Armin Rausch: From software developer to sought-after male model

June 05 2024 – Dr. Luise Berger

Armin Rausch, known for his radiant smile and authentic manner, has made a name for himself this year as a sought-after male model. Originally from Kempten in Allgäu, Armin brings with him an unusually diverse range of talents and interests. In addition to his career in modeling in a well-known model casting show, Armin is also passionate about football, chess and acting and has a bachelor's degree in business information technology.

The fashion world has not only found a new face in Armin, but also a role model when it comes to health and skin care. In the age of digitalization, where blue light and UV radiation are omnipresent, Armin has recognized how important it is to protect and care for the skin. In our exclusive shoot for DOC.BERGER I EFFECT with Armin Rausch, he shared his experiences and insights into the world of skin care.

Armin, you're probably spending a lot of time on your phone and have a lot of screen time. Did you actually know that UV light and blue light are very harmful to the skin?

That's right. Yes, Luise has already told me that. Originally, before I started modeling here, I trained to be a software developer, then completed my high school diploma and subsequently studied business informatics, where you're constantly in front of the screen and exposed to all the blue light. Besides, I come from Allgäu and have always been outdoors a lot - I played soccer for 20 years, love table tennis, and occasionally meet friends for a basketball game - so besides the blue light, I was also exposed to harmful sunlight. That made me realize once again that I need to take better care of my skin, I also need to use more sunscreen. There are some great creams for that, and fortunately, I now have the Anti-Pollution Day Cream that Luise gave me, which protects me against the blue light from my phone, but also against sunlight during the day. So, I'm very well prepared now.

Armin, what do you think about the fact that men nowadays also use skincare products and pay much more attention to their skin? What is your stance on this?

Well, I have to honestly say that I think it's super important nowadays. To be honest, I paid too little attention to it at the beginning, but that also catches up with you as you age. I am not the youngest anymore either.

How old are you?

Already 27. I believe one should start early so that preventive measures can be taken for the skin. Not everything can be repaired later in the future. I am therefore even more pleased to be the new face of DOC.BERGER I EFFECT, as it also reflects the modern approach that skincare is universal and all genders and age groups should be equally included.

Armin also emphasizes that skincare is not just a matter of appearance, but true beauty comes from within and that a healthy lifestyle is essential to feel good both physically and mentally.

What do you do for your inner and outer beauty? Do you go to the gym, eat healthily? What are your top 3?

I have always been very active in sports. Sports are very important to me because I believe it makes you feel good in your body. When you've pushed yourself, you have an inner confirmation - I did something for myself and I followed through. And what I also think is very important, I believe, is to cut out soft drinks. I drink almost only water, was never a big coffee drinker or anything like that. I have always tried to stay as clean as possible and drink only water. My diet, as a model, is also balanced, of course. However, I can't say too much about that, unfortunately, because I also love sweets. Sugar is not that good, we all know that, I'm a bit guilty of that, but as always: Balance is key.
