Summer brings more sun, heat, and exposure to external factors that can dry out and damage the skin. Below are tips on how to adjust your skincare routine in the summer months to keep your skin hydrated, protected, and glowing.
Focus on light formulas and textures
Increased sweating and sebum secretion can be challenging in the warmer months. During the summer, skin is more sensitive due to heat and sweating, and sebum production increases. Choose light serums and creams that will not leave a heavy layer on the skin, while at the same time hydrating. Vitamin B3 serum will be extremely suitable, given that it regulates sebum secretion and has a light, liquid texture that is absorbed instantly. After the serum, it is good to conclude the care with a cream. Routeen deLIGHT Gel Face Cream will provide hydration without feeling heavy on the skin, it is ideal for hot days because it nourishes, refreshes and cares for the skin without a greasy shine.
SPF is your best friend (even when it's cloudy)
Sun protection is perhaps the most important step in any routine. Increased exposure to UV rays can cause skin damage, premature aging, and the appearance of spots and freckles. Sun protection is therefore a key step in your daily routine. Regardless of whether it is cloudy or sunny, in the summer you should apply a cream with a protective factor every day and renew it throughout the day. Dry skin is going to love richer textures such as SunCream. Face Fream SPF 30 , and mixed and oily mousse textures of Professional Fluids and Creams that also mattify and regulate sebum secretion during the day.
Antioxidant skin protection with vitamin C
Vitamin C is one of the most powerful antioxidants in skin care, especially during the summer when the skin is exposed to increased UV rays and external pollution. Its main role is the neutralization of free radicals - unstable molecules that are formed under the influence of the sun and environmental factors, and can cause premature aging, loss of shine and the appearance of freckles and blemishes. Ethylated ascorbic acid, one of the most stable forms of vitamin C, found in Vitamin Serum C+ strongly neutralizes free radicals, thereby protecting the skin from oxidative stress. This helps prevent photoaging, reduces the visibility of hyperpigmentation and spots, and stimulates collagen synthesis for firmer and more elastic skin. It is important to emphasize that vitamin C is not a substitute for SPF, but its antioxidant properties further enhance skin protection and help prevent photodamage, and in combination with SPF, this protection is completed.
You can never go wrong with hydration
Every skin type, even oily skin, needs hydration. Heat and sun can dry out the skin, so it's important to maintain a good level of hydration.
