Daily and weekly beauty routine: everything you need to know for face, body and mind
Learn to love yourself a little more: chocolate bars, shopping sessions or a long hot bath are often of no use.
Sometimes, we need small daily actions that remind us that the image reflected in the mirror belongs to a worthy woman. And what's better than a beauty routine that, every day, allows us to look at that mirror with pride?
Deciding to follow a daily beauty routine does not mean undergoing beauty treatments and medieval tortures to respect the saying "if you want to look beautiful, you have to suffer a little." It simply means respecting some rules and learning what mistakes to avoid : not so much to look more beautiful, but rather to respect your body and your skin. They will thank you by giving you a more radiant image and a profound sense of peace and harmony.

The beauty routine for the face: in the morning
It all starts with an aesthetic treatment for the face: it is essential to purify the skin and cleanse it before starting the day, so as to prepare it for all the stress that will accumulate and make it truly invincible.
As soon as you wake up, rinse your face with water and a mild soap. Choose mixed water to cleanse your skin deeply: massage your face with circular movements and then use the toner to close the pores.
Your facial beauty routine continues with a moisturizer - make sure you choose the one that's right for your skin type:
- if you have combination or oily facial skin, choose a fluid cream or a mattifying emulsion to reduce the shine on the skin
- if you have dry or particularly delicate skin, focus on treatments rich in soothing substances and ceramides, or molecules capable of retaining water
Pay particular attention to the eye area, treating it with a specific product and thus allowing your eyes to appear fresher and more rested.
The beauty routine for the face: in the evening
There is only one thing you need to remember to do every night: remove your make-up. It doesn't matter if you are too tired or if you only have a little mascara on: cleansing is essential to purify the skin; without it, your daily beauty routine will be incomplete. A cleansing milk or, if you prefer, a "mixed water" is enough. Once you have cleaned your face, apply a layer of night cream, richer than the one you use during the day.
A healthier body, a more serene mind: the daily suggestions
Just like your facial skin, your body also needs all the beauty treatments it needs to regenerate itself every day. First, choose a mild shower soap and always look carefully at the ingredient list. Choosing any soap, or based on the scent, means not really taking care of your body: always read the list of ingredients carefully, make sure it is suitable for your skin type and do not believe the miraculous promises!
In the shower, use the sponge: it helps to keep the skin smoother, without attacking it. You can choose the type of sponge you prefer: the classic ones, made of cellulose, are economical and durable, while the sea ones are softer, perfect for the most delicate skins.
After the bath, always apply a moisturizer, massaging from top to bottom.
Weekly beauty routine: what to do every week for face, body and hair
If the advice we have just given you is to be followed daily, now we want to suggest you some good habits to respect for your weekly beauty routine. If it seems too much to remember, fear not: in no time you will be so well that it will be natural for you to follow them!
Once a week, perhaps on the weekend for a special and prolonged cuddle, remember to:
- apply an acne and dehydration
- in the shower, dedicate some time to the body scrub, to tone the skin and eliminate dead cells
Less complex than you thought, right?
The new beauty trend comes from the East: discover all the benefits of the Korean beauty routine!
That we should not generalize is true, but it is equally true that, in terms of beauty treatments, oriental women have an edge. In addition to protecting the skin from the sun, the Korean beauty routine includes a series of steps to be followed daily to obtain a smooth and flawless skin:
- start by applying an oil-based cleanser to your face, massaging to make it absorb faster
- continue with a second cleansing phase, this time, however, with a water-based detergent that will eliminate the last traces of impurities
- to eliminate dead cells, proceed with a scrub. But be careful: it is better to avoid a daily exfoliating treatment because the skin could weaken. Instead, prefer the T zone.
- the tonic is a must have of the Korean beauty routine: it restores the balance of the skin and helps it to absorb the subsequent products, namely the essence and the serum. While the serum is also used a lot by us Westerners, the essence is the real focus of Korean beauty treatments: halfway between serum and tonic, it helps in cell regeneration.
- once this procedure is finished, it is advisable to let a cloth mask rest on the face
- before finishing your Korean beauty routine, focus on the eye contour and, finally, apply a layer of moisturizer and sunscreen all over the face
This beauty ritual is effective, but challenging: if you don't think you can keep the weekly mask in mind, maybe it's not for you!
SOS beauty: all the mistakes to avoid!
What are the mistakes to avoid to make your beauty routine 100% effective?
First, make sure you only ever choose products that are in line with your skin. It doesn't matter if your friend recommended a miracle night cream - you need to make sure it doesn't damage your skin in any way.
Remember to never, ever leave out either the toner or the eye contour: in a few years you will thank our advice and the past you!
Even if they seem to act faster, avoid using harsh products, such as alcohol-based tonics, too often. The same thing goes for the gommage or scrub: better if you do it only once a week and better if you use organic ingredients, such as coffee grounds!
