How often should I apply the lavera hand creams?
That depends on your individual skin type and the current season. One thing is certain: a hand cream is good for every skin type because the hands have only a small number of sebaceous glands. This means that stressed and strained hands cannot be properly protected. So, to keep your hands naturally beautiful, a little help from the outside is needed!
Dry skin types lack both moisture and fat. This condition can quickly worsen on the hands, as they are exposed to a variety of external influences every day. For dry skin, we recommend a short cream ritual with your lavera hand cream after every hand wash (and in between if needed). Don’t forget your cuticles – they can crack quickly with dry skin.
Mature skin also often tends to dryness. This is because sebum and sweat production decrease significantly with age, and the skin also becomes thinner. To ensure the hands receive enough care even as you age, they should be protected several times a day with a rich hand cream.
Normal skin often withstands external influences very well because the acid mantle is intact. But this skin type also appreciates a light, fast-absorbing moisturizer, which should be part of your care routine once a day.
Especially in the cold season, skin protection should be maintained with the help of naturally caring hand creams. In winter, the skin is drier due to the cold air than in the warm months. Heating air also has a huge impact: it can draw valuable moisture from your skin. To prevent rough skin and small cracks, you should apply a rich hand cream several times a day. But even on warm summer days, your hands will appreciate a daily hand care routine. Sunlight, saltwater, and dry air can also dry out and stress your skin. For naturally beautiful hands in summer, light formulas that absorb quickly and provide valuable moisture are ideal.

Why do brown spots appear on the surface of the solid lavera Happy Freshness shower care?
Natural raw materials can change their color over time. We often see this process in nature, for example in flowers or different types of wood. Natural ingredients in our products are no exception. The brown spots on our solid products are indeed a natural color change. However, this has no impact on the quality and performance of the product – these remain unchanged.

What is the difference between a solid shampoo and a hair soap?
Solid shampoos and hair soaps differ in their respective pH values. The foam of the solid lavera shampoos has a skin-neutral pH value, which is slightly acidic. This causes the hair cuticles to close, the hair surface becomes smooth, and the hair gains wonderful softness and shine.
The foam of a hair soap, on the other hand, has a basic pH value. As a result, the hair cuticles open, making the hair appear dull and lackluster. As a remedy, it is often recommended to use an "acid rinse" – made from citric acid or apple cider vinegar – in addition to the hair soap. The acidic pH of the rinse closes the hair cuticles again, giving the hair softness and shine. However, this requires using two products, which unnecessarily costs time and resources. Therefore, we recommend using a solid shampoo. We do not carry hair soap in our range.

How do I care for my skin with neurodermatitis?
How do I care for my skin with neurodermatitis?
People with neurodermatitis often have dry, red, and itchy skin with a reduced protective function. Especially in autumn and winter, cold temperatures and dry heating air can additionally stress this skin type. The key here is: moisturizing! You should nourish your skin with a rich, re-fatting care product in the morning and evening. If needed, you can also reapply during the day.
Gentle ingredients
The rule for ingredients is: "Less is more!" We recommend avoiding fragrance, colorants, and synthetic preservatives in your daily skincare. This helps prevent unnecessary irritation and protects your already compromised skin barrier. Look for products with few but effective care ingredients that effectively support your skin barrier.
lavera relies on re-fatting ingredients like organic evening primrose oil in the medical skincare series Neutral, which provide rich care. Special lotions and creams supply your skin with fat and soothing moisture. Selected lavera Neutral products contain valuable lecithins, which are often missing in skin with neurodermatitis and support your natural skin barrier. Microsilver can also offer natural skin protection for neurodermatitis. It forms an antimicrobial protective film on stressed skin areas, helping to prevent inflammation.
Cleaning? Better with a gentle touch!
For your daily skin cleansing, it’s best to use soap-free, pH-neutral products without fragrances. If your skin barrier is disturbed or damaged, you should neither cleanse your skin too often nor too intensively. Avoid vigorous rubbing, excessive pressure, and pulling when drying your face, as this can further irritate your skin and damage the natural skin barrier. Especially in the evening, take plenty of time for care. Overnight, the valuable ingredients of the Neutral facial care products have plenty of time to absorb into your skin. A gentle, relaxing facial massage can stimulate blood circulation.
Our tip: On our advice page for dry, sensitive skin, we reveal what else you should pay attention to in your daily beauty routine.

