Get Your Skin Ready For Summer

HERE COMES THE SUN…

Summer is finally here! What's better than feeling the sun on your skin, wearing a summer dress that's been sitting in your wardrobe for months, enjoying long evenings with a glass (or two) of rosé or having a glowing skin? But be careful, sun can cause skin damage. Here are some tips to keep your skin beautiful and sun safe this summer.

GIVE YOUR SKIN A SPLASH OF HYDRATION

During summer, your skin is busy fighting dehydration and holding moisture in. Drinking a lot of water and using face and body moisturiser is really important to keep your skin hydrated.

SUMMER VS. WINTER

During winter, temperatures are lower and the air is drier. As a result, your skin becomes incredibly sensitive. You need to use repairing and nourishing products. During Summer, your skin is sweating and tends to be dehydrated. Pores are dilated and sebum production increases. What your skin needs now is hydration.

KNOW YOUR ENEMIES

#1 Enemy: Sunshine - It makes you feel happy, helps your skin to produce Vitamin D and boosts levels of serotonin – the "feel-good" endorphin.
But we all know that UV radiation contributes to skin ageing. By activating cellular mechanisms it affects the production of melanin – the pigment that causes dark spots – but also of collagen and elastin responsible for your skin's elasticity. Use SPF products to protect your skin from damaging sun rays.

#2 Enemy: Temperatures change - Every temperature change makes your skin dry out even faster. 
To keep you skin happy, keep it hydrated! Always use SPF protection and take your skin hydration to another level with a refreshing moisturising cream.

Timing is everything

YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE

Your skin has a 24-hour natural cycle that can be broken down into 3 phases: morning, evening and night.
During summer, we recommend you start the day with a moisturising cream, along with a mattifying formula to keep shine at bay. To regenerate the skin in the evening, use a richer cream and complete your routine with a night cream, mask or serum.
