Overview
In 1951 Annemarie Borlind designed a line of skin care products, Borlind of Germany, that focus on natural skin care, as opposed to the use of harsh chemicals. Annemarie Borlind initially began research to create these products in order to cure her common skin affliction-what is today known as acne. Since dermatologists were not prescribing effective remedies, Annemarie Borlin realized after a long decade of searching that it was up to her to achieve a clear complexion on her own. Eventually Annemarie Borlind found relief in natural herbal extracts applied to the skin. As Annemarie Borlind became more intrigued by the use of natural herbs and remedies, she studied at a cosmetology school to improve her knowledge and skills. Her focus was primarily on all-natural herbal ingredients and how they benefit different skin types. Currently Annemarie Borlind skin care treatments are some of the leading brands and are sold in more than 30 countries worldwide.
Borlind of Germany is a complete skin care system that was designed to assist anyone and everyone with skin problems. Annemarie Borlind has developed products for dry, sensitive, acne-prone, combination and normal skin types. Borlind of Germany offers everything from skin care regimens, to make up, to sunscreens. Annemarie Borlind claims to utilize the least polluted and fully organic plant sources in order to create her product line. Even the water used in the skin care line is unpolluted and highly regulated to ensure the absense of chemical pollutants. In short, Annemarie Borlind tries to focus on natural beauty in its purist form.
Product Details
Annemarie Borlind skin care products, treatments and solutions are crafted and designed for skin care enthusiasts who appreciate all-natural ingredients and the avoidance of chemicals and preservatives. The key ingredients in the Borlind of Germany skin care line are a variety of plant herbs that work in unison to improve the overall appearance of skin. While these certainly won't harm your skin in any way, they may not achieve the same effects as more formulated products. Annemarie Borlind avoids the incorporation of all fragrances, artificial colors and harsh chemical ingredients in her products.
