5 Questions for Boris Entrup
5 Questions for Boris Entrup
What should I know before starting a skincare routine?
It’s important to begin by understanding what you want to achieve with your skincare – what are your goals and expectations? The first step should always be a professional consultation, such as our free skin analysis, to identify your skin’s individual needs. Knowing your skin type and what results you’re aiming for is essential to get the most out of your routine.
One thing is clear: one product alone won’t cut it. A complete skincare routine includes cleansing, day and night creams, exfoliants, and serums. All products should be carefully coordinated to create synergies between active ingredients and avoid negative interactions. Certain actives can cancel each other out or overload the skin when used in combination. That’s why a well-designed, harmonized system tailored to your skin type – like the DOC.BERGER | EFFECT Medical Skincare range – is the key to achieving healthy, radiant skin.
As an expert, what do you value most in skincare?
For me, great skincare must be truly unique. DOC.BERGER | EFFECT stands for premium active ingredients that are brilliantly combined and based on a skin-identical lipid structure – a delivery system that ensures actives reach exactly where they’re needed. Clean Beauty is also a huge priority for me, which is why I fully stand behind DOC.BERGER | EFFECT.
Is it normal to feel a tingling or burning sensation when using skincare?
Yes – you’re allowed to feel your actives! Especially in Medical Skincare, ingredients like vitamin C, retinol, or salicylic acid are highly potent. A slight tingling, tightening, or prickling sensation is completely normal – it’s a sign that your skin is being activated. This activation is essential because it stimulates your skin to start producing more collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid on its own. And ultimately, we all want the maximum effect, don’t we?
You were Head of Makeup at Germany’s Next Topmodel and saw it all behind the scenes. What’s the secret to top models’ glowing skin?
It’s simple: every top model uses serums – and they layer them. The real skincare magic happens at night. As soon as they’re on a plane or arrive at the hotel, they start their serum layering routine after cleansing: hyaluronic acid, collagen, vitamin C, retinol – depending on what their skin needs and the desired effect. Face masks, especially eye masks, are essential and always on hand in their purses.
Also, top models are practically married to their water bottles – drinking 2 to 4 liters a day. Nutrition is just as important – rich in antioxidants, healthy, and timed right. And of course, makeup plays a role too. Having the right makeup artist makes all the difference in enhancing natural beauty – but that only works if the skin is properly cleansed and cared for, ideally with high-performance skincare like DOC.BERGER | EFFECT.
What are five common skincare mistakes people should avoid?
- Neglecting daily sun protection: UV rays are one of the main causes of premature aging and skin damage. Many underestimate the importance of daily sunscreen – even on cloudy days or in winter. Consistent sun protection is essential to shield the skin and prevent skin cancer.
- Inconsistent routines: Skincare needs consistency. Using products now and then isn’t enough. A daily routine tailored to your skin’s unique needs is key to lasting results.
- Skipping eye care: The skin around the eyes is especially thin and sensitive. It’s often neglected, which leads to early wrinkles and a tired appearance. A dedicated eye care product helps target these signs.
- Popping pimples: As tempting as it may be, avoid squeezing blemishes. It can cause inflammation, scarring, and worsen your skin’s condition. Instead, use targeted treatments like the 15% Fruit Acid Peeling, Retinol Serum, or the Purifying Night Cream.
- Sleeping with makeup on: Leaving makeup on overnight clogs pores and accelerates skin aging. Proper cleansing every morning and evening is essential to let the skin breathe and prepare it to absorb actives.
