After the summer months, it is necessary to take extra care of the skin to recover it from the damage caused by the weather and prolonged exposure to the sun in June, July and August. With the arrival of September, it is very common to notice the tone of the face duller, to find some sun spots and also blemishes caused by heat and humidity. The sun also causes dehydration of the skin and UVA rays accelerate the appearance of signs of aging, as well as changes in the arrangement of collagen and elastin fibers (which are responsible for providing elasticity to the skin). So today we are going to share with you some tips and products that will help you repair damaged skin after the holidays. The keys? Take note:
Exfoliation and Cleaning. Exfoliation (and also daily cleansing) are the key to restoring that soft skin we had before the summer, removing dead cells and also unifying the tone, in addition to preventing imperfections.
Products with vitamin C. If you’ve been out in the sun a lot in the summer, pimples can develop and one of the best ingredients to fight them once they’re on the skin is vitamin C, which has antioxidant and depigmenting properties. Another asset, azelaic acid, will also please you in these cases.
Hyaluronic Acid. After the summer, it is essential to restore the correct water levels in the epidermis. For this reason, cosmetics with hyaluronic acid will become your best allies. Hyaluronic acid molecules can hold up to 1000 times their weight in water. After the summer, our skin is stiffer and drier, and it is that we lose between 2 and 2.5 liters of water at the moment, so it is best to opt for a restorative moisturizer that contains hyaluronic acid in its composition.
Now that you know the keys to pampering your skin after summer’s indulgences, don’t miss these products we recommend here. Save cosmetics that will restore the best version of your skin!
