Why it is important to change seasonal care
The skin instantly reacts to external factors: weather, environment, stress. In winter, due to the cold, wind and dry air indoors, we are concerned about dehydration and peeling. In the summer, due to the heat and sun, SPF protection and the elimination of excess oiliness are important.
The main thing in summer skin care
Increase the degree of purification and protection from SPF, add protection from binding components and antioxidants to the composition. Various procedures and components ensuring the photosensitivity of cells are established: middle peels, polishing, laser hair removal, as well as aggressive acids and retinoids.
Care for oily skin in the summer
Oily skin is most important in the summer. Choose a light texture and a smaller number of herds of inspection. If the skin actively secretes every sebum, then it is better to skip intermediate means and limit yourself to: cleansing – toning – zoologening – protection from the sun. Really clean the skin with hydrophilic oil, cleansers in the form of cream-gel and gel. Do not forget about toning. Choose moisturizing with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, aloe, allantoin. If you go outside, the last step is sunscreen. Choose SPF protection with chemical filters based on avobenzone, Meksor or Tinosorb. Such sunscreen protects only after complete penetration into the skin, apply it at least 20 minutes before going out.
Care for dry and normal skin in summer
Cleanse the skin with a combination of micellar water + foam, cream-gel with moisturizing components, for example, hyaluronic acid. Then – toning – fluids / serums – cream – sunscreen. Focus on moisturizing and layer it in several stages even in the summer. Choose moisturizers with petroleum jelly, liquid paraffin, silicone, squalene, shea or coconut oil. If there is a need for active components (Vitamin C, niacin, acids), enter them in the serum so that, if necessary, it can be easily removed from your care. Use Sunscreen with physical (mineral) filters that contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. They protect immediately after application and work only on the surface of the skin, so they do not cause irritation.
What ingredients are suitable for summer care?
These components can be divided into two groups: soothing and restorative, and neutralizing free radicals – antioxidants.
Restorative components:
Centella – perfectly heals wounds, has an anti-inflammatory and rejuvenating effect.
Panthenol – relieves tightness, burning, eliminates redness, acts on hydration in low concentrations.
Aloe practically does not cause allergic reactions, so it is used in cosmetics for people with sensitive and reactive skin.
Azulen – chamomile extract, has a strong anti-inflammatory and soothing effect.
Green tea – pay attention if you have problem and combination skin prone to oiliness.
Antioxidants:
Substances that neutralize free radicals on the surface of the skin and stimulate internal processes, slowing down the aging process.
Vitamin C – protects the skin from UV radiation, pigmentation, stimulates the production of collagen and gives the skin a unique glow. But it does not replace SPF, but only complements it. Choose a product with this component in a darkened glass package.
Vitamin E works best in combination with vitamin C. It is often added immediately to sunscreens.
