Choosing skincare products that are suitable for your skin type is crucial for an effective beauty routine. There is no single product that is suitable for everyone, as each person has specific needs. There are some skin types with serious problems, such as acne-prone or hyperpigmented skin, that require precise treatments. In these cases, it’s advisable to discuss the treatment with your dermatologist or doctor in order to get the best results.
For all other skin types such as oily, dry, sensitive or mature skin, skincare can bring countless benefits.
The products that can never be missing in a beauty routine are:
Micellar water: to remove makeup and moisturize.
Cleanser: to thoroughly clean the skin and remove impurities. There are different formats such as milk cleanser, foam or cream.
Mask: applicata tra l’esfoliazione e la tonificazione, aiuta a migliapplied between exfoliation and toning, it helps improve the skin’s appearance, balancing its hydration and protecting it from atmospheric agents. There are masks for different purposes: hydrating, revitalizing, toning, detoxifying, purifying, nourishing, softening, exfoliating, and firming. Each has a specific composition and unique application methods.
Toners: to help balance the skin’s pH, hydrate, tone and prepare the skin to better absorb subsequent products. In addition, many contain active ingredients to treat specific skin problems.
Essential oils: they are an important part of many beauty routines. They can be used alone or mixed with other products such as hydrators, nutrients, antioxidants, or to treat specific skin problems, such as acne, wrinkles and dark spots.
Scrubs: products such as gommage and exfoliants that remove dead skin cells from the epidermis.
Among the cosmetics available on the market, there are also those based on thermal water, which contains minerals such as calcium, magnesium and silicon, capable of providing countless benefits to the skin.
Fossil water-based products: an unexpected ally for the skin
Products that have thermal water as their main component can help reduce irritation and maintain good hydration, as well as contain antioxidants to counteract signs of aging. There are many types of fossil waters, each with different components and properties.
For example, Il Tempio della Salute uses the thermal water of Salsomaggiore, which has precious soothing, moisturizing, and decongestant properties, to develop innovative formulations of its cosmetic products that:
offer deep oxygenation and hydration to dry and sensitive skin, or during specific periods of the year;
restore tone and softness;
stimulate the processes related to the regeneration of skin marked by external agents and time.
By integrating these cosmetics into their skincare routine, you can achieve healthy and radiant skin with specific routines for face, body and mature skin, as well as with mini routines for those who don’t have much time, but don’t want to give up pampering their skin.
What is the correct order to apply skincare products?
Skincare is an art that requires careful attention and dedication. One of the most crucial, yet often overlooked aspects is the order of skincare, or the sequence in which we apply products in a skincare routine.
Indeed, this order is not random but follows a specific logic, inspired by the traditional Asian technique of “layering”. This practice emphasizes the importance of applying cosmetic products in successive layers, starting with the lighter textures, such as toners, and progressing towards denser and richer products, like creams and oils. This ensures that each product is deeply absorbed, allowing the skin to fully benefit from each ingredient’s properties.
Therefore, while each routine has its steps, which can vary in number, the typical skincare order to follow is:
Makeup removal with a gentle makeup remover
Cleansing with a cleanser suitable for your skin type
Exfoliation using a scrub or gommage
Application of a gentle toner
Application of a serum specific to your skin type
Use of any specific treatments
Hydration of the eye area with creams specifically for that zone
Hydration of the face and body with a moisturizing cream
Application of a sunscreen cream (in the morning and every two hours during prolonged sun exposure)
