What is facial skincare?
Facial skincare represents a series of steps dedicated to the care and maintenance of facial skin health.
This daily routine is not limited to simply removing makeup or cleansing the skin, but is a true wellness ritual that nourishes, protects, and restores the skin's vitality.
Implementing an adequate skincare routine means following a specific order of product application, which helps maximize the effectiveness of each active ingredient. Typical steps include cleansing, toning, specific eye and lip treatments, serum application, moisturizing, and good sun protection.
Each step has its purpose: from purifying and removing impurities, to hydrating and nourishing the skin, to protecting it from external agents and premature aging.
Recognizing your skin type is essential to choosing the most suitable products and customizing your skincare routine: whether you have dry, oily, combination, or sensitive skin, there is always a combination of products that can work in synergy to improve the quality of your skin.
Before delving into the specific steps for a facial routine, let's discover the characteristics of each skin type together.
The various types of facial skin
Facial skin can be classified into various categories, each with its own characteristics and needs. Recognizing your skin type not only helps you select the most suitable products, but also allows you to effectively prevent and treat potential skin problems. From oily, dry, normal, and combination skin types to sensitive skin, each skin has a unique set of challenges and solutions. Below, we explore the main facial skin types and tips on how to best care for them.
Here's an overview of the main skin types:
- Oily Skin: characterized by excessive sebum production, it has a shiny appearance, enlarged pores, and may be prone to imperfections such as blackheads and acne. It is important to use sebum-regulating and purifying products.
- Dry Skin: this skin type lacks hydration and appears rough, tight, and dull. It is more susceptible to wrinkles and fine lines. Treatments should aim to restore moisture and intensely nourish the skin.
- Normal Skin: considered the ideal skin type, it is well-balanced and without particular problems. The skincare routine should focus on maintaining this balance, protecting the skin from external agents.
- Combination Skin: combines characteristics of oily and dry skin; typically oily in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) and dry on the cheeks. It requires care that balances the need to hydrate dry areas without aggravating the oilier zones.
-
Sensitive Skin: this skin type reacts easily to external stimuli, often resulting in redness, irritation, or itching. It is crucial to choose delicate products that soothe and protect without causing further irritation.
Every skin type requires specific attention, and the choice of the right products must be tailored to individual needs, which can vary with the seasons or other external conditions such as stress or the environment.
Correctly identifying your skin type is the first step to ensuring optimal care and maintaining a healthy and radiant appearance.
In the next paragraph, we will explore the fundamental steps of an effective skincare routine, adapted to every skin type.
Facial Skincare: All the Fundamental Steps for a Proper Face Care Routine
To achieve an even and radiant complexion, it is essential to follow a structured and consistent skincare routine, both morning and evening.
Each time of day requires specific attention to prepare, protect, and regenerate the skin, addressing its particular needs.
Let's look together at how best to divide your daily routine.
Morning Skincare Routine: Wake Up and Prepare Your Skin
Your morning facial beauty routine is crucial for preparing your skin for the day, protecting it from external agents, and keeping it fresh and radiant. Here's how to structure an effective routine, personalized with Terme di Comano Skincare products.
-
STEP 1
Cleansing
Cleansing milkCleansing is the foundation of every morning skincare routine. It prepares the skin for optimal absorption of subsequent treatments, effectively removing sebum, makeup residue, pollution, and dead cells accumulated overnight.
This step not only purifies but also restores the skin's natural balance and supports its cellular renewal.
Start your day with a deep cleanse using Terme di Comano Skincare's Cleansing Milk Cream.Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive ones, this milk cream gently cleanses while respecting the skin's proper balance, removing sebum and impurities accumulated overnight and leaving the skin soft and ready for subsequent treatments.
-
STEP 2
Toning
Thermal Water SprayAfter cleansing, another essential step in a skincare routine is toning.
This step helps remove any cleansing residues and restore the skin's natural pH balance, preparing it for subsequent treatments.
Toned skin is more receptive to serums and moisturizing creams, as it allows for optimal absorption of active ingredients.
