How to recognize your skin type
Recognizing your skin type is the first step to creating a personalized skincare program that meets your needs. The skin is the largest organ of our body, it protects us from external agents and makes us recognizable from everyone: did you know that every skin is unique and has its own characteristic odor? Skin type is mainly determined at the genetic level, but the condition of the skin can be influenced by several factors such as : age change of season time of day diet stress hormones Let's see together how to recognize your skin type and learn to recognize the different types of skin. How to recognize your skin type? How to recognize oily skin? Oily seborrheic skin Oily greasy skin Impure oily skin with acne proneness Combination skin Oily asphyxiated skin How to recognize dry or sensitive skin? How to recognize normal skin? How to recognize your skin type? To get a first idea of your skin type you can do a very quick and easy test . Take a cotton pad and wipe it over your dry face : if there are traces of oil on the pad, your skin is probably oily or combination. If the pad remains clean, you probably have normal or dry skin. We can then do a more in-depth test to recognize the skin type . I recommend doing this test when you are at home relaxing, on a cool day where you are not likely to sweat. Cleanse your face with cleansing milk, so as not to dry your skin. Rinse thoroughly and pat your skin dry. Do not apply anything to your face for 30 minutes and proceed to observe your skin. How to recognize oily skin? You can recognize oily skin by the widespread layer of sebum that makes it oily. You can recognize this type of skin like this: it is greasy to the touch and leaves an oily residue on the fingers; there are blackheads, whiteheads and pimples all over the face; the pores are dilated and clearly visible; the skin is dull and opaque. Despite the excess sebum, this is a very delicate skin type that needs a thorough but respectful and delicate cleansing. Oily skin can be of different types, with different needs and characteristics. Oily seborrheic skin In this type of skin, sebum production is intense and continuous and leads to dilation of the pores, especially on the cheeks and cheekbones, which generates an "orange peel" skin. If you have this type of skin, a medical consultation is necessary to understand what is causing the hyperproduction of sebum . Once you understand the origin of the problem, it will be easy to understand the right path to solve it at the root. Oily greasy skin Even in this type of oily skin, sebum production is increased, but it is a fluid and oily sebum that gives the skin a shiny appearance. In these cases, you can use a skincare for oily skin with an abstinent, purifying and sebum-regulating action. Impure oily skin with acne proneness In this type of skin, there is an imbalance in the skin microbiota and the "good" bacteria are unable to counteract the action of pathogenic bacteria such as Propionibacterium acnes, the bacterium responsible for acne. In this case I recommend a skincare product for acne-prone skin, which purifies the skin and reduces inflammation. Combination skin In the case of combination skin, we find areas on the face with different characteristics: there are areas that tend to be oily (the famous "T-zone": forehead, nose, chin) and dry areas. In the T-zone, the skin appears shiny and tends to form blackheads and impurities; on the cheeks, however, the skin is dry and tight and rosacea may be present. Skincare for combination skin includes soothing products for the entire face and localized treatments with a purifying action such as pure active ingredients and boosters. Oily asphyxiated skin Asphyxiated skin produces waxy, compact sebum that cannot escape from the follicles. The surface layer of the skin appears dry and lacking in hydration; the occlusion of the follicles causes the accumulated sebum to form whiteheads, pimples or sebaceous cysts. Asphyxiated skin is difficult to recognize, precisely because of the contrasting symptoms: dry to the touch, but impure, shiny and oily. Asphyxiated skin can be caused by hormonal disorders, an incorrect lifestyle or even the use of cosmetics that are not suitable for your skin or a skincare routine that is too aggressive. Skincare for asphyxiated skin is delicate but enriched with exfoliating and balancing active ingredients, to combat skin thickening, accumulations of dead cells and impurities. How to recognize dry or sensitive skin? You can recognize dry skin by the sensation of skin that "tightens" after cleansing; this type of skin needs to be nourished and protected with the right cosmetics, since the amount of sebum it can produce is not enough to keep it elastic and healthy. Dry skin can be of two different types: dehydrated skin , caused by the lack of natural hydrating factors, which help retain water. You can recognize it by the feeling of tension on the face and the lack of elasticity, by the dry appearance and the tendency to crack. It can present blackheads and blemishes. alipidic skin , caused by the lack of epidermal lipids which form the skin's protective barrier. You can recognize it by its delicate, thin texture, with almost invisible pores, the sensation of tension and itching. Blackheads and blemishes are very rare, but there may be fine wrinkles and redness due to changes in climate or psycho-physical stress. The skincare routine for dry skin is gentle, soothing and rich in hydrating active ingredients (such as Hyaluronic Acid and NMF) and ingredients that help the skin restore its natural barrier function. Sensitive skin is a reactive and delicate skin, which often presents redness, irritation and rashes. All it takes is the wrong cleanser to irritate the skin and feel uncomfortable. The skincare routine for sensitive skin includes hydrating products, but above all nourishing and soothing, with ingredients that actively protect it from stress. How to recognize normal skin? Normal skin is very rare among adults, due to hormonal influences, hectic lifestyles, poor diet and many other factors that, as we have seen, affect the health of the skin. Normal skin is skin that does not present any of the problems we have seen for oily skin or dry skin: the production of sebum is regular, the skin does not tighten and appears smooth and even. Even after cleansing it remains soft, the pores are of normal size and imperfections are rare and occasional. Skincare for normal skin is gentle and hydrating, to preserve the natural well-being of your skin. Now that you know your skin type, it's time to find the right skincare routine for you .

