Although summer can be one of our favorite seasons of the year for many reasons, we must not overlook that during these months our skin and hair suffer the consequences of solar radiation. In addition to other external factors such as pool chlorine or heat and environmental dryness. For all these reasons, it is useful to know how to restore your skin after summer, as well as the most suitable products to achieve it.
What happens to the skin in summer?
The long summer days are a full invitation to go out and enjoy free time; sunbathing, swimming in the pool, or diving into the sea. But if we do not take the proper precautions to protect ourselves from the sun, all these plans can have negative effects on the skin and hair, such as loss of hydration, dryness, premature aging, or hyperpigmentation.
Skin dehydration
High temperatures, wind, and the effect of the sun can dehydrate the skin, making it dry and flaky. Excessive sweating or the use of air conditioning can also lead to loss of moisture and electrolytes, leaving the skin dull and lifeless.
Drinking enough water helps maintain skin hydration. Externally, applying moisturizing creams and lotions that help retain moisture is also helpful.
In your goal to restore your skin after summer, you must not forget to use a good moisturizing cream with sun protection and antioxidants. Additionally, Toskani’s Anti-Pollution ampoules provide an extra boost of vitamins A, B3, C, and E, with important antioxidant effects.
Damage from solar radiation
UV rays can penetrate the skin and cause cellular damage. Prolonged sun exposure without adequate protection causes sunburns, which appear as redness, pain, and in severe cases, blisters. These burns are not only painful but also increase the risk of skin cancer.
On the other hand, UV radiation accelerates skin aging, causing wrinkles, dark spots or solar lentigines, and loss of elasticity.
To restore your skin after summer and reduce and prevent the appearance of spots, it is important to apply high-protection anti-spot and depigmenting treatments.
The Toskani depigmenting range helps tone the skin and lighten spots.
Acne outbreaks in summer
Heat, humidity, and the use of oily sun products can increase sebum production, which can clog pores and cause acne breakouts, pimples, and blackheads.
To avoid this problem and restore your skin after summer, cleanse your face with products suitable for your skin type that remove sweat, dirt, and excess oil. Also, add an exfoliant to your beauty and facial care routine. This product helps remove dead skin cells and improves the absorption of skin care products.
Tips for caring for your hair after summer
Skin is not the only thing that suffers in summer. The intense sun of the summer season, chlorine, salt, and sudden temperature changes can leave your hair dry, damaged, and lifeless.
But don’t worry, because with the right care and suitable hair products, you can surely have radiant hair ready for the new season.
Moisturizing treatments for hair
The sun and salt water can dehydrate your hair. Use moisturizing hair masks or single-dose Dexanyl ampoules to combat the appearance of dry and damaged hair.
Nourishing treatments to restore skin (and hair) after summer
Natural oils can provide deep nourishment and restore shine and softness to your hair. You can also use serums and concentrated ampoules for repairing damaged hair. For example, the single-dose B-Hidroxin ampoules from Toskani provide vitamin B7 to strengthen hair.
Goodbye split ends
After summer, it is common to have split ends and damaged hair. Schedule a maintenance haircut to remove damaged parts and prevent the damage from spreading.
Finally, remember to avoid excessive use of heat styling products and opt for shampoos and conditioners that are gentle on your hair.
