Summer is such a wonderful season, isn’t it?! Long days, warm sunshine and spending time outdoors. But while you’re enjoying yourself, your skin can sometimes have a hard time. UV rays, heat, salt water and air conditioning can throw your skin out of balance. With the right summer skincare routine, you can keep your skin hydrated, protected and glowing – all summer long.
Why does your skin need extra care in summer?
In the summer, your skin is exposed to more UV radiation, which can lead to dehydration, pigment spots and premature skin aging. Perspiration, chlorine from swimming pools and salt water can also damage your skin's natural protective layer.
In addition, air conditioning and many hours of sunshine cause your skin to lose moisture, which can make it feel tight, dull or restless. Time to adapt your care to the summer conditions!
Essential Summer Skin Care Tips
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate
Opt for a light, hydrating cream or gel with ingredients like aloe vera, hyaluronic acid or niacinamide. These will keep your skin fresh and supple, without being too heavy.
Sun protection is essential
Apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every day – even on cloudy days. Don't forget your neck, ears, hands and feet!
Calm down after sunbathing
Use an after-sun or soothing mask with, for example, chamomile or aloe vera to cool and restore your skin.
Cleanse gently but thoroughly
Sweat, sunscreen and dirt can clog pores. Use a gentle cleanser and cleanse your face morning and night.
Drink enough water
Keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Water with a slice of lemon, fresh mint or cucumber makes it extra refreshing.
Scrub in moderation
Use a gentle exfoliant once a week to remove dead skin cells, but don't overdo it – your skin is already more sensitive in the summer.
Radiate through the summer with a professional treatment
In addition to your daily routine, a refreshing facial can do wonders. At DermaCare.nl we tailor treatments to your skin type and the summer conditions. Think of a hydrating boost, a calming treatment after the sun, or a mild fruit acid peel to make your skin glow.