Do it yourself facial cleansing at home
Do-it-yourself facial cleansing allows you to take care of your skin, removing blackheads, dead cells and impurities to keep your skin healthy and glowing. We know the importance of daily facial cleansing: in the morning and in the evening we must always eliminate impurities, smog and makeup residues using specific products for each skin type, but a perfect skincare routine must include a deep facial cleansing done consistently, at least at every change of season! Facial cleansing at home: the steps For a good DIY facial cleansing, six simple but fundamental steps are enough: Cleanse your skin to perfection Open the pores of your facial skin with the use of steam Scrub or exfoliant to remove dead cells and impurities Face mask suitable for your skin type Tonic or hydrolate Let's hydrate! Cleanse your skin to perfection Remove makeup with a gentle, oil-based makeup remover like Yuniwa Cosmetics Cleansing Balm, which removes all makeup residue from the face and eyes. Even if you don't wear makeup, massage it all over your face as the first step of a double cleansing : the oils contained in this product will bind to the sebum and impurities of the skin for a deeper cleansing. Next, use a gentle foaming cleanser to complete the cleansing process by removing any last traces of make-up and impurities. Open the pores of your facial skin with the use of steam You can do a deep cleansing of the skin by dilating the pores. Put a pot of water to boil, in a pot that is not high, better a medium sized one and not too high. When it starts to boil, remove from heat and add a couple of tablespoons of baking soda. Place your face over the pot and cover your head with a towel to avoid losing heat. Stay in position for about 10-15 minutes. After the treatment, our pores will be nice and dilated and ready for the scrub and welcome the mask! Scrub or exfoliant to remove dead cells and impurities The third step involves a scrub or exfoliant to remove dead cells and all impurities! Apply the scrub or exfoliant to your skin , gently massaging it all over your face, avoiding the eye area. The difference between a scrub and an enzymatic exfoliant is that the former acts mechanically, therefore it eliminates dead cells thanks to micro-granules that have a mechanical action; the peeling, on the other hand, removes dead cells thanks to acids or enzymes and is an ideal treatment if you have very sensitive skin that cannot tolerate granules. After exfoliating, you can remove any blackheads by using two cotton pads to gently squeeze them. Little secret: if your skin is soft enough after steaming and scrubbing, you don't need to squeeze, but just pull your skin slightly to open the pores and let the excess sebum out. Face mask suitable for your skin type Now it's time for the face mask, choose one that suits your skin: if you have combination skin, you can also try multimasking, applying different masks on the areas of the face according to your needs! If you have oily and impure skin, an illuminating face mask is a must-have in your beauty case. which regulates sebum production, purifies the skin and combats redness. If you have dry and sensitive skin, choose a detox and antioxidant face mask, which reduces redness and inflammation and protects the skin from dryness and irritation. Want to brighten dull skin ? Try a vitamin C mask that gives light and vitality, recharging the skin with new energy! Always respect the application times indicated on the package, remove the excess with a sea sponge and rinse all residues well. Apply toner The toner has an astringent effect on the pores and allows us to retain the nutrients, active ingredients and hydration that we have offered to our skin with the mask. Gently pat the toner into your skin until completely absorbed. Hydration Finish by applying your face cream or serum and also your eye and lip contour! Apply these last products with a nice facial massage, for a moment of total relaxation. Proceed with circular movements starting from the chin and moving towards the forehead to reactivate the microcirculation and promote natural cell regeneration. If your face is swollen, now is the right time to try a draining self-massage! Want an extra dose of hydration? Try the 7 Skin Method! Want to learn more about skincare?

