What is professional skincare?
Professional skincare distinguishes itself through higher concentrations of active ingredients, scientifically proven formulations, and clinically tested results. Brands like Comfort Zone, ASAP, Jan Marini, and Casmara are developed for use in institutes, but more and more products are also suitable for home use.
Did you know? Many products that used to be only available through salons are now directly accessible to consumers. Shopjemooi.nl offers the same professional lines used by skin therapists.
How to determine your skin type?
The foundation of a good routine is knowing your skin type. If you use products that don't suit your skin, your routine will miss its mark. There are five basic types: normal, dry, oily, combination, and sensitive.

How to build a skincare routine?
A good routine consists of four steps: cleansing, treating, moisturizing, and protecting. The order is crucial — from light to heavy, watery to rich.
Morning Routine
- Cleanser
- Vitamin C serum — protection and evening out skin tone
- Day cream — tailored to your skin type
- SPF — always, even on cloudy days
Evening Routine
- Cleanser — remove makeup and SPF
- Active serum — retinol or recovery serum
- Night cream — richer than your day cream

Step-by-step: what product to apply when and why the order matters.
Which active ingredients work best?
Active ingredients are the workhorses of your skincare. The three most proven ingredients for radiant, healthy skin:
Retinol
The most researched anti-aging ingredient. Stimulates cell renewal, reduces fine lines, and evens out skin tone. Start with a low concentration.
What retinol does, how to start, and which Jan Marini and ASAP products contain it.
Niacinamide
The most versatile ingredient. Strengthens the skin barrier, regulates sebum, refines pores, and soothes. Suitable for almost every skin type.

Vitamin C
Protects during the day against UV damage and pollution. Lightens pigment spots and supports collagen production. Use every morning before your SPF.

SPF — the most underestimated product

Why SPF is indispensable even on cloudy and winter days.
Professional skincare after 40
After 40, your skin changes structurally: cell renewal slows down, collagen production decreases, and the skin becomes drier. Key players: retinol in the evening, vitamin C in the morning, richer cream, and always SPF.
