It also ensures you’re using your cleansing products much more economically.
When you complete your cleanse with a cold compress or splashes of cold water you activate the minute muscle that sits alongside the hair follicle which contracts, helping to remove any last remaining dirt. This simple technique leaves your skin feeling ever so soft without harsh exfoliation.
A daily moment of ‘mindfulness’ during your morning and evening skin rituals.
Your skin will reward you with the extra effort that pore-deep cleansing and truly clean skin brings.

We know life’s busy, and sometimes at the end of a hectic day it could be tempting to evening cleanse in a jiffy with a face wipe. Cleansing wipes do seem like a convenient, quick and cheap solution.
However, facial wipes may contain some potent chemicals simply due to the nature of the product…
Moist cloths packed on top of each other are a breeding ground for bacteria.
They sit on shelves for up to 18 months on a warm shop floor, so require high levels of preservatives and antibacterial agents to keep them stable.
These chemicals are then rubbed vigorously into the skin, particularly concerning around the delicate eye and lip area.
As well as irritation and sensitivities for some, they are also drying, and dryness causes premature wrinkles.
Always read product ingredients. Particular ingredients to avoid:
2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1, 3-Dio – potent anti-microbial agent, releases very low levels of formaldehyde
Methylisothiazolinone, or MI, a preservative that may cause swelling, rashes and blistering, it’s often found in cleansing wipes, incredibly it’s also found in baby wipes
You’re not going to achieve a deep or thorough cleanse with a wipe and without rinsing you’re leaving residual chemicals on your skin during the important night time regenerating and elimination activities of the skin.
Always complete Compressing & Hydrating your skin with a cool splash or compress
A cleansing regime with product ingredients that care for your skin is the first step towards healthy, balanced and radiant skin!
We promote Compressing & Hydrating your skin prior to cleansing which may take a little more time, however the benefits are:
Your skin is softened in preparation for a much deeper cleanse
Premium natural and organic ingredients for your skin
Cleansing products that respect the pH and hydrolipid layer of the skin
Aromatic benefits with Bath Essenceuse in your basin water
Tip: Always complete with a cool water splash or compress which will activate a minute muscle beside the hair follicle and this will remove any remaining dirt and leave your skin feeling wonderfully soft without harsh exfoliation
If you really are in too much of a hurry for Compressing & Hydrating and simply must have a quicker option remove make-up and eye make-up and the dust and dirt your skin picks up during the day with Soothing Cleansing Milk. Remove cleanser with Cleansing Sponge, and cool splash.
Always invest a little time to achieve a healthy, radiant skin.
Dr. Hauschka Cleansing Sponge comes dehydrated and flat, just add water and it swells.
Ingredients matter and quality ingredients matter most
Your skin is semi-permeable and absorbs much
Remember read your products ingredients list rather than just labels
Every ingredient in the formulations of Dr. Hauschka skin care products are there for the benefit of your skin, not for the formula itself. There are no fillers and no synthetic chemical ingredients, this is why our products are so concentrated and that’s why they also represent value for money.
One of our key ingredients, Anthyllis (aka Woundwort) found in Soothing Cleansing Milk
Let’s look at Soothing Cleansing Milk ingredients:
Alcohol – food grade ethyl alcohol (ethanol) from organically grown wheat that is fermented and distilled and is gluten-free. Many plants are extracted in alcohol because it extracts the widest variety of plant constituents. Alcohol also serves as a natural emulsifier, preservative and carrier, helping ingredients penetrate the skin. Alcohol is not drying to the skin when part of a carefully formulated Dr. Hauschka composition.
Anthyllis – one of our key ingredients, extensively studied by Elisabeth Sigmund, co-founder of Dr. Hauschka. Anthyllis, (aka Woundwort) guides all skin conditions to a state of strength and balance.
Jojoba Seed Oil (Simmondsia Chinensis) – A very stable wax derived from the fruit (seeds) of jojoba. The wax which is liquid at room temperature contains beta carotene and tocopherols. Jojoba oil is highly valued for its moisturising and emollient (skin softening) effects. It protects the skin from dryness with a breathable, non-sticky, non-greasy film. It also smoothes and fortifies the epidermis.
Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis) – Cold pressed from the edible nut kernels (fruit) of the almond tree, sweet almond oil is an excellent skin-softening (emollient) oil historically used for centuries in skin care. It is mild, lightweight and easily absorbed into the skin as well as rich in unsaturated fats and essential fatty acids, such as linoleic acid. It has a calming and soothing effect especially for dry, itchy skin and supports the skin’s barrier function.
Apricot Kernel Oil (Prunus Armeniaca) – obtained from the seeds of apricot fruits by cold pressing and filtration. Lightweight, nurturing, and easily absorbed by the skin, apricot kernel oil is high in vitamins A and E and essential fatty acids. Especially soothing for sensitive, dry or sunburned skin, it helps to replenish the skin and maintain a healthy moisture balance. Similar to sweet almond oil in characteristics and scent, it is excellent for making oil extractions of plants.
Glycerin – also known as glycerol, a sugar alcohol and a building block of triglyceride fats and oils. Only plant-derived glycerin is used for Dr. Hauschka Skin Care products. It helps preserve the skin’s moisture.
Fermented Grain Extract – Sourdough bread made of freshly milled oats, wheat and rye is subjected to a second fermentation process, in which naturally occurring lactic acid probiotics transform the bread into a highly nutritive substance. The liquid portion that results is called Brottrunk which, literally means “bread drink”– a traditional European health drink. The remaining solid portion, rich in proteins, calcium, iron, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, E, and co-enzyme A, is used to make fermented grain extract. It contains natural ferments that help protect the skin’s acid mantle and have humectant and soothing properties. Fermented grain extract also helps break down impurities while bringing moisture and vitality to the skin. Fermented grain extract contains gluten.