Skin Spots: How to Prevent and Eliminate Them
Skin spots, skin discolorations, can be of different types: dark spots due to hyper-pigmentation, red spots after a pimple or white spots. Skin blemishes have various causes and various treatments that we will see together in this article: Causes of Skin Spots What are the types of skin blemishes? Senile lentigo Freckles and ephelides Melasma and Chloasma Post-pimple spots White spots on the skin How to remove skin blemishes Causes of Skin Spots Skin spots can be of different colors and are mainly linked to melanin: depending on its quantity, they can be more or less dark. Spots begin to form when melanin is not evenly distributed and therefore tends to create spots of different colors, such as brown spots, black spots or even white spots. Skin spots can be linked for example to: genetic factors , as in the case of freckles and lentigines; hormonal factors , such as melasma and chloasma (the "mask of pregnancy"); irritants , which can cause red spots to appear; skin diseases , such as rosacea, vitiligo, pityriasis; drugs and medical treatments , which in some cases can stain the skin; age, senile lentigines; UV damage, solar lentigo. What are the types of skin blemishes? The most common skin blemishes are the Senile lentigo spots of variable color and size that appear on the face, hands, arms and in general on the areas most exposed to the sun. Very similar in appearance are senile lentigines , also called age spots because they are among the symptoms of skin aging, and can worsen with sun exposure, stress, smoking and an unbalanced lifestyle. Senile lentigo Other very common stains are Freckles and ephelides , small spots on the skin of the face that have a genetic origin. Their color can vary slightly between summer and winter, due to sun exposure. Freckles Melasma and Chloasma They are dark spots on the skin caused by hormonal changes : estrogens can in fact affect the activity of melanocytes and alter the production of melanin. These types of skin spots are often found in those taking medications such as birth control pills, hormone replacement therapy, or in menopausal women. It is precisely the activity of hormones that causes this type of gray or brown spots to appear even during pregnancy : this is why they are also called pregnancy spots or pregnancy masks. Melasma We can then have red spots, usually Post-pimple spots . Post-pimple spots appear especially in cases where we have squeezed the pimple and can last from 3 months to a year. Our body increases the blood flow to the area of the lesion, to promote healing and this causes this redness; if the inflammation increases, for example due to aggressive treatments, the spots can transform from red to dark due to the production of melanin. Red spots after pimple We can also find white spots on the skin, which can be caused by excessive exposure to the sun, but also due to autoimmune diseases such as vitiligo or infection by certain fungi. White spots on the skin How to remove skin blemishes When we talk about spots on the skin of the face and body, the ideal would be a good prevention with correct sun exposure and the use of sunscreens with SPF 50 all year round, to protect against the damage of UV rays. {"layoutMobile":2,"layoutDesktop":3,"buttonAlign":"Center","buttonText":"Go to product","productTitle":{"hue":213,"saturation":0,"brightness":0,"alpha":1},"priceColor":{"hue":0,"saturation":1,"brightness":0},"discountPrice":{"hue":356,"saturation":0.74,"brightness":1},"buttonCo lor":{"hue":26.67,"saturation":0.037,"brightness":0.9529,"alpha":1},"textBottomColor":{"hue":0,"satu ration":0,"brightness":0.018750000000000044,"alpha":1},"activeTitleButton":false,"moreProduct":"View all","moreProductUrl":"cesbgg-kq.myshopify.com","rowNumber":1,"dynamicProductId":[{"id":"gid://shopify/Product/14977534656898","title":"Fluido Solare Viso Roll-On SPF 50+ con Protezione Alta","currencyCode":"EUR","price":"20.00","compareAtPrice":null,"imagesUrl":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0906/5329/4978/files/fluido-solare-viso-roll-on-spf-50-con-protezione-alta-domus-olea-739.webp?v=1752540981&width=600","urlStore":"https://www.yumibio.com/products/fluido-solare-viso-roll-on-spf-50-con-protezione-alta","altImage":"Fluido Solare Viso Roll-On SPF 50 + con Protezione Alta - Domus Olea Toscana"},{"id":"gid://shopify/Product/14977535934850","title":"Fluido Solare SPF 50 