In the summer, skin care requires extra attention, since the skin is more exposed to the sun’s rays, to the dry weather, and even to the salt water from the sea and the chlorine from the pool. This can lead to an increase in spots, burns, and even wrinkles on the skin, not to mention that the face can also become oilier.

Therefore, the ideal is to ensure effective cleansing and protection of the skin, so that it stays hydrated and healthy! For this reason, check out what you must have in your summer kit to enjoy your summer with freshness and safety.
1 – Face Sunscreen
Sunscreen is indispensable all year round and should be reinforced even more in the summer. Available with or without color, this product must be applied in the morning, before sun exposure and reapplied every 2 hours, or after swimming.

With this, you ensure that your skin is properly protected, uniform and without marks. What’s more, the face sunscreen is different from the body version, so it must have a dry touch and a comfortable texture, in order to prevent the skin of the face from getting clogged because of increased oiliness. Use a facial sunscreen with SPF above 30 and, besides the face, apply the product to the neck, chest and even the ears.

2 – Moisturizing Cream
Believe it or not, but in the summer, skin hydration should be reinforced – even if you have combination or oily skin. This is because, in the heat, the skin tends to lose water due to the temperature and the moisturizer acts to replace the lost liquid, leaving the skin refreshed and healthy, creating a protective barrier to prevent sensitivity and flaking. The product should be applied right after cleansing the skin in the morning and before bed.

To remove all impurities, excess oil and blackheads and pimples, the ideal is to do a deep cleaning of the skin with a good exfoliator – but carefully. This product can be after cleansing with soap and should be applied gently, massaging the face subtly with your fingertips, especially in the corners of the nose and points where blackheads are more concentrated. Tip: exfoliate the skin after showering, when the pores are more open.

In the summer, we want that feeling of clean, purified and fresh skin, regardless of the time of day. For this, micellar water can be a great ally during this season, because it is rich in benefits to the skin, from removing makeup at the end of the day, to the function of leaving the skin properly purified, clean, softened and rebalanced. Another advantage is that it can be used at any time of the day – for example, after the beach or pool – and does not require rinsing.
