Summer is often synonymous with relaxation and vacation. However, climatic conditions, such as intense heat and prolonged exposure to the sun, can present challenges for your skin. To counter these effects, you must adapt your facial care routine. With the right products and habits, having perfect skin this summer is not an insurmountable task.
1. Deep cleansing: a must for facial care
The first step towards healthy, radiant skin is deep cleansing. It is an essential step in facial care that can easily be done at home or in a beauty salon. In summer, the skin produces more sebum and tends to attract more dirt. This is why deep cleaning with a gentle cleanser is ideal. It effectively removes impurities without drying out your skin. This is what we do at Sobella Paris before any treatment in our range.
2. Regular exfoliation: get rid of blackheads and dead cells
After cleansing, the next step is exfoliation. It is a crucial part of facial care, especially for removing blackheads. Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, impurities and blackheads that can clog pores. It also stimulates cell turnover and improves blood circulation, which can give your skin a natural, healthy glow.
Regular use of an exfoliant, like our Sobella Paris “Revitalizing Exfoliating Scrub,” can help prevent the appearance of blackheads and keep skin soft and smooth. This salon-quality scrub is designed to be gentle enough for frequent use while still being effective at removing dead skin cells.
By applying this exfoliant to your face, you will not only notice a reduction in blackheads, but also an improved absorption of the skin care products that follow in your routine. It ideally prepares the skin to receive the benefits of serums, moisturizers and anti-aging treatments.
Remember, when exfoliating, it's important to be gentle. Do not rub too hard as this can irritate the skin and cause redness. Simply apply the scrub to damp face, massage gently in circular motions, then rinse with lukewarm water.
Now that your skin is thoroughly exfoliated and the pores are clear of any blockages, you are ready for the next steps in your skincare routine. This regular practice will help you maintain healthy, radiant and blackhead-free skin this summer.
3. Daily hydration: keep skin supple and radiant
In summer, skin can easily become dehydrated due to heat and humidity. This is why hydration is an essential step in facial care. We recommend using a Light Moisturizing Lotion with a non-greasy formula that deeply hydrates while letting your skin breathe.
In addition to its hydrating effect, choose a Light Moisturizing Lotion infused with natural and nourishing ingredients that help protect the skin against environmental aggressions. It should be enriched with antioxidants that help fight free radical damage, as well as vitamins and minerals that contribute to overall skin health without weighing down your skin, making it ideal for use in summer.
To apply it:
1. Pour a small amount of the lotion into the palm of your hand;
2. Rub your hands together to warm it up;
3. Apply it to your face using gentle circular motions. This will help the lotion penetrate your skin and provide optimal hydration.
Remember, the key to healthy, radiant skin is hydration , both from the inside and out. So, in addition to using a Light Moisturizing Lotion, make sure you drink enough water throughout the day.
4. Sun protection: a significant step in facial care
No summer facial would be complete without adequate sun protection. The sun can cause significant damage to the skin, including premature aging. This is why it is essential to apply sunscreen before going out. Choose Broad Spectrum Sun Cream SPF50+ for optimal protection against UVA and UVB rays.
Sunscreen not only protects your skin against the sun's rays, it is also enriched with nourishing ingredients that hydrate and soothe your skin. Prefer a light, non-greasy sunscreen, which will not leave you with unpleasant white residue. It should be water resistant, meaning it remains effective even after swimming or intense sweating, ideal for active summer days.
To use it:
1. Apply a generous amount of sunscreen to your face and neck 15 to 30 minutes before going out in the sun.
2. Remember to reapply every two hours, or more frequently if you swim or sweat.
By protecting your skin from the sun, you not only prevent sunburn, but also premature signs of aging , like wrinkles and age spots. So whether you plan to spend your day at the beach or go for a simple walk, never forget to apply your sunscreen.
5. The importance of internal hydration and a balanced diet
Hydration isn't just important on the outside, it's also crucial on the inside. Drinking plenty of water is essential to keep skin hydrated. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables, packed with antioxidants, will also help your skin fight free radical damage and maintain a healthy complexion.
Along with a balanced diet and good hydration, sleep plays a vital role in the health of your skin. During sleep, your skin repairs and regenerates. It is therefore important to ensure quality sleep so that your skin has enough time to renew itself. A good night's sleep can help reduce the appearance of dark circles and improve the radiance of your skin.
Also, remember that each skin type is different and has specific needs. It's essential to tailor your skincare routine to your unique needs to achieve the best results. It is recommended to consult a skin professional, such as an esthetician or dermatologist, for advice on which products and techniques will be best for you.
Last but not least, healthy skin is a reflection of a healthy lifestyle. A balanced diet, regular exercise, good hydration, sufficient sleep and adequate sun protection are all essential elements for maintaining healthy, radiant skin. So remember, take care of yourself and your skin will thank you!
6. Sleep: a natural facial treatment
Never underestimate the power of a good night's sleep. Sleep is the time when your skin repairs and regenerates itself. Make sure you get at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night to help your skin recover from the day's stressors.
Summer is a time to enjoy the sun and have fun, but that doesn't mean you have to neglect your skin. With these facial care tips, you can enjoy summer while maintaining radiant, healthy skin. Remember, facial care is not just about applying products, it also involves taking care of yourself from the inside out. So, stay hydrated, eat healthy and get enough rest for perfect skin this summer!