Are there specific lavera hair care products for every hair need?
Yes, lavera offers a perfectly tailored care solution for different hair care needs based on hair type.
For damaged, dry hair, for example, good combability, plenty of care, a beautiful shine, and repair of damaged hair are top priorities. Fine hair, on the other hand, needs a strengthening and building care that does not weigh the hair down unnecessarily. For colored hair, a protective care formula for natural color protection is important. For sensitive scalp, care products with soothing and calming ingredients are especially recommended.
Our tip: In our Advice section, you can read about what else matters when caring for your individual hair type.
Which lavera body lotion is right for my skin type?
Applying lotion feels good and relaxes the body and mind in a small moment of well-being. If you tailor your body lotion to your individual skin needs, you can get even more out of your daily body care routine. Skin type-specific body care with different levels of care is important to keep your skin balanced and protected despite external influences.
Normal Skin
Normal skin appreciates a light body lotion for daily, quick care. Here, sufficient moisture supply is the most important care goal. Express lotions that absorb particularly quickly care for your skin and provide it with valuable moisture for many hours. The fast-absorbing lavera body lotion formulas with subtle care scents are especially gentle and provide your skin with valuable moisture.
Mature Skin
Mature skin benefits from firming body care, for example with natural coenzyme Q10 or valuable plant extracts from organic cranberry and organic argan oil.
Our tip: Even normal skin types can suffer from dry patches on knees, elbows, or hands, especially in the cold season. In this case, we recommend using a rich all-round cream in addition to your favorite body lotion, applied to specific areas. By the way, it also keeps your delicate lip skin soft and smooth!
Dry Skin
Does your skin feel very dry and tight after showering or bathing? Then you should choose rich body milks and creams, as dry and demanding skin needs significantly more care than normal skin. We recommend rich formulas that provide your arms, legs, and other body parts with moisture and fat. When choosing, look for plant-based moisturizers like organic aloe vera and nourishing oils such as organic almond oil, organic argan oil, or organic sunflower oil. In combination with other ingredients, they can protect your skin from drying out.
Sensitive Skin
If you tend to allergies or very sensitive skin, it’s best to use pH- and fragrance-neutral body care. Valuable and skin-soothing organic plant ingredients can help stabilize your skin’s protective barrier when it’s out of balance.
Our tip: If you suffer from particularly dry skin, you can safely apply your body cream twice a day.

The formulas of the lavera Natural & Strong Deo Creme, the basis sensitiv Natural & Sensitive Deo Creme, the basis sensitiv Deo Roll-On, and the Neutral Deo Roll-On are alcohol-free and, thanks to their good compatibility, are well suited for sensitive underarm skin.
Do Natural Beauty deodorants need to be applied more frequently than conventional deodorants?
No, that is not necessary, as there is no difference in effectiveness. It mainly depends on your activity: during sports or in more stressful situations, your body sweats more, and you naturally reach for deodorant more often. In this case, you spray or roll on again to be on the safe side.
Only purely natural fragrances are used in Natural Beauty deodorants. With antiseptic, skin-soothing, and skin-balancing ingredients, lavera Natural Beauty deodorants counteract odor formation without impairing your body's natural sweating function. How often you should apply your lavera deodorant always depends on the situation you are in.
Don't forget: Your sensitive underarm skin also appreciates a bit of care. In our Advice section, we share helpful beauty tips for naturally beautiful underarms.
