Question 1:
Hello. I haven’t used any of your body care products to date, so I would like to ask you for a sample of one of your shower gels or body-care milk and for more information about these products. My skin is extremely dry and inelastic and sometimes shows signs of sensitivity. I will be very grateful for your help and advice.

Answer 1:
Dear Maja,
Thank you for your interest and trust. We will be happy to advise you and find the right solution for you.
At Kozmetika Afrodita, we devote great attention to body care solutions for dry skin, which is why our wide range of cosmetics includes many care products to suit your skin.
What needs special attention in caring for dry skin?
The first step is to make sure you are using a shower gel that does not dehydrate the skin but helps to retain moisture in its deeper layers. At the same time, the gel should contain nurturing ingredients that are already nourishing and nurturing the skin as you shower.
In the second step, after showering, your skin URGENTLY needs ample nourishing care, additional refreshment and protection against stress factors. Let it benefit from a rich body-care milk or lotion that will lavishly nourish the skin, provide deep moisturising and make it soft, supple and silky smooth. Such daily care will help you avoid skin problems and unpleasant dry, scaly body skin.
As the range of Kozmetika Afrodita body care products is quite extensive, we would like to give you a brief introduction to the products that are suitable for the daily care of your skin:

Kozmetika Afrodita
Question 2:
I would like your advice. I am 53 years old and have quite a number of wrinkles. My skin is extremely dry. Could you please advise me which of your creams for face care would suit me best? I would be grateful if you could send me a sample of the cream you recommend. Thank you for your help and advice.
Eva
Answer 2:
Dear Eva,
As you are approaching a mature age and your skin is extremely dry, we recommend skin care with products from the Karotin +50 line. This line includes a night and day cream, and, since we have not forgotten about eye lines, we have also developed Karotin eye cream. Further on, superb complementary care for extremely dry and dehydrated skin that lacks fats is provided by Cera derm fluid.
Of course, you should remember that the basis of any daily skin care is cleansing, so be particularly consistent in this. Use a cleansing product suited to your skin and do not forget to use a tonic for dry skin on a daily basis. For this purpose, Kozmetika Afrodita has created a line of skin cleansing products, Clean Phase, which includes two products specially designed for dry skin. They are:
Clean phase Cleansing milk Soft for dry and sensitive skin
gently but effectively removes eye and face make-up and other impurities from the face, neck and chest. Bisabolol helps soothe the skin while provitamin B5 moisturises and softens it and makes it supple. Does not irritate eyes.
Use: Apply to face, neck and décolletage with cotton wool. After cleansing, tone the skin with a toner for dry and sensitive skin.
Clean phase Tonic Soft for dry and sensitive skin
is a vital part of skin cleansing. With its added provitamin B5 and botanical hydrocomplex it gives the skin plenty of moisture and freshness and a gentle softness, a beautiful tone and natural acidity. The skin is now ready for further care.
Use: After cleansing with cleansing milk, apply tonic to skin with cotton wool and allow it to be absorbed. For dry skin we recommend using toner several times a day.
Thorough cleansing of your skin should be followed by application of care products (creams). As mentioned, we recommend our line for mature skin care, Karotin +50:
KAROTIN + 50 DAY CREAM, lifting & anti-wrinkle
DeepalineTM & Indian senna extract
Boosts the elasticity of facial muscles, thereby preventing new wrinkle formation. Removes facial expression wrinkles, lastingly "fills out" or smoothes deeper wrinkles in the dermis and strengthens and thickens the epidermis. Protects the skin against moisture loss, acts as an excellent antioxidant and defends skin cells against photo-ageing. Also highly recommended for regular neck and décolleté skin care.
KAROTIN + 50 NIGHT CREAM, lifting & anti-wrinkle
DeepalineTM & soy phytosterols
Regenerates and moisturises the skin, and accelerates elastin and collagen synthesis. Removes facial expression wrinkles and lastingly "fills out" deeper wrinkles. Boosts the elasticity of facial muscles thereby preventing new wrinkle formation. Conditioned skin is smooth and firm to the touch. The cream is also well-suited for day care of dry skin.
KAROTIN CERA DERM FLUID Concentrate, anti-wrinkle & lift effect
ceramide 3 & vitamin E
An especially precious product that deeply moisturises the skin and provides it with missing lipids. Protects against moisture loss, which makes it ideal for dehydrated skin care. Use as stand-alone care on oily skin. Due to its exceptional repair capacity this product is also recommended for neck and décolleté skin care. Just a few drops will nourish the skin for the entire day and protect against environmental factors. Gives the skin a silky soft, smooth and very youthful appearance. Apply on top of cream.