Viso","currencyCode":"EUR","price":"23.70","compareAtPrice":null,"imagesUrl":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0906/5329/4978/files/fluido-solare-spf-50-viso-essere-yumibio-786.webp?v=1752487941&width=600","urlStore":"https://www.yumibio.com/products/fluido-solare-spf-50-viso","altImage":"Fluido Solare SPF 50 Viso - Essere"},{"id":"gid://shopify/Product/14976909541762","title":"Sun Crystal Stick SPF 50+ per Aree Sensibili e Tatuaggi","currencyCode":"EUR","price":"21.51","compareAtPrice":"23.90","imagesUrl":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0906/5329/4978/files/sun-crystal-stick-spf-50-per-aree-sensibili-e-tatuaggi-namalei-647.png?v=1751232579&width=600","urlStore":"https://www.yumibio.com/products/sun-crystal-stick-spf-50-per-aree-sensibili-e-tatuaggi","altImage":""},{"id":"gid://shopify/Product/14977494712706","title":"Emulsione Protezione Solare Viso SPF 50+ per Pelle Chiara e Chiarissima","currencyCode":"EUR","price":"24.90","compareAtPrice":null,"imagesUrl":"https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0906/5329/4978/files/emulsione-protezione-solare-viso-spf-50-per-pelle-chiara-222.png?v=1751259576&width=600","urlStore":"https://www.yumibio.com/products/emulsione-protezione-solare-viso-spf-50-per-pelle-chiara-e-chiarissima","altImage":""}],"typeSearch":"product","device":"desktop","decimalsPrice":2,"aspectRatio":"3 / 4","isAutoPlay":false,"isNavigation":false,"isPriceDisplay":false,"rowDynamic":"mot","activeDecimals":false,"hidden":false,"locked":false,"positionPrice":false,"currencyCodeCustom":"$","activeDynamicProd":true,"blockName":"Product"} Fluido Solare Viso Roll-On SPF 50+ con Protezione Alta EUR 20.00 Go to product Fluido Solare SPF 50 Viso EUR 23.70 Go to product Sun Crystal Stick SPF 50+ per Aree Sensibili e Tatuaggi EUR 21.51 EUR 23.90 Go to product Emulsione Protezione Solare Viso SPF 50+ per Pelle Chiara e Chiarissima EUR 24.90 Go to product In the case of white spots on the skin , I recommend that you contact a dermatologist as soon as possible who will be able to indicate the most suitable treatment for the type of spots.

What is Vitamin C for in Skincare and How to Use It
Vitamin C is your ally in skincare to fight wrinkles and blemishes and give you smooth, luminous and even skin. Find out what vitamin C is used for in skincare, how to use it, what its forms are and what are the best cosmetics based on Vitamin C! The Benefits of Vitamin C in Cosmetics Vitamin C in skincare cosmetics is an ingredient with antioxidant action , which protects the skin from damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are substances produced by our body, which are responsible for oxidative stress, one of the main causes of skin aging. These substances are naturally neutralized by our body, but after the age of 25 the skin's ability to neutralize them decreases and free radical accumulations can occur, causing wrinkles, blemishes and loss of tone. Vitamin C is also excellent for counteracting the damage caused by sun exposure and helps stimulate the synthesis of collagen , the protein that gives tone and elasticity to our skin. Vitamin C for cosmetic use is also excellent in the treatment and prevention of hyperpigmentation skin blemishes , caused by the uneven distribution of melanin. How to use Vitamin C for your face One of the first sources of Vitamin C for your skin comes from food, so remember to always eat fresh fruit and vegetables and include foods rich in this nutrient in your diet, such as citrus fruits, kiwi, apples, pineapple, grapes, spinach. We can then use skincare products with Vitamin C, such as serums, boosters or face creams. Remember that in all cases, to obtain benefits, it is necessary to use your cosmetics consistently and daily. If you choose a vitamin C face serum , apply 3-5 drops to clean skin and pat until fully absorbed. If you prefer a vitamin C facial booster, you can use it pure as if it were a serum or add 2-3 drops to your face cream at the time of use. Don't forget to apply your cosmetic to your neck and décolleté too! What is the best vitamin C for skin? As I always tell you, there is no best product but there is the right cosmetic for you! Cosmetics with vitamin C are not all the same and not all have the same action: the properties of each product vary based on the form of Vitamin C that is used in each formulation. Pure Vitamin C is in fact very unstable and delicate , which can quickly degrade and become less effective.

