In spring, our skin slowly thaws - out of hibernation and into the light. Still delicate, still a little thin-skinned. A gentle start with light moisturiser, sun protection and mild textures - and it's ready for the big show.
But what was a gentle flirtation with the sun in spring becomes a real endurance test in summer.
Summer - sun - stress factor for the skin
Summer is hard on our skin. We travel, we swim, we lie by the lake for hours or stroll through hot old towns. Sounds fantastic - and it is. Just not for our skin.
What happens in summer:
More UV radiation = more cell stress
More sweat = more moisture loss
More chlorine & salt water = dry, irritated skin
More sun cream & make-up = clogged pores
What's more: When you're on holiday, you often reapply too little or too late, forget to apply after-sun care - and your skin reacts with a feeling of tightness, redness or even sunburn.
Behavioural tips for the summer
Make sure you spend enough time in the shade UV rays stress the skin - especially at midday. Shade protects against sunburn & premature skin ageing.
Wear clothing that protects your skin Lightweight, long clothing covers the skin - ideal protection for the neck, shoulders etc.
Drink enough water Sweating removes moisture. 2+ litres per day keep skin fresh and elastic.
Don't forget to moisturise your skin regularly Reapply sun protection every 2-3 hours. After-Sun soothes and regenerates.
Use a light care product No thick creams! Use products that moisturise without being greasy.
Conclusion: You're travelling - so is your skin
In summer, your skin is constantly on the move. It doesn't need a heavy suitcase, but smart skincare that moves with you: light, moisturising, soothing - and of course with protection from the sun.
