#Eye Contour
The eye contour is a notoriously delicate area where the skin needs more pampering and hydration than any other part of the face. This is why, in the warmest period of the year, it would be better to go with fresh and light products, which give a boost of hydration without making the skin greasy.

#Daily Moisturizer
In summer, simplicity and freshness are a must to promote a thoroughly moisturized and plump face, without making it oily and without breaking the delicate balance of the skin. Our team always selects products that are suited for the specific needs during the hot days (because, yes, the “seasonal change of wardrobe” should also concern skincare) and these ones are among the regenerating and refreshing products we can swear by.
