Skincare, body and hair care after summer

Summer is a time of holidays, sunshine, swimming in the sea and endless moments outdoors. Even though it all sounds idyllic, our skin, body and hair often need special care after these months to recover from the demands of summer fun. Let’s take a look at how to care for them so they’re back in top form.

Skin

Deep hydration: Sun, salt and chlorine can cause dehydration. Start using a nourishing moisturising cream or serum to give your skin the moisture it needs.

Exfoliation: Peeling skin after sunbathing is common. A gentle peel 1–2 times a week will help remove dead cells and encourage skin regeneration.

Protection: Although summer is behind us, we need to protect ourselves from the sun’s rays all year round. Use day creams with SPF or apply sunscreen after your cream to keep your skin protected.

Body

Hydration: After swimming in the sea or pool, it’s important to moisturise your body thoroughly. Use a rich body lotion or gel and pay special attention to areas such as elbows and knees.

Exfoliation: A body scrub helps remove dead cells from the skin’s surface and leaves it smooth and fresh.

Revive your feet: Summer often means open shoes and lots of walking. Regenerate and moisturise your feet with masks, creams and treat your feet to a relaxing soak.

Hair

Intensive masks: Sun, sea water and chlorine can dry out and damage hair. Use deep restorative masks or treatments 1–2 times a week to restore shine and elasticity. Also use hair oils.

Gentle washing: Switch to shampoos without sulphates and parabens, which won’t dry out your hair.

Limit heat styling: If possible, limit the use of a curling iron and straighteners. Hair needs to regenerate after the summer strain.

Remember that besides external care, what you give your body from within is also important. Drink enough water, eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, and get enough sleep. Your skin, body and hair will thank you for it and will be ready to face new challenges!
