24 HOURS OF GLOWING SKIN
Dr. Barbara Sturm
I’m so excited to be a Spotlight contributor for the magazine’s inaugural Art Basel issue. I’ve always loved Miami, and now that I have my own spa and boutique in the Miami Design District, I love spending time here more than ever. And with the arrival of Art Basel, it’s the perfect time to get your skin in its best shape ever.

I grew up in a small mountain village in Germany. I was interested in science and nature and decided that I wanted to be a doctor by the age of 4. I studied sports and medicine at the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf, Germany, specializing in orthopedics and helping repair injuries in athletes and aging arthritic joints with anti-inflammatory proteins. I translated this science into aesthetics, and it later became the inspiration behind my first skincare line.
My collection is a 360 approach to skincare. Over the years, I have made it my mission to create solutions for every concern, including supplements and haircare to address skin from the top down and inside out.
A STURM A.M.-to-P.M. Skincare Routine
Twice a week, I’ll either use the Facial Scrub Cream or Enzyme Cleanser in the shower on my face and body to remove dead skin cells, boost circulation, and encourage skin renewal. The rest of the time I use my Body Wash. I apply my Balancing Toner immediately after showering, then Hyaluronic Serum and the Better B Niacinamide Serum. Next, I’ll apply my Super AntiAging Face Cream.
At night, I’ll use my Super Anti-Aging Serum and my Night Serum after, which boosts the skin’s renewal process and counteracts dryness and stressed skin, and my ExosoMetic Face Serum, which supports the skin’s own natural rejuvenation mechanisms for youthful-looking skin. Next, I’ll apply my Super Anti-Aging Night Cream and Lip Balm.
If you’re looking to start a STURM routine, it needs to only include my cleanser, an exfoliator twice a week, my hyaluronic serum, and my moisturizer. You can build out your routine with other products tailored to your specific concerns later. T

DR. STURM’S FAVORITE THINGS TO DO IN MIAMI
I’ve spent a lot of time in Miami in the past 20 years, and I have so many friends here. I love the energy of the city. If I’m in Miami, here are some of the things I love to do: T Join my friend Erika on her boat for cocktails. I love catching up with friends when I’m in the area and often head to the Biscayne Bay Yacht Club, where we’ll watch the sunset. T I’ll always visit my favorite places to eat in Miami—ZZ’s Club, Mandolin Aegean
Bistro, or Casa Tua—and end the night walking through the Design District. T The last time I was in Miami I stayed at The Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club, which is a beautiful space. I always like to visit new places, so I’ll stay somewhere different every time I’m in the city. T I’m a big fan of the Design District, especially the Museum Garage, which showcases the work of different artists and designers from around the world. It’s so inspiring. T Visit my Dr. Barbara Sturm Spa & Boutique! I’m so happy to have a physical space in Miami where customers can interact with our aestheticians. I often ask for my
