New ingenuity in the world of beauty and healthcare Spending a great deal of money on anti-ageing products without getting any results? Those days are over now. With the innovative products of APRICOT, one can easily get rid of bothersome wrinkles. TEXT & PHOTOS: APRICOT GMBH | TRANSLATION: INA FRANK
Verena Jäger, founder and managing director of APRICOT GmbH, addressed herself to an ambitious task: creating new, exceptional anti-ageing products that actually have an effect. With the ‘Silicone care’ Anti-wrinkle Silicone-Pad and the ‘Apricot Skin’Anti-wrinkle Facial Patches, she has proven that there are effective ways to reduce wrinkles. The skin and its underlying muscles are tightened and relaxed manually, without the use of chemicals. On the décolleté, the silicone pad is applied overnight and tightens the skin to prevent it from crumbling. Side sleepers should particularly take a fancy to this product. Giving the products a try is well worth it: the development of new wrinkles
is stopped and one wakes up in the morning with a rejuvenated look. Overall, it might sound too good to be true – but the young entrepreneur Verena Jäger can already count on tens of thousands of satisfied customers. Nevertheless, she does not rest on her laurels: “We are planning to create even more products, so that there will be an effective and affordable treatment option for every problem zone soon,”Jäger announces. The products can be purchased online and in selected perfumeries. www.apricot-shop.com/en Portrait: Verena Jäger
