How skin care changes in the heat

In summer, changes in the beauty routine are made by heat and high solar activity. Here’s how to help your skin get through the holiday season without too much stress.

1. Purification

The higher the air temperature outside, the higher the activity of the sebaceous glands. So in the summer, even normal skin begins to behave like combination skin. Sebum plus sweat and city dust create conditions for clogging of pores and the formation of comedones.

To avoid this, cleanse your skin competently – twice a day and without the use of aggressive products (they provoke even more intense production of sebum).

Cleansing gel-foam Skin Naturals “Basic care” for normal and combination skin, Garnier removes make-up and eliminates impurities, acts effectively, but gently. The composition is enriched with grape extract and aloe juice.

2. Light textures

Moisturizers are needed by the skin 365 days a year, and not only in summer, but in the hot season, textures are nicer and lighter. Gel, fluid, emulsion – and no dense oily consistency.

If for some reason you do not want to buy a new product, heed the advice of L’Oréal Paris expert Marina Kamanina: “Immediately before applying the product, you can dilute your regular cream with a couple of drops of a moisturizing serum or aquafluid.”

3. Sun protection

Dermatologists recommend protecting against ultraviolet light all year round, and in the summer the need for sunscreen is not even discussed. The main thing is that the tool meets a number of requirements.

  • A broad spectrum of activity is important, that is, protection not only from type B UV rays, but also from type A rays. Look for the designation on the bottle UVA in a circle, the abbreviation PPD or the words broad spectrum.

  • The protection factor must be at least SPF 20 in urban conditions and SPF 50 – for the beach.

  • Comfort texture. Often people do not want to use sunscreens because they do not spread well on the skin, leave white marks, a sticky and greasy feeling after application.

The most convenient format for daily use (especially in the city) – dry spray, which can be applied at any time, even over makeup.

  • Anthelios mattifying face spray veil, SPF 50, La Roche-Posay controls shine, comes in a portable format.

  • Sun protection dry moisturizing face spray Ambre Solaire “Expert Protection”, SPF 50, Garnier convenient to carry – a bottle of 75 ml will not take up much space even in a small bag.