Cetearyl Alcohol – a fatty alcohol derived from plant oils that has a firm, white, wax-like appearance with emulsifying properties. Helps bind the components of creams, hydrate the skin and make it soft and supple.
Bentonite – A white clay of volcanic origin found primarily in the USA, it is a natural clay mineral that can store large amounts of water, allowing it to stabilise emulsions. A thickener and emulsifier, in makeup, it absorbs oil and reduces shine. It has a cooling feel since water evaporates quickly from clay.
Lecithin – from soy beans (tested and certified Non-GMO) bind the oil and water components in creams, acting as a natural emulsifier. It has a smoothing and moisturising effect on the skin. Lecithin is a component of all of the body’s cell membranes, helping to form and stabilise them.
Xanthan Gum – produced from sugar syrup by a natural yeast-like microorganism, Xanthomonas campestris. A complex cardohydrate (polysaccharide) which is used as a thickening agent. It covers the skin as a soft, moist gel which feels pleasant on the skin.
Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein – protein that has been broken down by hydrolysis into smaller proteins and amino acids. It adds a slippery feel to a product, provides emollient, skin softening actions and serves as a consistency regulator. Hydrolyzed Wheat protein contains gluten.
Fragrance – we only use natural and organic essential oils, we do not use cheap synthetic chemical perfumes, AND we have our very own in house perfumer, Jorg Zimmermann.
Let’s Look at Cleansing Cream Ingredients:
Sweet Almond Meal – ground almonds bind particularly well with dirt and the skin’s overnight eliminations giving a deep yet gentle morning cleanse.
Calendula – An important herb, calendula is high in carotenes, flavonoids, mucilage, saponins, tannins and essential oils. The sun-like pot marigold has soothing, astringent, and regenerating properties.
Anthyllis – one of our key ingredients, extensively studied by Elisabeth Sigmund, co-founder of Dr. Hauschka. Anthyllis, aka Woundwort brings all skin conditions to a state of strength and balance.
Peanut Oil – pharmaceutical grade peanut oil is used as an extracting medium for many plants. It has neutral qualities that do not interfere with the herb’s active constituents. It’s a very stable oil, requiring no additional antioxidants. Our peanut oil is steam treated and filtered to remove the proteins related to peanut allergies and has been tested and certified as aflatoxin-free.
Chamomile – benefits delicate and sensitive skin because of its skin-soothing properties. German Chamomile essential oil is a deep blue colour due to chamazulene which gives it powerful anti-inflammatory properties, and supports the body’s response to irritation by clearing heat.
St. John’s Wort (Hypericum) – soothing and calming to the skin. It is often used in cosmetics for skin that is extremely sensitive or irritated. In topical use, the oil does not make the skin more sensitive to sunlight.
Sunflower Seed Oil and Sweet Almond Oil – nourishing.
Witch Hazel – leaf and bark is rich in tannins that have toning and fortifying effects on the skin.
Wheat Germ Oil – gluten free and a rich source of Vitamin E.
Fragrance – we only use natural and organic essential oils, we do not use cheap synthetic chemical perfumes.
Barbados Cherry Fruit – Acerola, also known as the West Indian cherry, is a native of the Mexican Yucatan peninsula. Its red, cherry-like fruits are rich in Vitamin C, 60 times more than citrus fruits. Extracts of acerola are used for their antioxidant, skin-protecting and fortifying properties.
Xanthan Gum – produced from sugar syrup by a natural yeast-like microorganism. A complex carbohydrate (polysaccharide) which is used as a thickening agent. It’s a moist gel which feels pleasant on the skin.
Lecithin – from soy beans (tested and certified Non-GMO) bind the oil and water components in creams, acting as a natural emulsifier. It has a smoothing and moisturising effect on the skin.
Algin – a gel forming substance obtained from seaweed. Thickens and stabilises creams and keeps the skin supple.

Welcome to Your 28 Days Skin Fitness & Detox Programme for a healthy, radiant skin!
Spring and autumn are the two most transitional seasons of the year, this is the time when your skin needs additional support. Complete Your Spring Skin Fitness & Detox 28 Day Programme, for radiant, healthy, nourished, even toned and refined skin. Conscious ‘me time’ and extra skin care.
1) Day 1 of Your Programme begin with a early evening cleanse, then Clarifying Steam Bath and Clarifying Clay Mask followed by Cream Mask application. You’ll do this once a week, so choose a night for it, we like Sunday night.
2) Use Renewing Night Conditioner or Sensitive Care Conditioner ampoule every night instead of Toner for 28 nights.
3) On Wednesday or Thursday night each week of the programme cleanse early in the evening and apply Cream Mask. Leave to absorb all evening, removing just before bedtime.
Tip: Mix a small amount of your chosen Cream Mask (Hydrating, Revitalising, Firming or Soothing) in with your daily moisturiser over the 28 days as well for even more of a skin boost.
1) Drink warm water and lemon juice first thing upon waking in the morning and do this every morning. If it’s going to be easier then juice a pile of lemons, put the juice in ice blocks and freeze. Take one block out each night and place in a cup, so you’re ready for the morning. We need to make this habit quick and easy. Aids the body in a clear skin, flushing out toxins, jump starts the digestive tract, aids the liver in its cleansing processes and increases detoxification.
