Blemish-prone skin tends to love summer and the drying effect of the sun… In fact, in summer, skin looks much better and blemishes are less visible. Skin naturally thickens with sun exposure… but be careful, as they tend to come back as soon as summer is over. Here are a few tips in this article to help prevent them!
Watch out for the “rebound effect”
When our skin is exposed to the sun, UV rays (ultraviolet rays) overstimulate its natural defenses, causing it to age prematurely. To protect itself, the skin therefore creates a thicker layer, tightening the pores and sometimes even blocking them. This can cause sebum to build up, which is especially noticeable after returning from vacation, when it can lead to many blemishes, such as blackheads or small spots, whether or not you are usually prone to them. This is commonly known as the “rebound effect.”
Guinot Pureté routine for your vacation
To best protect your skin from this “rebound effect,” the first step is to cleanse it thoroughly. The Purifying Lotion and Microbiotic Cleansing Foam are essential, highly effective skincare products that remove excess sebum and dirt accumulated during the day, while preparing your skin for the rest of your routine. Skin is deeply cleansed and purified while a microbial barrier is created.
Note that it is also important to include an exfoliant and a mask in your beauty routine for optimal results. For example, we recommend Biologic Exfoliator, a grain-free formula that gently lifts away dead skin cells and restores radiance to the skin.
Hydration: your ally for summer
We know that hydration is essential for beautiful skin. Skin that is not properly hydrated tends to become rough and develop blemishes. And with age, skin needs more and more hydration… That’s why it’s essential not to neglect this in summer!
Applying Hydra Summum Serum as a treatment, formulated primarily with Hyaluronic Acid, will quickly help hydrate your skin, regulate skin concerns, and restore smoother, softer, plumper, more radiant skin.
Finally, to prolong your tan and protect your skin from future daily aggressors, Hydradermie Jeunesse Soleil or Hydra Summum skincare will help keep your skin radiant and healthy when you return from vacation.
