English Version | Under pleasure

There are two types of beauty routines: those that correspond to the needs of the skin and those that create an experience so pleasant that it resembles a home spa. To belong to the second category, one has to gather products that appeal to all human senses. Touch, sight, smell, taste, and hearing. A world of pleasure awaits us...

There are two types of beauty routines: those that correspond to the needs of the skin and those that create an experience so pleasant that it resembles a home spa. To belong to the second category, one has to gather products that appeal to all human senses. Touch, sight, smell, taste, and hearing. A world of pleasure awaits us...

Good to see

This page serves as a petition to open a museum of cosmetic products, since many reach the category of works of art. If some stand out for their packaging, others lead the way after application. Whatever the reason, there are truths that never disappoint: the eyes also eat, and in beauty there is no lack of hunger.

Good to touch

Several experts say that you should avoid touching cosmetic products directly with your fingers, preventing possible contamination. But sometimes it is hard to resist. There are creams so silky that their magnetic force fields attract our fingers without being able to look back. What about granulated scrubs? They give you goose bumps.

Good to feel

Warning: the following products are not edible, but their presence is capable of enticing the palate. After all, no act has yet been found more sensual than leaving a red lipstick mark on a glass of red wine. The relationship between our lipstick and the meal we consume is so intimate that it deserved its own privacy disclaimer.

Good to smell

Beauty fragrances do not live in perfumes alone, and the most sensitive noses will be able to state this with great assertiveness. Face and body creams, hair sprays, and a myriad of bath products can win over even the most demanding consumers just by sending a delicious scent into the air. It looks like a spell, but it is the power of cosmetics.

Good to hear

The popular acronym ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) has taken over the Internet to describe the cosmetic routines that offer the most pleasure to the sense of hearing. From the click of a cap to the sound of a texture - yes, such a thing exists - we've rounded up the products that could go viral on TikTok for their sound. A beauty regimen so relaxing, it will put some to sleep.
