Your Glow with Alinari Firenze Skincare

When it comes to skincare, knowing your skin's needs is the first step toward achieving a healthy, radiant glow. At Alinari Firenze, we’re here to make skincare simple, effective, and enjoyable. Today, let’s dive into two key topics: the difference between dry and dehydrated skin and the magic of serum layering.


What’s the Difference Between Dry Skin and Dehydrated Skin?

Dry Skin:
Dry skin is a skin type, meaning it doesn’t produce enough natural oils (sebum). Without enough oil, your skin can feel tight, itchy, or flaky, especially around areas like your nose, mouth, and forehead.

Dehydrated Skin:
Dehydrated skin, on the other hand, is a condition where your skin lacks water. It can happen to any skin type (even oily!). Dehydrated skin feels tight, looks dull, and may show fine lines or redness.

How to Tell the Difference?

Try the pinch test: Gently pinch your cheek. If it wrinkles and looks papery, your skin may need more hydration.


How Can You Fix Dehydrated Skin?

  • Drink Water: Hydration starts from within. Aim for 8 glasses a day and snack on water-rich foods like cucumber and watermelon.
  • Choose the Right Products: Use hydrating serums like our Triple Level Hyaluronic Serum to deeply replenish your skin.
  • Avoid Harsh Products: Over-exfoliating or using the wrong products can strip your skin of moisture. Stick to gentle, nourishing formulas.
  • Add a Humidifier: Keeping the air moist helps your skin retain hydration, especially in colder months.

What’s a Serum Sandwich, and Why Should You Try It?

Think of the serum sandwich as your skincare power move. It’s all about layering products in the right order for maximum results:

  1. Start Clean: Use a gentle cleanser like our Almond Cleansing Milk to prep your skin.
  2. Boost Absorption: Apply a toner like our Helichrysum Toner to balance your skin.
  3. Target Concerns: Layer your serums based on your skin needs, like our Hibiscus Serum for hydration or Brightening Essence for dullness.
  4. Lock It In: Finish with a moisturizer, like our Aloe Face Cream, to seal everything in.

This technique allows active ingredients to penetrate deeply while keeping your skin hydrated and protected.


Morning vs. Night Serums

Did you know your skin has different needs during the day and night?

  • Morning Serums: Look for brightening or protective serums like Kakadu Plum Extract or Hyaluronic Acid BT to shield your skin and keep it glowing throughout the day.
  • Night Serums: Opt for repairing and hydrating formulas like our Hibiscus Serum, which works overnight to renew and rejuvenate your skin.

Common Questions About Skincare

Q: Can I use multiple serums in one routine?
A: Absolutely! Just layer them from the thinnest to the thickest texture. For example, use a hydrating serum first, followed by a brightening or anti-aging serum.

Q: How often should I exfoliate?
A: 1–2 times a week is usually enough. Try our Almond Face Scrub and let it sit for a few minutes as a mask before gently massaging it off.