For this phase, one of the recommended products is Terme di Comano Skincare's Thermal Water Spray. Thanks to its composition rich in calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonate and its precious microbiota, it hydrates and refreshes the skin, promoting epidermal regeneration. Additionally, it restores natural pH and prepares the skin to receive subsequent skincare treatments.
-
step 3
Eye Contour
Global Age eye and lip contour creamThe delicate eye contour area requires special attention, as the skin in this area is thinner and more sensitive than the rest of the face.
This area is among the first to show signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles. Using products specifically formulated for the eye contour is essential to ensure proper nourishment and protection.
For an effective eye contour treatment, Terme di Comano Skincare's "Global Age Eye and Lip Contour Cream" is ideal. This cream is specifically designed to nourish, moisturize, and minimize signs of fatigue such as fine lines, puffiness, and dark circles. Its rich formula also provides intense luminosity, making the skin around the eyes visibly fresher and revitalized. -
fase 4
Serum
Terme di Comano Skincare serumsAfter applying eye cream, it is essential not to neglect applying serum, a crucial step in your skincare routine.
Thanks to its formula rich in concentrated active ingredients, it offers deep and targeted benefits. Unlike creams, which primarily work on the surface to hydrate and protect, serums are formulated to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin. This makes them effective in combating signs of aging, dehydration, hyperpigmentation, and other skin imperfections.
To achieve maximum hydrating and anti-aging effects, you can choose between two serums, each formulated to meet your skin's specific needs:-
Hyaluronic Acid Superconcentrated Serum: ideal for those who want to improve skin elasticity and reduce fine lines, this serum is an intensive concentrate of vitality for the face and neck with a triple action: hydrating, plumping, and evening. Thanks to its formulation enriched with powerful active agents such as two hyaluronic acids of different molecular weights and the Prebiotic System, it helps restore skin balance, combating the signs of aging and fatigue. Its light, fast-absorbing texture makes it perfect for daily use, especially as a make-up base, facilitating its application. Suitable for all skin types, it is also perfect after aesthetic medicine treatments, ensuring deep hydration and a fresh, plumped appearance.
-
Vitamin C+Retinol Superconcentrated Serum: An authentic face and neck beauty activator, with a melting and silky texture, which enhances facial youth through luminosity, vitality, and elasticity. This serum combines the properties of Comano Thermal Water and the Prebiotic System with innovative functional substances. The high content of Vitamin PP and Vitamin C evens out skin texture, giving radiance, while gradual-release Retinol reduces signs of aging, giving firmness and volume to the face. Suitable for all skin types, it is particularly suitable for mature skin. Applied before make-up, it facilitates its application and can also be used after aesthetic medicine procedures, making the skin vital, luminous, and plumped.
Choose the serum best suited to your needs to achieve visibly healthier and more radiant skin, ready to face the day or to shine at special events.

Suitable for all skin types, it is also perfect after aesthetic medicine treatments, ensuring deep hydration and a fresh, plumped appearance.

passaggio 5
Hydration
Hydration is a crucial step in your morning skincare routine because it has a direct impact on the health and appearance of your skin.
Maintaining adequate skin hydration not only improves its elasticity and tone but also contributes to a smoother and more velvety appearance. Well-hydrated skin is less susceptible to irritation, premature aging, and dullness, and is also more resistant to external aggressors such as pollution and climatic changes.
To achieve optimal hydration and maintain your skin in its ideal state, it is essential to select a moisturizer that specifically meets the needs of your skin type. The cream should not only replenish lost moisture but also seal moisture into the skin, supporting the natural skin barrier.When selecting a moisturizer, consider textures and active ingredients that can enhance the moisturizing effect and provide additional benefits such as an anti-aging or revitalizing effect.
For drier skin, a richer cream might be more appropriate, providing both deep hydration and nourishment. For oily skin, on the other hand, opt for lighter formulas that hydrate without feeling heavy. -
STEP 6
Sun protection
Our sunscreensSun protection is an essential part of your morning facial routine, not only to preserve the appearance of your skin but also to keep it healthy and well-protected over time.
Daily application of sunscreen helps protect the skin from damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) rays, which are primarily responsible for premature skin aging, sunspots, and more serious skin damage.
