It is extremely necessary to use products with SPF every day. So much so that any cosmetologist or dermatologist will always say that it is the most important product in any facial routine because it is the essential element to prevent the damage that solar radiation can cause to the skin, be it from dehydration, hyperpigmentation, aging or of various and possible diseases related to DNA change.
However, it is not uncommon to see beauty centers fill up after times like summer in search of a common goal. Your customers? People looking for a thorough facial cleanse that can reduce the number of blackheads or congestion, including by continuous application of sunscreen during the warm months.
“Applying products with SPF can overload the face and even promote acne processes by a clogging of the pores. The reason for this is the composition of these products, which is normally thick and with many lipid-based components, ingredients that are more resistant to the simple daily cleaning that we can do at home. This happens more in the summer because we are more likely to use protectors and because we spend less time on facial care during holidays,” says Elisabeth San Gregorio, technical director of Medik8.
Assuming these are the consequences, there are several ways to avoid them. “It is advisable to clean more thoroughly every day and in two phases. It is better to do the first stage with an oil-based cleanser – milk, balm, oil – to thoroughly remove the SPF residue, which, due to its composition, has more affinity with this type of cleanser and will remove better,” says Estefanía Nieto, technical director of Omorovicza.
If laziness or lack of time does not allow it, “it is advisable every two days to use products that have a high power to purify or reduce the amount of sebum in our skin, thus deep cleansing the pores. Exfoliating agents, such as alpha or beta hydroxy acids or clays, are good for their ability to absorb impurities from the skin,” added Raquel González, director of education at Perricone MD.
thermal cleansing balm, from Omorovicza, is an oil-based balm, perfect for removing SPF or makeup. In addition to the lipid components, it contains mud from the Moorish Lake, in Hungary, with a purifying power. It will be perfect to remove impurities.
Another good option is a night serum like Glycolic Sleep, from Medik8. It is a peeling with glycolic acid that works while we sleep. Helps to leave the skin clean, radiant, soft and relieved. In addition, it is combined with moisturizing agents to promote clean and healthy skin. You just need to apply the indicated dose and let it act overnight, taking advantage of the skin’s circadian rhythms.
People who exfoliate toner, Perricone MD is a quick and easy way to prevent these effects by taking it daily or a few times a week. By applying a few drops after cleansing, we minimize pores and brighten the face, freeing it from impurities. It works with ingredients such as lactic acid, salicylic acid and succinic acid that exfoliate and decongest the skin.
Finally, a mask rich in purifying clay can be perfect to absorb all impurities. rose pink clay mask, from Aromatherapy Associates is a mask that cleanses, purifies and moisturizes, combined with the power of the rose and its aroma, also working from aromatherapy. It is applied and left on for ten minutes, then remove and proceed to cleanse the face.
