Discover 4 New Ways to Take Care of Yourself - Kneipp® 130th Anniversary

Hi There..... Are you a fan of wellness and body care products? Did you know Kneipp is celebrating their 130th anniversary?

They have a lot of wellness and body care products. If you like to take care of yourself, the Kneipp products are unquestionably something for you. A few days ago they sent me a box to pamper myself. 😊

Cool, right? Who doesn’t like gifts like those? I bet you are as curious as me to find out what was inside this goodies box. To my surprise, they also added grow confetti (some kind of discs that you have to bury in soil, and a plant will grow out of it) and fragrance sticks. 😮

Those fragrance sticks bring back fond memories of childhood holidays with our aunt, uncle, and niece. My dad and his youngest sister were pretty close, and our trips to Wales together were always a lot of fun. The holiday I am talking about was to the Woodhouse Grange when I was about age 12 or 13. I Could have been younger or older, what's in a number. 😜

Our niece had brought some Patchouli fragrance sticks with her. I didn’t love the scent. My niece thought they were so cool and they were quite popular among youngsters, so I did not tell her it was unpleasant to me. 😬

Sadly, she passed away at 51 because of cancer. Way too young. That’s why the scent of Patchouli now has an emotional connection to me. It brings back sweet memories of a past long gone. Ah, I am talking of times when a lot of you weren’t even born. Surely you must have noticed my best friend, age wrinkles. 😁

Ok, time to tell you some more about Kneipp® and the box of body care products I received from them. 😍

A brief history of Kneipp®

It's Kneipp®'s birthday. This year the natural pampering and feel-good brand exist for 130 years. In 1891, the man who started it all, Sebastian Kneipp, founded the brand himself. On the 17th of May, it was also exactly 200 years ago this German pastor, benefactor, and health pioneer was born. So it's a double anniversary.

Sebastian Kneipp is well known in Germany for his effective water cures that are still used in many spas. He has selflessly helped hundreds of people to solve their health problems. He has also written various books such as 'Meine Wasserkur' (my water cure) with tips that are still current and effective (e.g. the cold showers). 2021 is a great year to celebrate his achievements and the fact that we can still enjoy his products.

Kneipp® worldwide

Today, Kneipp sells products in 18 countries worldwide. Also in Japan and America. What started 130 years ago in a pharmacy in Würzburg has grown into a global brand with around 650 employees. 450 of these work in Germany where the products are developed and manufactured with great care for skin compatibility, quality, and durability. The mission of all Kneipp® employees is to offer everyone relaxing, pampering moments every day that contribute to a healthy and happy life.

Kneipp® philosophy

Besides the healing power of water and the action of medicinal herbs, Sebastian Kneipp has been intensively involved in other factors related to human health. The result: his 5-element philosophy. He combines the five elements: water, plants, exercise, nutrition, and balance into a holistic approach to healthy living. This philosophy is still the base for the Kneipp® brand and the development of its products. According to the Kneipp® philosophy, an interplay of all five elements (water, plants, exercise, nutrition, and balance) is essential to feel good and staying healthy and happy.

The Kneipp® philosophy is more relevant today than ever before. It is based on basic principles: living in harmony with nature, sustainability, and mindfulness. For more information, you can visit the website. All elements are explained in detail here. You will also find several water cures from Sebastian Kneipp explained on our website under the heading "magazine", such as the Cold arm bath, which is also called the 'Kneipp espresso'.

Nature's expert

Did you know that Kneipp® has its own product development department and that all its products are developed in close collaboration with renowned natural scientists and independent dermatologists? The products mainly consist of high-quality natural oils and are extensively tested for optimal efficacy, quality, and skin compatibility.

Gift Set Face Sheet masks

Kneipp® Face Sheet Mask Favorites – This gift box contains the 3 new Sheet masks from Kneipp®. Discover these natural face masks with active vegetable oils that have a positive effect on your skin and your mood. This gift set contains a Sheet mask Hydro Kick, a Sheet mask Detox Care, and a Sheet mask Chill Out.

The sheets are easy to apply to the face and infused with an intensively caring natural serum. They contain no preservatives and microplastics and have a scientifically proven effect. In addition, they make the sheets of 100% natural viscose, which makes them biodegradable.

How to use them?

First, cleanse your face, unfold the mask and apply it to your face. Leave it on for about 10 to 15 minutes before removing it. Then you massage the remaining lotion in or remove it with a cotton pad. I gently peeled it off and massaged it in. Since there was enough product, I applied some to my neck as well. 

My opinion?

It smells very fresh. After applying it, my skin felt completely refreshed, and it felt nice and soft too. I still have to try the Detox Care and the Chill out masks, but am looking forward to it. 😃

Inspired by nature

Modern packaging for every interior

These Kneipp® Fragrance Sticks have a modern and minimalist design and use natural materials so that they fit into any interior. A round glass bottle with a purist wooden holder for the sticks. The labels on the glass bottle are easily removable.

How to use them?

It's super easy. You put the number of sticks in the bottle that you like. The bigger the room or the intenser the scent you desire, the more sticks you will need.

My opinion?

I didn't dislike the scent at all and I think it's perfect that you can choose the intensity by putting more or fewer sticks in the bottle. It's a lot safer than the ones we used when I was young because you don't have to put these on fire. Still, beware not to let small children have access to it. 😊

Bath Foam Soft Skin - Almond Blossom

Take care of yourself and your skin with something special: Kneipp® Bath Foam Soft Skin. A bath with nourishing almond oil protects your skin from drying out and leaves the skin feeling soft and supple. The wonderful scent and the bubble bath guarantee a relaxed "feel good" experience.

My opinion?

The only thing I can say about it is that the content of the bottle smells nice. We don't have a bathtub, but I am certain my daughter will gladly accept it. 😏

Moisturizing 24H cream

The nourishing thirst quencher for you and your skin: Kneipp® moisturizing 24h cream with hydro-activating licorice root extract gives your dehydrated skin an extra portion of care and long-lasting hydration thanks to the activation of the skin's own process, which stimulates the production of hyaluronic acid: for an optimal moisture balance during all day. The light, non-greasy texture leaves your skin feeling fresh while the aquatic scent refreshes not only your skin but also your senses.

How to use it?

Apply morning and evening to your cleansed face, neck, and cleavage. Massage in gently and enjoy the pure scent of this hydration booster! Also suitable as basic care under your daily makeup.

My opinion?

The scent of this body care product is very nice and not too powerful. My skin feels velvety soft after applying the cream. I love the pump system, which makes it easier to get the right amount of cream. It also spreads easily so you only need a little. 😎
