A foolproof skincare routine to create the skin you've always dreamed of

No matter how good your genetics, it's not enough to be born with fantastic skin to always be radiant. You need to take care of it. Nourish and protect it. And you have to realize that beautiful, healthy skin is something that depends on you. Yes, it is possible to "create" the skin you've always dreamed of if you adopt healthy habits and follow your skincare routine consistently, with the right products.

Where beautiful skin begins

As with everything, skin health and beauty are based on factors linked to our lifestyle: the hours we sleep, the amount of water we drink, the stress we live under, the way we eat and the levels of pollution we are exposed to. In addition to all this, and regardless of our skin type, it's essential to follow a simple, easy-to-apply daily skincare routine to keep our skin always in shape and radiant.

But how do we put this routine into action? There's no point in having an arsenal of beauty products, including miraculous masks, scrubs and peels, if we don't follow these three magic steps: cleanse, tone and moisturize. They're a sort of "no brainer" for the skincare routine, simple, quick and super effective, especially if you stick to them consistently (that's what routines are for: they create good habits).

Know your skin type

But first, the basics. It all starts with knowing your skin type. Essentially, there are 4 skin types: very dry to dry (skin type 1), combination to dry (skin type 2), combination to oily (skin type 3) and oily (skin type 4). Understanding your skin's characteristics, its behavior (for example, how does your skin feel in the morning? And in the middle of the day?), listening to your skin and respecting it is the first step towards achieving the skin you've always dreamed of. This way, you'll be able to find the products best suited to your skin, which is unique and unrepeatable, as we know, and use them in your daily routine.

1. Clean skin, beautiful skin

That's right. Amazing skin starts with clean skin. This is the first step in an infallible skincare routine, and our recommendation is to use a cleansing oil, which cleanses deeply, removing make-up, pollution and impurities, without damaging the skin. Cleanse your skin morning and night with a 100% organic cotton facial towel, and fear not, even the oiliest skin will appreciate this deep, gentle cleansing. A cotton towel will gently exfoliate the skin, leaving it ready for the next step.

type 1: Jasmine Cleansing Oil and Make-up Remover

type 2: Jasmine Cleansing and Make-up Removing Oil

type 3: Camellia Cleansing and Make-up Removing Oil

type 4: Camellia Cleansing and Make-up Removing Oil

Try our make-up remover cleansing oil Jasmineand if you have more sensitive and reactive skin, discover ours, Camelliawith camellia japonica, which cleanses the skin without damaging it and also helps to balance the pH. Cleanse your skin morning and night with the 100% organic cotton facial towel, and fear not, even the oiliest skin will appreciate this deep, gentle cleansing.

2. Essence

The next step is the essence, which serves to calm and refresh the skin, while preparing it for the next stage, helping the serum, with its active botanicals, to penetrate the skin well. Each essence has a specific role (for example, to calm and control oiliness, or to leave the skin super fresh and radiant), so you should choose the one that best suits your skin type.

type 1: Rose Essence e Revitalizing Essence

type 2: Watermelon Essence, Revitalizing Essence e Radiant Essence

type 3: Orange Blossom Essence e Radiant Essence

type 4: Cucumber Essence, Witch Hazel Essence e Radiant Essence

3. Pampering the eyes

The eyes are a super sensitive area that requires special care, and we often forget how important they are. To give your eyes the attention they deserve, and regardless of your skin type, you'll want to try the Effective: Lifting Effect Concentrated Serumfor the eye contour (and other delicate areas, such as the skin around the mouth).

4. Nourish the skin

Here comes the highlight: the facial serum, which is a real vitamin for the skin and can be applied morning and night, always on clean skin. It is in this beauty concentrate that all the botanical active ingredients we use are revealed in all their splendor. As it penetrates our skin, the skin absorbs each of the ingredients, making the most of all the botanical actives present in the formula, which is why it is so important to prepare the skin well beforehand (cleansing and essence) so that it is receptive to all these wonders. Once again, choosing the right serum depends on your skin type, as each formula will meet different needs. Here are our suggestions:

Type 1: Detox Serum e Revitalize Serum

type 2: Serum Puro Sol, Revitalizing Serum, Radiant Serum e Sculpt Serum

type 3: Illuminating Serum, Radiant Serum e Sculpt Serum

type 4: Repair Serum, Cosmic Night Serum e Radiant Serum

5. Moisturize and care

And finally, the cream. That delight for the skin, in the right dose, and adapted to the specific needs of each skin type and even specific areas. Even those with combination or oily skin shouldn't skip this step. This is because when it becomes dehydrated, oily skin tends to produce more sebum in order to become more moisturized, and this creates the opposite effect!

Unlike serum, which penetrates the skin, moisturizing cream stays more on the surface. In addition to its moisturizing and nourishing functions, the cream will act on very specific issues, such as blemishes or skin aging. Finding the right moisturizer that responds to your skin's needs and leaves it happy, without overreacting, is the key.

Type 1: Regenera Cream e Revitalizing Cream 

Type 2: Regenerating Cream, Revitalizing Cream e Radiant Cream

Type 3: Regenerating Cream e Radiant Cream

Type 4: Regenerating Cream e Radiant Cream

Find the cream your skin needs: Radiante, a fabulous anti-dark spot cream with bakuchiol, the natural alternative to retinol, is excellent for improving skin texture and promoting regeneration by stimulating collagen production. If you're looking for a delicious anti-aging product, try Revitalize Anti-Aging Creamwith vitamin C, A and enzymes, to firm and redensify the skin, with an incredible texture.

6. Protect

One last, very important tip to do every morning: protect your skin from UVA/UVB rays. Photo-ageing is the main cause of wrinkles and spots on the skin, so you can't be too careful. To enjoy all the light and heat from the sun (and other sources of unwanted light, such as computer screens) and still be protected and radiant at all times, we recommend our Puro Sol Zincsun milk with SPF 30+ protection, with anti-aging action that promotes a luminous tan. Formulated with botanical active ingredients and non-nano zinc, it combines the best of both worlds: intensive repair and sun protection.
