Skin Restoration: The 2 + 1 steps for healthy & glowing skin after summer

The summer holidays are officially over and even if you feel physically and mentally refreshed, your face probably can't say the same. This is because, as the sunburned face begins to fade over time, skin damage from overexposure to the sun becomes more and more visible. As a result, the face loses its natural freshness and radiance, acquiring a dull appearance, which is usually accompanied by dehydration, dryness, peeling and / or a feeling of tightness.

If this sounds familiar to you, the need for intensive care and redress is essential. Because as long as the woman is aware of the dangers of ultraviolet radiation and takes care of her skin, she is not at risk of premature aging. A careless skin, however, leads to photoaging, which when it becomes visible, the condition is usually irreversible. For this reason, we have gathered in this article the basic steps that you can follow to restore the radiance and health of your skin.

Step 1: Cleaning

The best way to start your skin recovery is with a gentle and gentle cleansing routine. Use a mild cleanser morning and night to remove dead cells and excess sebum. Be careful, though, that even cleansing should go with the needs of your skin. In any case, avoid hot water and do not leave the product on your skin for a long time - one minute is more than enough!

EXTRA TIP: If you feel your skin is quite dry and chapped, try the foam concentrated cleansing product Special Cleansing Gel by Dermalogica. Ideal for all skin types and specially designed to perfectly remove impurities without removing the moisture necessary for the skin, Special Cleansing Gel contains menthol and lavender extracts that soothe the skin, minimize the appearance of pores and balance the levels. In addition, based on natural soaps, it gently removes toxins and cleanses the face in depth. Try it and you will remember us!

Step 2: Exfoliation

Next, you need to remove dirt and dead cells from your skin. A good facial peel frees clogged pores and promotes blood circulation to the deeper layers of the skin, thus enabling it to more easily absorb the nutrients it needs. In this way, the basis is created for a healthier and cleaner face, which is now more receptive to the absorption of moisturizing products. Exfoliation should be done strictly at night, before you fall asleep, on the one hand to be combined with the natural process of repair and regeneration of cells that occurs during sleep and on the other hand because the skin becomes particularly sensitive to UV rays after exfoliation.

EXTRA TIP: "Professional" peels performed by a beautician, such as facial rejuvenation treatment with acids or even microcrystalline dermabrasion, work more intensely than home peeling as they accelerate the natural rate of skin renewal, giving a perfect, youthful , velvety appearance.

Step 3: Hydration

During the summer, the skin's natural protective barrier suffers from excessive sweating and dirt resulting in the skin looking rough. A rich nourishing moisturizer soothes dryness or irritation caused by the sun's rays and high temperatures. So, choose one that is compatible with the needs of your skin and use it morning and night on a daily basis after cleansing your face.

EXTRA TIP 1: To minimize the damage that your skin has suffered from the sun (dryness, dullness, discoloration & wrinkles), we recommend the revolutionary C-Tetra Cream by Medik 8. Rich in 100% stable form of vitamin C and vitamin E, this formula offers strong antioxidant protection, preventing damage from free radicals and protecting the skin from environmental stressors such as pollution and exposure to ultraviolet radiation.

EXTRA TIP 2: For extra nutrition and cool rejuvenation try the following natural face mask with avocado and olive oil.