Alternative Hair Washes: How to Wash Your Hair Without Shampoo
Alternative hair washes are a way to wash your hair without shampoo and are the perfect solution when you need to wash your hair often. If you sweat a lot, are often at the gym or if it's summer and you need to wash your hair more often, alternative washes are the perfect solution to keep your hair protected, soft and hydrated. In fact, shampoos, even the most delicate and natural ones, have a high cleansing power that is not necessary if you wash your hair very often. Using shampoo too often can make your hair brittle, dull, and more prone to breakage and split ends; it can also make your scalp more sensitive and irritated, more prone to producing dandruff and excess sebum. In this article I will tell you about the easiest and most effective alternative washes to use. In this article we talk about: Washing your hair without shampoo: the co-wash How do you co-wash? Alternative washing: low poo Wash your hair with Ayurvedic herbs Aritha Shikakai Sidr Ghassoul Washing your hair without shampoo: the co-wash Co-wash is a very delicate alternative wash that features conditioner as the main ingredient. This type of wash is perfect for all hair types, but works best on dry, frizzy, arid and curly hair that needs pampering and hydration. How do you co-wash? When I first started dealing with organic cosmetics, there was only one way to do it: by adding sugar to a light and possibly inexpensive conditioner! These first co-washes often left the skin feeling dirty because they often didn't use products with surfactants which therefore left the skin greasy and oily. Furthermore, sugar often created micro-lesions on the skin and it was difficult to rinse it well without residue, especially on long hair. There were also those who were more daring and added bicarbonate, a practice that is absolutely not recommended for maintaining healthy skin! Fortunately, the world of organic and natural cosmetics has evolved and specific products for co-wash have been created, designed to cleanse delicately. As I anticipated, co-wash has an extremely delicate cleansing power; for this reason it does not foam and it is necessary to learn to massage and rinse the product well to have good results. I recommend applying the product to well-wet skin, distributing small amounts of product to various areas of the head. Especially if you have very long or thick hair, be very careful to apply the product to the scalp and not to the hair . The areas that are usually easiest to forget are those of the temples and the nape of the neck, make sure you have applied the product there too and massaged it well into the skin. I find that washing my hair upside down is easier when I co-wash, it allows me to reach the scalp more easily and massage better. Use the right amount of product , approximately equal to a cup of coffee: using less product would further reduce the cleansing power and increase the risk of greasy skin. Another tip for making the best use of co-wash is to give the product time to work : after massaging the product well over the entire head, leave it on for at least 5 minutes, then emulsify with a little water and massage for another couple of minutes . Now you can rinse, taking care to remove all product residue. To co-wash my hair, I use Yuniwa Cosmetics Co-Wash , a cleansing conditioner rich in strengthening and antioxidant active ingredients. BUY NOW Alternative washing: low poo If co-washing isn't enough for your hair and you prefer a treatment with a higher cleansing power but still gentle on your scalp and hair, you can use a low-poo product. This type of product is halfway between shampoo and co-wash : it has an intermediate cleansing power, obtained thanks to the use of delicate surfactants that respect the skin and hair. Low-poo products also produce little foam, so it's important to make sure you massage and rinse well when using. Yuniwa Cosmetics Strengthening Cream Shampoo is formulated with super-delicate cleansing active ingredients, it helps you gradually reduce the fragility of the hair fiber, counteracting dullness, frizz, knots and split ends. It soothes irritation and dryness of the scalp, for the total well-being of the hair. BUY NOW Wash your hair with Ayurvedic herbs Ayurvedic herbs are medicinal plants used in Ayurveda, the traditional Indian medicine. Many of these herbs can also be used in cosmetics, providing numerous benefits to the skin and hair. Among Ayurvedic herbs, there are some that have a fair amount of cleansing power and can therefore be used for alternative, delicate and healing washes. Specifically, there are 4 Ayurvedic herbs that you can use as an alternative wash, let's see them together. Aritha Aritha has cleansing, antibacterial, antifungal and anti-dandruff properties, cleanses the hair leaving it soft and hydrated. It is indicated for greasy hair, with dandruff or to prevent itching . You can prepare aritha by mixing little powder with warm water. Apply it on damp hair and leave it for about 10 - 15 minutes. Then rinse it off with warm water. BUY ARITHA Shikakai Shikakai has excellent cleansing properties and helps strengthen the bulbs, stimulates growth and combats