Sunscreens not only prevent premature aging, such as wrinkle formation and loss of elasticity, but also protect against the risk of hyperpigmentation and help maintain an even complexion.
Choosing the right sun protection factor (SPF) depends on various factors, including skin type and tone, season, level of daily sun exposure, and individual predisposition to sunburn or sun reactions. In general, a higher SPF offers greater protection.
To ensure optimal and specific sun protection, Terme di Comano Skincare has developed two protections designed to meet the needs of different skin types (even the most sensitive), offering tailored solutions that combine protective efficacy and skin care:- Terme di Comano Skincare High Protection Sun Cream SPF 30: ideal for daily use, it offers complete protection against UVA and UVB rays. Formulated for fair, sensitive, or redness-prone skin, this cream supports the skin against free radicals and photoaging, making it perfect for initial sun exposure and for use in the city or in environments with moderate sun exposure.
- Terme di Comano Skincare Very High Protection Sun Cream SPF 50+: offers advanced protection for very fair and delicate skin. This cream is particularly suitable for intense exposure conditions, such as during beach or mountain holidays, effectively protecting against the most serious UV damage.
It is important to apply an adequate amount of product (about the volume of a walnut) to the face, neck, and other exposed areas, to ensure effective protection. Remember to reapply the product regularly (every 2 hours) if you are exposed to the sun for prolonged periods or after swimming or physical activity that could remove the sunscreen from the skin.

Hydration: how to choose correctly
Here are the Terme di Comano Skincare options you can choose from based on your specific needs:
For oily and/or combination skin with acne tendency:
- Mattifying Normalizing Emulsion: ideal for combination or impure skin, this emulsion with a fresh and light texture absorbs quickly, providing an effective mattifying effect. Enriched with Comano Thermal Water and the Prebiotic System, it normalizes sebum production, smoothing and illuminating the skin and giving the face a fresh sensation with a matte appearance.
For sensitive skin:
- SOS Intense Comfort Cream: offers immediate relief and intense hydration to delicate and easily irritable skin. Its soft and melting formula helps reduce redness and irritation, restoring skin balance thanks to precious active ingredients such as panthenol and 18-beta glycyrrhetinic acid.
For dry skin:
- Filler Pro Multi-Perfection Cream: perfect for mature, dry or very dry skin, this rich and soft cream acts on fine lines and wrinkles, improving skin elasticity and firmness. Its advanced formula with gradual release Retinol and biotechnological plant extracts strengthens and volumizes the skin, leaving it plumped, even, and radiant.
For normal skin:
-
Global Age Fresh Texture Cream: a cream with a fresh and impalpable texture containing precious active ingredients such as alpine rose stem cells and hyaluronic acid, ideal for an anti-aging effect and for keeping the skin hydrated for a long time without weighing it down.
-
Global Age Rich Texture Face Cream: a richer and more nourishing cream for those who need more nourishment and want to combat visible signs of aging.
Choose the cream that best suits your needs to protect and nourish your skin from the morning, preparing it for the day ahead. Remember to apply it not only to your face but also to your neck and décolleté, areas often neglected but which show visible signs of aging if not adequately cared for. Good daily hydration is therefore not only a gesture of beauty, but a real necessity for healthy and radiant skin.
Extra step: Face Scrubs and Masks for an Intensive Treatment
Incorporating a face mask into your routine once or twice a week can make a significant difference, especially for deeply regenerating and revitalizing the skin.
Face masks with a high content of active ingredients provide intensive treatment that addresses specific skin needs, whether it's additional hydration, a soothing effect, or deep cleansing.
A face scrub also plays an essential role in skin treatment, especially for impure, oily, or acne-prone skin. In fact, performing a scrub at least once or twice a week is crucial for deeply clearing pores and eliminating dead skin cells and excess sebum. This not only improves the skin's appearance and texture but also stimulates cell renewal, which is essential for keeping the skin fresh and youthful. Furthermore, a professional facial cleansing every 4-6 weeks can ensure a deeper and more lasting effect.
