Guide to moisturising your face: How should you take care of your skin in summer?
Along with sun protection, daily moisturising should be part of your everyday routine for your face.
On hot, sunny summer days, sun protectionis just one aspect of the daily care your face needs. Moisturising your face should also be on your list, along with other important steps to keep your skin healthy this time of year.
Sun is one of the main causes of skin dryness. The heat from its rays encourages water naturally found in the epidermis to evaporate. The stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin, contains approximately 10 - 20% water. Its degree of hydration depends on the balance between the water taken into the body, by ingestion or direct application, and the water that escapes by evaporation.
So it's important to know a few little secrets to keep it hydrated in the summer sun.
Check the texture!
Raquel Toyota, Natura's dermatologist, gives the following advice: "Facial moisturisers should have a lighter texture, such as those in the form of serums or oil-free lotions." Our expert says that these facial care products can be applied once or twice a day, depending on your skin's individual needs The good news is that some products perform both roles (or even more). Natura Chronos tinted face creams are a great example of this and will soon be your summer face care favourites and everyday go-to products. With SPF 30 / UVA-PF 10 sun protection, they protect the skin from UVA and UVB rays, while moisturising and exfoliating any imperfections.
Moisturise your face at night
Your day should start and end with facial care. And to achieve visible results, it's important to make sure you clean your face thoroughly. Natura Chronos biphase make-up remover eliminates all make-up residue and impurities from the face and eyes. It is suitable for all skin types and its ultra-light texture doesn't leave the skin feeling greasy.
And why not complete your evening routine with Natura Chronos nourishing night time face cream? Its moisturising power, light texture and soothing action promises your skin a good night's sleep.
As Raquel points out, it's important to remember that although it is warmer at this time of year, you shouldn't take more showers as excessive showering actually weakens the skin barrier. Stick to the same habits. And remember: the water should be warm or cold, but never hot. Don't forget to drink plenty of water too.