Why do we promote ‘Compress & Hydrate’?
a) Warming your skin first softens your pores to ensure a much deeper cleanse
b) You will use your cleansing products much more economically
c) Complete by splashing or compressing with cool water after cleansing to activates a minute muscle beside the hair follicle, contraction helps to remove any last remaining dirt
d) Your skin will feel so much softer without the need for harsh exfoliation
e) Check out our Compress & Hydrate + Press & Roll video
5) Day Care – all are highly concentrated so should always be warmed between the palms of the hands and applied to skin still moist from Toner. This ensures even and economical application.
Clarifying Day Oil – to balance and regulate an oily/blemished skin Melissa Day Cream – for sensitive combination (oily t-zone, dry/normal cheeks) skin Rose Day Cream Light – for normal or sensitive skin, usually recommended for a younger skin, up to around 35. Rose Day Cream – rich and highly protective for normal, dry, sensitive, mature skin Quince Day Cream – cooling, soothing and protective for normal skin or sensitive skin Tinted Day Cream – tinted moisturiser for normal, dry, sensitive or mature skin Revitalising Day Cream – for aiding sebaceous activity and guiding skin to a balanced state in a normal, dry, mature/pallid skin Regenerating Serum & Regenerating Day Cream – specific support for firming a maturing skin
This is your weekly routine, so repeat until you reach your 28th evening. By which time your skin will be deeply cleansed, nourished, more even toned, soft, radiant and healthy!

Great skin care is about using the highest quality natural and organic products. Eat fresh, nutritious food, drink 6-8 glasses of water daily, 8 hours sleep and put measures in place if you’re stressed – a state of relaxation, happiness and laughter is good for your skin. A 30 minute daily walk in the fresh air is good for your body, mind and soul, in nature if you can.
Mixing Clarifying Clay Mask with water in readiness for application
For those that need it here’s step by step instructions on how to do a Clarifying Steam Bath, Clarifying Clay Mask and Cream Mask for Day 1 which will be repeated once a week during the programme, alternatively there’s full instructions in your product box:
1. Compress and hydrate your skin, cleanse with Soothing Cleansing Milk, remove with the warm, moist Dr. Hauschka Compress Cloth.
2. Place 1 heaped teaspoon of Clarifying Clay Mask in a small container in readiness.
3. Dilute two teaspoons of Clarifying Steam Bath with ½ litre (500ml) of steaming water in a large bowl. Lean over the bowl, covering the head with towel, and steam for 5-10 minutes. Follow with Clarifying Clay Mask application.
Please note: If you don’t wish to steam, then you may do this step with Clarifying Steam Bath and ‘Compress and Hydrate’ instead.
4. While your skin is still warm and moist mix 2 to 2 1/2 teaspoons of water (I use the Clarifying Steam Bath water) to the Clarifying Clay Mask in the small container. The consistency you want is spreadable, not too thin because it will drip off your face and not a paste.
5. Apply mask to your face and neck excluding eye contour area ideally with a mask brush. Apply from the centre of the face outwards. We always work in the direction of lymph flow. Allow to dry, it’s no longer active once dry.
Clarifying Clay Mask Tip: Watch where the clay mask dries first. That’s a good indication that particular area of your face is dehydrated. Are you missing that area with your Day Care? Do you need a richer Day Care product?
6. To remove Clarifying Clay Mask the Dr. Hauschka Cleansing Sponge makes the job quick and easy, but a non white face flannel will do, moistened with the now lukewarm facial steam water. Remove by moistening the mask first, then wiping.
8. Leave on for at least 30 minutes to absorb. I leave mine on for most of the evening. Remove Cream Mask with a warm moist Compress Cloth before bedtime.
Please note: If you are new to Renewing Night Conditioner ampoules, flick the top to ensure all liquid is in the bottom of the ampoule, then using a towel break off the glass top. Pour 1/2 the contents into the palm of one hand, spread between the palms of the hands and quickly press into the skin and repeat with the balance of the liquid. Apply nothing further to your skin. It’s bedtime.
Note: We do not recommend any heat for a rosacea skin condition – use tepid water for a Compress & Hydrate instead.
Your skin will reward you for the extra effort, it will look radiant, refined and even toned, nourished and pampered. x
Dryness and dehydration are prime reasons for premature wrinkles so it’s imperative we protect our skin from these conditions, and during winter we need to be particularly vigilant, as outdoor weather is drying and indoor heating is dehydrating.
So what’s the solution to winter dryness and dehydration?
Hydrating Mask is Dr. Hauschka’s ultimate winter skin fix, twice a week, cleanse early in the evening and apply the mask, also include eye contour area, and leave on to absorb all evening, removing with a moist, tepid cloth before bed. You’ll love how your skin feels in the morning!
TIP: If your skin is extremely dry/dehydrated you may also use Hydrating Mask as your ‘day moisturiser’ for a month long boost or until condition improves.
Hydrating Mask’s super rich blend of botanicals soothes, protects and revitalises while sealing in moisture, leaving skin feeling smooth and supple.
– Quince seed extract replenishes and helps dry skin to retain moisture
– Nourishing Almond, Avocado,Olive and Jojoba oils
– Rose Wax and organic Shea Butter soothe and protect
Rose Day Cream contains Shea Butter, Beeswax and precious Rose Wax to protect your skin from outside elements and indoor heating. Precious extracts of Rose Petals and Wild Rose Hips help to balance and harmonise your skin, softening Marsh Mallow, calming St. John’s wort and nourishing Avocado Oil for winter care. Rose is a warming ingredient.
Quince Day Cream contains Quince Seed extract which helps your skin to retain moisture, while Quince Wax is protective against the environment. Quince is a cooling ingredient, however, that’s fine for some parts of the country.
