What cosmetic and active ingredients are recommended at
this time of year and which are not? Take note of this information!
We have already enjoyed midsummer and we can already notice
how we are beginning to sunbathe although we have not yet made the obligatory
visit to the beach. It is very vital to protect our skin from these high
temperatures to avoid blemishes and even skin dehydration. In summer, more than
at any time of the year, sunscreen is the best ally to prevent the effects of
the sun on the skin. In these hot moments and when we take every opportunity to
take advantage of these sun rays that leave us a healthier complexion, it is
important to increase its frequency of use to avoid burns and prevent future
damage to the skin. But do you know what other ingredients can help you and
which can be harmful to your skin? Take notes!
AHA and BHA, best at a different time of year
This type of acidic ingredient has become a trend in recent
years and more with the use of masks. AHAs (glycolic, mandelic, malic, azelaic
and lactic acids among others) and BHAs (salicylic acid) will be familiar to
you due to the number of cosmetics launched in the last year, from serums,
creams to scrubs, and this is not surprising. for the results they have in
helping acne and blemish prone skin. But in summer, they are not your best
allies to keep the skin protected. With these ingredients we perform a chemical
exfoliation, eliminating dead skin cells. During the rest of the year it can be
an essential ingredient in any dressing table to eliminate fine lines, spots
and imperfections, but with heat and UVA rays it is not recommended and less
during the day. If they cannot be missed in your routine, try to apply them to
your face less often and always at night.
Bet on antioxidants
Antioxidants are essential to prevent photoaging. They help
us defend ourselves against free radicals, which are agents that affect the
health of our skin every day, such as pollution, tobacco smoke, blue light,
etc. To prevent some of the signs of aging caused by oxidative stress, it is
essential to incorporate antioxidant ingredients into our daily routine and
more so now that we take advantage of any time to spend it on the terrace of a
bar or taking a walk.
Vitamin C: It is a powerful antioxidant that promotes
collagen synthesis. This ingredient will brighten your face while helping to
reduce any inflammation. We recommend the Bio Serum Vitamin C + E + Ferulic +
Hyaluronic Nourishing Repair from Cosmetics Herbera: it contains 10% of Vitamin
C in its most stable and least irritating form.
Herbera
Retinol: this is another antioxidant ingredient that in
recent years has also extended its application in cosmetics. It is an
ingredient that will greatly improve skin texture, tighten pores, and help
prevent premature aging. Retinol is best applied at night as it is
photosensitive and degrades the sun and can cause irritation. If you want to benefit
from the effects of this powerful ingredient, use it at night and remember to
use sunscreen during the day.
Hyaluronic Acid: Although it is an acid,
this ingredient will
not harm your skin during the summer, its ability to retain moisture is more than
1000 times its weight and it will not clog pores, which means that it will
provide deep hydration. time that will help you fight premature aging.
Green tea: It will become your perfect ally if you worry
about excess fat and AHAs were not lacking in your daily life. Its great
antioxidant and purifying power will help your skin look flawless and feel
light and free of excess sebum. If you haven't tried FOREO's Green Tea Mask
yet, this is the best option to remove acidic ingredients this summer.