KAROTIN ANTI-WRINKLE EYE CREAM, anti-wrinkle & lift effect
plant vitamin A & cera derm complex & phytoamine biocomplex
Gently conditions, thoroughly moisturises and stimulates skin regeneration. As a result, the skin becomes much tauter (lift effect), deep wrinkles become less visible and small wrinkles are removed. The cream also improves dark circles under the eyes. Prevents formation of new wrinkles and firms, protects and calms the skin.
We trust our advice will be helpful to you and that you will follow up our recommendation and seek out Karotin and Clean Phase line products.
We can also send you a catalogue and samples of Karotin line products that are currently available.
Warm greetings,
Kozmetika Afrodita
Question 3:
I am 24 years old and like many other women I’m trying different ways to get rid of one nuisance - cellulite. I’m turning to you for advice about which product is the most suitable for me. I use Body Slim stockings to help break down cellulite, but I don’t know which anti-cellulite product would work best in combination with these. I would also like to know whether the stockings may be worn at night.
Thank you for your advice. Anja
Answer 3:
Dear Anja,
Thank you for the trust you have placed in us so far. We are confident that we can find the right solution for you. In your letter, you enquired about anti-cellulite products from the Body Slim line and asked me to explain the difference between products and answer the question: "Which anti-cellulite product is right for me?"
This is a very good question, since cellulite affects at least 80% of women, though each of them must tackle it in her own specific way. Why? Every woman has "her own cellulite". That is why in defining "the best anti-cellulite care" we cannot speak of a single formula with a revolutionary solution to the problem of cellulite. The fact is that cellulite appears in different forms and stages of development, which has to be taken in account when choosing appropriate anti-cellulite care. The cellulite type depends on the foundation it develops on. In summary, there are two main types, soft and firm cellulite. You can tell which type yours is through these differences:
- Firm cellulite is sometimes hard to notice because the fatty layer bonds with the muscles. This type of cellulite is difficult to separate from the structure on which it forms. Kneading the tissue with the fingers feels painful, because the tissue is tied in to the nerve endings. This type is usually seen in young women in good shape.
- Soft cellulite is more easy to recognise because it is less concentrated and compact than firm cellulite. It may affect larger areas, is unattached to other tissues and is found between muscles and skin. It is very slippery and can slide over muscle.
In view of this, Kozmetika Afrodita has designed Body Slim, a wide range of cosmetic products to fight cellulite, among which every modern woman is sure to find the right product – your very own powerful anti-cellulite care to help you get rid of cellulite, to improve skin structure and smoothness, to lose an unnecessary centimetre or two and regain self-confidence.
As the Body Slim line embraces a broad range of products for anti-cellulite care, here is some basic information about all Body Slim products:
BODY SLIM CINNAMON ANTI-CELLULITE GEL
stretch effect
cinnamon & butcher’s broom
The optimal choice in cases of SOFT CELLULITE. Accelerates water and waste secretion, reduces pockets of fat, shapes the body.
Use: Gently massage the gel into the affected parts of the body. The gel acts thermally.
Afrodita’s tip: We recommend gentle circular massage from the feet upwards to the chest, including the arms. To obtain the best results, wear special aroma massage stockings and engage in physical activity for at least one hour.
BODY SLIM CECROPIA ANTI-CELLULITE GEL
lipolyte active
cecropia & essential oils
Extremely effective in cases of COMPACT CELLULITE. Due to rapid and deep penetration into the skin the gel intensively degrades fat, intensively drains waste substances and water from the skin and subcutaneous tissues and shapes the body.
Use: Gently massage the gel into the affected parts of the body. The gel initially produces a slightly cooling effect.
Afrodita’s tip: In order to achieve the optimal effect, massage the body from the feet to the chest and arms with gentle circular motions. To obtain the best results, wear special aroma massage stockings and engage in physical activity for at least one hour.
BODY SLIM CENTELLA ANTI-CELLULITE LOTION
lifting & firming
centella & biocomplex
Improves skin firmness, maintains skin suppleness, stimulates connective tissue regeneration, stimulates collagen and elastin production. Completes the effects of anti-cellulite care.
