Summer is almost knocking at our doors, and a little warmer breeze gives you a hint for the upcoming season. You are probably planning your summer wardrobe, T-shirts, shorts, and sandals. But have you thought about preparing your skin for the summer? If you have not yet, you should start changing your daily skincare routine to protect your skin against dehydration, excessive sebum production, and sunburn, and keep it calm and subtle. Here are some beneficial suggestions to aid you to prepare your skin for the summer.

• Exfoliate Your Skin

Exfoliating any dead skin cells on top of your skin is necessary to keep the surface glowing and rejuvenated. You could even get a chemical peel from an expert at the beginning of the season. This is an exfoliating solution that is applied to the face, neck, and hands to reveal smooth and clear skin underneath. Chemical peels are classified by their ingredients which target several skin problems, including wrinkles, pigmentation, and superficial blemishes. All peels provide revitalizing benefits but your skin condition dictates which peel to use. Dr Nadja Haub can help you determine which peel is right for you.
After you have had a chemical peel, you can continue exfoliating your skin at home with gentle scrubs or natural exfoliants once a week. Regular and gentle skin exfoliation helps to remove dirt from pores and prevent blemishes, dead skin cells, and flaky skin from accumulating on the surface.

Hydrate and Moisturize Your Skin

Good Skincare

As days get hotter, your skin tends to lose moisture faster. However, you can prevent it in several ways. The first one is to drink plenty of water daily to keep your skin and body hydrated. Another way is by using a moisturiser that contains hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, glycerine, shea butter, and squalane. Make sure to apply your moisturiser right after taking a shower. It will help keep the moisture inside the skin. Regularly moisturizing your skin prevents dry and flaky skin.

Medical Microneedling

You can also improve your skin absorption capacity with micro-needling. It is a cosmetic, non-invasive procedure where micro-needles are pressed into the skin. The tiny pricks create micro-channels that trigger the skin’s repair system to form new collagen and elastin fibres. As a result, when you apply topical skincare products afterwards, they absorb better into the skin. Vitamin C is one of the top components to apply to micro-needled skin. It is a powerful antioxidant that boosts collagen synthesis, reduces acne scars, and fades hyperpigmentation.

Try A Facial Treatment

When our skin is exposed to warmer weather and more sun, it can easily dry out or even become inflamed, sensitive and dull. For this, an IPL facial can help. It is best if you do this during the winter months or spring to prepare your skin for the summer.

During the procedure, pulses of light emitted from a device get absorbed by the melanin pigment in the skin and by red blood cells. The generated heat causes a mild superficial injury that feels a bit like a sunburn. The intense pulse light activates the natural healing process without damaging the dermal tissues. As your skin tries to restore itself, it sheds the dull and damaged outer layer and exposes supple and vibrant skin. The IPL facial can provide you with glowing skin in summer without significant discomfort or downtime.

Wear Your Sunscreen Every Single Day

The most important skincare product to remember is sunscreen. The UV rays are much stronger in summer, which means your skin is at a greater risk of getting damaged. Make for sure you use sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 50 daily in the morning. Then, reapply it when necessary if you spend too much time in the sun. Sunscreen not only protects you against UV rays but prevents premature ageing. Choose a lightweight and quick-absorbing formula, preferably with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, as they are the most effective and safe sunscreen ingredients.
