SKINCARE and BEAUTY ROUTINE for DEHYDRATED SKIN

The DAILY BEAUTY and SKIN CARE ROUTINE is essential for maintaining hydrated and healthy skin.

Here are some tips on how to hydrate your skin:

  • Reduce or suspend exfoliation to avoid further stressing the skin.
  • Avoid aggressive cleansers that can dry out the skin.
  • Instead, use gentle cleansers without chemical surfactants such as ULTRA-GENTLE CREAMY BIODETERGENT. Its formula, composed of only three ingredients, makes it a very gentle product that does not alter the skin’s hydro-lipidic barrier. Also, thanks to its creamy texture, a small amount with little water is enough to deeply cleanse the skin without foaming. These characteristics also make it an excellent makeup remover to use as an alternative to micellar water, which often tends to dry out the skin.
    Use functional substances that are already part of the skin barrier and need to be replenished.

The most important of these is hyaluronic acid, which, thanks to its high molecular weight structure, can bind a significant amount of water molecules, giving firmness to the deeper layers of the skin. Scientific studies have shown that just 0.1% of hyaluronic acid has hydrating properties. However, to introduce hyaluronic acid externally, it must have a combination of high and low molecular weight molecules. The low molecular weight allows it to better penetrate the barrier created by the hydro-lipidic film.

HYALURONIC ACID FACE SERUM is based on pure hyaluronic acid with low and high molecular weight concentrations of 1% for immediate action. It keeps the skin naturally hydrated for a long time, thanks to the higher concentration of high molecular weight. It also gives volume and smoothes expression lines with a natural and marked lifting effect thanks to the low molecular weight component.

To enhance the effect, it is essential to combine the serum, which acts on the deeper layers, with a cream that “blocks” the serum and acts on the surface layer.

The BIOCREMA RIGENERANTE CONTORNO OCCHI has a delicate formula that allows it to be used on the eye area. It also contains hyaluronic acid and sun filter, useful characteristics to prevent dehydration.

For oily skin, this dehydration treatment is sufficient. If the skin is dry, as a night treatment, a richer cream is recommended, preferably with ceramides and oils to reconstitute the lipid part of the skin barrier, and anti-aging ingredients to counteract the appearance of wrinkles.

To act on both fronts, we recommend the IMMUNO 6 face cream based on Argan Oil, Hyaluronic Acid, Resveratrol, Rhodiola Rosea, Coenzyme Q-10, Pomegranate, and Ginkgo Biloba. The active ingredients, due to their high concentration and synergistic action, fight and reduce the formation of free radicals that cause skin cell aging. They also have a marked antioxidant action and stimulate cellular renewal and microcirculation, giving dull and opaque skin a new radiance.

Alternatively, to provide nourishment and restore the skin’s lipid balance, vegetable oils are excellent, particularly ARGAN oil, which, among its characteristics, also stimulates collagen production.

SENSITIVE SKIN SKINCARE

SKINCARE e BEAUTY ROUTINE for SENSITIVE SKIN

CLEANSING: sensitive skin needs, needless to say, a cleanser that is as gentle as possible. Too aggressive detergents could alter the hydrolipidic barrier and therefore generate greater hypersensitivity to external agents. That’s why we recommend the ULTRA GENTLE CREAM BIODETRGENT. Its formula composed of only three ingredients makes it a very delicate product that does not alter the hydrolipidic barrier. Moreover, thanks to its creamy texture, a small amount with a little water is enough to deeply cleanse the skin without foaming.

TONIC: better if it contains soothing substances, to relieve redness, itching and rashes typical of sensitive skin, such as the ULTRA GENTLE FACE TONIC based on calendula and witch hazel. These two plants are known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
In particular, Calendula stimulates skin regeneration in case of eczema and irritation, as well as creating a real barrier that protects the epidermis from external aggressions.
Witch hazel, in addition to being astringent and vasoconstrictive, has a great decongestant and protective action on the microcirculation, and the extracts of this plant are used in cosmetics for reddened, irritable and couperose skin. (2)

CREAMS: After daily cleansing of the body, it is recommended to apply a generous layer of emollient, moisturizing and nourishing cream on sensitive skin: the regular application of these products on sensitive skin is extremely important both to avoid delipidation of the skin and to raise the skin tolerance threshold towards irritating external agents. (3)
As a day cream, the CAMOMILE AND CALENDULA CREAM thanks to the bisabolol and the vegetable extracts of chamomile and calendula has a soothing and calming action. Furthermore, it works by improving the function of the skin barrier leading to a normalization of the microbiota present on the skin. Its rich and nourishing texture is also an excellent ally to protect the skin especially from the winter cold.
To limit the appearance of the signs of aging, which come early for those with sensitive skin, don’t forget to nourish and moisturize your skin even during the night. VITALITY, thanks to macadamia oil, hyaluronic acid, peptides and ceramides, offers all the constituents of the hydrolipidic layer: hyaluronic acid draws water, ceramides and macadamia oil reconstitute the lipidic part. The peptides, on the other hand, nourish the underlying layer, thus giving a toning effect.

EYE CONTOUR: already a delicate area in normal skin, it should be treated even more carefully in sensitive skin. This is because the skin is much thinner in this area. For this reason it is recommended to first apply a serum, to deeply hydrate, such as the REGENERATING EYE CONTOUR SERUM. Here too we find hyaluronic acid and ceramides, accompanied by coenzyme Q10, a well-known antioxidant. To enhance the effect of the serum and act on the most superficial layer, also apply the REGENERATING EYE CONTOUR BIOCREAM: fragrance-free and with a neutral pH, this cream is designed for the most sensitive areas of the face and for the most delicate skins, both young and mature. With hyaluronic acid and UV filter.

VEGETABLE OILS? YES PLEASE!
Vegetable, 100% natural, allergen-free and cold-pressed: vegetable oils are an excellent alternative for those with extremely sensitive skin to some components of creams.
In bottles for the body, and in practical roll-on sticks to facilitate application on the face, we provide you with 3 choices: ARGAN, ROSA MOSQUETA and JOJOBA.