TIP: Winter Mask Blend Treatment:
Firming, Moisturising and Hydrating Mask Blend, for a dry and/or dehydrated skin that also needs firming…
Cleanse early in the evening
Apply a generous amount of Regenerating Serum including eye contour area as an ‘eye mask’ as well
Leave to absorb all evening, removing with a warm, moist cloth just before bedtime
If your skin is dry, red, irritated, itchy or flaky in winter, choose Soothing Mask instead of Hydrating Mask to strengthen and restore a sensitive skin. Regenerating Serum is also formulated for a sensitive skin.
Lips and Eyes
Eye Balm is a beeswax based product. You only need use the size of a piece of rice, then melt the waxes between your ring fingers and apply gently to eye contour area. Enormously protective against winter weather and skin feels as soft as silk. Lip Balm for luscious lips even in cold weather.
Dry winter hands?
Give your hands a once a week Hydrating Mask treatment while you watch a movie. Use Hydrating Hand Cream daily, which deeply moisturises without leaving a greasy residue.
Body Moisturising
Dr. Hauschka Body Oils are applied to skin still moist from shower or bath, making a water/oil emulsion directly on your skin for rapid absorption and economical use.
Winter is a hibernating time according to the rhythm of nature. We can’t exactly hibernate, but we can sustain ourselves with warming Body Oils such as Moor Lavender Calming Body Oil which is also very protective and aids with stress, Blackthorn Toning Body Oil which is also strengthening and just feels good at this time of year, or warming Rose Nurturing Body Oil.
Cold Feet?
A warming foot bath, perhaps while you are having your Mask treatment. Choose your Dr. Hauschka Bath Essence aromatics for the benefits you are looking for:
Moor Lavender Calming Bath Essence to help you sleep better and to soothe and calm the nervous system. This is a milky formula for it’s protective qualities.
Almond Soothing Bath Essence quiets the mind, instilling feelings of warmth and comfort. The complex fragrance with almond and orange essential oils is uplifting to the spirit. Especially soothing to dry, sensitive and itchy skin.

Feel the exotic care and protection of the queen of all flowers as you bathe in the velvety warmth of this beautiful bath essence. This is a milky formula for it’s protective qualities.
After you have dried your feet then apply Deodorising Foot Cream. Invigorating Rosemary essential oil, Silk and Sage combine to warm, balance and revitalise feet.

Neem, St. John’s wort and calendula extracts combine to visibly minimise redness and help maintain a healthy, radiant complexion
Applying our homeopathic knowledge of ‘like treats like’ we recommend an oil for an oily skin. It may seem counter-intuitive however, harsh products just ‘strip’ the skin creating imbalance and the skin produces more oil to compensate whereas Clarifying Day Oil calms and relaxes the skin.
If you get pimples then definitely add Coverstick into your morning regime, to treat and conceal with just the right amount of tea tree and manuka for their anti-bacterial properties, and tapioca starch which absorbs. Amazing product!
Please note: Clarifying Day Oil may also be used as an Oil ‘serum’ by mixing a drop or two with Rose Day Cream for additional protection against the environment and an anti-oxidant boost for any skin condition.

Maintains the skin’s moisture balance and protects it from external influences

Foundation evens out the skin’s tone, giving it a balanced, radiant appearance.

Active Care with Dr. Hauschka Lemon Lemongrass Body Products and Specific Massage Technique
To help prevent cellulite and treat areas already affected, steps are required which stimulate both metabolism and circulation to the skin. A healthy fresh diet and regular exercise are essential, as of course is taking care of your skin with natural and organic skin care as opposed to petrochemical based products that are occlusive and impede the natural functions of the skin. Choosing Dr. Hauschka’s Lemon Lemongrass VitalisingBody Care products is an excellent choice to get your firming and toning programme off to the best start!
1. Application
Pour some Lemon Lemongrass Body Oil into your palms. Starting above the knee, spread the oil onto your skin by sliding your hands up your thighs. Repeat this gliding movement until the oil has been applied to your entire thigh and buttock area.
2. Circulation
Using circular movements, massage the oil applied in Step 1 into your skin from the knee to the buttocks. Increase the pressure with every upward stroke. Repeat this sequence 3x on the inner and outer sides of each thigh.
3. Kneading
Moving upwards from the knee, knead the oil into your skin. Grasp your skin lightly with one hand and release it, then repeat the same hold using the other hand. Continue the alternating kneading movements with both hands until you reach the top of your thigh. Repeat this sequence over your entire thigh and buttock area.
Next Step: Lemon Lemongrass Vitalising Body Milk to add a note of freshness and firming to your day. The aroma of sun-ripened lemons will invigorate you from tip to toe. Lovingly prepared extracts of sage, horsetail, blackthorn berries and flowers encourage the skin to activate and tone. A body lotion that’s rapidly absorbed with olive and jojoba oils that will leave your skin feeling soft and silky.
Contrast Showers Stimulate Circulation
As we age the metabolic processes in the tissue slow down, resulting in circulatory problems and congestion. Weaker connective tissue leads the skin to become less firm with problematic areas developing on the upper arms, hips, thighs and buttocks. Fat cells push through the slack connective tissue in the shape of small dimples, known to us as cellulite. Contrast showers stimulate the skin’s circulation and metabolism, to promote a lasting firming effect on the connective tissue. Start with warm water until you feel warmed all the way through, then complete your shower by switching to cold water and guide the spray upwards from your feet to your legs and arms, stopping at shoulders and repeat 3 times.
By taking these steps, a lasting firming effect on the underlying tissue can be achieved.
