How to prolong your tan: a few simple and effective tips for golden skin, even in Autumn.

The beloved tan that we have enjoyed during our days at the beach or in the mountains, has a limited lifespan. When we come back from our holidays we know that, in a fortnight, our golden tan will start to fade a little at a time, leaving us with our original paler colour.

Once back in town, there are a few things we can do to make our tan last a few more days and to make us feel like we’re still on holiday. The products of the Body Insight line will also help us. Let’s get started!

Keyword: Hydration

Drinking plenty of water can help keep you hydrated, and if your body is sufficiently hydrated, your skin will benefit too. Green tea, freshly squeezed juices and flavoured waters are also perfect, as they also help to replenish valuable vitamins and minerals.

For more intense hydration, it is essential to use a body cream or lotion to ensure that we keep our skin supple and intact, preserving our tan.

The Power of a Good Exfoliation

In addition to moisturising, regular exfoliation, both before and after sun exposure, is a great way to get rid of dead skin cells and ensure an even and long-lasting tan. Choosing the right scrub is important: a scrub that is too aggressive will leave the skin with micro-scratches and small lesions, but if it is too mild, it will not be able to exfoliate adequatedly. That’s why,  Insight has formulated a body scrub with particles of grounded rose quartz and cherry kernel for a gentle, natural exfoliating action. These particles are suspended in a nourishing formula that promotes hydration and elasticity, and prepares the skin to absorb all the subsequent hydration.

To give your complexion a boost, you can apply a few drops of self-tanner into your moisturiser to develop a gradual and even golden hue, day after day.

Things to Avoid

On the contrary, there are things to avoid, which could have the opposite effect on our tan:

  • Indulge in long hot baths. Indulging in long hot baths. It’s certainly a relaxing habit, but doing it too consistently could have a damaging effect on the skin. The ideal thing to do is to opt for quick showers in lukewarm water, to avoid stressing the skin and damaging the hydrolipidic film which protects it;  
  • Cleansing products that contain aggressive surfactants can irritate the skin and cause widespread redness and discomfort. The ideal is to choose a shower gel that contains effective but more delicate surfactants, such as Insight Body Cleanser, a dermocompatible cleanser rich in moisturising, antioxidant and soothing ingredients, dermatologically tested on sensitive skin and ICEA Eco Bio Certified.  
  • Expose to the sun wirhout protection. Although it may feel like we are tanning more quickly, exposing ourselves to the sun without adequate protection can have harmful effects on our skin and health. Skin exposed to UV rays without a sun protection also ages faster, due to the oxidative stress it undergoes. 

Diet can Help

Incorporating seasonal fruit and vegetables into our diet is a great way to get your fill of vitamins and minerals that help you get an even and long-lasting tan. Radicchio, pumpkin, melon, cherries, tomatoes… a balanced diet that follows the seasonality of the products is an excellent choice from many points of view, and from today we give you one more reason!

Find out in 9 steps how to protect your hair from the cold and damp during the coldest and harshest days of winter.

Winter is a fascinating season, but it can be a challenge for the beauty of your hair. The cold, damp air can cause excessive damage, leading to dry, frizzy, and difficult-to-manage hair. Here are 9 tips to protect your hair and maintain a flawless style even on the coldest days.

1. HYDRATION

Cold weather can deprive hair of its natural moisture. Discover Insight’s Anti-Frizz line of nourishing products and supplement a moisturizing routine with Shampoo, Conditioner and Mask that will help maintain your hair’s softness and shine.

2. THERMAL PROTECTION

Heat tools such as hairdryers and straighteners can contribute to further damage to your hair during winter. Before using them, always apply a heat protectant to reduce heat damage.

3. REGULAR CUT

Maintaining a manageable length is essential during the winter. A regular cut will help prevent split ends and maintain healthy hair.

4. HATS AND SCARVES

Wearing hats, caps or scarves not only adds style to your winter outfit, but also protects your hair from cold winds and moisture.

5. GENTLE DRYING

Let your hair dry naturally or choose a hair dryer temperature that is not too high. Excessive heat can deprive your hair of its natural moisture.

6. DEDICATED PRODUCTS

If your hair is drier than in the warmer months, and you notice it is dehydrated and dull, use dedicated products as soon as possible to help it renew in anticipation of spring. Discover Insight’s dedicated products for dry, dehydrated hair.

7. HEALTHY DIET

A balanced diet is essential for healthy hair. Make sure you eat foods rich in nutrients such as vitamins and proteins.

8. BEWARE OF HOT WATER

Washing your hair with water that is too hot can cause dryness and damage it further. Opt for lukewarm or cold water when washing.

9. PROFESSIONAL ADVICE

An experienced hairdresser can advise you on the best products and practices to maintain the health of your hair during the winter, especially if they use certified, effective and safe products such as all the products in the Insight Professional Hair Care range.

Hair Style Trends – Autumn/Winter 2024

Hair Style Trends – Autumn/Winter 2024

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 0

Soft, rounded shapes, volume, and hair that looks messy–only the expert scissors of a professional will be able to achieve the next season’s trendy fashion cuts.

