With the arrival of summer, our skin is exposed to new challenges that require an adaptation of the usual skincare . The intense sun and high temperatures can cause dehydration , increased sebum production , sunburn and premature aging . A proper summer skincare protects the skin and keeps it hydrated and fresh.
Here are our tips for a summer-proof routine!
Exfoliation and Cleansing in preparation for the holidays
Exfoliation is a crucial step in skincare in any season, but it becomes even more important during the summer, when heat and humidity can increase sebum production and clog pores. Well-exfoliated skin appears more radiant and, more importantly, absorbs subsequent treatments better. For effective and gentle exfoliation, choose products with soothing and hydrating ingredients , such as hyperthermal water, and use them in combination with nourishing cleansers , but with a light and thirst-quenching texture .

Even deeper hydration with the right ingredients
Hydration , during the summer, deserves a chapter of its own. In this period, the skin needs light but effective products, with ingredients that offer deep hydration and a soothing effect. Among the most effective, it is impossible not to mention hyperthermal water , rich in minerals that nourish and regenerate the skin, and spirulina , known for its antioxidant and hydrating properties. Aloe vera and coconut oil also offer a soothing and refreshing action, appreciated, like shea butter , for long-lasting hydration. Finally, urea and hyaluronic acid are two other ingredients not to be forgotten in your summer skincare, effective in retaining moisture and keeping the skin elastic and soft.

Sun and heat stress your skin? Protect and soothe!
But we know there's more to dehydration than that. During the summer, skin is often exposed to stressors such as UV rays , intense heat and salt water , which can cause irritation and inflammation. It is therefore important to integrate soothing treatments into your daily skincare routine. These are products that offer targeted solutions to calm and regenerate stressed skin , reduce redness and offer immediate relief to inflamed areas. Soothing agents are often combined with antioxidant ingredients , which repair and regenerate the skin, counteracting the harmful effects of the sun.
