How do supplements help us achieve our goals?

How do superfoods help us reach our goals?

The nutrients and active ingredients we consume influence the appearance and feel of our skin. This idea led us to merge beauty and nutrition at Depuravita. Our goal is to remind everyone that beauty isn't just about using skincare products, but also about nourishing our bodies from within. It's like a harmonious relationship between what we eat and how we glow. By focusing on both aspects, we help people feel and look their best.

What are your favorite supplements?

There are a few Depuravita supplements that are my favorites, and I love using them regularly. The first is Absolute Glow Plus, which gives my skin a healthy glow. Then there's Heal My Solar Plexus, which is great for my gut health and keeps me balanced thanks to its natural ingredients. And I can't forget Strike a Pause, which provides me with vitamins and a blend of adaptogens and botanicals that I need. I also enjoy trying the different teas, cocoas, and chocolates in our range.

In the long term, where would you like to be?

In the long term, where would you like to go?

At Depuravita, we are committed to a different approach. We stand against the "fast beauty" trend, where companies flood the market with numerous low-quality products every year for marketing purposes. Instead, we are firmly rooted in the "less is more" philosophy. After each new launch, we take a thoughtful approach, reviewing and improving our existing formulas. We focus on providing exceptional quality products that stand the test of time, rather than following fleeting trends.

What is beauty to you and how do you experience it in your daily routine?

What is beauty to you and how do you experience it in your routine?

For me, beauty is a multidimensional concept that encompasses both inner well-being and outer radiance. With age, my understanding of beauty has evolved, valuing authenticity and self-care more than quick fixes. Being immersed in the industry has honed my discernment of products that align with my values.

At 47, my focus has shifted towards conscious choices that reflect my belief in sustainability. I recognize the value of authentic, well-crafted beauty products, rather than falling for empty promises of eternal youth. The allure of "magic" creams has faded, replaced by a desire for products carefully created in small batches, prioritizing quality over quantity.

What or who inspires you in your day to day life?

I'm inspired by authentic brands and people who come into my life without me actively seeking them out. They resonate with me naturally and bring me fresh ideas and perspectives. It's as if they find me, and their presence adds something special to my everyday experiences.

What is your skincare routine?

What is your skincare routine?

Keeping my face clean and detoxified is my top priority. Living in the bustling city of Milan, where pollution is a problem, this routine has become essential. In the mornings, I start with a revitalizing cleanser to tone my skin. At night, I use the double cleansing technique. During the warmer months, I use a lightweight combination of oil and cream, while in the colder months, I opt for the comfort of facial balms for deep hydration. And to complete my routine, I pamper my skin with masks once or twice a week, deepening my cleansing.

A trick or product you cannot live without

What's truly essential for me are my gua sha tools, particularly the mushroom-shaped ones. They're my secret to an effective facial massage that stimulates lymphatic drainage and ensures my skin stays fresh and revitalized.

How do you take care of your beauty from the inside out?

For me, nurturing my beauty from within is all about nutrition. My priority is eating fresh, vibrant ingredients that boost my energy and well-being.

By incorporating more fresh produce, juices, and smoothies into my diet, I can improve my energy levels and radiate that vitality outward. It's about fueling my body with the right ingredients to feel my best.
