With the arrival of summer, it's not just the weather that changes, but also the needs of our skin. After winter and spring, when our skin is often stressed, it now needs lighter, fresher care to prepare it for the heat of summer.
In winter, we have often used rich products to protect the skin from drying out and create an additional barrier against the cold and wind. While these products are effective, they can become too heavy or intense for the skin in the higher temperatures and missing humidity of summer.
Summer brings a change in skin texture: skin becomes less susceptible to the extreme dryness of winter and spring and can once again absorb more moisture. This means it's time to switch from thick, rich creams to lighter, moisturizing alternatives. Products with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin, which provide intensive moisture without weighing the skin down, are particularly recommended.
Why a change of routine is important in summer
Changing your routine in summer is particularly important because the skin's needs change with the changing seasons. While winter is often characterized by cool temperatures and dry air, spring brings warmer weather and higher humidity. Summer however brings often very hot day with no humidity at all: These changes have a direct impact on skin care. The skincare that worked perfectly with your skin in winter may no longer be right for you in summer.
With the onset of summer, your skincare routine should be adjusted. Rich, intensive creams and heavier textures, which are necessary in winter and spring, can now be too much of a good thing and overload the skin.
Instead, it makes sense to switch to lighter formulations that continue to moisturize the skin but are less greasy and heavy on the skin.
Summer requires skincare that supports the skin's natural freshness and radiance. Products that make the complexion appear more radiant and revitalize the skin are particularly important now. The skin needs less intensive repair care and more support in restoring its natural balance.
At the same time, many people benefit in summer from light, mattifying skincare that responds to the increased heat while protecting against UV rays, which are now much stronger and can cause irreversible damage to the skin. Switching to lighter, refreshing products will help to refine the skin's texture and give it a healthy, fresh glow.
The best summer ingredients
In summer, it's especially important to support the skin with the right ingredients to boost its freshness and radiance. As temperatures rise and humidity increases, skin reacts to these changes and needs products that enhance its natural beauty without overloading it.
The following three ingredients are ideal for your spring skincare routine and will ensure your skin is healthy, radiant and perfectly prepared for the new season:
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant and a must-have in your summer skincare routine, energizing the skin and giving it a fresh, radiant glow. It helps to even out your skin tone and reduce pigmentation or dark spots.
Vitamin C also promotes collagen production, which leads to firmer and more youthful skin. With its revitalizing properties, vitamin C keeps your skin looking refreshed and vibrant: perfect for your summer glow.
It also protects against UV damage and free radicals, which are intensified by the increased sun exposure in summer.
Aloe Vera
If you are still prone to irritated skin, aloe vera is the right ingredient for you! As a medicinal plant, aloe vera has both soothing and moisturizing properties.
It helps to regenerate the skin, reduces redness and promotes healing if the skin is dry and sensitive. Aloe vera provides the skin with intensive moisture without overloading it and leaves it feeling pleasantly fresh, ideal for summer skincare that requires light and moisturizing care.
Rose water
Rose water is particularly beneficial for the skin in summer as it offers a variety of soothing and nourishing properties that regenerate and revitalize the skin.
In summer, it is typical for temperatures to rise. Under these circumstances, the skin tends to become more sensitive and possibly irritated or dehydrated. Rose water acts as a gentle but effective way to moisturize and soothe the skin and relieve redness.
It has anti-inflammatory properties that help to reduce skin irritation that can be caused by changeable weather or sun exposure. In addition, rose water promotes blood circulation, which leads to a fresher, healthier complexion and refines the skin's texture.
It also contains antioxidants that protect the skin from environmental influences, which is particularly important in summer when the sun is strong and the skin is exposed to more UV radiation. Rose water not only ensures well-moisturized and soothed skin, but also a radiant complexion that reflects summer.
