How to properly hydrate your skin during summer?

After the cold of winter, it's time for long sunny days. Between UV rays, sea water, the swimming pool and the temperature changes caused by air conditioning, your skin is constantly attacked during the summer period! To avoid finding it completely dried out when you return from vacation and to prolong your tan, protect it by moisturizing it every summer day with the appropriate care.

Why should you hydrate your skin even in summer?

Our skin is put to the test, summer and winter. Like the cold, the sun dries up the skin of the face. To face it and expose yourself freely without suffering its effects, the use of a moisturizer must be part of the beauty rituals of the summer.

Dehydration is a phenomenon that sets in gradually and is treated over a long period of time. To avoid the inconvenience, simply apply a moisturizer to the face morning and evening. Used before and after each exposure to the sun, it restores the hydrolipidic film on the surface of the skin and helps soothe inflammation suffered following exposure to the sun.

Recognize the signs of dehydrated skin

Dehydrated skin lacks comfort and radiance. She will age prematurely and become much more sensitive to external aggressions.

When the skin lacks water, the protective barrier that covers the upper layer of the epidermis can no longer perform its role properly. Water no longer circulates to the epidermis, accelerating the drying process. The skin begins to tighten and scales may appear.

In the case of dry to very dry skin, these inconveniences are almost permanent. These skins lack water but also lipids. Without proper care, they shoot and heat. Redness may appear.

Contrary to popular belief, oily skin is not immune to temporary dehydration. A greasy and oily skin may very well lack water. To detect it, examine your skin carefully. Tiny ridiculous faces on the face, more particularly in plump areas such as the cheeks, indicate a water deficit.

To each skin its type of care

Hydration is therefore essential. It is also necessary to choose the care adapted to the needs of our skin. Follow our guide to find the right one for you.

Care for normal to oily skin:
