Are you looking for practical information about cosmetics? Do you want to learn something new? There are an incredible number of options and ways to use what and how. But who knows?
Venture into the vast world of cosmetics with ESSENS. We have decided to prepare the ESSENS Beauty Diary for you - a series of articles that offers practical information, advice and tips as well as various ways to use skin and body cosmetics. In this ongoing series, we will always gradually address specific topics.
ESSENS has declared 2026 the Year of Beauty. It celebrates the unique energy, that each of us radiates. Beauty comes from a balance of inner peace and external conscious body care,, thanks to all of this, everyone deserves support and to feel beautiful in all periods of life. . That is why we are bringing a Beauty Diary, which is not just about beauty and cosmetics.
Become part of ESSENS and explore a world full of glow, health and kind self-care.
The history of cosmetic rituals and products is very rich. Whether it was the famous Cleopatra, who enjoyed baths with donkey milk and honey and used cosmetics as protection from the sun. Or it was the Middle Ages, when people covered up strong odours with cosmetics and heavy powders. Or the 70s full of curling iron hairstyles and the first solariums. And today in 2026, science can repair skin at the cellular level..
The history and present of cosmetics is fascinating. This field combines artistic feeling, scientific research, the psychological side and considerable business interest. But it must be remembered that this is not about vanity. Cosmetics is about deeper self-care, health, celebration of uniqueness and healthy self-confidence.
Did you know that the word cosmetics comes from the Greek words "kosmetike" - the art of beautifying and "kosmeo" - I decorate?
Basic division:
At the beginning, it is good to know what your skin type is. Then you can choose the right way to take care of yourself. Thanks to this, your skin will then thrive and unpleasant feelings will be a thing of the past.
Yes. Skin type is added to people`s genetic cocktail from the beginning, but it can change throughout life.The main factors influencing such changes are hormones(puberty, pregnancy, menopause or stopping contraception). Each such reversal can be temporary or permanent.
Main skin types:
When touched, the surface feels dry, rougher, flakes form, sometimes a feeling of tension. The skin reacts to weather fluctuations or poorly chosen cosmetics. Dry skin lacks hydration and protective lipids.
Anyone who struggles with oily skin knows that there is a higher production of sebum. The skin becomes more shiny and more prone to imperfections such as acne and pimples. The pores are enlarged and visible.
Combination skin can suffer from imbalance. There are noticeably oilier areas, especially in the T-zone area (oily forehead, nose and chin) and dry areas and scales on the cheeks or sides of the nose.
It is a win, but even here, appropriate care is needed for balance and long-lasting fresh and glowing skin.
It is a condition that every skin type naturally reaches. Due to the loss of collagen and elastin, the skin gradually loses its firmness over time. The skin appears thinner and wrinkles are more visible.
It reacts intensely to changes in weather, stress and some cosmetic ingredients. This also includes redness of the skin. Sensitive skin may experience tingling sensations and increased sensitivity to perfume.
This is a temporary situation that is not written into the genetic code. The skin is more prone to acne, excessive sebum production clogs pores and causes more frequent skin inflammation. It affects oily skin the most, but also combination skin.
It is a daily ritual, where in a few steps we cleanse the skin properly in the morning and evening and provide a caring treatment with suitable products. The ideal products need to be chosen according to your skin type. For each skin type, we will bring inspiration for the right skin care routine in each part. And as a bonus, such a daily ritual can also become a pleasant psychological cleansing.
We always start by removing makeup and only then continue with cleansing the skin.

Products:

Each ingredient has its own properties and, when used correctly, can work wonders for the skin. But how to use them correctly? What skin type is best suited? We know that they provide the skin with, for example, hydration, rejuvenation, brightening, mattifying… And all this interesting information deserves the space of an entire section.
Body cosmeticslike facial cosmetics, offer many options and ways to, take care of your body.
