During the summer months we usually pay a lot of attention to protecting our skin from the sun's rays and the dehydrating action of the environment. However, we often forget that facial skin is the most delicate and requires specific and targeted treatment to preserve its health and radiance.
It is essential to understand the importance of proper facial skin care during the summer, in order to keep it radiant and protected from harmful external agents.
Let's start with sunscreen:
Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an adequate sun protection factor (SPF) is essential to prevent damage caused by UV rays. Making sure your sunscreen is suitable for your skin type and reapplying it regularly throughout the day is essential to keep your facial skin protected from sun damage.
Thorough cleaning of the skin is another crucial aspect.
During the summer, the skin of the face can be more exposed to sweat, sebum and impurities, therefore correct daily hygiene is essential. Use a delicate cleanser suitable for your skin type, avoiding washing your face with too hot water which could cause dryness and irritation. After cleansing, gently pat the skin dry with a clean towel.
Double cleansing to restore the luminosity of the skin of the face:
- Spread Sweet Almond Oil on a dry face, then wipe with a cotton ball to remove all traces of make-up and impurities.
- Immediately afterwards, wash your face with the Delicate Cleansing Mousse and rinse thoroughly, always remembering to use lukewarm water.
Double cleansing is well tolerated even by those with dry and sensitive skin.
Keeping your skin hydrated is an essential step in your summer routine.
Despite the hot climate, facial skin can suffer from dehydration due to exposure to the sun and dry air. Choose a light moisturizer, made with nourishing and hydrating ingredients, that absorbs quickly without weighing the skin down. Additionally, using a light, hydrating face serum can provide an extra layer of hydration and nourishment to your skin.
Guide to recommended treatment for various skin types:
Stressed and wrinkled skinWith the arrival of summer, it is advisable to continue the treatment with the Re-Vital Supreme Cream alone. Do not give away the remaining serum because in September you will start the complete treatment again. Remember to keep it in a dry and possibly dark place, light weakens the effect of the natural active ingredients it contains.
Normal to dry skinIdra-Lize Face Cream is the innovative high tolerability face treatment and new cosmetic technology. Its revolutionary formulation deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin which, from the very first applications, will appear visibly more compact and with smoothed and plumped lines. It guarantees immediate, deep and prolonged hydration by strengthening the skin's protective barrier, thus offering an important film-forming effect. These features make Idra-Lize Face Cream an excellent anti-aging cream.
Oily and combination skin.
From the summer, oily skin takes all the benefits of the sun's antiseptic action, so it's the best time to let it breathe as much as possible. However, it is precisely in this season that oily and combination skin can get worse due to high temperatures and humidity, factors that increase the typical shiny effect. This is why in summer it is essential to use the Face Cream for Oily and Combination Skin to visibly improve the appearance of oily skin thanks to its sebum-balancing, opacifying and absorbent effect. Furthermore, it prevents the onset of skin imperfections such as pimples and blackheads to regulate.
An important tip for all skin types:
It is important to consider that the condition of our skin can vary on a daily basis, and this may require different levels of nourishment and hydration. There are several factors that can influence these variations, such as our diet - consuming more salty or fatty foods - or the amount of liquids we drink, as well as the hardness of the water. Furthermore, we cannot overlook the impact of the menstrual cycle, as the hormonal imbalances that occur during this period can increase or decrease the production of sebum in our skin, making it oilier or drier depending on the day.
All this to emphasize that a treatment that works today may not be adequate in three days, or it may be too much. It's important to learn to listen to our skin and to always have the most suitable treatment available to address its needs at all times.
