Dear Readers,
So fresh!
So fruity!
BODYlind FRESH is the perfect care range for velvety-soft skin right around the clock.
Superior fig extract supplies long-lasting moisture and makes for feel-good freshness.
Precious oils keep the skin noticeably soft and supple.
New Dry Body Oil has a particularly light, rapidly absorbed texture, and leaves the
skin feeling very pleasant.
Make-up innovation: exactly what is
in the new loose powder?
Approximately seven million people in Germany are vegetarians. And
an ever-increasing number are abstaining from meat on a frequent
basis and looking for healthy, delicious alternatives. Many people avoid
all products derived from dead animals or containing substances from
animal carcasses. Actress Marion Kracht is one of these people. She
cooks and enjoys not only pure vegetarian meals, she has even created
her own vegan range of organic food products called vevenga. I am especially pleased that she joined us to cook a vegan summer menu exclusively for “natural woman.” Turn to page 4 to see Marion Kracht in
action and find a few of her recipes to try at home.
Likewise, all of the products made by our company are free of substances from dead animals and thus 100 percent suitable for vegetarians. Approximately 80 percent of the products are in fact vegan
cosmetics (for a list please visit http://unternehmen.boerlind.com/
die-marke/qualitaet/vegan). They contain no animal extracts or products from animals such as carmine, the red dye from the cochineal
insect. In the interest of product quality, we do use animal-based raw
materials such as beeswax in a few cases because it improves the consistency of mascara or regulates the smoothness of lipstick.

Vegan à la
Marion
Kracht
A festive menu instead of filming,
veggies instead of veal. The beloved
actress and passionate cook gives
“natural woman” an exclusive peek
at how versatile and delicious vegan
cuisine can be. Try this at home!
personal health. She is particularly fond of Indian cuisine,
which was the spark that first inspired her to become
vegetarian in 1989. “It was back then in India that I saw
how magnificent a vegetarian diet could be. At that
time, the best vegetarian food one got in Germany was
a pile of unseasoned vegetables as a side dish.” Her
favorite recipe, however, is her mother’s “Sauerbraten”
(lit. “marinated pot roast”). “When my stomach longs for
childhood,” she says, “then I prepare it with seitan,
dumplings and red cabbage. That is truly delicious.”
N
o doubt about it, she has a talent for acting her
way into her audience’s heart: multi-faceted, relevant, funny and entertaining with an excellent
capacity for expression in a wide variety of genres. With
over 40 years of solid experience in the acting business,
she successfully made the transition from child star in
the TV mini-series “Die Buddenbrooks” to adult actress
and winner of the Goldene Kamera (“Golden Camera”)
award. In 2002 Marion Kracht was awarded the German
Federal Cross of Merit for her outstanding commitment
to helping the deaf, triggered by her theater role as Sarah
in “Children of a Lesser God.” She learned sign language
specifically for this role. Marion Kracht became especially
popular for her role in the TV series “Diese Drombuschs.”
She is not just a well-loved TV and theater actress,
however, but has also been making a name for herself
as an outstanding cook. For over 25 years now, the 51year-old has been preparing vegetarian delicacies for
herself, her husband and her two sons – and sometimes
even for strangers in other people’s kitchens: “To benefit
a children’s aid project, someone once paid 2,500 euros
to hire me as a chef for six persons. The guests, who were
not vegetarians, even wrote down the recipe for the vegetarian balsamic roast with orange fennel and emmer
couscous,” she recalls. Marion Kracht is not one of those
who want to avoid meat simply because it is currently
considered good social form. At home she likes to cook
Thai curries or, when time is limited, Indian palak paneer
(spinach with paneer cheese), “but with tofu instead of
cheese,” adds the actress who now prefers a vegan diet
for reasons related to climate protection, ethics and
No matter if vegetarian or vegan –
her repertoire of recipes is varied and
healthy
Her expertise in preparation, composition and products
is no secret to audiences of TV cooking shows: Whether
“ARD-Buffet”, “Lafer! Lichter! Lecker!”, “Promi-Dinner”
(which she won), her own cooking show at VeggieWorld,
Germany’s largest trade fair for vegetarians, vegans and
raw food lovers, or her own cooking columns in newspapers – Marion Kracht has proven again and again how
exceptionally versatile and delicious a meat-free diet can
be. All that is missing is her own vegetarian TV cooking
show. After all, an increasing number of people are
looking for delicious alternatives to meat. Marion Kracht
would have good ratings, that is for sure.

