The importance of moisturizing the skin

To bring moisture to the skin, we can act from the inside and the outside.

From the inside, we can provide hydration to our skin by drinking at least a couple of liters of water a day and following a balanced diet rich in fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables. Among the most water-rich vegetables we have cucumbers but also lettuce, tomatoes and carrots while watermelon, melon, apricots and plums are the ideal fruits for the important water content inside them. 

Acting from the outside, we can take care of our skin by using cosmetic products formulated with substances that are as natural and dermocompatible as possible, ensuring proper nourishment and protecting the skin's delicate hydrolipid film.

Focusing on the face and eye area, Lepo's skincare solutions rely on a deep understanding of botanical elements to create formulations that respect the natural physiology of the epidermis and care for it daily.

Cleansing is the first step in the daily beauty routine and is of particular importance; it is useful not only to remove impurities or make-up but also to remove dead skin cells thus preparing the skin to receive subsequent treatments in the best possible shape.

3-in-1 Cleansing Treatment with mallow and chamomile extracts is a multifunctional product that in one step cleanses, removes makeup and tones the skin, leaving it pleasantly soft and moisturized. Its texture, similar to a creamy milk, gently cleanses the face while respecting the skin's natural protective barrier and its delicate hydrolipidic balance, leaving a pleasant sensation of freshness with a delicate scent.

In terms of treatment products, the most effective steps involve applying a serum in combination with a face cream, as the 2 products work in synergy and with complementary functions to give the skin maximum benefits.

The serum should be applied before the face cream and acts deeper, where epidermal cells are most receptive. Ecobio Aqua essence Super Hydrating Serum is an Ecocert-certified organic treatment and a real moisture boost for the skin. It is a fluid emulsion with a light touch enriched with hyaluronic acid, a molecule capable of capturing and retaining water reserves and thus quenching the skin, which will be soft and supple. Its very fluid and light texture also helps to convey the active ingredients of the face cream we will apply later, making sure that they work synergistically to ensure constant hydration and nourishment.

After waiting a couple of minutes so that the serum is absorbed by the skin, we can proceed with the application of Ecobio face moisturizer with olive, andiroba and argan oil. Unlike the serum, the face cream works more on the surface ensuring all-day hydration. Its creamy, enveloping texture with a velvety finish makes the skin soft and silky. Enriched with precious plant oils with regenerating, restorative and antioxidant action, it is an organic product certified by Icea. 

For dry or particularly needy skin, it is best to use an even richer product such as Ecobio nutrition 24-hour nourishing cream with olive oil and shea butter. Also certified organic, it is composed of 99 percent naturally derived ingredients and has a full-bodied, melting texture that is ideal as both a day and night treatment. Formulated with active ingredients with extraordinary antioxidant properties such as blood orange water, goji and white peony extract, it counteracts the formation of free radicals and performs not only a deep nourishing function but also an anti-aging action.

The eye area is the most delicate part of the face since the skin in this area is much thinner and more delicate and, for this reason, deserves special care and attention. Ecobio Eye Contour Cream with hyaluronic acid, olive oil and lycopene deeply nourishes and tones, leaving the skin well hydrated and visibly more relaxed. Its lightweight texture is easily absorbed and leaves no residue. Among the valuable extracts contained in the Icea-certified organic formulation are caffeine, which stimulates blood microcirculation, and lycopene, an extract derived from tomatoes with strong antioxidant activity.

At least once a week, finally, it is important to treat oneself to an extra pampering, a moment of well-being in which the skin can regenerate and thoroughly quench its thirst. The Moisturizing Toning Mask with sweet almond, apricot, evening primrose and wheat germ oils meets this very need, bringing nourishment and deep regeneration. It also promotes cell renewal and, in just 10 minutes, makes the skin firmer, nourished and radiant.

Through a few simple daily gestures, we can ensure that the largest organ in our body is properly cared for so that it is preserved healthy and nourished for as long as possible.

Let us never forget to give our skin a drink!