Plant Profile: Lemon
Habitat: Native to Eastern and Southern Asia, Persia, Himalayas Constituents: Vitamin C, citric acid, essential oil, pectin
The Plant at Dr. Hauschka: On the skincare level the formative power of Lemon helps to firm the skin. Our Lemon Lemongrass products have a firming action on the connective tissue and thus help prevent cellulite and connective tissue weakness.
Description: Everyone knows the yellow, oval fruits of the lemon. You couldn’t imagine a kitchen without them today. The appearance and taste of this acid citrus fruit have given rise to many a proverb or saying. In the warmer climates which the tree needs to thrive, it reaches a height of up to fifteen feet. The dark green, leathery leaves have an aromatic scent. The flowers, white on the inside and tinged with deep pink on the outside. Fresh ripe lemons may be harvested two to four times a year.
Uses: Of course the lemon is mainly used for culinary purposes. It is widely used as flavouring and an aromatic in many foods as well as in cleaning products. In anthroposophical medicine, lemon is used to treat allergic diseases.
Interesting Facts: The citrus fruits owe their generic name “Citrus” to their ability to drive away moths and other pests with their strong smell. The Greek word “kedrus” was used to designate heavily scented woods that also kept away pests. For example, Arborvitae, Juniper and Cedar (Cedrus). Linguistic usage became blurred and the citrus fruits were left with the name. More than 4000 years ago citrus fruits such as the lemon were cultivated in China as objects of very high value which were initially reserved for the Emperor and other high-standing officials. Lemon trees were known as “golden-headed slaves” which brought riches and prestige to their owners. Alexander the Great became acquainted with the lemon, the “Golden Apple”, during his Asian campaign (334-324 B.C.). However, it was only several hundred years later that the lemon reached Europe, probably brought by the Arabs in the 10th century.
Tip: Drink warm water and lemon juice first thing each and every morning
Blackthorn blossom and birch leaf extracts enhance skin elasticity
It has even proved successful during pregnancy when it is particularly important to keep skin supple to prevent pregnancy-induced stretch marks, use for any weight loss or gain
Are you confused about what is a BB, CC or DD Cream?
BB stands for ‘Blemish Balm’ or ‘Beauty Balm’ and provides both colour and care in the one product. Before our time, plus natural and organic to boot, we’ve been offering this for years with our incredible Tinted Day Cream. The original BB Cream!
BB Creams are more than just a tinted moisturiser, they offer benefits such as helping to even out skin tone, disguising blemishes and redness, providing light coverage and protecting the skin.
FYI: CC means ‘Colour Corrector’ or ‘Complexion Corrector’ focusing on reducing redness and helping to even tone. DD means ‘Daily Defence’ which usually includes an SPF.
The warm colour of Tinted Day Cream magically suits any skin tone once applied to the skin, enhancing and giving a natural healthy glow.
Offers extra protection for normal, sensitive, dry and mature skin conditions
Uplifts a mature skin by bringing warm tones into the complexion which may have become a little pallid
Hydrates and enhances the complexion with its sun-kissed warmth
Evens the tone of the skin, an alternative to make-up, or use under make-up for a warm toned base
Formulation: Mineral pigments blend imperfections and even skin tone while Quince Seed, Apricot Kernel and Beeswax balance oil and moisture content. Anthyllis and St. John’s wort support elasticity and soothe redness
It’s my ‘go to’ product in the weekend and on holiday
We also have a unique product, Translucent Bronzing Tint which is a semi-transparent bronze to enhance skin tone. Mix with your usual Dr. Hauschka Moisturiser in the palms of hands prior to application. You control colour intensity! Translucent Bronzing Tint also partners particularly well with Clarifying Day Oil for those with an oily skin. The best option for a Combination Skin with Oily T-zone is Melissa Day Cream with Translucent Bronzing Tint.
Foundation provides our skin with colour and care. Once you have made the decision to care for your skin with Dr. Hauschka natural and organic skin care it wouldn’t make sense to continue with conventional, petrochemical make-up. ‘Set’ with Translucent Powder Compactor Translucent Powder Loose, which are formulated using real silk powder. I prefer Loose Powder and application with our beautiful Powder Brush.
Bronzing Powder is our worldwide top selling make-up product. Make-up artists love it because it’s matte.
Application Tip: Apply with a brush lightly to the face from the forehead down. Or with your fingers press out our Powder Brush into a fan shape. I do this on the left side of the face, then the right, then the centre. Automatically the colour goes where the sun would touch, cheek bones, tip of forehead, nose and chin. Easy!
Dryness and dehydration is a prime reason for premature wrinkles and lines so it’s imperative we protect our skin from this condition.
Dryness: lack of oil
Caused by ageing and the slowing down of sebum production, genetics and a drying outdoor environment.
Dehydration: lack of water
Caused by not drinking enough water and air conditioning/heating indoor environment. Air travel is extremely dehydrating.
We often see both conditions presenting in the same skin.
Quince Seed Extract helps your skin to retain moisture
So what’s the solution to winter dryness and dehydration?
Hydrating Mask is our ultimate winter skin fix, twice a week, cleanse early in the evening and apply the mask, around your eye contour too, and leave on to absorb all evening, removing with a moist, tepid cloth before bed.
Tip: If your skin is extremely dry you may also use Hydrating Mask as your ‘day cream’ for a month or until condition improves.
This blend of botanicals soothes, protects and revitalises while sealing in moisture, leaving skin feeling smooth and supple.
– Quince seed extract replenishes and helps dry skin to retain moisture
– Nourishing almond, avocado, olive and jojoba oils hydrate the outer layer of skin
– Rose wax and organic shea butter soothe and protect
Skin healers and anti-oxidants are Vitamins A, C & E – all found in this blend
Another winter skin solution
The skin healers and antioxidants are Vitamins A, C and E, and the optimum choice when topically applying these vitamins is when they come in the form of the whole plant extract, as opposed to isolated and/or synthetic chemicals.