hair loss. It also does not change the pH of the hair and gives volume and shine to the hair. Suitable for weak, fine, greasy hair, hair with dandruff or sensitive and irritated scalp. To prepare a natural hair cleanser based on shikakai, combine 1 or 2 tablespoons of powder with hot water until you obtain a smooth, lump-free cream, to be applied from the roots to the lengths. Massage the product with your fingertips and leave on for about 10 - 15 minutes. After this time, rinse with warm water and proceed to dry your hair which will be soft, clean and light. BUY SHIKAKAI Sidr Sidr is a powder rich in saponins, minerals, vitamins and mucilages that cleanse the hair and give nourishment and body to the hair . It is a non-foaming powder that washes the hair very well, purifies the scalp and fights dandruff. You can prepare your alternative hair wash with sidr by combining the powder with warm water until you obtain a creamy mixture. Apply the sidr to wet hair, spreading it evenly and leave it on for about 10-15 minutes. Then rinse with warm water and enjoy your clean, soft, light, hydrated and untangled hair. BUY SIDR Ghassoul Ghassoul is an alternative wash recommended for all hair types, even in cases of seborrheic dermatitis, as it regulates sebum production and helps combat dry or excessively oily skin. Prepare the Ghassoul with hot water and let it rest for a few minutes. Then use it to wash your hair, just like a normal shampoo, massaging the scalp with your fingertips to help absorb the active ingredients. Leave the clay to act for about 5 minutes and then rinse, taking particular care to remove all residues thoroughly. BUY GHASSOUL

Eye contour: how to combat wrinkles, bags and dark circles
The eye contour is a very delicate area of the face, where the signs of aging are visible earlier than on the rest of the face. Imperfections such as wrinkles, bags and dark circles can make your eyes look tired and dull, but there are some natural remedies to combat imperfections around your eyes and have a relaxed and rested look. What is eye contour? The eye contour is the area of the face that surrounds our eyes , the area that contours the eye and follows the ocular and zygomatic bone. We can also include the temples due to the characteristics of the epidermis. This area of the body has particular characteristics, which make it different from the rest of the face. The skin here is very very thin , there is little subcutaneous fat and blood and lymph circulation is much slower than the rest of the face. The skin also has a different structure: the sebaceous glands , which help keep the skin soft and hydrated, are very few, as are the elastin and collagen fibres which serve to maintain the tone and elasticity of the skin. Due to these characteristics, the skin appears dry, tends to mark easily and dark circles and bags caused by fluid retention may appear. Furthermore, the skin around the eyes is constantly exposed to atmospheric agents and UV rays which accelerate the skin aging process. What are the imperfections around the eyes? Bags, dark circles and wrinkles are the most common blemishes around the eyes, let's learn to recognize them. Bags: Bags are swellings of the eyelids that tend to worsen in certain situations (stress, insomnia, cigarette smoking, alcohol, water retention). As time passes, when the skin begins to lose elastin and collagen, the skin around the eyes loses tone and the fluids that stagnate in this area can deposit in the skin tissues, creating the typical swellings. Rings under the eyes: Dark circles are dark spots caused by the slowing of lymphatic and venous microcirculation: the stagnation of liquids, blood, melanin and oxidized hemoglobin gives the skin the typical purple-bluish color in the area around the eyes. Dark circles can also form at an early age, but as time passes, dark circles tend to become more evident because the skin around the eyes becomes thinner and microcirculation worsens. Wrinkles: Think about how many movements your eyes make every day! The 20 muscles surrounding this area make over 10,000 movements throughout the day, but they are also the cause of the formation of wrinkles and expression lines following the loss and reduction of collagen and elastin in the skin due to the slowing down of cellular turnover. How to prevent wrinkles, bags and dark circles? A proper skincare routine helps you protect the eye contour area and prevent the signs of aging. Include a good eye contour cream in your routine, morning and evening, starting at age 25, to keep the area hydrated and healthy without making it greasy. To take care of the eye contour, choose cosmetics with hydrating, nourishing, antioxidant, restorative and elasticizing active ingredients to prevent and combat the formation of wrinkles or with draining, circulation-stimulating and capillary-protecting active ingredients (caffeine, blueberry, butcher's broom, centella asiatica) to combat bags and dark circles. If you are looking for a natural eye contour cream that acts on wrinkles, bags and dark circles, you can use the Yuniwa Cosmetics Eye Contour Cream Mask A natural eye contour cream, formulated to respect a fragile and delicate area of the face.

