In these hot summer months our skin must be prepared to not become dehydrated or suffer the consequences of excessive exposure to solSi in winter was almost a necessity to give an extra moisturizing our skin dry and cracked by the cold, we should not neglect this habit in the summer. The heat, humidity and sweat are the “guilty” to give us more of laziness moisturize your skin in summer. However, our skin spends more time in the sun, so not only run the risk that the damaging rays, but also lose its natural moisture.
Although today tanned skin is often considered synonymous with beauty, aesthetic pursue this ideal can take its toll on our skin if we take too much sun. On the one hand, our skin tends to age faster due to the accumulation of lesions that disrupt the normal functioning of skin cells. On the other hand, there is an increased risk of skin cancer, but not feel it, our skin has “memory” and the more burns or suffered prolonged exposure, increased risk of getting melanoma. It is therefore very important to a good sunscreen before sunbathing, especially in fair skin, still recommend a high SPF (15 or 20 minimum). However, the sun is good, as long as is done in moderation, as it has beneficial effects for health: helps produce vitamin D, important for the absorption of calcium from the bones, improves the appearance of skin affected by problems such as psoriasis or acne, strengthens the immune system the body and promotes the “good mood”. You should avoid taking it within the sun’s peak hours (between 12:00 h and 16:00 h) and protect us always with a sunscreen according to your skin type.
Tips for caring for our skin veranoPara maintain beautiful skin, cared for and protected and avoid the consequences of sun and heat we follow a few tips:
Hydration: a must! The use of vegetable oils, creams and body milks are also a good option in summer. We recommend using natural and organic cosmetics, and related organic substances that contribute to the skin, such as fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. Containing no synthetic substances such as petrochemical derivatives (paraffin, petrolatum), silicone or polyethylene glycols (PEG’s) our skin will fully benefit from the organic nutrients, without drying, maintaining good hydration and a healthy look. Although the smoothness of cosmetics is a matter of taste, Argan oil has a light, fast absorbing texture that makes it ideal for all skin types. Hydroxatone Thanks to its highly nutritious and restorative properties is highly recommended to use as ‘aftersun’.
Exfoliate: remove toxins and dead skin. This gesture of beauty should not miss our summer care, as it helps prepare the skin for sunbathing, as well as remove toxins and dead skin. By the way, make better use of the effect of our creams and body oils, since the skin is exfoliated much more receptive to treatments that apply. You will see what will be soft and smooth your skin!
Use a good sunscreen. It is important to do before and after the sun, and not wait for our skin we “tell” to begin to do so. Most sunscreens on the market that contain chemical filters that block sunlight, but there are natural alternatives: sunscreens using natural filters such as titanium oxide, and free of synthetic substances like paraffin and parabens . These creams contain natural vegetable oils, as well as protecting your skin, leaving it nourished and hydrated. Whatever your choice, we recommend using a non-comedogenic sunscreen that protects against UVA and UVB rays as possible without parabens, ftlatlatos, artificial perfumes or petrochemical derivatives.
Watch out for the air conditioning! The air conditioning also favors the loss of moisture from our skin. If you have an air conditioner at home tries to use only the most necessary, and not only avoid drying out your skin, but also will contribute to save energy and pollute less the environment.

Take plenty of fruits and vegetables, some cereals and foods rich in omega 3, such as oily fish and nuts, which give our skin the nutrients it needs to be healthy and radiant. Avoiding stress is equally important to maintain healthy skin. Enjoy the good weather and vacations to unwind, exercise, take walks and look for moments of relaxation!
