Exposure to the sun in summer can leave our skin dehydrated and in need of special care. Therefore, it is essential that you take proper care of your skin after vacation.
In this post, we are going to tell you how you should take care of your face after the summer and what facial treatments are ideal for this. Keep reading so you don’t miss anything!
Basic facial care after summer
After spending days under the scorching sun, your skin can experience a number of challenges. Ultraviolet rays can damage the skin’s protective barrier, causing dryness, redness and even peeling.
Additionally, exposure to chlorine from swimming pools and salty sea water can contribute to the loss of moisture in the skin, leaving it dehydrated and dull.
How should I take care of my face after sun exposure?
Performs a deep and gentle cleaning
After a summer full of outdoor activities, it is important to perform a deep but gentle cleansing to remove the buildup of sunscreen, sweat, makeup…
Opt for a gentle facial cleanser that is not too abrasive to avoid damaging the skin’s natural barrier.
Exfoliate your skin to renew it
Gentle exfoliation is key to removing dead skin cells and stimulating cell regeneration. You can opt for a gentle facial scrub or exfoliating mask to revitalize your skin and improve its texture.
Moisturize your skin deeply
Hydration is essential after sun exposure. Use a moisturizer rich in ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides to restore lost moisture and improve skin elasticity. Remember to apply moisturizer after cleansing and exfoliating to seal in hydration.
Use hydrating and soothing masks
Moisturizing and soothing masks can be a lifesaver for your skin after summer. Opt for masks that contain ingredients like aloe vera, calendula, or hyaluronic acid to give your skin an extra dose of moisture and relief.
Use eye contour
The skin around the eyes is delicate and can show signs of premature aging due to sun exposure. Use a hydrating and nourishing eye contour to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and dark circles.
Apply continuous sun protection to your face
Although summer is over, sun protection is essential at any time of the year. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an adequate protection factor and apply it every morning, even on cloudy days.
A healthy diet will improve your skin
A balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals is essential for skin health. Incorporate fresh fruits and vegetables, foods rich in omega-3 and drink enough water to keep your skin hydrated from within.
Rest properly
Adequate rest is essential for skin health. Get enough sleep and practice self-care to reduce stress, which can negatively affect the appearance of your skin.
