Bunny ears and hamster cheeks: How to rescue your skin after the chocolate escalation

The Easter weekend was nice – maybe a little too nice? Between nougat eggs, chocolate bunnies, and family feasts, not only the stomach suffered. Our skin often reacts sensitively to sugar, fat, and lack of sleep. The result: blemishes, dull complexion, and an overall stressed look.

But don’t worry: With the right care routine and a little self-love, you can quickly get your skin back on track for spring.

Why chocolate leaves marks on the skin

Sugar can promote so-called inflammatory processes in the body, which in turn weaken the collagen structure of the skin. At the same time, sweet treats stimulate sebum production – this can lead to clogged pores and blemishes. Combined with less exercise and one too many glasses of eggnog, the Easter escalation often shows up directly on the face.

But: You can do a lot now to support your skin in regeneration.

Detox for skin & body: Your SOS routine after Easter

1. Antioxidants for internal cleansing: Start with a gentle reboot from within. Green tea, citrus fruits, berries, or supplements with vitamin C, zinc, and selenium help neutralize free radicals.

2. Mild cleansers instead of aggressive agents: Your skin doesn’t need friction now, but consideration. Use a gentle cleanser that removes dirt and excess sebum without irritating the skin’s protective barrier.

3. Detox masks for deep pore freshness: Deep-cleansing masks with activated charcoal, healing clay, or green tea clarify the skin and free it from excess sebum. Ideal time: in the evening after cleansing, 1–2 times per week.

4. Don’t forget moisture: Even if your skin tends to blemishes: it needs moisture. Light gels or serums with hyaluron, niacinamide, or aloe vera bring the complexion back into balance.

5. The guilt? Just let it go: Did you snack? Good! Enjoyment is part of life. Now is the perfect time to do something good for your body and skin again – with conscious care instead of self-reproach.
