Sun, sand and pleasure. It’s the almost perfect summary of a month that breathes the essence of summer and also reminds us of the importance of taking care of ourselves in a more specific way.
Hair is one of the most vulnerable parts of our body during the season. Blow Dry Bar recommends us in this sentence: “Apply a generous amount of a high-quality vegetable oil such as sweet orange, lavender or almond oil to the hair before sunbathing or swimming and your hair and color will remain intact. In addition, it will prevent the breakage of the hair fibers and you have a super hydrated mane. After washing the hair, apply a restorative and nourishing mask to the hair and leave it on for hours, with the hair rolled up in an anti-frizz towel”. Other advice? According to Dr. Carlos Portinha, Insparya’s Chief Clinical Officer, it is necessary to soak the hair in water before entering the pool so that the hair absorbs less water and is therefore less exposed to substances, such as chlorine and anti-inflammatory agents. In addition, he recommends washing hair with warm or cold water after bathing, as using hot water tends to dry out the hair and can damage hair proteins.”
And the skin? One of the widely held beliefs is that exfoliating our skin causes us to lose our tan. Obvious mistake! “The color is produced in the inner structures of the skin. When we exfoliate, we remove the dead cells that are in the most superficial layer. The color stays and the sun continues to give you, it is a cycle of cell renewal In addition, if we do not exfoliate the skin before sun exposure, we will achieve a much more homogeneous tan and if we do this at least once in the summer (when we are already tanned), we will make our tan more radiant and beautiful ” explains Aura Serras, Director of iS CLINICAL Spain. Exfoliates and moisturizes, for maximum protection and a perfect tan.
