Our Beauty Editor shares new trends of the season.
“The season of lightness is back! First observation: the trends are calling for a bright summer.”
It’s ever so light! The idea is to wear very soft makeup that gives you an impeccable and luminous complexion, so your cheeks look young and bright, and your eyes dazzle with pink or champagne shades. You can also accentuate the volume and length of your lashes for a doe-like look. This trend is good for everyone since it enhances all skin tones and, depending on the shade you choose, guarantees an instantly glamorous look. Another trendy hue is mocha mousse, which is very flattering in makeup. It emanates rich and warm shades evocative of luxury and refinement without being too flashy. You’ll radiate style with these summer beauty looks!

TEAOLOGY Tea Time
Founded by Cecilia Garofano and Paolo Bevegni, the Italian skincare brand Teaology was born out of Cecilia’s love for tea. The founders had been interested in its beneficial properties for years, but it was during a long voyage in Canada where she discovered the houses of tea and the tea ceremony which inspired her to create a range of cosmetics based on tea leaves.
By Vânia Aguiar
Q : What was the inspiration for launching your brand?
A : Our main motivation is one of real passion for beauty developed over the course of several years of professional activity and on a personal level, a love for the world of tea which has always fascinated us.
Q : What is the concept behind Teaology Skincare?
A : It’s about making the most of the unique characteristics of the tea plant, which is nature’s most powerful antioxidant, in synergy with other active ingredients and derived from the most advanced cosmetic research.
Q : How does Teaology differentiate itself from other brands on the market?
A : First, there is the extremely natural and sustainable nature of our formulas, and the absolute effectiveness of all our products, which are dermatologically tested. What makes us absolutely unique, however, is that we have replaced the water in our formulas with infusions of the most precious types of tea which, thanks to patented technology, makes our formulas 100% active.
Q : The world of beauty has evolved: Today’s formulas are cleaner and more effective. How is your brand adapting to this trend?
A : Tealolgy was born precisely when this concept became a priority for consumers. All our formulas are made from raw materials of of 95 to 100% natural origin and comply with European safety standards. This makes our products safe and effective, as evidenced by the fact that that they all received an “excellent” rating from Yuka, an independent application which evaluates some two million cosmetic products and their impact on human health. Furthermore, since day one, we have always focused on the sustainability of our production process, which has allowed us to be one of the first companies in the world in our sector to be BiCorp certified.
Q : Considering the latest scientific breakthroughs, what key ingredients should women and men look for in anti-aging creams?
A : We are fascinated by the effectiveness of biomimetic peptides, this new generation molecules mimic the action of naturally present peptides in the body. There are those that simulate the production of collagen and elastin to improve hydration, but also peptides that plump lips and strengthen eyelashes and hair.
Q : Does skin get used to the active ingredients in creams? Should we be changing them regularly?
A : In reality, our skin’s needs can change over time making it necessary to modify our beauty routine. The causes can be diverse, from normal physiological aging due to stress, hormonal changes or external factors such as climate change or pollution. That’s why we always recommend listening to your skin and, if necessary, looking for new products with textures or active ingredients that match your current needs.
Q : Why can we trust Teaology?
A : Because each of the formulas in our range is as good as a cup of tea, with the added benefit of healthy, happy skin.
Q : What do you think the the future of beauty looks like?
A : We are convinced that the future of beauty will increasingly become more responsible and transparent. People today are better informed than ever before and know exactly what they want in terms of cosmetic results as well as the specific active ingredients in the products they consume. Safety and durability are equally at the heart of their choices, and therefore we believe that Teaology fully meets the demands of today and tomorrow.

Sweet, sometimes light and sometimes slightly spicy, citrus fruits are even more popular come July. They remind you of the sun, the heat, and the carefree feeling you have when in nature. Not to be forgotten are the fresh waters, which awaken your nostrils without assaulting them with notes that are too caliente. Here is a joyful selection of fresh perfumes that will lighten your fragrant trail.

Sunscreen remains the most important product to apply to your skin if you want to prevent premature skin aging. The sun is in fact the primary cause of signs of aging on the face and it can even have more serious consequences. So much so that dermatologists recommend applying sunscreen regardless of the season. Not so long ago, very greasy, thick or whitish formulas unfortunately dominated the market, but things have changed! Thanks to the considerable advances in scientific research, cosmetic brands have made innovations and now offer lightweight, invisible, and highly effective products. Good face protection does much more than block UV rays. It offers more complete
care by protecting the epidermis from UVA, UVB, blue light and infrared rays, resulting in the prevention of early skin aging, not to mention cancer! Choose a product with a sun protection factor (SFP) of 30 or 50+, with a formula enriched with antioxidants such as Vitamin C or niacinamide and moisturizing agents, such as hyaluronic acid. The smell and sensual nature of the product are also important; you will want to carefully apply it every day. There are also fluids, gels and foams, which melt on the skin without leaving any trace. Here are the latest novelties for the summer that everyone is rushing to buy.

Care of the
Your skin is your body’s first protective barrier and, knowing that in the summer it has to withstand many aggressions such as pollution, the sun’s harmful rays, heat waves, and air conditioning at all times, you have to pay special attention and pamper it to keep it in the best possible shape. Seasonal care is therefore required. It starts in the morning with a good cleaning. In the evening, a double cleaning is also recommended to remove dirt, sweat, sunscreen residues and makeup... Be careful, however, since retinol-based products can make your skin very sensitive. Fresh mists, mild exfoliants, and delicate serums as well as light moisturizing fluids enriched with
nourishing active ingredients are welcome. For example, a Vitamin C serum combined with a high SPF sunscreen will improve the skin barrier’s effectiveness and provide it with maximum protection against UV rays. In the case of a painful sunburn, the serum will soothe the epidermis and minimize long-term damage. Don’t forget: In summer, put away your rich moisturizers because they can clog pores and therefore promote the appearance of imperfections. Finally, specialists advise against prolonged exposure to the sun and encourage the use of a sunscreen that guarantees maximum protection. Have a good summer!
