Contemporary beauty routine dedicates more and more space to Lip Care, transforming it into a real ritual.
On April 13, the international kiss day is celebrated, a symbolic and at the same time deeply human occasion to reflect on one of the most intimate, universal gestures and full of meaning of the entire emotional experience. The kiss is silent language, an expression of deep ties, manifestation of love, desire, tenderness or reconciliation. But it has also always been a theme dear to art and literature, which made it eternal, they investigated the emotional nuances, the evocative power, the ambivalence between meat and spirit.
The kiss between the pages and the paintings
By the ardent transport of Paolo and Francesca in V singing of Dante’s Hell – “that day we did not read more by having” – to the unreliable kiss between Anna Karenina and Vronskij in Tolstoy, the love gesture is often full of tension, prelude or epilogue of large inner changes. In literature, the kiss is a rite of passage, transformation threshold.
In figurative art, then, the kiss becomes an icon. Just think of the golden embrace of Gustav Klimt, where the bodies seem to merge into a single precious matter, suspended between sensuality and spirituality. Or to the poignant realism de Kiss by Hayez, in which the gesture contains not only passion but also a sense of urgency, perhaps of farewell, against the background of patriotic ideals. Later, Brâncu master will sculpt its essence in stone, reducing it to archaic, primitive, absolute shapes. The kiss in art, as in life, is never just a gesture: it is revelation, synthesis, enigma.
The lips, silent protagonists
Symbol of beauty and seduction, the lips are the physical fulcrum of the kiss and, not surprisingly, one of the most valued traits in aesthetic culture. Soft lips, well defined, hydrated: this is the ideal to which we often tend to, aware of the communicative power enclosed in one expression.
Treating the lips, however, is not just a cosmetic habit. It is a daily gesture of attention and self -care. The lips, free of sebaceous glands, are among the most delicate areas of the face and therefore also the most exposed to dryness, chapping and signs of the time. For this reason, today more than ever, there are skincare rituals and products formulated to respond in a targeted way to their needs.
Masks and peptides: the new language of beauty
Contemporary beauty routine dedicates more and more space to Lip Care, transforming it into a real ritual. Night masks based on shea butter, vegetable oils and hyaluronic acid help to regenerate the skin of the lips in depth, leaving them soft and plumped up when awakening. During the day, balms and lips enriched with peptides contribute to stimulating the production of collagen, attenuating the micro-housing and improving the definition of the outline.
The peptides, small but powerful allies, have become protagonists of many innovative treatments: they act as biological messengers, promoting compactness and tone, with a naturally plumping effect that enhances the shape of the lips without resorting to invasive solutions.
