Although summer may be one of our favorite seasons of the year for many reasons, we must not overlook the fact that during these months our skin and hair suffer the consequences of solar radiation. In addition to other external factors such as chlorine from swimming pools or heat and environmental dryness. For all these reasons, it is interesting to know how to recover your skin after summer, as well as the most suitable products to achieve this.
What happens to the skin in summer?
The long summer days are an open invitation to go out and enjoy our free time, sunbathe, swim in the pool, or dive into the sea. But if we don’t take the proper precautions to protect ourselves from the sun, all these activities can have negative consequences for our skin and hair, such as loss of moisture, dryness, premature aging, or hyperpigmentation.
Skin dehydration
High temperatures, wind, and the sun’s rays can dehydrate the skin, making it dry and flaky. Excessive sweating or the use of air conditioning can also lead to moisture and electrolyte loss, leaving the skin dull and lifeless.
Drinking enough water helps maintain skin hydration. Externally, it is helpful to apply moisturizing creams and lotions that help retain moisture.
In your quest to restore your skin after summer, don’t forget to use a good moisturizer with sun protection and antioxidants. In addition, Toskani’s Anti-Pollution ampoules provide extra vitamins A, B3, C, and E, with significant antioxidant effects.
Damage from solar radiation
UV rays can penetrate the skin and cause damage at the cellular level. Prolonged exposure to the sun without adequate protection causes sunburn, which manifests as redness, pain, and, in severe cases, blisters. These burns are not only painful, but also increase the risk of skin cancer.
Furthermore, UV radiation accelerates skin aging, causing wrinkles, dark spots, or solar lentigines, and loss of elasticity.
To restore the 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 depigmentation range helps to tone the skin and reduce dark spots.
Acne breakouts in summer
Heat, humidity, and the use of oily sunscreen 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 cells and allows for better absorption of skin care products.
Tips for caring for your hair after summer
Your skin isn’t the only thing that suffers in summer. The intense summer sun, chlorine, salt, and sudden changes in temperature can leave your hair dry, damaged, and lifeless.
But don’t worry, because with the right care and hair products, you can be sure to have radiant hair again, ready for the new school year.
Moisturizing treatments for hair
The sun and salt water can dehydrate your hair. Use moisturizing hair masks or Dexanyl single-dose ampoules to combat the appearance of dry and damaged hair.
Nourishing treatments to restore your 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 to repair damaged hair. For example, B-Hidroxin single-dose 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.
