Skin Booster: the new allies for a perfect skin
In recent years, interest in faster aesthetic treatments for skin care has grown significantly: from hybrid cosmetics to fillers, all the way to boosters. In fact, one of the current trends that is gaining more and more attention is the use of skin boosters to quickly improve the appearance of the skin, making it brighter and younger.
But what exactly are skin boosters? How do they work and what are they for? Let's find out together.
What is a skin booster?
The term booster, derived from the English "to boost" meaning "to increase, enhance, amplify" aligns perfectly with the action of these products that aim to enhance and amplify the beneficial effects of specific active ingredients on the appearance and health of the skin.
More precisely, skin boosters are aesthetic treatments that increase the levels of hyaluronic acid in the skin.
This substance is naturally present in our body and plays a crucial role in keeping the skin hydrated and plump. However, over time, the levels of this element decrease, leading to skin dryness, dehydration and signs of aging. This is where skin boosters come into play, with their intensive and concentrated formulas, they help to improve the health of the skin.
This process leads to almost immediately visible results, such as the restoration of hydration, improvement in elasticity and stimulation of collagen production.
The uniqueness of skin boosters is that they do not just correct specific flaws or wrinkles but work to improve the skin as a whole. This treatment gives the skin brightness and a youthful, healthy appearance.
What are the benefits and effects of skin boosters?
Skin boosters are used for a variety of purposes. Here are some of the main applications:
- Intensive hydration: helps to combat dry and dehydrated skin, giving it a younger and healthier appearance.
- Reduction of wrinkles and fine lines: the increase in hydration and stimulation of collagen help to reduce wrinkles and fine lines, improving the texture and elasticity of the skin.
- Prevention of premature aging: they help to prevent the signs of aging and maintain young and healthy skin in the long term thanks to their hydrating action and stimulation of collagen.
How do skin boosters work?
When injected into the skin, the hyaluronic acid in skin boosters acts like a sponge, absorbing water and keeping the skin hydrated for a long time. This increase in hydration gives the skin a smoother appearance, reducing wrinkles. Additionally, hyaluronic acid stimulates the production of collagen, a key protein responsible for the skin's elasticity and firmness.
Unlike traditional fillers, which are injected to fill specific areas of the face, skin boosters are evenly distributed in the skin, working in synergy with the body's natural processes to improve its overall health. This holistic approach allows for more natural and faster results.
Difference between serum and booster
When it comes to skincare products, two terms that are often confused are serum and booster. Although both are applied before usual treatments, they have significant differences in their formulation and purpose.
The serum is a staple in the beauty routine, designed to counteract and slow down the typical signs of aging, such as sagging, wrinkles and skin spots. It usually has a light consistency and contains a high concentration of active ingredients, such as antioxidants, vitamins and acids that act at a deeper level of the skin, to provide nourishment and intense hydration. Its targeted action, applied before moisturizing cream, helps to improve the skin's texture and reduce the signs of aging over time.
On the other hand, the booster is a more fluid product designed to provide an immediate burst of energy to the skin. It is intended to solve specific and temporary problems, such as fatigue, dullness or skin dryness. This treatment acts as an amplifier, offering rapid and intense results thanks to its concentrated formula of active ingredients. It is therefore a shock treatment to be used as needed, to achieve a quicker and more noticeable effect compared to the normal daily skincare routine.
Difference between filler and booster
It's important to distinguish between fillers and skin boosters, two common aesthetic treatments used to improve the appearance of the skin and counteract the signs of aging. However, they differ significantly in composition and approach to skin rejuvenation.
Fillers, usually composed of hyaluronic acid or similar substances, are injected directly into wrinkles or areas where volume needs to be restored, with the aim of achieving a younger and plumper appearance. These treatments can produce long-term results, however, depending on the concentration of hyaluronic acid, they can have different purposes: for example, revitalizing fillers contain hyaluronic acid combined with nutrients and antioxidants to improve the overall appearance of the skin, while hydrating fillers are designed primarily to enhance skin hydration and contain light hyaluronic acid.
In contrast, skin boosters can be made with hyaluronic acid, collagen or other substances and act in the superficial layers of the skin, with the goal of improving hydration, brightness and texture. They are particularly suitable for those who want a younger and brighter appearance without the filling effect or a drastic change in facial volumes.
At what stage of skincare is the skin booster applied?
The correct application of the skin booster in the beauty routine is a key element to achieve the best results. Following the layering technique, the best order would involve applying products from the most watery to the creamiest or oiliest. This means that products with a lighter consistency, such as the skin booster and serum, should be applied first, followed by the moisturizer, which can have a richer consistency.
Therefore, after daily cleansing, it is advisable to immediately proceed with the application of the skin booster, and then continue with a body serum or a face serum, like Magnifico. This product, based on thermal water, has a specific anti-aging effect and promotes the natural regeneration of the skin, making it valuable due to its exceptional functionality.
After applying the booster and serum, it's time to move on to the moisturizing or anti-aging cream. Choose a cream suitable for your skin type and apply it evenly over the entire face or the body areas you are most interested in. The moisturizer will help to seal in hydration and nourish the skin, completing your beauty routine.
How to apply a skin booster
After cleansing, start by applying the skin booster to the areas you wish to treat or enhance.
Take a small amount of booster on your fingertips or directly on your face and apply it with light movements. Since skin boosters usually have a very fluid consistency, they will easily spread over the skin, preparing it for the subsequent steps of the beauty routine.
You can focus on specific areas such as the cheeks, forehead or neck, depending on your needs, while for the body, you can concentrate on arms, legs, abdomen or buttocks. At Tempio della Salute, we propose Sculptura for the body, an intensive two-phase treatment lasting 28 days, with an intensive lipolytic action, formulated to combat cellulite imperfections and reshape the figure.
After applying it, you can proceed with the serum and moisturizer.
Skin boosters as an addition to your beauty routine
Skin boosters are a valuable addition to the beauty routine to achieve luminous, hydrated and healthy skin. By choosing products suitable for your skin type and applying them correctly, you can significantly improve the quality of your skin, achieving a radiant appearance and even tone in a short time.
