The Weleda Body Care campaign urges people to treat their skin like precious jewelry pieces. What at first looks like images of three thwarted female burglars are actually creative interpretations of what skin accessories would look like. Of course, no one would want to display their skin if it was at all sagging.
Conceived and executed by Jung von Matt, an ad agency based in Stuttgart, Germany, the Weleda Body Care campaign was art directed by Cornelius Hafemeister with creative direction by Holger Oehrlich and Philipp Barth. Photographed by Kerstin Weiss, the simple images send a strong message, especially when paired with the statement, "Care for your most precious treasure: Your skin." It is a habit both men and women should adopt as soon as possible.