Every client has their own personality and would like their image in the mirror to reflect their character and shades or the latest fashion trends. In this Autumn/Winter season 2024, textures will dominate giving volume to scaled hair and bobs. There are no standard lengths: whether it’s short, medium, or long hair. The common denominator is the full body of the hair, combined with a fake messy and disheveled effect that, on the contrary, disguises high-end hairstyling.

If you want your clients to feel like real protagonists, discover with us the emerging trends from the runways and international stars.

Internal layering

A big trend among stars and models who love long hair is internal layering. This cut features invisible layering, which instead of being present on the outside of the hair, as is normally done, is performed on the inside or front area of the hair. The result? Voluminous, full, richly textured hair with a soft, natural effect.

Bobs for all tastes!

The success of the bob doesn’t stop. Loved by women of all ages for its versatility. It can satisfy any style desire, transforming from very short to shoulder-length. Shaggy Lob, Soft Curved, Textured, Mini Blunt, Cropped. For every client, there is a bob that best reflects their personality. The important thing is that it should be voluminous, soft, and disheveled.

Light, elastic, and vaporous bangs

Following the seasonal trend, bangs are also lightened in layers, leaving the front clearly visible. Curtain bangs – long or medium-long, framing the sides of the face, certainly remain among the most beloved. But the real novelty is the curly, vaporous, and elastic bangs, which enhance wavy and coily hair.

Pixie Cut

Very fashionable especially among famous faces who love short, impactful hair, the Pixie Cut look is achieved with clean, “chopped” cuts. For a result that is apparently do-it-yourself but instead hides the mastery of the professional and his scissors. It is a versatile haircut that adapts to the features and tastes of any client, with a messy effect styled to match the season’s trends.

Enhance your clients’ identity by helping your client choose the colour that best represents them. Everything is allowed for Autumn/Winter 2024 season!

Does your client desire a bright, characterful colour? Or do they prefer a more elegant and natural look? Allow them to choose what they like: this year’s winter season trends will have their colour desires as protagonists.

Now more than ever, in a thriving time for the beauty world where attention to one’s appearance has returned to the levels of the 1990s, it is people who create fashion, bringing out their own identity and style. This paradigm shift is also immediately noticeable in runways, magazines, and the looks of stars and influencers. Let’s see some details together!
 

Reds, Reds, Reds!

Among last season’s major players, the strong shades of bright reds, also featured in the new shades of the Incolor, continue to be protagonists. They are ideal for those who love strong, characterful looks and like to always be the centre of attention. There are many colouring systems and application techniques to choose from to harmonise the colour with the agreed cut shape… Choose the ones that best represent your client’s personality!

Zone or sectional colour

Create three-dimensional effects on the hair by overlaying different natural winter shades on top of each other for a totally customisable look.

This is a very versatile technique. Use it to achieve a gritty, impactful style, creating clearly visible colour disconnects between warm and cool, and dark and light colours. If, on the other hand, you want to achieve a more natural and elegant effect, the pattern of play between the disconnections will be less visible and softer.

The consultancy between the client and the colourist is always one of the most important moments of the whole service, to make appropriate evaluations and choices to fully meet the client’s wishes.

Insight Professional’s advice?
As an experienced colourist, it is important to listen to your client’s needs to create a look tailored to her that best represents her personality.

Raise your hand if you have a thick lock of curly hair and are satisfied with the products you use and the result obtained. This article is dedicated to you curly ones, clients who are often misunderstood and ill-advised: we want to take care of your “crown”.

We assume that the term “curly hair” actually embraces different types of hair, which need extremely different products. What are the steps to follow in the daily routine to enhance the shape and texture of waves and curls? What are the most suitable products for this hair category? 

The keyword is to moisturise: never give up on conditioner or mask, but it is also important to nourish the hair with specific sprays, avoiding alcohol-based formulations.

Another recommended technique for obtaining perfect curls is to apply styling products to very wet hair. The curl is formed during drying: the slower the drying, the better. Choosing the right product, based on the type of curl, is not easy, but neither is it impossible. 

INSIGHT has created a line dedicated to all the needs of curly hair. Discover Elasti-Curl and reactivate your curls!

We live in a time when ethical choices are no longer just an optional extra, but an urgent necessity. Climate change challenges us to make conscious choices, and this is surely true in the world of beauty.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT PRODUCTS

For an increasingly attentive and aware consumer, it is important to read product labels and inquire about ingredients and packaging quality. Especially when it comes to cosmetic products that come into direct contact with a person’s skin and hair. See below five characteristics of INSIGHT’s ethical products;

1.) International Certifications


Lines such as Sensitive and Lenitive have Cosmos Natural certification, while the Skin and Man lines boast ICEA Eco Bio certification. The Vegan OK certification of all products promotes the use of vegetable components, avoiding those of animal origin.

Thanks to constant effort to improve our formulas and production processes, and work on reducing our impact. INSIGHT’s formulas contain a high percentage of ingredients of vegetable origin. Up to 98% for the Sensitive and Lenitive lines certified Cosmos Natural, guaranteeing effectiveness and respect for the environment.