Rosehip is a rich source of vitamin C and Wheatgerm is a rich source of vitamin E, both found in Rose Day Cream formulation. Mix with a couple of drops of Clarifying Day Oil to skin still moist from Toner. That glorious orange colour comes from Wild Carrot Extract, a rich source of provitamin A.
There you have it, a potent antioxidant and protective blend for cold weather!
Rosa Canina or Dog Rose Rose Hips in winter, a rich source of Vitamin C. Dr. Hauschka biodynamic medicinal plant gardens
Mask Treatment Tip: Firming, Moisturising & Hydrating Mask Blend For a dry and/or dehydrating skin that also needs firming:
• Cleanse early in the evening
• Apply a generous amount of Regenerating Serum including eye contour area as an ‘eye mask’ as well
• Then apply Hydrating Mask over the Serum, including eye contour area
• Leave to absorb all evening, removing with a warm, moist cloth just before bedtime
The other blend we recommend is for those that get dry, red, irritated, itchy or flaky skin in winter. You can still do the above Mask Treatment Blend, but use Soothing Mask instead of Hydrating Mask to strengthen and restore a sensitive skin. Regenerating Serum is also formulated for a sensitive skin.
Do you need to alter your day care with the Seasons?
Yes, that may well be the case. We have many customers using cooling Quince Day Cream or matte Rose Day Cream Light in the warmer months and change to more protective and warming Rose Day Cream in the cooler months. Check in with your skin, see how it’s feeling and certainly change to a more protective day care if need be.
I use Regenerating Serum and Regenerating Day Cream during the week which is spent indoors and in the weekend I use Regenerating Serum and Rose Day Cream when I’m more likely to have time outdoors. So even my weekly ritual changes due to my daily environment.
For a dry skin we also recommend Revitalising Day Cream which helps to activate sebaceous glands, even though it’s very light in texture. Some of our customers like to apply Tinted Day Cream or Rose Day Cream over Revitalising Day Cream to provide additional winter time protection.
If Regenerating Day Cream isn’t enough in the cooler seasons then you may switch to using the more rich Regenerating Neck & Décolleté Cream for your face care as well.
Winter Skin Regime in a nutshell
Everyone is unique as is their skin condition, however this regime is typically prescribed during winter.
Morning:
Cleansing Cream
Facial Toner
Regenerating Serum if it’s in your regime, to support a maturing skin
Eye Cream – Daily Hydrating, Regenerating or Eye Balm
Rose Day Cream
Foundation
Evening:
Soothing Cleansing Milk
Facial Toner
Regenerating Serum or Night Serum
Twice a week: Hydrating Mask
Top winter protective products are Lip Balm and Eye Balm
Eye Balm is a beeswax based product. You only need use the size of a piece of rice, then melt the waxes between your ring fingers and apply gently to eye contour area. Enormously protective against winter weather and skin feels as soft as silk.
Dry winter hands?
Tip: Give your hands a once a week Hydrating Mask treatment while you watch a movie! Use Hydrating Hand Cream daily, which deeply moisturises without leaving a greasy residue.
Body Oils are applied to skin still moist from shower or bath, making a water/oil emulsion directly on your skin for rapid absorption and economical use
Winter is a hibernating time according to the rhythm of nature. We can’t exactly hibernate, but we can sustain ourselves with warming Moor Lavender Calming Body Oil which is both warming and protective, or my personal favourite, Blackthorn Toning Body Oil which I find warming and strengthening. It also helps me focus when I’m wearing it, getting through one job at a time and tick them off. Blackthorn Elixir has been used for years as a strengthening tonic to assist in the treatment of fatigue or convalescence and for those who are feeling stressed or drained of vitality.
Sometimes you just need a little ‘me time’ and a treat. A warming foot bath, even if it’s only for 10 minutes quiet time, that can still do wonders. Perhaps while you are having your Mask treatment. Choose your Dr. Hauschka Bath Essence aromatics for the benefits you are looking for:
Moor Lavender Calming Bath Essence: to help you sleep better and to soothe and calm the nervous system.
Lemon Lemongrass Vitalising Bath Essence: has positive, cheerful and uplifting qualities and supports clear thinking.
Almond Soothing Bath Essence: quiets the mind, instilling feelings of warmth and comfort. The complex fragrance with almond and orange essential oils is uplifting to the spirit. Especially soothing to dry, sensitive and itchy skin.
Sage Purifying Bath Essence: is known for its refreshing, perspiration-regulating action. It provides a refreshing foot bath after sport and exercise and tired feet are wonderfully refreshed. In the cold months of the year it helps to prevent poor circulation and chills.
Rose Nurturing Bath Essence: with precious rose extracts, envelops the senses in the soft, luxurious scent of dozens of blossoming roses. Feel the exotic care and protection of the queen of all flowers as you bathe in the velvety warmth of this beautiful bath essence.
Deodorants
Make the change to natural and organic Deodorant Sage Mint or Roseif you haven’t already.
Enjoy winter, it’s time for good books, something creative or crafty, hearty cooking, share a meal with friends, watch a movie and give yourself the best natural and organic skin care to protect from the elements, both indoors and out, remembering to use body products that do so much more than just moisturise your skin, and keep cosy.

Why did we produce milky formulations for Moor Lavender Calming Bath Essence and Rose Nurturing Bath Essence?
Not that many years ago it was uncommon to see Mum’s in the workplace and the pace of life was much slower, however, today’s lifestyle for the majority of women is one of juggling children and work as well as other commitments, and amongst it all attempting to find balance. Our milky formulations are much more protective which provides enhanced support for lifestyle issues today and in the future.
