The Ultimate Simple Skin Care Guide (With Italian-Made Favorites to Try!)

Q: What makes Italian soap different from other soaps?

Italian soaps are known for their artisanal craftsmanship, use of premium natural ingredients like olive oil, and traditional production methods that result in gentle cleansing and rich lather.

Q: Are Italian soaps good for sensitive skin?

Many Italian soaps are suitable for sensitive skin because they are formulated with natural oils, botanical extracts, and without harsh detergents that strip the skin’s natural moisture.

Q: How are traditional Italian soaps made?

Traditional Italian soaps are often produced using slow-curing or kettle-based methods that allow ingredients like olive oil and plant butters to retain their nourishing properties.

Q: How should Italian bar soap be stored?

To extend the life of Italian bar soap, store it in a dry, well-ventilated soap dish between uses so excess water can drain away.

Healthy, glowing skin doesn’t require a dozen products — just the right basics. Let’s walk through a simple daily routine and show you the best Italian artisanal products from Buona Fortuna Boutique that make it effortless and enjoyable. 🇮🇹✨

🧼 Step 1: Cleanse — Gently but Effectively

Good skin care always starts with cleansing. The goal isn’t to strip your skin — it’s to remove impurities while keeping moisture intact.

Recommended Cleansers

Olivella Face & Body Liquid Soap — A beloved all-natural liquid soap made with ultra-purified virgin olive oil that gently cleanses without drying. Great for sensitive skin and everyday use.

Olivella Face & Body Bar Soap — Classic olive oil soap with antioxidants and natural emollients for soft, nourished skin.

HerbSardinia Artisan Soaps – Organic, handmade soaps with calming scents (like lavender and citrus) that cleanse naturally and delight your senses.

👉 Tip: Cleansing twice a day — morning and night — prepares skin for better hydration and treatment absorption.

💧 Step 2: Hydrate & Moisturize

Once skin is clean, hydrating and locking in moisture is key to a youthful, radiant complexion.

Daily Hydration Heroes

Olivella Hydra Moisture Gel Cream — Lightweight but super nourishing face cream made with 100% virgin olive oil and vitamins. Perfect for daily moisturizing, under makeup or on its own.

Luce di Sorrento Premium Lux Face Oil — A rich but fast-absorbing face oil with lemon-infused Olive Oil and squalane to boost radiance and elasticity.

Olivella Body Lotion — Silky body lotion enriched with calming Melissa leaf oil, ideal for full-body hydration.

Olivella Refreshing Body Oil — A refreshing olive body oil with mint for a cooling post-shower glow.

🌟 Step 3: Treat & Glow — Serums & Specialty

Serums deliver active ingredients to target specific skin needs like brightness, firmness, and elasticity.

Serums & Lux Treatments

Luce di Sorrento Perfection Lux Face Serum — A powerhouse serum with Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and LemonLux® complex to brighten, firm, and rejuvenate your complexion.

Luce di Sorrento Global Lux Face Cream— Pair with the serum for deeper hydration and wrinkle smoothing.

Luce di Sorrento Prestige Lux Face Mask — A weekly treat for intense hydration and glowing skin.

✨ Pro Tip: Apply serums after cleansing and before moisturizer — they penetrate deeper to deliver benefits where skin needs them most.

🤲 Hand & Body Care That Shows

Don’t forget the parts of you that are most exposed daily: hands, arms, and body.

Olivella Hand Cream keeps hands smooth and nourished — especially during dry weather (Olivella Hand Cream).
