Klarskin hit the German market exactly 5 years ago. I started working on building the company when I was 27 years old after struggling with bad skin for a few years. It has been one of the greatest learning experiences of my life. Solo founding a company is no joke but it turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made.
Through raising money, launching with some of the world’s biggest retailers, building an e-commerce brand from scratch, packing boxes, expanding, scaling, passing the company on to new owners, and speaking to thousands of customers going through the same issues with their skin…here’s a few things I have learnt about problematic skin that might help you 〰️
• Mental health actually really does matter. Less worry and stressed makes a difference to how you look.
• Supplements and skincare can’t replace a healthy diet, regular exercise and 8-9 hours of sleep a night. They can however massively optimise how you look and feel, but they should not be used as a replacement to those things.
• Money helps when it comes to health and good skin, and if you don’t have a huge budget please do not think you are doing something wrong. Going private to see a doctor or dentist, getting professional facials, going to a gym, stem room, sauna, getting massages, buying organic high quality food, using good ingredients, sleeping on a good mattress and pillows, affording all the red light, tools, extra stuff - you have no idea how much some people spend to look ‘healthy’.
• Knowledge is power. This kind of goes with the above point but being able to afford blood tests, stool tests, any testing to help you determine what might be causing a breakout is huge when it comes to skin and body health long term. Knowing how and what to eat for your body, being able to track and optimise your health makes a difference.
• And finally, happiness does actually matter. Being fulfilled and satisfied as a person shows. Doing something you love and being surrounded by people who want the best for you every single day has a huge impact on your skin and health.
I hope that helps, and here is me with my all time favourite product that helped change my skin 5 years ago ✨
