Second Skin Effect: How to Create a Light and Hydrating Base

As warmer temperatures approach, it is necessary to introduce some small adjustments to your daily skincare routine.

"In the middle of winter, it is advisable to use very thick products, with great moisturizing capabilities and able to protect your skin from low temperatures. With the arrival of spring, your habits will need to change."

"The heat will indeed make any product feel annoying and too heavy on our skin. When it comes to makeup, the situation becomes even more critical."
The golden rule is to choose products with lightweight formulations and to layer them so that the makeup structure holds up without being excessively heavy.

Here are our tips for creating a light yet perfect and hydrating makeup base.

It all starts at night

"Indeed, it is precisely at night that the perfect moment to deeply hydrate our skin occurs. At night, the skin rests and blood flow activity increases to promote regeneration."

This allows you to get rid of toxins and all the impurities accumulated during the day.

"It is therefore during the hours of sleep that it is essential to hydrate the skin for a deep action. For this reason, night cream is richer and denser than day cream, as the epidermis is more receptive in a state of rest and is able to absorb and assimilate the active ingredients present in higher concentrations."

One must not forget to apply a night cream before going to bed in order to enjoy all its benefits.
The next morning, in fact, the skin will be fresh, elastic, hydrated, radiant, and ready for a light and sufficiently hydrating makeup base.

Moisturizing cream, but it should be light.

"After deeply hydrating it overnight, our skin will already show a good level of hydration. However, it is essential not to let our guard down."

The stress she will be subjected to throughout the entire day, in fact, requires an additional phase of hydration. In this case, precisely because of the super hydrating treatment carried out during sleep, it is recommended to use a moisturizing day cream, yes, but light.

In this way, in fact, our face will be covered with a layer of product that will still allow our skin to breathe and react properly to higher external temperatures.

BB Cream instead of foundation

After applying a light moisturizing cream, it's time to apply the actual makeup base. It's important not to fall into the mistake of using a thick, heavy foundation that prevents our skin from breathing as it needs to.

Here's why, instead of a foundation, when temperatures rise, it's always recommended to use something lighter, like a BBCream. If the latter also provides sun protection like our BBIOME SPF30, you've achieved perfection!

If you follow these three simple tips, you can achieve a natural, moisturizing makeup base that is ideal for when the temperatures start to rise.
