After the summer, the skin is surely kissed with the sun. However, if we take a closer look at it, we can easily see several shortcomings. Dryness, acne, discoloration, unevenness – these are just some of the effects of sunbathing (but not only). Check what the cosmetologist says about skin regeneration after the summer and restore the skin with a healthy look!
After a sunny holiday, many people complain about the feeling of tightening, burning and dry skin of the face.
These are very typical symptoms of skin dryness caused by excessive exposure to sun rays, wind, sand, low air humidity and taking a bath in a salty sea or a swimming pool with chlorinated water. Such environmental factors increase the process of trans epidermal water loss, which means that our body loses up to 4 times more moisture in the heat.
Moreover, ultraviolet radiation, which thickens the outer layer of the epidermis and promotes the development of free radicals (substances that affect the processes of destroying skin cells), plays a huge role in the deterioration of the skin condition after the summer.
SKIN REGENERATION AFTER SUMMER – WHERE TO START?
Today’s cosmetology knows many ways to restore the skin to good shape after a hot summer vacation.
First, after-summer care had to focus on cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing the skin.
Thanks to these simple treatments, we will get rid of dead skin, refresh the complexion, remove blackheads, and reduce minor discoloration caused by the sun.
Regeneration of dehydrated skin can take place in two ways. Firstly, relying on caring for the skin at home with the help of special cosmetics, and secondly, using cosmetology procedures.
Which of them will bring the best results?
Normal skin regeneration without pathological changes can be started with a cleansing and moisturizing treatment, e.g., Hydrofacial.
In the event of more serious shortcomings after the sun – discoloration, acne, uneven colour or even flaking – it is better to use something more intense:
* Mesotherapy – a procedure that involves injecting moisturizing, nourishing or even healing substances into the dermis. It prevents photoaging of the skin, stimulates it and revitalizes it. However, the best results are visible after a series of treatments
* Microdermabrasion – means micro peeling, consisting in mechanical exfoliation of the epidermis. Softening and then removing the stratum corneum helps to even out the colour and reduce minor discoloration
* Chemical peels – a face treatment performed with specific acids. It helps in the regeneration of the epidermis, has a rejuvenating effect, and lightens discoloration.
No matter what type of skin you have, moisturize, moisturize, and moisturize again. After the holidays, the skin will want to drink, and you must take care of it both from the outside and the inside. Therefore, choose moisturizing products containing Shea butter, hyaluronic acid, vitamins, soothing D-panthenol and allantoin. Drink at least 2 litters of water a day. Also think about humidifying the air in the room you are in. And if you are looking for the right moisturizing products for you, message me and arrange Computer Skin Analysis and free consultation.
