Summer is a time of long walks on sandy beaches, swimming and parties. But above all, a time to enjoy the sun and a beautiful tan. Unfortunately, this seems to be a long way off. The autumn wind is blowing in the air, announcing the end of the good times. And the beautiful tanned complexion that you proudly sport is gradually losing its radiance. Worse, your skin starts to peel. But don’t worry, this is normal. Your skin has been weakened by sunburn, cold, wind, sand, chlorine from the sea and the pool and many other factors. That’s why it’s important to take care of it and prepare it before the cold season starts. Here are a few tips for beautiful skin after the summer.
Remove dead skin cells with a scrub
To fight against external aggressions, our skin accumulates cells on its surface. This layer of dead skin cells tends to retain dirt and impurities that clog the pores. Apart from the fact that it peels off and makes your skin look unsightly, this thin film also prevents the skin from fulfilling its protective barrier function. To remedy this, a scrub is necessary. This removes dead skin and impurities. In addition, this procedure encourages the regeneration of new epidermal cells. However, beware of abuse! Do not exfoliate more than twice a week, to reduce the risk of irritation. So if you have fragile skin, one application per week will suffice.
Should you moisturise your skin?
After the holidays, the skin tends to dry out, causing irritation and itching. In order to avoid this, it is important to give your skin a good dose of moisture. In this sense, the Cica Daily Repair Serum from Uriage Bariederm is indicated. This treatment is ideal for sensitive and weakened skin, as it provides intense hydration. Its formula is made up of 97% natural ingredients, including thermal spring water, known for its soothing properties. In short, a real gem! In addition, it is composed of dipeptide, which limits the ageing of the skin. This serum is applied day and night, just before the cream, on clean and dry skin.
What repairing care should you use?
When the skin is exposed to pollution, cold, harmful UV rays and stress. As a result, its protective function tends to weaken. A repairing care is therefore essential before the arrival of the winter period, to restore the skin barrier. For this purpose, the La Roche-Posay laboratory offers La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Spray B5 Réparateur. This is a repairing spray enriched with Centella. It is soothing, anti-itching and suitable for adults and children. A godsend for weakened skin, this concentrated treatment accelerates epidermal repair. Moreover, it is specially designed to calm irritations and overheating of our body’s largest organ.