Use: Use the lotion in everyday morning body care. Absorbs rapidly and well, does not leave an oily or sticky residue.
Afrodita’s tip: Daily use of the lotion helps you successfully maintain a beautiful, cellulite-free body. Apply to completely cleansed skin.
BODY SLIM GUARANA ANTI-CELLULITE CREAM
drainage effect
guarana & lemon
Boosts the effect of the Cinnamon or Cecropia anti-cellulite GEL. Improves blood flow, capillary blood flow and lymph flow, prevents capillary permeability (one of the causes of cellulite formation) and stimulates collagen production.
Use: Thoroughly massage the cream into the body (as demonstrated in the pictures). Absorbs into the skin well and does not leave an oily or sticky residue. After use, the skin is left incredibly smooth and shiny.
Afrodita’s tip: After application of one of the anti-cellulite gels and at least one hour of physical activity in Aroma massage stockings and another shower with Jojoba Pearls Massage Shower Gel, you can further improve the effect with several minutes of circular massage from the feet to the chest and arms. Recommended for daily evening massage even if you do not have cellulite, because these massages prevent its reappearance.
BODY SLIM ANTI-CELLULITE CREAM GARCINIA 3 IN 1
lypolysis & drainage & firming
dermatologically tested
GARCINIA 3-in-1 anti-cellulite cream with powerful triple action eliminates even the most persistent cellulite, shapes and trims the body, accelerates water and toxin secretion from the skin and and visibly smoothes and firms the skin.
The ideal solution for a simple and effective anti-cellulite treatment, especially when you are low on time.
Use: Use the cream every morning and evening throughout the year. Apply to cellulite-affected areas or the entire body (especially during a weight loss programme). Due to the cream's thermal effect, skin will feel slightly warm after application.
BODY SLIM ANTICELLULITE AROMA MASSAGE STOCKINGS with natural oils
COLOR: black
aroma grapefruit & geranium
Aroma massage stockings scented with natural grapefruit and geranium oil stimulate blood circulation and shape the body from the breasts down. With the help of the aroma massage stockings you will witness excellent results of penetration and the anti-cellulite effect of active ingredients from all products of the Body Slim anti-cellulite program.
Wear the stockings after applying the selected Body Slim product. The best results are achieved if you wear them throughout the day, as well as if you are wearing them during an hour long physical activity.
The stockings relieve/reduce the feeling of heavy and tired legs.
Improved texture
Slimmer/shaped figure
Lighter legs
New, revolutionary formula against cellulite and stretch marks:
PITAYA cream gel against cellulite and stretch marks
PROVEN to reduce visible signs of cellulite and stretch marks and to reshape the figure.
- EFFECTIVELY reduces visible signs of cellulite and stretch marks
- Provides EXCELLENT care, improves the structure of the skin and keeps it firm and elastic,
- has lipolytic, antioxidative and anti-enzymatic effects on cells throughout all layers of the skin,
- restricts the development of new fatty cells,
- helps in all-round re-SHAPING of the figure and in reducing girth in the area of stomach, thighs and hips.
Use:
Massage the cream gel mornings and evenings into critical areas with cellulite and stretch marks. After application we recommend using Aroma-massage tights from the Body Slim line.
Our advice: Effective care for people with fluctuating body weight. We advise against use by pregnant and breastfeeding women.
To achieve best results, use the gel daily, mornings and evening, for 28 days. We estimate that one product (150 ml) will last roughly 7 to 10 days, depending on body size or the surface area affected by cellulite and stretch marks. There is NO upper limit of allowed use or quantity – so we cannot speak of excessive use or its harmfulness.
Proven effects:
- Visibly reduced cellulite and improved skin smoothness in 28 days*
- 65% of women – thigh girth reduced up to 2 cm**
- 71% of women – hip girth reduced up to 4.5 cm**
* Results are based on self-assessment in 20 women in 28 days. Results were tested on 20 women in 28** or 56*** days of "in vivo" testing
Unfortunately, we are unable to send sample products of the Body Slim line, as none are available. Samples would be of little benefit since one sample only allows one or two applications, which cannot ensure any results. We do have samples of face-care products available at Kozmetika Afrodita, and we can, at your request, send them to you.
We will be glad to send you the Body Slim line catalogue and a catalogue of our revolutionary products against cellulite and stretch marks. We trust that the presented products and their proven effects will delight you enough to test at least one of them for yourself.
Warm greetings,
Kozmetika Afrodita
