La Saponaria, an Italian natural cosmetics brand that is quickly gaining popularity here at Ecco Verde formulates face care products packed with precious, organic ingredients. The vegan range uses plant-based substances that benefit the skin. The products are designed to either be used on their own or in combination with other cosmetics from the same range, ensuring a healthy and effective beauty routine benefiting your specific skin type can be set up in no time at all!

There are four main steps that need to be considered when establishing a beauty routine:

cleansing
toning/firming
serum treatments
nourishment and hydration

It may seem time-consuming but these steps take no longer than 10 minutes daily.

Step 1: Cleansing

Cleansing the skin is a crucial step to securing a healthy appearance. It frees the skin from pollutants, dirt particles and toxins while prepping it for subsequent care products. To reduce the risk of clogged pores it is advised to cleanse the skin twice a day - once in the morning and again in the evening. La Saponaria has created the Blueberry Cleansing Mousse for this purpose. A gentle cleansing mousse based on blueberry water with regenerating and antioxidant-rich properties. It soothes the skin with its anti-inflammatory effects and counteracts redness without causing any dryness. The formula is ideal for the most sensitive skin types.

Their sulphate and irritant-free Melissa Cleansing Milk can be used for make-up removal. The no-rinse formula contains soothing substances and is ideal for the delicate eye area.

Step 2: Toning/Firming

This step serves to rid the skin of any remaining make-up residues and balances the acidity of the skin. A traditional alcohol-free tonic or soothing and cleansing hydrosol can be used for this purpose. Special toners with that are derived from the cells of medicinal plants or superfruits are true elixirs that are rich in extraordinary actives.

These unique skincare products are then enriched with hyaluronic acid and are targeted toward the special needs of a specific skin type to enhance their effects. La Saponaria has developed three varieties: blueberry, pomegranate and melissa. The method of application is identical regardless if a toner, tonic or hydrosol is selected. Simply pour on a cotton pad and stroke across the skin or spray directly on the face and gently pat into the skin.

Step 3: Serum Treatments

Serums target specific skin concerns in a concentrated manner. These light beauty boosters are full of active ingredients that are quickly soaked up by the skin. The effects of moisturisers, day or night creams that are applied thereafter are intensified.

Selecting the right serum for your skin type:

Anti-Blemish Serum: Natural balancing care to fight blackheads and pimples
Anti-Pollution Serum: Guards against the negative effects of pollution
No-Age Anti-Age Serum: Regenerating cosmetics with anti-aging effect
Matte Effect Serum: Counteracts shine & large pores
Spot-Corrector Serum: Evens the complexion

Step 4: Moisturise

The last and final step to completing a comprehensive skincare routine is following up with a moisturiser. This is an essential step that locks in all the actives applied to the skin previously. Here are our suggestions for each skin type from the La Saponaria collection:
