Skincare routine: key steps
Taking care of your skin is essential, not only for achieving radiant skin that’s ready for make-up, but also for an energetic look that shines every day.
Every day the skin comes into contact with different weather conditions such as sun, rain and smog, and is also affected by stress. The skin needs to be nourished and hydrated. With small changes to your routine maintained over a period of time, you can achieve skin that’s constantly cleansed and radiant.
What is a skincare routine? A skincare routine consists of a series of simple tricks to be used every day for great results on the skin.
Well hydrated skin will appear more radiant, while a face that’s pampered and cleansed every day using appropriate skincare will be prepared for make-up. The essentials Here are the essential products that your beauty routine can’t do without:
Make-up remover, for removing make-up correctly;
Cleanser (available as a solid bar, mousse, gel or cream);
Toner, for closing pores after cleansing;
Face cream and serum, suited to your skin type.
Key skincare steps
Where to start to properly exfoliate your skin? It’s important to first mention that there are certain best practices to follow (you shouldn’t apply face cream without first cleansing the skin, for example, as the skin would not be prepared for it). This is why we talk about a ‘routine’, since some of the steps need to be followed in order and over a period of time to achieve results. As we always say, cleanser is essential (yes, even at night before you go to bed, whether you’re wearing make-up or not). Here are a few tips for adopting a good skincare routine to help you get your beauty sleep: 1. Remove make-up
2. Use a good cleanser
3. Apply toner with a cotton pad
4. Apply eye primer
5. Apply the hydrating cream that’s best suited to your skin type Whatever your skin type, you may also benefit from using an exfoliator or a moisturising mask, depending on your skin’s condition and needs (if skin appears particularly stressed or dull).
Skincare for oily skin
People with this skin type should look to balance the shiny appearance of their skin through their skincare routine and using a cleanser. Follow these steps: 1. Thoroughly remove make-up. Micellar make-up removal gel can be used for cleansing your face, eyes and lips. Ultra-practical, you can even use it in the shower! Its extremely light and easy-to-apply texture leaves the skin extra soft. 2. Cleanse your face with a gentle cleansing soap or similar. In one simple step your skin will be purified and you’ll notice a really pleasant citrus scent. 3. Apply the purifying matte-finish toner. Its super delicate and watery texture is quickly absorbed by the skin, offering extreme freshness. 4. Apply a cream. We recommend the purifying matte-finish gel cream with its light fresh texture, for giving the skin a soft-focus effect thanks to its spherical powder. Additionally, if you want to keep on top of your skin's radiance, you can carry the practical and comforting matte-finish wipes with you throughout the day. Made with particular blotting paper, they remove excess sebum with their green tea formula.
Skincare for combination skin
Combination skin requires a specific product for each part of the face, since some areas are more radiant and others are drier. With the right skincare you can comprehensively respond to your skin’s different without any problems! Here are the steps: 1. Remove make-up with micellar make-up removal water for normal to combination skin. This rapidly cleanses the skin of impurities and make-up residue. 2. Cleanse the skin with a delicate facial mousse to revitalise it. Mousse products are particularly comfortable thanks to their soft and foamy texture, making them very pleasant to apply. 3. Apply the hydrating and enveloping toner which includes hyaluronic acid. 4. Lastly, use the rapid hydration liquid face cream to conclude your skincare routine and give your skin the nourishment it needs.
Skincare for dry skin
What’s the golden rule? Nourishment and hydration. A skincare routine for this skin type needs to reinvigorate the skin, especially in areas where dried or cracked skin tends to appear. This is why specific products which nourish the skin at every step need to be used: 1. Remove make-up with micellar water: in just a few simple steps you’ll be able to cleanse the skin of make-up residue and soften it. 2. Use a face cleansing oil to easily cleanse the skin of impurities thanks to its oily texture. 3. Apply the hydrating and softening toner after cleansing to leave skin nourished. 4. Finish your skincare routine with a good hydrating cream with hyaluronic acid to suitably revitalise your skin.
