When we see well-cared-for skin, we always wonder, “How does someone get skin like that?” We might be surprised to learn that many times there isn’t a miracle product responsible for those results, but rather consistency in a daily beauty routine based on cleansing and moisturizing, combined with a healthy lifestyle, which is directly reflected in the skin.
Let’s look at some tips for achieving radiant skin:
1. Keep your skin clean
Daily skin cleansing is fundamental, and this step is one of the essentials we should do every night to have beautiful skin, even if we haven’t worn makeup.
There are countless products on the market, but it’s also important to choose the one that’s easiest for you to apply, since it should be done every day.
At Amazon, for example, we have Micellar Water, one of the great discoveries of recent years and probably one of the most protective for the skin, as well as a Cherry Cleansing Mousse and an Olive Water Toner. We also have the Purifying Cleansing Milk, which, although more recommended for removing makeup, leaves skin very clean and hydrated and is highly recommended for dry skin.
All of them can be used to remove makeup, but for heavier makeup, it’s better to use the Cleansing Milk or Mousse.
2. Don’t forget the exfoliation step
Exfoliating your skin is very important for deeply cleansing pores, and it’s recommended to do so once or twice a week. It’s also perfect as a preliminary step before applying an intensive treatment. For the body, we recommend the Cherry Pit and Sea Salt Exfoliating Gel, because it’s applied in the shower like a gel but exfoliates at the same time, making it very convenient.
You can also use the Exfoliating Gel with EVOO, which leaves your skin very soft and silky, as well as the Exfoliating Olive Bone Soap or the Handmade Fig and Wheat Soap, which are very good for this purpose.
3. Take care of sensitive areas
There are delicate areas that require special care, such as the eye contour, lips, and hands. Protect and care for them daily with specialized products.
4. The hands, the great forgotten ones
The skin on our hands takes a lot of damage because it’s so exposed. Try to moisturize them and wash them with soaps that don’t leave them dry.
In summer, it’s important to apply hand creams with sun protection, like La Chinata’s, made with organic extra virgin olive oil, as well as our honey and extra virgin olive oil creams.
We also wash our hands very often every day, so it’s important to choose soaps that care for them, like our range of soaps with extra virgin olive oil, or our Hand Care Pack, which adds hydration to your cleansing routine.
5. The eyes
It’s a very delicate area and needs special treatment. To remove makeup, you should use a product specifically formulated for this area, as well as a moisturizer, such as our Dermopurifying Eye Makeup Remover or our Eye Contour Cream with Olive Extract .
6. The lips
Lips face daily exposure to weather changes and external factors, so proper hydration is crucial to prevent dryness. Always carry lip balms with you, such as La Chinata’s repairing balm or the one with extra virgin olive oil or honey.
And if you prefer a touch of shine, the cherry and extra virgin olive oil balms are perfect.
7. Hydrates the Skin
Moisturizing your skin is the last step after exfoliating and cleansing. A trick to give it radiance and a healthier appearance is to apply serum before your moisturizer. You’ll notice the difference.
However, depending on whether it’s day or night, you should use a different cream. The difference? One contains sun protection, and the other doesn’t, and some of the active ingredients that protect the skin from external factors also differ. Similarly, night creams often include repairing and restructuring components.
8. Take care of your diet
We are what we eat, and a healthy diet is undoubtedly reflected in our skin. To care for it on the outside, we must care for it on the inside, and it is recommended, above all, to drink plenty of water and add extra virgin olive oil, mushrooms, carrots, tomatoes, dark chocolate, herbal teas, and oily fish such as sardines, tuna, or bonito to our diet.
This way, our skin will be radiant!
