Why is it important to adapt your facial care routine to the summer season?
In summer, we adopt a different rhythm: we spend more time outdoors, our diet changes and we expose ourselves more often to the sun's rays. If our morale is boosted, our skin must adapt to a particularly intense season for its beauty and health.
The sun's rays, the water from the swimming pool and the sea, the heat, but also the higher atmospheric pressure in summer are all external elements which have a direct influence on our skin. It is more difficult for it to breathe in summer and this can manifest itself in particular through excess sebum, responsible for increased shine.
As you know, the sun can have particularly harmful effects on the skin: for this of course we are used to applying protective filters, especially when we are in the mountains or by the sea. This reflex action should not, however, be forgotten in the city where pollution tends to weaken our skin and make it even more vulnerable to solar radiation. Summer is therefore a season that should encourage us to be extra careful in all the care we give to our skin, morning and evening. Of course, the beauty of our skin also depends on our environment and our lifestyle habits. A complete skincare routine must be accompanied by a good diet and good hydration.
The skin: an essential organ that must be taken care of in summer
Atmospheric pressure, sun, heat, pollution, chlorinated water and salt water: in summer the skin is put to the test. It can shine more, feel tight, dry out, or even turn red if it is poorly protected from the sun's rays. To avoid these inconveniences and to ensure the longevity of your skin, it is essential to clearly identify the problems that the epidermis may encounter in summer. The skin is an organ which represents 16% of our total weight, it plays the role of a protective barrier against external aggressions such as water, sun and heat, but also pollution. So that it can fully fulfill its function, it is important to consider the skin at its true value, that is to say as a mirror of our health. Adapting your facial care routine in summer therefore promotes the longevity of our skin and our overall health. For example, protecting your skin from the sun's rays from an early age means taking lasting action for your health by avoiding the rebound effect as well as premature skin aging. It is by identifying all the problems that your skin may encounter and by combining them with your environment that you will be able to adopt a suitable treatment protocol.
The facial care routine to adopt throughout the summer
The need: freshness, hydration and protection
The heat is more and more intense and periods of heatwave are more and more frequent. From the morning, the skin feels hot and is hit hard by the effects of fine particles and the higher atmospheric pressure.
Throughout the summer, give the skin a refreshing boost by adopting the Mist 27 toning mist. The trace elements help to rehydrate the skin and remineralize it while Centella Asiatica helps it regenerate. Mist 27 also helps nourish the protective microbiota naturally present on the epidermis, like a 4th layer of our skin. During the summer, it is important to limit the water loss that the skin may experience. To do this, we rely on intense hydration adapted to the nature of your skin. If your skin is thin and dry, apply Baume 27 so that it can repair itself by promoting the proper synthesis of collagen. The aloe vera present in Baume 27 soothes while the Shea butter and natural Sesame and Macadamia oils intensely nourish the epidermis.
For combination or oily skin, undoubtedly opt for the light texture of Bio-logic 27 cream. Moisturizing and anti-pollution, this cream composed of prebiotics and probiotics is ideal for reducing the impact of toxins while stimulating the microbiota . For more protection and even more comfort throughout the summer, do not hesitate to add a few drops of Oil 27 to your creams. The skin will then retain all its suppleness and radiance thanks to Omega 3 and 6. which strengthen the skin barrier and thanks to Centella Asiatica and Carrot oil which contribute to skin regeneration. Likewise, regularly during the summer season, boost hydration by applying Mask 27 in a thick layer.
The need: cleansing and exfoliation
In summer, morning and evening, the essential action is undoubtedly cleaning. Outdoor elements are more likely to suffocate the skin in summer. However, when the skin breathes poorly, it reacts with excess sebum which can cause discomfort and increased shine, particularly in the T zone. Likewise, it is essential to adapt cleansing to the nature of the skin. Combination and oily skin can opt for the Pure 27 Cleanser purifying cleansing gel to rid the skin of impurities and toxins while clarifying the complexion. If, however, your skin is drier and more sensitive, opt for Cleanser 27, a cleansing and moisturizing treatment that fully replenishes your skin.
When you have more time, incorporate a peel into your routine. Peel 27 powder combines three types of exfoliation: mechanical, enzymatic and chemical. Throughout the summer, remember to regularly exfoliate your skin to refine the texture and maintain an even, radiant complexion.
Remember to follow this skincare routine throughout the summer to provide your face with the hydration and care it needs during this particularly delicate season for the skin. Each season has its own problems and see you soon to find out what skincare routine to give to your skin during the fall!
