In this article we want to start from one of the most frequently asked questions in the skincare world: How many times do we have to change our beauty routine? before the skin gets used to the benefits obtained, but above all is it possible to mix two or more cosmetic products to create your "custom" texture? We asked the dermatologists Skinius.
Is it true that the skin gets used to dermocosmetics?
We asked our dermatologists if skin can actually become accustomed or used to a dermocosmetic product, so much so that its functions are nullified. In reality, our experts clarify that there is no direct mechanism for the skin to become immune to a dermocosmetic product over time. But it is the skin that changes and dermatological needs can be influenced by external factors such as climate, drug intake, lifestyle, hormonal imbalances and other possible skin problems. It is therefore normal that over time the perception of a cream or serum on the skin depending on the season , certainly not because the skin has become accustomed to it. In some cases this phenomenon may not even occur and the skin could find its ideal comfort with a dermocosmetic even all year round for many years.
Can we mix products?
The European Commission has recently adopted a proposal for the revision of the GPSD (General Product Safety Directive) which, among other things, highlights the need for a safety profile also for products marketed online . The problem of " home mixes " of multiple cosmetics thus resurfaces and, in the spirit of the GPSD, this practice is strongly discouraged. Why? A "new" cosmetic product (resulting from the mix) would be created whose safety has not been tested in any way. In fact, the safety profile of the product resulting from the mix would not be known, creating a potential risk for the consumer.
PIF and product safety
Every company that places a product on the market, by law provides the individual product with a PIF (Product Information File), a technical dossier which also includes the Safety Assessment of the Cosmetic Product as it is marketed by the manufacturing company. It is clear how by mixing several products it is no longer possible to guarantee the safety profile of the resulting mixture . This is why the practice of "mixing" is strongly discouraged and its regulation is currently being discussed by the European Commission.
In presenting the proposal, the Commission stressed that the increase in online sales has led to the need for a new text of safety rules to protect consumers so as to reduce the risks associated with incorrect home use of products, often superficially promoted through social networks. Obviously, the updated Regulation will affect both products distributed online and via traditional channels.
No to Mixing, Yes to Layering
To get the most out of your beauty routine, you don't need to mix products, but rather proceed step by step, passages or layering the application. This technique is called layering. layering It is considered safe and recommended because by waiting between one application and another it is possible to better manage any problems.
Milis, Delika and ALUSAC: use them together for a triple cleansing
We know how important it is to carry out a double cleansing to prevent not only skin aging, but also impurities and dryness, but what about when you act in 3? The more the skin is kept deeply clean, the more it will be possible to appreciate the results of subsequent treatments. The cleansers of the SKINIUS line go perfectly with ALUSAC cleanser in those cases where the skin is asphyxiated or mixed and it needs an action that is not limited to rebalancing the production of sebum, but also to deeply hydrate the skin thanks to the creamy texture of MILIS cleansing milk . It is always important to follow the steps carefully by applying one product after another without overloading the skin. Let's see what results we can obtain from a synergistic facial cleansing.
Double anti-aging cleansing : the basis of anti-aging skincare which involves the successive application of MILIS cleansing milk and DELIKA micellar water .
Rebalancing and toning action : for those who want to say goodbye to the effect oily ALUSAC cleanser followed by DELIKA micellar water also for use as a toner without rinsing.
Make-up removing and antibacterial action : MILIS cleansing milk and ALUSAC cleanser, to combine make-up removal with the smoothing and rebalancing power of ALUSAC.
Triple cleansing : in those cases where the skin really needs it and after consulting a dermatologist, it may be useful to combine the make-up removing action of MILIS with ALUSAC and finish with DELIKA for tonic use.
FOSPID Active Serum and its multifunctionality
The action anti-aging and regenerating booster of FOSPID active serum is useful not only before the cream or for single use as a night treatment, but also for a localized application on blemishes, scars and sagging. What few people know is that the incredible texture of FOSPID active serum is also effective as a regenerating face mask . With a greater quantity of product and a 5/10 minute application, FOSPID active serum acts as a regenerating and anti-aging face mask, ideal before big nights or appointments. But it doesn't end there, many dermatologists also recommend it as an after-sun to restore hydration and elasticity to the skin, but also before sun, ideal if followed by PLUSOL sun cream, also Skinius brand.
How to use Skinius creams after other skin treatments
The Skinius line is often recommended by dermatologists even following medical treatments or particular exfoliating practices such as Gommage or scrub , but also in support of certain patches for the face and body. Let's find out how.
Facial Acids and Exfoliants: Rebalance Your Facial Skin with Fospid Active Serum
Salicylic or glycolic are the exfoliating treatments most common and used, better if performed by a dermatologist. Glycolic acid promotes the cell renewal and visibly brighter and firmer skin , protected from micro-wrinkles. It is important in case of sensitive skin, before proceeding with these beauty practices, to consult a dermatologist.
Salicylic acid helps promote an exfoliating action ideal for restore balance even to combination, oily and acne-prone skin .
The exfoliating action of these acids promotes the appearance of younger and more delicate skin that can also be more sensitive. In these cases, many dermatologists recommend the regenerating action of Fospid active serum, which thanks to the Fospidina complex rebalances the skin deeply supporting all cellular activities including the production of collagen and elastin.
If you do an exfoliating treatment at home, carefully follow all the directions for use recommended by the manufacturer.
Natrux, Fospid and Delika Towel: the new microexfoliation
To promote cell renewal of the body skin There are two main treatments: scrubs and gommage . These beauty techniques use special granular particles that help to delicately exfoliate the skin in its superficial layers. The Skinius research team has however thought of a new innovative technique called cotton scrub ideal for allowing even the most sensitive skin to enjoy the exfoliating action.
The cotton scrub uses the 100% recyclable cotton weave of DELIKA towel. This exfoliating process can be performed in the shower, on damp skin, but also dry for a more decisive action. In this way you get a perfect mechanical scrub that can be modulated through manual massage that helps prevent redness and irritation. Once again the Skinius research team has transformed a simple accessory into an effective and innovative treatment, but above all respectful even of the most sensitive skin. It is then important to restore the hydrolipidic film with the correct hydration through NATRUX body cream which, thanks to Fospidina and its restorative principles, manages to rebalance the skin, leaving it soft, firm and luminous.
The Skinius creams are created and formulated to respect all skin types, even the most sensitive; this allows the line to be versatile and respond to dermatological needs all year round. Our mission is in fact to promote a more authentic and conscious beauty that listens to the sensations and emotions of the skin at every moment of the year and of life and that allows us to select a skincare that adapts perfectly to the face and body.
