3 Best Skincare Tips We Stole from Dermatologists
Dr. Timm Golüke, founder of the Royal Fern brand, is a renowned German dermatologist who has distilled his experience and knowledge on slowing down skin aging into three key tips — and into the formulas of Royal Fern skincare. We've gladly included them in our MET+ skincare tips.
Consistency: If you want to see results, don’t give up
The first rule of good skincare is consistency and perseverance. If you're dealing with a skin issue, it takes time and dedication — sometimes even a dermatologist’s consultation. If you don’t have a specific concern but want to maintain youthful skin and slow down the signs of aging, being consistent is just as important.
PLUS TIP: Our MET+ team would add this — build a skincare routine that you enjoy. It's much easier to stick to a routine you love, one that fits your personality and lifestyle, than one that feels like a chore and uses textures or scents you don’t like.
If you prefer fast, efficient, and science-backed skincare, go for a minimal-step routine with brands like Esthederm, VENN, Malin+Goetz, or Royal Fern. If you're drawn to natural textures, aromas, and indulgent rituals, we recommend brands like Darphin, Dr. Hauschka, or Susanne Kaufmann.
Protect yourself from external aggressors: sun and pollution
Like most dermatologists, Dr. Timm Golüke emphasizes sun protection as a key part of skincare that preserves skin health and slows aging. He recommends investing in a good sunscreen, as well as a high-quality antioxidant serum that can neutralize or prevent damage from external factors such as pollution and UV radiation.
PLUS TIP: A good antioxidant serum and a sunscreen are all you need in your summer routine or if your skin is combination to oily. If your skin is dry or dehydrated, follow the serum with a nourishing cream.
Royal Fern’s phytoactive antioxidant ampoules prevent free radicals from causing damage before it even starts!
Less is more – don’t overwhelm your skin with too many actives
Most dermatologists today agree that overloading your skin with actives in a single routine can do more harm than good. American dermatologist Dr. Whitney Bowe even created a viral routine called skin cycling, where actives are alternated on different days.
Dr. Timm Golüke advises investing in a few high-quality products rather than layering on numerous formulas.
PLUS TIP: Effective skincare starts with the right products — the wrong one can do more harm than good. That’s why MET+ consultations are available at our locations in Dorćol, Vračar, and Novi Sad.