Dispersing
The milky formulations do not disperse as easily in lukewarm water. Pour milky formula Bath Essence into your basin or bath, add hot water to aid dispersion, then add cold water.
Please note: Both Rose Nurturing Bath Essence and Moor Lavender Calming Bath Essence are ideal for kid’s bath time as well.

Dr. Hauschka Toners are the hidden gems of our skin care regime. Yes, we know they’re often skipped for one reason or another, and they may not be considered as imperative in your morning and evening skin care rituals, however, Dr. Hauschka Toners are not like conventional toners that are used with cotton pads to remove last traces of make-up and cleanser. Just close your eyes and mist directly onto your skin.
8 Reasons Why You Should Be Including Dr. Hauschka Toner In Your Skin Care Rituals
1) Our Toners are packed with botanical actives to benefit your skin, to regulate and keep it healthy, to refine and calm your skin.
2) Toner is the first step to hydrating your skin, helping your skin to maintain elasticity.
3) Toner aids absorption of your Moisturiser in the morning.
4) Toner is also your night-time treatment product and aids absorption of Night Serum or Regenerating Serum.
5) Toner ensures our highly concentrated Moisturisers (or Day Oil) are applied evenly and economically. Our Day Care products are specifically formulated to be applied to skin that’s still moist from Toner.
6) Dr. Hauschka Toners are not drying to the skin.*
7) Toner may be used to set your make-up and give a more natural look.
8) Toner may be used to hydrate the skin at any time during the day and is also useful to hydrate in flight. We all keep a bottle in our desk drawer!
Note: Dr. Hauschka Toner is a perfect after shave product as well!
Tip: In the heat of summer we pop our Toners in the fridge for a super cooling and refreshing spritz when needed.
Dr. Hauschka Toners
Anthyllis harvest
Facial Toner contains Anthyllis, one of our key ingredients, which guides all skin conditions to a state of balance and strength. Witch Hazel bark and leaf extract for astringent capabilities, helping to refine the complexion.
Echinacea harvest
Clarifying Toner contains Daisy and Nasturtium to minimise the appearance of blackheads and blemishes, visibly refine pores and reduce excessive oiliness. Anthyllis to balance your skin for a calm, even appearance. Calendula is healing, Echinacea has anti-bacterial properties, Daisy is anti-inflammatory, Horse Chestnut bark extract strengthens the walls of the blood vessels and promotes the circulation and also removes excess fluid from the tissues and makes them firmer and Witch Hazel for it’s astringent benefits.
Do you have dry/maturing skin?
Dryness and dehydration usually are found hand in hand, Toner takes care of hydration and it also helps your Regenerating products, which are specific in supporting a maturing skin, absorb into the skin where they do their work to firm and tone.
Do you have sensitive skin?
Toner hydrates, calms and strengthens your skin. In Clarifying Toner, Daisy has anti-inflammatory and Echinacea has anti-bacterial properties. Sometimes a sensitive, flakey skin has had it’s protective abilities compromised.
*FAQ – Why do some Dr. Hauschka Skin Care products contain alcohol?
Herbs and flowers are the core of Dr. Hauschka Skin Care preparations and many are extracted in a mixture of alcohol and water. Many plants are extracted in alcohol because it extracts the widest variety of plant constituents (the plant’s active ingredients). Alcohol also serves as a natural emulsifier, preservative and carrier, and helps ingredients penetrate the skin.
Our alcohol is not drying to the skin when part of a carefully formulated Dr. Hauschka composition, it’s derived from a fermentation and distillation process from organically grown wheat and is gluten-free. It helps eliminate the need for synthetic preservatives, tones and firms the skin. The amounts of alcohol used in the Dr.Hauschka products are regulated to prevent dryness occurring. Isopropyl alcohol is never used in Dr.Hauschka Skin Care products.
And finally…
Using Toner prior to Cream Mask application aids absorption
Once or twice a week you need the extra benefits that a Cream Mask endows, best to aid absorption of these complex formulations with Toner prior to application. Revitalising Mask is our top seller, no doubt because it benefits all skin conditions, refining and rejuvenating, Hydrating Mask for its super plumping hydrating and deeply moisturising ability, Firming Mask to support a maturing skin with warming Rose in all its forms and Soothing Mask which is a formula with an abundance of botanical ingredients, for strengthening a sensitive, hypersensitive, red, irritated or flaky skin. Soothing Mask has also proved helpful in managing a rosacea skin condition, used as a day cream in this instance.
IMPORTANT – How to use our Moisturisers Our moisturisers are highly concentrated, they’re formulated specifically to be applied as follows:
1) Apply in the morning after Cleansing Cream and Toner
2) Place approximately a large pea size of Day Cream in the palm of your hand (or in the case of Clarifying Day Oil 2-3 drops)
3) Warm to melt the waxes and oils between the palms of both hands
4) Apply to skin that’s still moist from Toner, to ensure even and economical application, using the palms of both hands
5) Apply from centre of the face outwards in direction of lymph flow
In the evening after Cleansing Milk and Toning no moisturiser is needed as heavy, occlusive night creams disrupt the elimination and regeneration functions of the skin overnight.

Why is there no Dr.Hauschka night cream?
The Dr. Hauschka oil-free night care regime supports the nocturnal metabolism of the skin because this is the time when this activity is at its maximum. Instead of burdening the natural elimination processes with oily skin care products, the Dr. Hauschka night care programme consists of products containing stimulating and regenerating plant essences. These allow the skin to breathe freely and overcome any weaknesses and imbalances. Healthy and beautiful skin is the result.