Food is something very special to Marion Kracht.
She is a highly intuitive and creative cook able to
transform classic dishes into vegan delights. “I usually
continue fiddling with recipes. As a result, I am always
creating new dishes,” says the amateur chef. She always
pays careful attention to quality. “For me, it is essential

possible and have been regionally sourced.” This
summery, Mediterranean menu even contains an ingredient that is not only a delight for the palette, it plays an
important role for the skin as well: The salt marsh plant
salicornia, also known as glasswort, is an active antiaging ingredient in the AQUANATURE series from
ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND. It preserves moisture and helps
regenerate the skin.
Glasswort: gourmet vegetable and
active anti-aging substance
Glasswort pampers the palette with its light salty taste
and delicate texture that surpasses even young green
asparagus. It is easiest to find in specialty seafood stores.
The other ingredients in this menu can be found in wellstocked natural food stores, organic food shops, at
weekly farmers’ markets or in delicatessen shops: e.g.
the exotic, tangy-sweet tree tomato tamarillo, trendy
chia seeds rich in protein and omega-3 or the millet-like

Most of us presenters spend nearly an
hour getting our make-up done before a
show. What the make-up artists manage
in this time is amazing: hair, make-up
and not infrequently a brief, refreshing
massage, an encouraging word and
helpful make-up tips! One of the top
make-up artists regularly does my
make-up for my online fashion show
“IN Fashion” (www.in.de) and has already
had half of Hollywood under his powder
brush: Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman,
Karolína Kurková. Ayhan Üstün! His tricks
are legendary! The most important thing
first: Before applying make-up, I always
use a good serum to create a base for the
skin and supply it with moisture. A funny
trick to avoid getting lipstick on your
teeth: As soon as the lipstick has been
applied, stick a finger in your mouth –
ideally your index finger – and pull it
out slowly while pursing your lips as if to
kiss someone. It may not look exactly
Grated, but the excess lipstick lands on
your finger and will not mess up your
teeth! If you have unruly eyebrows, simply spray hairspray on a cotton swab and
use it to smooth out your brows. Press
them into shape, let dry – voilà! Ayhan’s
special type for natural-looking make-up:
Use a little gloss powder to set soft
glossy accents on the bridge of the nose,
cheek bones and jaw line. That creates a
very natural look. So whip out those
powder puffs and create an even

