Organic skincare from the Italian countryside

How Music Can Elevate Your Skincare Routine

Imagine waking up in a picturesque Italian countryside villa, with the soft morning light filtering in through the windows and the sound of birdsong filling the air...

As you begin your skincare routine, you hear the sweet strains of an accordion playing a beautiful tarantella song from the nearby town. The music adds an extra touch of magic to your already perfect morning.

Could there be a better way to start your day?

While you may not be able to recreate this moment at your home, adding music to your skincare routine can transport you through space and time. It can elevate your routine and invoke moods and feelings that increase its benefits.

Read on to learn more about the benefits of adding music to your skincare routine and how to find the right music for you...

The benefits of music with your skincare routine

Notice how every spa you enter has some sort of calming background music? There's a reason...

Many studies show that music is great for relaxation and stress management. Music can lower your heart rate, reduce cortisol levels, and release endorphins, which all impact skin health.

Here is a list of many potential benefits of listening to music during your skincare routine:

Promotes relaxation
Reduces stress
Boosts mood
Improves memory
Increases product absorption (Does this sound like stretch? Studies show music can stimulate blood flow and circulation, which experts say increases the effectiveness of skincare products.)
Reduces chronic pain

The benefits may be more, but the point is - adding music to your skincare routine can take it to the next level.

Need help finding the right music?

Creating the perfect skincare playlist

Certain types of music are known to having a relaxing effect. Try some of the following:

Classical music
Nature sounds
Instrumental music
Spa music
Meditation music
Your favorite artist or album
Traditional Italian music (especially if you want to be transported to Italy while using Sole Toscana products)

In the morning, you might try a little more upbeat music to help you wake up and take on the day. Pay attention to what your mind and body need.

Skincare as self-care

We believe skincare should be much more than focusing on the cosmetic benefits....

In fact, its primary focus should be on improving the health of your skin and overall health of your mind and body.

When you understand skincare as a form of self-care, that's when you'll truly reap all the benefits.

You'll find yourself approaching skincare in a different way...

You'll care more about finding healthy skincare ingredients and products.

You'll focus on connecting with and caring for yourself.

You'll want your skin to "feel" good.

You'll try new ways to elevate your skincare routine (like listening to music).

And you'll find skincare plays an important role in your overall health.
