answers to these and similar questions are already collected under Q&A, so you are welcome to read on.

Your beauty routine should be external and internal!

All of this confirms that people are very aware of the importance of taking care of their skin health, which ultimately reflects our inner and innermost health. our overall health, says Nuša. Of course, as she points out, the skin needs both a healthy ‘internal routine’ and external care, but the two are certainly very intertwined. If we take care of our health with a wholesome diet, sufficient exercise, deep breathing, even a deliberate calming down, our skin will thank us. And if we are so conscious about these things, we are more likely to be open to incorporating healthy external (beauty) care into our daily lives.

There are several opinions on how many skin types there are, Nuša reminds us. While some argue that there are four skin types – dry, oily, normal and combination – there is also a widespread division into five basic types – oily, dry, combination, sensitive and mature skin – but American dermatologist Leslie Baumann (who founded the Centre for Cosmetic Dermatology at the University of Miami in 1997, She is also the founder and executive director of the Baumann Institute for Cosmetic Medicine and Research), and even says that there are 16 skin types, which can be divided into the following four groups – dry or oily, insensitive or sensitive (acne, rosacea, stinging, allergies), unpigmented or pigmented (age spots and UV exposure), and wrinkled or firm skin.

It’s important to know your skin well, to know what’s wrong with it, to be able to find products that address your skin’s problems and to discover the daily skincare ritual that’s best suited to your skin type.

This and more was also shared by Nuša at this year’s Nature-Health Fair, which took place on 20. 23. October, where NANU also made its first public appearance. We are grateful to the many visitors and friends who came to greet us and support the birth of our ‘beautiful baby girl’.
