When we think of Italy, the first few things that crop up in our mind are pizza, pasta and art. But have you ever noticed how breathtakingly beautiful Italian women look? That's because they know how to follow a healthy diet, lifestyle and beauty routine. They believe in sticking to natural ways to keep their skin glowing and hair healthy. We dived deeper into the secret wonders of Italian women's beauty routines and found a few secrets that even you can use. Read on to find out what these secrets are and how to adopt them in your beauty routine.
01Don’t just cook with olive oil, apply it too
You can't imagine Italian food without olive oil, can you? Well, women in Italy can't imagine their beauty routine without it. Infused with hydrating squalene and anti-ageing vitamin E, applying olive oil to your skin and hair can offer a lot of benefits. It moisturises the skin making it look healthy and glowing. Most women apply olive oil to the ends of their hair after washing it to maintain a healthy shine.
02Embrace the sun, with protection
South Korean women avoid the sun at all costs. Italian women, on the other hand, tend to embrace it. The rays of the sun can be quite damaging for the skin but a little bit of sunshine never hurt anyone? However, they don't step out without wearing sunscreen to ensure their beautiful skin stays protected while the sun is up.
03Follow low maintenance routines
It's natural to get excited about beauty trends and wanting to try them all. However, women in Italy place more emphasis on timelessness than on trends. Age-old, time-tested and natural ingredients are preferred over new products. Sunscreen, moisturiser and a signature perfume and lipstick are most Italian women's idea of following a low maintenance routine.
04Indulge in dark chocolate
Eating a small piece of dark chocolate instantly increases the endorphins and serotonin levels in your brain. They believe the most attractive thing a woman can wear is her smile. So don't shy away from chocolates!
05Sip some red wine
Italian beauty routine is becoming our new favourite, first chocolate and now wine! What more could we possibly ask for! Relaxation is a virtue held dearly in Italian culture and the best way to relax and de-stress is to enjoy a glass of red wine at the end of the day.