Dr. Hauschka Treatment products for the night are:
– Basic Night Care: Facial Toner or Clarifying Toner and Regenerating Serum (if appropriate to support a maturing skin)
– OR Intensive 30 night treatment: Renewing Night Conditioner or Sensitive Care Conditioner or one of our Intensive Treatments for specific skin concerns
Rule of thumb to keep it simple:
Use Conditioner in Spring (September) and Autumn (March)
Use Intensive Treatment in Summer (December) and Winter (June)
In between use Toner (and Regenerating Serum if appropriate)
However, ideally Conditioners should be used once per year per 10 years of life, e.g. if 30 years old do 3 Conditioner 28 day treatments per year.
Autumn and winter have many positive sides – but cold, wet weather often takes the fun out of these seasons. Spending time outdoors can quickly lead to a chill. Unpleasant dampness can penetrate through clothing all the way to the skin. This is the right moment for Spruce Warming Bath Essence from Dr. Hauschka. Slipping into the bath warms the body and soothes the spirit, imparting a sense of well-being.
During the wet and cold seasons of the year, a warm bath sometimes works wonders. After coming in from the cold, you can finally relax and forget the rest of the world for a few moments. Spruce essential oil promotes circulation to the skin and joins with the pleasant heat of the bath water to provide the entire body with intensive and lasting warmth, while jojoba oil gently moisturises the skin. The aromatic bath soothes and relaxes without making you feel tired. The resinous fragrance of spruce needles lets you breathe freely again – providing relief at the time of year when coughs and colds abound.
Tip: Dr. Hauschka Spruce Warming Bath Essence can also be used outside the bath tub. Place a few drops of Spruce Bath Essence in a small bowl of warm water – the fragrance will spread through the entire room and create a special ambience in the wintertime.
Organic castor oil from cultivation project in India
Spruce Warming Bath Essence and other Dr. Hauschka products are based on cold-pressed castor oil produced in India. WALA (Dr. Hauschka) has initiated a pioneering agricultural project that supports local people. Only a few years ago, this raw material was not available on the world market in organic quality; as a result, WALA began developing its own solution. The entire castor-bean cultivation and processing chain in India is now organically certified. The seeds are cold pressed, filtered and filled into new, food-safe containers. The premium castor oil is then shipped to Germany by sea. Thanks to the company’s partnership with the Indian suppliers, today WALA’s demand for certified organic castor oil can be completely met.

Dr. Hauschka has a NEW enhanced packaging design, our gold tone is now platinum and there have been some revised product names to assist with self select. The coloured bands depicting whether the product is in the Face Care category or Body Care category, for instance, remain virtually the same.
The packaging was presented for the first time at Vivaness, the world’s largest trade fair for natural and organic skin care and make-up, Germany in early February 2014.
We think the elegant design reflects our authenticity, the premium quality of our natural and organic ingredients, our medical knowledge and scientific origins.
NEW Face Care packaging begins in March 2014 and Body Care in September 2014. Our Make-up range packaging will remain unchanged.
The first products you will see with the new packaging will be:
Regenerating Serum & Regenerating Day Cream
The concept behind Dr. Hauschka Skin Care dates back more than 50 years. In 1962 the cosmetologist Elisabeth Sigmund, who was living in Sweden at the time, set out her ideas for a unique skin care approach on paper for Dr. Rudolf Hauschka, the founder of WALA Anthroposophical Homeopathic Medicines. Her experience had shown her that the skin possesses its own powers of nurture and regeneration – and she believed that skin care products should support these powers. Dr. Hauschka products stimulate and strengthen the skin’s innate functions. This is made possible by the product’s composition of natural ingredients, which was developed in co-operation with physicians and pharmacists who contributed their knowledge of medicinal plants gained from their work with WALA Medicines. Dr. Hauschka Skin Care deliberately avoids the use of isolated active substances; it is the overall product composition that stimulates the skin’s natural functions. Elisabeth Sigmund also recognised that the skin cannot be classified in rigid categories. Rather, on different days and in different locations, at different times of the year and at different phases of life, it can have different needs that must be addressed by the skin care concept. For this reason Dr. Hauschka speaks of skin conditions, which can occur and then disappear again. Everyone is disposed to a certain skin condition, but it does not remain unchanged at all times. For example, an individual may almost always use Quince Day Cream, but then switch to Rose Day Cream in winter when the skin requires a more protective moisturiser. For this reason the new Dr. Hauschka packaging features descriptions of the product characteristics such as the following, found on the Cleansing Cream packaging: Refines, revitalises and deeply cleanses. The power of the night is now apparent at a glance. By studying scientific experiments, Elisabeth Sigmund recognised – and later confirmed by testing the findings herself – that the skin has different care needs during the day and at night. During the day, the skin needs moisturising waxes and oils to protect it from the elements. During the night, however, the skin must be able to ‘breathe’. This is because while we sleep, cells divide and metabolic wastes are eliminated – the skin regenerates. The skin does this best when heavy, occlusive night creams do not impede this natural function. This is why Dr. Hauschka deliberately does not offer moisturisers containing waxes and oils for use at night, but instead supports the skin’s natural night time activities with stimulating and fortifying botanical essences in aqueous solutions. For this reason it was very important to us to clearly label the products as being for day or night care. We want our customers to be able to recognise at a glance that our various moisturisers are only for daytime use. A wonderful product for the night, for example, is our ampoule treatment, which, depending on which decade of life the customer is in, is used as a special intensive treatment several times a year, applied for 28-30 nights (a skin cell cycle) following cleansing. This application is clearer with the new name, Renewing Night Conditioner.
