In summer, the skin can undergo various negative effects due to climatic conditions. Here are some of the most common changes that can occur:
1. Sun exposure can cause skin damage such as sunburn, sun erythema, premature aging, and increase the risk of skin cancer.
2. Hot and dry air can cause the body to lose more fluids through sweating, leading to potential skin dehydration. Ensuring sufficient water intake and using moisturizers for both face and body can help keep the skin hydrated.
3. Increased sebum production, due to the humidity and heat of summer, can stimulate the sebaceous glands to produce more sebum, making the skin oilier or susceptible to problems like acne.
4. Exposure to insects, saltwater, or chlorine can cause itching and skin irritations. It is important to protect the skin and wash it thoroughly after exposure to such elements.
5. Sun exposure can increase melanin production, causing hyperpigmentation and the appearance of dark spots on the skin. Using sunscreen and avoiding excessive exposure can help prevent this issue. Natural scrubs and exfoliations can help remedy it.
It is essential to take care of your skin during the summer, protecting it from sun damage, keeping it hydrated, and adopting a good care routine, starting from cleansing to hydration.
Here is what cannot be missing in the summer beauty routine:
- Lumea cosmetics gentle water: a soothing cleanser that provides relief after sun exposure, soothes and pampers the skin by removing impurities collected during the day and excess sebum.
- The moisturizing face toner with 20% snail slime Lumea cosmetics and soothing natural extracts rehydrates the skin even under the sun, preventing dehydration.
- PURA, the 100% natural snail slime Lumea, applied on cleansed face, exfoliates and renews the skin throughout the season. It prevents sun spots, dries the skin from excess sebum leaving a pleasant matte effect and regenerates after sun exposure. Its antioxidant power fights free radicals and thus premature skin aging.
- The moisturizing and soothing face cream, perfect as an after-sun for the face
- Light, the Lumea body cream with rapid absorption and multiple elasticizing and nourishing oils is the perfect after-sun. It keeps the skin hydrated and nourished, maintains the tan longer as it removes dead cells and renews the skin and is perfect for soothing sun-induced redness. It also helps capillaries by containing blueberry extract.
I also recommend the face scrub mask. A cosmetic that replenishes the hydration lost due to the sun and at the same time removes dead cells, which increase after sun exposure. In 15 minutes it renews the skin, helping to maintain the tan for a long time.
It is not yet present in our line, but I remind you that it is essential to accompany skincare routine products with excellent sun protection, preferably for face and body, and remember to apply it every day, several times a day.