iny bistros and brasseries with awnings made of
vermillion fabric entice passers-by to linger on
their terraces. The city’s romantic, picturesque
charm and fashion from sought-after designers such
as Sonia Rykiel, Isabel Marant or the currently hippest
label, The Kooples, stirs longings for a sojourn in this
cosmopolitan city. When we think of Paris, however, we
also think of the beautiful French women with their
stunningly elegant sense of style. They are regarded as
experts in the “no make-up” look – natural, calm yet
perfectly styled.
No matter if you are brunette or blonde or prefer
cool or warm tones, the color palette in the new makeup collection flatters any woman: In the powder eyeshadows, the nuances light rose, gold, green moss,
mauve, mocha, stone, golden green, blue pearl, apricot
and dark plum create expressive eyes. The range of lipsticks includes a fresh, brilliant ruby hue entitled paris
red as well as both warm and cool shades of red. Follow
these make-up tips to easily create your own elegant
yet natural summer look: Prep your face by applying a
light day cream or fluid to provide the skin with optimum moisture. Then cover pigmentation marks, rings
under the eyes and red patches on the sides of the nose
and cheeks with the liquid concealer. It masks minor
imperfections naturally using light-reflecting pigments.
Like a walk down a
tree-lined alley
Lighten the outer corners of your eyes and mouth to
make your face appear more youthful. Reduced
elasticity creates shadows in these areas that make the
face appear older. Work the concealer cream into the
skin with a gentle patting motion until it is perfectly
blended. Then pat the foundation on as well. Now fix it
in place with a loose powder: Dust the powder on with
a thick brush, always moving from the top to the
bottom of the face. This will prevent hairs from sticking
out. The powder absorbs any oil that forms over the
course of the day, stopping shine. At the same time, the
microfine shimmer pigments create a soft-focus effect.
Choose two colors for the eye make-up, as this gives
the eyes more depth. Apply the lighter tone, such as
skin, to the moveable lid and set extra highlights under
the brow and on the inner lid. Then use the darker color,
such as brown delight, just for accents: Apply along the
fold of the lid and smudge upwards and outwards.
Blend the colors into one another. The look can be
intensified in the evening with eyeliner on the upper lid
line. Apply mascara to your eyelashes. For your mouth,
select a contour pencil in a natural shade that matches
the color of your own lips. Apply the contour pencil by
starting at the corners of the mouth and moving
towards the center. Apply the lipstick by starting in the
center and working outwards. Et voilà, c’est Paris! áá

A loose powder that

esearch paves the way for new experiences: A fluid
make-up that supplies moisture and covers minor
imperfections. That sounds logical. It has a liquid
to creamy texture and leaves the skin feeling noticeably
refreshed when applied. But a loose transparent powder? How can a dry powder that we dust onto our forehead, nose, cheeks and chin with a brush or powder puff
create a silky sensation that feels almost as if the skin
had just been moisturized? “Modern powders are so
ultrafine that they no longer form unsightly clumps in
fine lines and pores. They should feel like a transparent
veil made of silk,” says Guylaine Le Loarer, Head of
Research and Development at BÖRLIND GmbH.
New biotechnology: anti-aging
make-up with sustained release effect
“Our new powder is a combination of select micro-size
ingredients that harmonize exceptionally well together
and have a very special mission: They provide the skin
with a sustained supply of moisture and combat fine
wrinkles.” The innovative technology in the new powder
consists of tiny silica beads filled with sodium salt from
hyaluronic acid (sodium hyaluronate). These tiny beads
of between two and 15 micrograms in size are not visible
to the naked eye. Very generally speaking, they are
approximately equivalent in size to starch particles. The
beads permit continual release of the hyaluronic acid to
the skin, thus ensuring a long-lasting supply of moisture.
In this context, it should also be noted that all BÖRLIND
products containing any type of beads or exfoliant particles are guaranteed to come from natural sources.
“Consumers are often uncertain about microbeads
because they don’t know if they are made from microplastic or not,” says Le Loarer. Microplastic is being used
more and more often in conventional shower scrubs,
cleaning gels and make-up products. It serves as a cheap,
lightweight filler material or exfoliant and has a slight ❯❯

Silicic acid beads filled with
hyaluronic acid and suspended in a
powder – How did this innovation
come about? In addition to the matting
and concealing properties, our focus was on
making users’ skin feel especially good. Many
women want an extra-soft, smooth and
fresh finish.
What does this innovation do?
The silica beads permit gradual release of
the hyaluron to the skin, improving moisture
levels as a result.
How is the silicic acid produced?
From silica sand.
What type of hyaluronic acid is it?
We use high-molecular hyaluronic acid in
our loose powder, in our lipsticks and in our
compact powders.
High-tech powders with a soft-focus
effect are a genuine anti-aging
miracle. Is yours one of them?
Yes. The continual supply of moisture through
the hyaluronic acid reduces fine wrinkles
caused by dry skin and makes the complexion
appear smoother. This effect is enhanced by
light-reflecting pigments.

ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND does not use any
beads made from microplastic
For many years now, researchers have been pointing
out that the increasing volume of plastic garbage is
poisoning the oceans because it does not decompose.
“No polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) is used in
our skin care products,” promises Le Loarer. “Our products contain ingredients such as salt from Brittany and
exfoliant particles made from jojoba nuts, bamboo or
silica.” For example, the all-important hyaluronic acid
in the new finishing powder is encapsulated in natural
silica beads and passes through their sheaths into the
skin.” The hyaluronic acid is harvested with the aid of
biotechnology, using bacteria cultures that undergo a
fermentation process. The hyaluronic acid is regarded
as especially compatible with skin because it is naturally present in the body. It reforms every three days.
Their gel-like, structuring property is formed in every
cell, in tendons, ligaments, joints, mucous membranes
and connective tissue, when sugar molecules bind to
water. In addition, the gel-like hyaluronic acid transports and distributes nutrients faster in the organism
and ensures smooth, supple skin.
Unfortunately, the concentration of this rejuvenating substance decreases as we age. Excessive sunbathing and free radicals also have a negative effect
on hyaluronic acid levels. If one applies creams or
make-up products containing hyaluronic acid, the substance uses hydrogen bridges to bind to keratin, i.e. the
skin’s corneal layer, and thus stores moisture. That
smoothes the skin and leaves it feeling soft. In this
way, the amount of hyaluronic acid in the skin can be
raised to the levels present in youth. This active antiaging ingredient can moisturize even dry skin with a
damaged barrier layer in such a way that regenerating
and rehydrating care products can build up the barrier
layer once again. Good to know that this innovative
biotechnology combined with pearlescent pigments
can create a microfine, silky finish. That is beauty with
every stroke of the powder brush. ■

Beauty Queen
on the Water
Stockholm, the radiant capital
city of the north, offers a relaxing
vacation atmosphere
Gold-colored Renaissancestyle houses that appear
as if they were floating on
sparkling water and white
seagulls spiraling in the clear
blue sky. When kissed awake
by the first rays of morning
sunshine, Stockholm is an
unforgettable sight.
T
he royal capital is elegantly spread across 14
islands in the bays of the Baltic Sea and Lake
Mälaren. They are linked together by 50 bridges.
“The Venice of the north” – as it is affectionately known
to its fans. And it has many fans. That comes as no
surprise: While other metropolises are filled with commotion and noise, Stockholm has a splendidly relaxed
flair. One-third of its surface area is covered by water,
another third by vegetation. The full majesty of its
beauty is best explored by water. No matter if aboard
one of the romantic steamships or in a rented boat.
There is lots to see and do. Thanks to it picturesque
location between Lake Mälaren and the Baltic Sea, the
city is a mecca for lovers of water sports. Not to mention
its proximity to the 30,000 islands in the Stockholm
archipelago, one of the most beautiful sailing spots in
the world. And in case you should fall overboard, there is
no need to worry: The extremely clean water is delightful
for a dip on the long Swedish summer days.
Sightseeing
The old downtown district Gamla Stan on the island
of Stadsholmen is perfect for nostalgic strolls. It is
one of the largest and best preserved city centers
in Europe. With its many small shops and cozy cafés,
Gamla Stan is an ideal spot for whiling the time away.
The neighboring island of Riddarholmen and the royal
residence – one of the largest palaces in the world
with over 600 rooms – are also well worth seeing.
The Vasastan district, bustling with life and full of
small, offbeat shops, antiques and good food, is a hot
insider tip. Its numerous CD and record shops make
Vasastan a magnet for music lovers. The former working-class district of Södermalm has also undergone a

complete change of image. Buildings that once
functioned as brickworks and weaving mills now
house artists’ studios and bars. Visitors will encounter
a wide variety of unusual, individual, interesting and
modern shops for clothing, design, second-hand
items, furniture and hip accessories. The store called
Grandpa is a good example. Shoppers can look
forward to live music from Swedish DJs while poking
through a charming mixture of clothing, shoes,
furniture and curiosities (www.grandpa.se). This
district rises sharply out of the water, offering a
fantastic view of the city. SoFo, the alternative district
in Stockholm, is an absolute hot spot. It is filled with
bars, restaurants and shops that you won’t find
anywhere else.
No visitor to Stockholm can avoid ABBA – the city
and the group are inseparably linked. The ABBA
Museum on the island of Djurgården covers more
than 2,000 square meters devoted to the history of
the band. You can sing along with ABBA holograms
and discover treasures some of which were once
personal objects belonging to the band members
(www.abbathemuseum.com).

