 In summer, there are two factors that can affect your skin care routine.  The first is the weather. When the sun is blazing and the temperature is high, it can be hard to focus on your skin care. The second factor is humidity. Humid air during the summer makes the skin less receptive to care.
Skin care routines can therefore be altered in summer: a lighter, faster morning routine if you are on a tight schedule, or a longer, more complete routine if you have time.
It is important to adapt your skin care routine to the intensity of the sun. The sunnier the weather, the hotter you tend to get, and the less you will want to take care of your skin.
1. A few tips to hydrate your skin in summer
- Avoid products that are too greasy: in summer, skin tends to be less dry than the rest of the year, so greasy products are less suitable.
- Favor light formulas: if you cannot stand the sensation of perspiration due to the contact of the product with your skin, it is preferable to use more fluid formulas.
2. The importance of water in your skin care routine
In addition to being a skin care vehicle, water has moisturizing and softening properties that are very important for skin comfort. This is why it is used for hydrating purposes in many cosmetic products.
Water contributes to skin hydration and helps fight against the signs of aging (the level of hydration contributes to the firmness of the skin). Water is not a skin care product in itself, but it is an essential component in the manufacture of many products. For beautiful skin, we recommend moisturizing throughout the day. 3. The importance of diet in your skin care routine
The quality of your skin depends in part on what you eat. A healthy, balanced diet contributes to the optimal well-being of your skin.
Your skin needs vitamins and trace elements to keep it well hydrated and to strengthen its elasticity. Stress, pollutants and chemicals in the air, water and food can weaken the skin barrier and the skin's structure.
So, it is vital to nourish your skin. It is recommended to favor foods rich in vitamins A, C, E and essential fatty acids (omega 3 and 6), all in sufficient quantities. You should also make sure to eat fresh fruits and vegetables (rather than frozen fruit & veg), as well as dairy products, olive oil and soybean oil.

4. The right steps to take to look after your skin
Skin hydration:
As we explained in the article, in summer, it is very important to moisturize your skin thoroughly. It is best to use light products or fluid formulas. To keep your skin hydrated, you can also opt for oils and water-based moisturizers.
Protecting yourself from the sun:
It is very important to protect yourself from the sun if you want to enjoy glowing skin. UV rays are responsible for all the signs of skin aging such as brown spots (integrate link to article on brown spots), wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. The key is to adopt a healthy lifestyle and in particular to avoid the sun between noon and 4p.m. The hottest hours of the afternoon are those most likely to cause melanoma.
