Germans<\/a> are typically known for being a brunt force to be reckoned with in the technological and motoring arena so when it comes to beauty, not many are aware of its equally remarkable prowess. For instance, there's the German beauty brand, Alcina <\/strong>who has managed to\u00a0craft\u00a0a delicate balance between science, functionality and versatility, to deliver a rather potent solution to skincare and cosmetics.<\/p>

Inspired by femininity where even their name comes from the female-centered opera, 'Alcina' by George Handel<\/strong>, the beauty brand\u00a0was founded by\u00a0Dr Kurt Wolff<\/strong> on the sole purpose of providing 'caring makeup'. The specially coined term refers to products that not only beautify from the outside but also consists of skincare properties<\/a>, and improves one's skin condition from the inside.<\/p>

Recently launched on online retailer, Luxola<\/a>, it is now that much easier to obtain our bite of the German beauty market - within a couple of clicks away in fact. While we weren't too sure where to begin right off the bat, after a quick introduction and demo to their slew of innovative products from their experts, we can safely say we've discovered some must-have products to own in our stash.<\/p>

Now to get you started on your discovery to German beauty, here are 10 products to\u00a0add to your arsenal.<\/p>

Alcina is currently available on Luxola.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>