Food and drink
❯❯ The fish specialties in Stockholm, e. g. in the Sturehof, are an absolute must. Situated in the heart of the
shopping district, the restaurant has numbered
among the best places to eat in Stockholm since 1897.
Diners are a mixture of younger and older Stockholm
businesspeople as well as international visitors. You
are located in the heart of Sweden’s capital city, so try
to grab a table on the terrace or near a window
(www.sturehof.com). Right around the corner from the
Sturehof is another Stockholm institution, the Östermalms Saluhall. It ranks among the ten best and most
beautiful market halls in the world. You can find anything you crave here: meat, sausages, game and of
course reindeer and elk as well as Swedish cheese. There
are also many different kinds of fresh, smoked and marinated fish and all types of seafood in a quality seldom
found anywhere else. In addition to numerous
merchants, there are several restaurants and counters
where the delightful morsels offered can be savored in
peace. Because of its very small doors, the hall is somewhat difficult to find. The best thing to do is ask one of
the natives, who are generally very willing to help
(www.ostermalmshallen.se).
Those who love exotic cuisine will feel right at home
in the Farang: Asian fusion dishes with influences from
Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Indonesia are served here.
The industrial hall creates a cool, modern atmosphere –
a mixture of dining hall, cocktail bar, lounge and open
kitchen. The Farang is a gathering place for chic Stockholm society as well as designers and artists
(www.farang.se). For a fantastic view over the roofs of
Stockholms, head to the Gondolen. According to
manager Ragnar Boman, natives love to enjoy the view
over a glass of “ginger drops,” the restaurant’s own
special concotion made from fresh ginger, vodka, lemon
liqueur and lemon juice (www.eriks.se).
Accommodation
The Grand Hotel Stockholm, located on the waterfront
across from the royal palace and the old downtown, is
the epitome of luxury. The hotel’s own restaurant, the
Verandan, offers one of the best views of the city and the
harbor as well as serving an exceptionally good breakfast buffet. When ordering à la carte, the various fish appetizers are especially worth trying (www.grandhotel.se).
Another bastion of elegance is the Malardrottningen
Hotel. It is housed in an 80-year-old luxury yacht that
once belong to the department store heiress and multimillionaire Barbara Hutton. The hotel is docked in the
harbor on the island of Riddarholmen, near the old
downtown (www.malardrottningen.se).

Green oases
As soon as the winter has passed, the inhabitants of
Stockholm pour outside in droves to enjoy the first rays
of sunshine – and that at temperatures that would seem
a little cool to most of the rest of us. There is more than
enough green space for soaking up the sunshine thanks
to a huge nature preserve located on 27 square kilometers of land in the middle of the city center. The
Ekoparken is also perfect for exploring by bike.
Nature is generally very important to the inhabitants
of the city. There was good reason why Stockholm was
recognized as Europe’s first Green Capital in 2010: for its
sophisticated infrastructure system that helps to minimize emissions of greenhouse gases. Buses, for example,
run on ethanol or biogas. The city’s objective is to be
completely independent of fossil fuels by 2050. More
and more restaurants and cafés are seeking to protect
the environment as well. A shining example is the café
Rosendals Trädgård (www.rosendalstradgard.se), located
on the island of Djurgåden in the middle of Rosendal’s
Garden. Old, gnarled apple trees, green meadows, colorful flowers and lots of twittering birds – salads, soups,
sandwiches and homemade cakes are served in this
miniature paradise. The café uses organic and biodynamic ingredients, some of which are grown in its own
garden. Residents of Stockholm are also fond of holding
weddings here. This comes as no surprise considering
the tranquil beauty of this little patch of earth. ■