Here are some products formulated by Terme di Comano Skincare that you can include in your weekly beauty routine:
-
Water Crystal Face Mask: This water-gel mask is perfect for a hydrating and plumping booster effect. Its unique lattice structure allows for the gradual release of active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and Comano thermal water. It is ideal for toning and firming the skin, visibly reducing wrinkles and signs of fatigue. The light and delicate formulation is also suitable for sensitive skin or after aesthetic medicine treatments, leaving the skin fresh, hydrated, and visibly younger.
- Global Age Eye Contour Patch Mask: Specifically formulated for the delicate eye contour area, this hydrogel patch mask helps to smooth the skin and reduce wrinkles and expression lines. Thanks to its hydrating and illuminating action, it tones and revitalizes the eye contour, making the eyes look more rested and radiant. The ideal treatment for those who desire an immediate refreshing and toning effect, perfect for preparing for special events or simply for pampering themselves after a long week.
-
Micro Exfoliating Face Scrub: This delicate cream scrub for the face, thanks to the balanced combination of volcanic stone microgranules, lactic acid, and stabilized vitamin C, frees the epidermal surface from impurities and promotes the restoration of the skin's physiological radiance. It facilitates skin turnover and pore constriction, giving the skin an even texture and a vital complexion.
Regular application of these masks and the scrub in your weekly beauty routine not only enhances the effects of your daily care but also offers a moment of relaxation and self-care that your skin will appreciate.
Evening Skincare Routine: The Importance of Double Cleansing
Evening is the ideal time to dedicate to skin care. This is because, after a whole day, it is essential to remove all traces of make-up, thoroughly cleanse the skin of smog and impurities, and nourish it adequately.
The skin needs to regenerate during the night, and treatments applied before sleeping are essential to support this skin repair process.
Double cleansing is particularly recommended for the evening routine, as it allows for the complete and deep removal of all impurities accumulated during the day.
This technique uses two types of cleansers: initially an oil-based cleanser to dissolve sebum, SPF, and makeup, followed by a water-based or emulsion cleanser that removes any oily residue, further purifying the skin and leaving it perfectly clean and ready for subsequent treatments.
-
STEP 1
Oil Cleansing
High tolerance cleansing oilBegin your evening routine by applying Terme di Comano Skincare's High-Tolerance Cleansing Oil. This product is formulated to gently dissolve makeup, SPF, and impurities without irritating the skin. It transforms into a soft emulsion upon contact with water, deeply cleansing and maintaining the skin's natural hydration.
-
STEP 2
Water-based cleansing
Cleansing gelsAfter removing oily residue, choose between the Normalizing Cleansing Gel and the Cleansing Milk Cream, depending on your skin type.
- Normalizing Cleansing Gel: Ideal for combination to blemish-prone skin, it contains plant-derived surfactants that cleanse gently. Comano thermal water and the Prebiotic System help normalize sebum secretion and minimize pores for fresh, clean skin.
-
Cleansing Milk Cream: Perfect for sensitive skin, it gently removes impurities and makeup. Enriched with hyaluronic acid and Comano Thermal Water for a hydrating and rebalancing action.
For a deeper understanding of double cleansing and its benefits, we refer you to a specific article dedicated to Double Cleansing, where you can discover all the details and tips to optimize this practice in your evening routine.
After completing the double cleansing and leaving your skin perfectly clean and ready for subsequent treatments, you can continue with your evening skincare following the same fundamental steps as your morning routine, adapting them to the needs of the night. -
Step 3
Toning
Thermal Water SprayAs in the morning, toning is an essential step in the evening too to restore the skin's pH and prepare it to better absorb subsequent treatments. Use Terme di Comano's Thermal Water Spray to refresh and soothe the skin, promoting epidermal regeneration overnight.
-
step 4
Serum
Terme di Comano Skincare serumsIn the evening, applying a targeted serum is also crucial. You can choose between the Hyaluronic Acid Superconcentrated Serum for deep hydration and a plumping effect, or the Vitamin C+Retinol Superconcentrated Serum for an antioxidant and regenerating action, ideal for preparing for nighttime rest.