Buy Now How to apply eye contour To apply the eye contour, be very delicate: the area is delicate and has thin skin, it should not be rubbed! Apply a few dots of cream on the contour, following the line of the orbital bone, and dab with the ring finger and/or the little finger, to ensure the right pressure to massage but not too hard. Proceed until completely absorbed, taking care to cover the entire area. Avoid the mobile eyelid: the skin is too thin and the risks of coming into contact with the eye are too high. There is also the risk of irritation and redness, better to avoid! How to care for the eye contour: extra tips Use simple daily precautions to care for your eye contour. If your eyes are puffy in the morning, you can reactivate the microcirculation by massaging the area with two teaspoons kept in the fridge for half an hour. Always wear sunglasses to protect the eye area from UV rays. Avoid squinting to prevent crow's feet from forming. Drink plenty of water to drain fluids and prevent dark circles by keeping the area hydrated. Avoid harsh cleansers or makeup removers that can damage and further dehydrate the area.

Double cleansing: what it is, how to do it and which products to use
Double cleansing is a practice that comes from Korean skincare and ensures a deep but delicate cleansing of the skin. Let's find out together what double cleansing is, how to do it and which products to use for double cleansing. What is double cleansing? How do you double cleanse? What products should I use for double cleansing? Is double cleansing good for all skin types? What is double cleansing? Double cleansing is a technique that allows you to have perfectly clean skin, ready to best receive all the active ingredients present in your skincare products. In the first phase, an oily cleanser is used to remove make-up, sunscreens and excess sebum. In the second phase, you use a water-based cleanser, such as a mousse or gel. This cleanser helps you remove any residue from the oily cleanser, polluting particles and impurities. Using two cleansers ensures thorough, intense cleansing and avoids the feeling of dryness that some cleansers can leave on more delicate skin. How do you double cleanse? With dry hands, take a small amount of oil cleanser and gently massage it into the skin of the dry face. Massage in circular motions and leave for at least 30 seconds or until you see that the makeup is completely dissolved. Use a specific oil for cleansing: in its formulation you will find emulsifying ingredients that will help you remove residues more easily without leaving the skin greasy. Now slightly moisten your hands, take the foaming cleanser and massage in circular motions for another 30 seconds. Finally, rinse with warm water and dry your skin by dabbing gently with a soft, natural fabric towel. What products should I use for double cleansing? For double cleansing you will need an oil cleanser and a foaming cleanser. For an effective treatment, I recommend that you do not use other products such as coconut oil, two-phase makeup removers or micellar water and that you follow the indicated order: first the oil cleanser and then the foaming cleanser. Using products that are not formulated for cosmetic use or for facial cleansing may make the treatment too aggressive for your face or not suitable for your skin type. On Yumibio you can purchase our complete double cleansing set , consisting of 2 100% natural, vegan and cruelty free cosmetics. BUY NOW For the first phase, use the Cleansing Balm oil cleanser to remove makeup and excess sebum. Cleansing balm is a compact gel that melts with the heat of the skin, transforming into a light oil that is easy to massage. Just a little water transforms this oily cleanser into a light milk that rinses off easily, leaving no residue. DISCOVER CLEANSING BALM Then move on to the Facial Cleansing Mousse , a soft and delicate foaming cleanser, rich in antioxidant and soothing active ingredients, perfect even for the most fragile and delicate skin. DISCOVER THE FACE MOUSSE Is double cleansing good for all skin types? Double cleansing is suitable for all skin types and you can customize it according to your needs and the season. For double cleansing on delicate skin , use a larger amount of oil-based cleanser and be very careful not to use microfiber or rough cloth wipes that may irritate the skin. If your skin is sensitive, you can limit double cleansing to your evening skincare routine, so as not to stress your skin too much and you can do it using gentle, hydrating products. The double cleansing for combination skin is excellent for respecting the areas where the skin is drier, while thoroughly cleansing those where the skin is more oily. Again, use a larger amount of oily cleanser, focusing especially on the T-zone (chin, nose, forehead) where sebum and impurities tend to accumulate. Double cleansing for oily skin is a really effective treatment, since the double step allows you to clean the skin thoroughly, freeing it from sebum, impurities and make-up. The presence of the oily cleanser helps us not to attack the skin too much, thus avoiding damaging the natural protective film.
