The minimalist's routine

Today we want to introduce you to one of our favorites in skincare. Think of nkm as Germany’s answer to mindful beauty. Founded by Mareike Peters, nkm (short for Naturkosmetik München) is redefining how we approach skincare with a “from the ground up” philosophy. This brand doesn’t just offer products—they also give you the option to get hands-on with DIY kits that let you explore your skin’s needs, ingredient by ingredient.

​​​​

nkm is all about sustainability and keeping it local. They select regional ingredients for the highest quality and combine them with the latest scientific insights. nkm works with German farmers to source herbs and botanicals that thrive naturally in the region, like chamomile and witch hazel. This approach reduces the carbon footprint and ensures that every ingredient is super fresh, minimally processed, and tailored for the local climate.

You can also visit their stores in Berlin, Hamburg and Munich to see, smell, and experience the products and their values.
Their minimalist approach shows you, that it doesn’t need a huge beauty routine to get your skin hydrated and healthy. So we put together our favorites for you to try.

The Minimalist’s Routine​

 

Step 1: Purify with the 10% AHA/BHA/PHA Peeling

​

This triple-acid exfoliator is a game-changer for uneven texture, dullness, or congestion. Combining AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs, this peeling gently exfoliates on multiple levels to dissolve dead skin cells and clear out pores, revealing a more radiant complexion underneath. Because it’s powerful, use it 1-2 times a week at night and follow with soothing products to maximize results without irritating your skin.

​

​

Step 2: Hydrate Deeply with the Algae Hyaluronic Serum

​

Once your skin is primed, follow with NKM’s Algen-Hyaluronserum. This lightweight serum is loaded with hyaluronic acid and algae extracts that draw moisture into the skin, providing deep, long-lasting hydration. Algae is also rich in antioxidants, which help protect the skin against environmental damage. This serum is a hydration hero, perfect for restoring moisture without any heavy residue. 

 

 

Step 3: Nourish with the Combination Skin Routine

​

NKM’s custom routine for combination skin includes essential products specifically designed to balance oilier areas while nourishing dry patches. Formulated with soothing plant extracts and balancing actives, this routine helps regulate oil production without over-drying. It’s a gentle, comprehensive way to give combination skin what it needs without overloading it. 

 

 

Step 4: Soothe and Revive with the Regenerating Eye Cream

​

The delicate eye area deserves special attention, and NKM’s eye cream brings just the right amount of care with a blend of hydrating and revitalizing ingredients. Designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and dark circles, this formula is lightweight yet deeply nourishing. Pat a small amount around the eyes as the final step in your routine to keep this area hydrated and smooth.