-
step 5
Eye Contour Treatment
Global Age Eye and Lip Contour CreamThe skin around the eyes also requires special attention at night. Apply Global Age Eye and Lip Contour Cream to hydrate and nourish this delicate area, reducing puffiness, dark circles, and signs of fatigue accumulated during the day.
-
STEP 6
Final hydration
Moisturizing creamsFinally, conclude your evening routine by applying a moisturizer suitable for your skin type. Nighttime is the ideal moment to use richer, more nourishing formulas that can work deeply. If you have dry skin, opt for the Filler Pro Multi-Perfection Face Cream for intense hydration; if your skin is more sensitive, the SOS Intense Comfort Face Cream is the perfect choice to soothe and repair your skin while you sleep.
Our experts' advice
Facial skincare is a complex and varied topic, with many facets that can lead to doubts and questions.
Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions about the world of skincare:
-
What is the right age to start skincare?
There is no precise age to start skincare, but it is advisable to start taking care of your skin from your early 20s. During these years, the skin gradually begins to show changes, such as a slowdown in cell turnover and a decrease in collagen and elastin production. It is therefore useful to introduce basic products such as a gentle cleanser, a suitable moisturizer, and sunscreen. As the skin matures, the routine can be adapted to include specific treatments that meet the skin's new needs. -
How many times a week should I do skincare?
Skincare should be done through a daily routine, with cleansing and moisturizing in the morning and evening. Exfoliation and mask application can be done less frequently, generally 1-2 times a week, depending on your skin's needs. -
Can I use the same products in the morning and evening?
Some products can be used both day and night, but others, especially those containing photosensitive ingredients such as certain specific acids, are best applied only in the evening to avoid skin reactions to the sun. Here I would talk about preferring revitalizing and nourishing ingredients during night hours (rather than avoiding certain ingredients). -
What happens if you don't do skincare?
Neglecting skincare can lead to a variety of skin problems, such as increased impurities, premature aging, dehydration, and loss of radiance. Regular care helps maintain healthy skin and prevent long-term problems. -
Why does my face cream cause me breakouts?
Creams and moisturizers help keep the skin hydrated, but some may contain oils, synthetic fragrances, or other ingredients that could irritate the skin and cause breakouts, especially if the skin is sensitive or acne-prone. It is essential to choose non-comedogenic products formulated for your skin type. -
How can I know my skin type?
Identifying your skin type can be done by observing how it reacts after cleansing: oily skin tends to become shiny, dry skin may feel tight or flaky, while combination skin may show both signs in different areas. -
How often should I perform a deep facial cleansing?
A deep cleansing is recommended at least twice a day, morning and evening. Using a purifying or exfoliating mask once or twice a week can further enhance the effectiveness of the skincare routine, helping to remove deeper impurities and promoting cell renewal for brighter, smoother skin. -
Is it necessary to use a serum?
Serums are not mandatory, but they are highly recommended for their high levels of active ingredients, which can target specific skin problems such as aging or dehydration. Thanks to their concentrated formulation, they provide an effective first "dose" of active ingredients that penetrate deeply, ensuring visible results. -
What should I do if my skin reacts negatively to a new product?
If you notice irritation, stop using the product and consult a dermatologist. A period of desensitization or testing may be necessary to identify the problematic ingredient.
Conclusions
Taking care of your facial skin is an investment in your long-term health and beauty. Regardless of age or skin type, a personalized skincare routine can make a difference in keeping your skin radiant, healthy, and youthful. Remember that cleansing, moisturizing, and protection are the fundamental pillars of any skincare regimen, but adding specific treatments like serums, eye creams, and face masks can further enhance the benefits.
Start with basic products and, by listening to your skin, adapt your routine over time to its specific needs. Do not underestimate the importance of quality products and the impact of adequate sun protection, which is essential for preventing premature skin aging and protecting your skin's health.
Remember: skincare is not just a matter of aesthetics, but a crucial aspect of your overall well-being. Take time to take care of your skin every day, and you will see the results over time. Your skin is your most immediate calling card to the world; taking care of it means respecting yourself and your body.
