Don't know any beauty tricks with Nivea cream? If there's a beauty legend that both grandmothers and granddaughters have at home, it's Nivea. For almost a century and a half, it's survived all fashion trends in its blue can - from the "sage tonic" of the 1920s to today's serums, which have a longer list of ingredients than the average diploma thesis. And what's the best? Nivea can be used as a moisturizer, mask, scrub, and more. You just need to open it with a little imagination.

Collagen is like the silent architect of your skin – it keeps the “supporting pillars” firm, elastic and flexible. But after the age of 25, it slowly starts to take a longer vacation. The result? Fine lines, lost radiance and skin that no longer holds itself as upright as you would like.