between two girlfriends. As soon as the meeting has
been arranged, a mental list of euphoric shopping
goals begins to form: “I could really use new slingbacks, perhaps in a daring red, or flip-flops with
glittering sequins.”
Soft feet overnight with this instant
pampering beauty treatment
After a brief inspection of one’s shoe closet and a few
minutes spent trying on last year’s summery footwear,
most women quickly become aware of the “bare” facts.
A glance at their feet and all illusions vanish: “They have
looked better,” one realizes. Pasty while, rough patches
of skin, crooked nails and ugly callouses – winter leaves

WEDGE HEELS. First introduced in

They make the foot look shapely and

First, thoroughly remove all old nail polish.
This should always be done moving from the
nail bed to the tip of the nail, not the other
way around. Bits of leftover polish could
otherwise become trapped under the cuticle.
Then apply a base coat. This smoothes out
the nail and enables the colored polish to
adhere better. It also protects the nail against
yellow discoloration from dark polishes.
Once the base coat is completely dry, apply
your favorite color polish: Always start with
one brush stroke in the middle and then
move left and right to the edges.
its traces. And unfortunately it has been a few weeks
since the last pedicure too. But taking a stroll in new
summer shoes is only a real treat with well-groomed
princess feet. How can they be transformed overnight?
Very easily: Step out of those old socks and into foot care
heaven. Ideally you should get off to a relaxed start with
a warm, cleansing footbath at 36 degrees Celsius or 97
degrees Fahrenheit. That optimally prepares the skin for
the care to follow, softens the cuticles so that they can
be pushed back and enables easier removal of callouses
as well. The feet should be soaked in a mixture of, for example, water, sea salt, olive oil, cream and dash of lavender oil for at least 15 minutes. Salt crystals in water
are ideal for exfoliation. Lightly calloused skin and excess cuticles can then be gently massaged away. ❯❯

Tips for minor emergencies
A day spent in strappy sandals or highheeled peeptoes may result in sore spots
on your heels or between your toes
created by pressure and friction. If painful
pressure points and blisters develop, give
your feet a rest in comfortable shoes that
have already been broken in. A warm foot
bath with disinfecting sea salt and lavender oil will help soothe the skin. Blisters
should never be cut open. Apply a special
bandage with a gel cushion instead.
Creams with healing panthenol are ideal
once the blister has begun to subside. A
cooling foot spray and a little massage
with nourishing oils will do wonders for
tired, strained feet: Finish off by firmly
pushing the thumbs through the four
“grooves” between the toes.

SOS SKIN
CARE
❯❯ Afterwards dry your feet well, especially between
your toes. This prevents foot fungus. If calloused skin is
still left on the balls of the feet, heels or toes, it can be
gently rubbed off with a special foot file. Be careful,
though. If you remove too much even more will grow
back. When shortening the nails, it is best to use nail
scissors to cut them straight across, not round and not
too short so that the nail cannot grow into the skin.
Then file the nails in the direction of growth. That seals
the cut edges.
Before moisturizing your feet you can spray them
with rose water, for example. That has a moisturizing
effect as well. Rose water is also an ideal companion
for summer shopping trips when feet quickly become
tired and swollen. Now massage in a foot cream or
body oil, put your feet up, let the moisture absorb

A balm for the feet
For the most part, minor imperfections can usually be eliminated
overnight, but anyone who wants soft, callous-free feet on a longterm basis should moisturize their feet daily. It takes about four
weeks for the effects of the treatment on the feet to become
visible, then a pumice stone is no longer necessary. The feet have
only a few sebaceous glands. As a result, the skin here rapidly becomes dry and cornification occurs. Special foot creams prevent
sweat, odors and foot fungus as well as promoting regeneration
of the skin. Ideally the cream should be applied generously each
evening before going to bed and then be allowed to absorb.