 

3.) Ozonated water without chemical residues


The innovative “ozonation” process used by INSIGHT makes mains water a suitable ingredient for cosmetic products. This eliminates viruses and bacteria without releasing chemical residues into the environment.

 

4.) Sustainable palm oil


INSIGHT’s participation in the RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) programme includes the use of Certified sustainable palm oil in its products because this helps avoid uncontrolled palm oil production, and as a result is endangering rainforests.

Ideas for a Beautiful and Sustainable Christmas!

Ideas for a Beautiful and Sustainable Christmas!

, , , , , , , , , , , , , 0

From decorations to eco-conscious. Gift ideas to experience the magic of a sustainable Christmas without sacrificing beauty.

Christmas is a time full of atmosphere, peace, and conviviality, although all too often the preparations and the search for the perfect gift can make it stressful. That’s why we give you a series of ideas to make Christmas more relaxed, sustainable, and eco-friendly, but no less glamorous.

SUSTAINABLE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS

Let’s face it: how great is it to recreate the Christmas atmosphere in your own home or salon? A string of lights framing the corners, the Christmas tree, decorations everywhere… Christmas decorations are so beautiful that some people even keep them all year round. At this time in history, however, we are being asked to go a step further, without sacrificing beauty.
How? Let’s start with the lights: a very simple step is to replace the old incandescent lights with low-consumption LED lights. The result is greater efficiency, durability, a lower impact on the electricity bill and above all energy savings of between 50 and 80 per cent. Another suggestion that maintains the idea of eco-conscious beauty are decorations in wood, fabric, or recycled glass to be preferred over plastic or PVC options.

ECO-CONSCIOUS GIFTS

According to modern bon ton, giving vintage or second-hand gifts is totally appropriate. So green light to flea markets. There is also a very funny habit called Trash Santa, which consists of recycling old presents and giving each other the ugliest or most useless gifts received over the years, but selecting them carefully based on the personality of who receives the gift. If you want to stick to the classic, and give something special, designed around the person, choose brands, like us atINSIGHT, that make eco-conscious beauty and sustainability their founding values, really makes a difference. From formulas, packaging, production to distribution, our products are designed and created with circular sustainability in mind.

THE GREENEST CHRISTMAS TREE

Although it is commonly believed otherwise, the real Christmas tree is much more environmentally friendly than the fake one. Therefore, if you have to buy a new tree, the choice can only fall on a real fir tree, preferably one that was grown in the vicinity in order to reduce the transport emissions component.

LONG LIVE LOCAL PRODUCERS

For a salon aperitif, Christmas lunch or Christmas Eve dinner, choosing food from local producers, which you cannot find in the supermarket, is certainly the most sustainable solution. Whether it is artisan panettone, meat or a typical dessert from your area, favor everything that is zero km.

ZERO-KILOMETRE HOLIDAYS AND OUTINGS

Many people work, but the Christmas holidays are also a time to get away. In terms of environmental impact, if you are planning a trip, even a few days or a few hours, the train is certainly a more sustainable option compared to the plane or the car. Then there is the most environmentally sustainable alternative of all, namely cycling or walking for those who love walking. Memorable walks and cycling routes to discover our surroundings.

Sometimes we think we have to go far away to find beauty, when it’s actually right next door.

How to counteract the undesirable yellow reflections typical of grey, white or blonde hair? INSIGHT has the solution for you.

Often blonde, grey or white hair tends to turn yellow, losing vitality and shine. This also happens due to atmospheric agents and pollution, which penetrate the hair making it opaque. 

For this reason we suggest to use the  INCOLOR Anti-yellow Shampoo , to eliminate the inevitable yellow and golden reflections typical of white, grey or blonde hair (both natural and bleached), neutralising the tendency to yellow.

It also contains the following functional active ingredients: 

  • ORGANIC EXTRACT OF CHAMOMILE – soothing, calming
  • SAFFRON EXTRACT – moisturizing, antioxidant
  • ORGANIC LEMON EXTRACT – revitalizing, purifying

How to use: Apply to damp hair, massage insisting on the most critical areas. Leave on for 2/3 minutes and rinse thoroughly.

If you are looking for a perfect shave, discover Insight MAN, our product range dedicated to men care, effective and ICEA certified.

A well-maintained, thick beard can give your face an elegant manly appearance, and is also a trendy and highly sought-after look. But at the same time, a well-shaved face has its advantages: the structure of the face is clearly visible, our general look appears more refined, and last but not least, we do not have to wait for its regrowth and constantly take care of it, to ensure that it stays healthy and disciplined.

Insight has created the Man line to cater to the specific needs of skin and beard. A line of ICEA Eco Bio certified products, with delicate and respectful formulas, which take care of the skin’s hydrolipidic barrier.

How to get a perfect shave?

Before we start, two quick tips to optimise the shaving process and achieve better results:

  • The best time to shave is in the morning, right after cleansing your face with a dedicated cleanser, to remove excess sebum produced during the night. Your skin and your face features are more relaxed in the morning, this will help you achieve a better, closer shave;
  •  If your beard is particularly long, you can trim it with scissors to give you more control when shaving.
