Protecting Your Skin in Summer: Our Everyday Tips
Towel under your arm, sunglasses on — you're all set to enjoy summer! But every year, the same problems come back. Sunburn, heat and dehydration can all take a toll on your skin. At Ulyxa, we have exactly the right advice to help you through the season!
First, you need to understand how your skin works and read its reactions so you can respond the right way. Your skin has a protective barrier: the hydrolipidic film. Made up of water and lipids, it's weakened by summer heat and UV rays. UVA and UVB rays are not only responsible for sunburn — they also speed up skin ageing. All summer long, our skin is put under strain by swimming and air conditioning, both of which dry out the epidermis. The first signs to appear are dryness, tightness and redness.
Tip 1: A Gentle but Refreshing Cleanse
In the morning, a gentle toner is enough to cleanse your skin and remove the excess sebum that built up overnight.
Leave your toner in the fridge overnight to give your skin a burst of freshness and an instant boost.
Tip 2: Adapt Your Makeup
To avoid panda eyes and foundation that leaves unflattering streaks, go easy on the makeup.
In high heat, your skin doesn't need to be smothered under a ton of powder that hides your beautiful tan. Instead, choose a lightweight foundation that gives you a healthy glow while protecting you from UV rays!
Say goodbye to smoky eyes — hello nude tones!
Tip 3: After Sun Exposure
Throughout the day, or after a long time in the sun, you can also refresh your skin with cool water or a thermal water spray. Thermal water is excellent for hydrating the skin without drying it out or leaving limescale residue behind.
Tip 4: Hydrate and Cleanse Your Skin Properly at Night
Your skin needs to breathe and re-oxygenate overnight. For that, it has to be free of impurities, makeup residue, sand and pollution. Reach for a cleansing oil and wipe the slate clean!
Well-hydrated skin is less prone to sunburn and premature ageing.
Always make sure you choose your moisturiser according to your skin type:
- Dry skin: go for a deeply nourishing cream.
- Combination to oily skin: opt for deep, lightweight hydration instead.
Tip 5: Proper Sun Protection
Protecting yourself from the sun is essential — an SPF 25 to 50 sunscreen is perfect for a day at the beach.
Worried sunscreen will stop you from tanning? Don't be! Sun care products actually help you get an even, longer-lasting tan.
And there you have it — you're all set for summer!
