That means "beautiful skin" and Doris Wagner Cosmetics will be available in China from now on providing the means for a beautiful skin! Our products are now sold in China and we plan to stir up the cosmetic market with our presence. But China is not Europe - there are some things to keep in mind, from cultural habits to daily routine!
Today we clarify some differences between China and Europe, tell you about the most interesting markets in China and where to find our products!
The 7,219 km distance from Germany is not only noticeable in the length of the flight, but also in the mentality of the people and by the traditions and customs in the country.
There is no such thing as disturbance in China - especially in the big cities there is a constant noise level both during the day and at night. In such situations, a calm bath, a NAVI Revitalizing Hydro-Night Cream face mask and a glass of wine can help you to relax. Promise!
Also the behaviour in public is different than what one is used to in Europe. So slurping at the table in Chinese restaurants is explicitly encouraged (because that means the food tastes good), but blowing the nose at the table is frowned upon and when you're invited to dine with them, you should not eat everything that’s on the plate as that means the food given to you wasn’t enough - that in turn insults the host.
China is notorious for smog, which even forces people to walk around with air masks. This smog not only damages the respiratory system but also has a negative impact on the skin! Our NAVI Anti-Pollution Hydro-Day Cream can also help with this: It protects the skin from UV radiation and from dirt particles in the air.
As a European company, it is not easy to sell its products in China. You have to expect some restrictions there - and it's a long process before you finally get permission to enter the Chinese market. We at Doris Wagner Cosmetics have now made it official and can provide our Chinese customers with our exclusive NAVI product line.
In Asia, German products are generally very popular - especially European cosmetics. In China, there are food scandals which happens quite often, which is why the quality associated with European, especially German products is an important factor.
Quality and reliability are our principles - and that's exactly why we are going to revolutionize the cosmetic market in Asia!
German NAVI Products - and Where to Find Them
The Chinese market is a challenge - but we have carved a niche for our NAVI products. Our protective day care set, along with our regenerating night series are both represented on popular Chinese online platforms.
For example, we find ourselves on Taobao - a huge online trade owned by Alibaba, or on one of the largest online sales platforms, JD.com, based in Beijing and also on Xiaohongshu - a social media platform.
We are particularly proud of our presence in local drug-stores, especially Bodystyle, a drug store chain that is extremely popular in China's major cities.
From now on you will receive our promise "My Promise" - not only in Europe, but also in China! 我 的 承諾!
]]>The pimples that come during puberty is because of the the increased production of male hormones, which in turn leads to an increased production of sebum. As a result, the skin becomes more dense on the surface than normal, which narrows the excretory ducts and the sebum can no longer be excreted optimally - it results in pimples.
Hormones affect sebum production and this can lead to pimples, we know that now. But why do you still get pimples when you've left puberty behind? This is because the causes of pimples and blackheads can be very different, with some factors playing a role such as:
Stress hormones are the arch-enemy of any good skin. The problem with this is that we are usually exposed to a certain level of stress in our daily work. In itself, that's not so bad - as long as you treat yourself in return to sufficient rest and breaks. A good stress management leads to beautiful skin!
Many studies have confirmed that pimples and acne are actually inflammatory diseases of the skin - they are caused by micro-inflammation of the skin. That is why proper care is especially important in the morning and in the evening! For example, daily cleansing with the gentle NAVI Pure Refreshing Cleansing Gel is not only suitable for normal but also for dry skin.
Sugar is not only bad for the figure, but also for the skin, but you probably already know that already. In addition, you should drink a lot of water throughout the day, because hydration is particularly important for the skin. But did you know that smoking also has a negative effect on the skin and promotes pimples? Smoking makes the skin age faster and inhibits cell renewal, which in turn means more pimples.
The worst thing you can do with pimples is just pressing it wildly. This usually ends with more pimples arising. We know that the temptation is there to do so, but it's worth resisting. Instead, you should try the following: A camomile bath - or even a facial steam bath, when the time is short - through the warm water, the pores open and can then be cleaned well. For the pimple - or other inflamed areas - is a zinc ointment excellent: namely, zinc has an anti-inflammatory and healing properties, just what you need for pimples.
To avoid pimples in advance, we recommend that you prevent them with proper care. Clean the face regularly, but also with the right creams, such as the NAVI Anti-Pollution Hydro-Day Cream to protect the skin from harmful substances in the air and harmful UV radiation.
Then you can really say goodbye to your pimples!

The companies ranked highest were ex aequo:
The Equileap Gender Scorecard, is inspired by the UN’s Women’s Empowerment Principles, measures criteria in the fields of:
‘Gender equality is more than a goal in itself, it is a pre-condition for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty, promoting sustainable development and building good governance. ’ (Kofi Annan)
Companies that are on the Bloomberg ESG list for Ethics, Weapons, Gambling or Tobacco are excluded.
The #metoo and #TimesUp movements of the past year have had some positive impact though it seems. The UK introduced the first gender pay gap legislation. North American firms are 'beginning to address gender based violence at work'.
Even though there has been some patchy progress when compared with the last ranking, it is quite obvious that no company received an A+, A or even A- grading.
Two companies have even been given an 'an alarm bell' with regards to sexual harassment cases in the past 2 years.
'There are not many signs that change is being embedded in global corporate culture across all sectors and countries.' (Equileap report)
Austria has been bottom of the class. But this was due to the fact that no company met the eligibility criteria with the required amount of market capitalization. But even those Austrian companies are not eligible for the rankings had an average of only 36 /100 overall score.
We at Doris Wagner Cosmetics are led by a woman, firmly believe in the fair and non-discriminatory treatment of women and men and ensure health, safety and well-being of our staff. We support women empowerment and a positive public image of women in all our media and encourage women to have a more positive view about themselves.

What is PayPal?
'Your most unhappy customers are your greates source of learning.' (Bill Gates)
Every day we saw about 6-7of you breaking off your order processes, because of entering wrong credit card credentials. I myself have done that numerous times when online shopping, because I couldn't remember my Verified-by-VISA-password. PayPal is an excellent solution to this problem - you only have to remember one password, that's it. It stores various payment methods safely. As a vendor we have to give roughly 4-5% of our revenue to PayPal as transaction fees, but satisfying customers and ultimately enabling them to purchase easier is definitely worth it.

A stunning 2 years ahead of a fashion seasons, the London-based International Colour Authority publishes the so called Intercolor color palette. The DMI (Deutsches Mode Institut - German Institute of Fashion) then derives a DMI Tendenzfarbkarte from this palette advising fashion designers which colors to choose from for their new designs. The French Premiére Vision trade fair for fabrics thus reduces this color chart to next season's top colors and the DMI Orderkarte is published.
