In summer, the skin needs extra care. Aggressive sunlight can adversely affect the condition of the skin, often in the long run. It is very important, therefore, to make sure that your skin is well hydrated and to use creams with a high sun protection factor.
What procedures should you avoid during the summer?
1. Warm packaging. There are several procedures that involve packing your skin with various warm treatments. These are not desirable in summer, being much more suitable in winter. Cold packs, on the other hand, are more suitable because they moisturize the epidermis and eliminate toxins.
2. Peels. It is good to give up peeling in the summer, especially if you have spots, burns, and skin irritations;

3. Laser hair removal. Laser hair removal is contraindicated in summer, at least in areas that are exposed to sunlight. If you are used to laser hair removal, you can stop epilating your face, hands, or feet for a few months;
4. Liposuction. Liposuction procedures are becoming more and more popular but should be avoided during the summer. These leave rather unpleasant scars that cannot be hidden.
5. Permanent and semi-permanent makeup. Such makeup may not have the desired effect. Often, due to the sun, the make-up changes color.
How do you protect your skin in the summer?
If you want a perfect complexion in summer, it is good to follow a series of rules:
1. Remove your make-up both in the morning and in the evening! The face should be as clean as possible for a long time;
2. Choose to use cosmetics with UVA and UVB protection factor. You can use creams or foundations with a protection factor that will help you avoid the appearance of brown spots or accentuation of freckles;
3. Try to eat as much calcium as possible and use vitamin E creams;
4. Hydrate very well. Water is extremely important for the skin. It compensates for the moisture lost through perspiration and helps eliminate toxins;
5. Consume a few spices. In summer, it is best to avoid spicy foods. Very spicy, sour, and salty foods should be avoided as they can adversely affect the skin;
6. Wash your face with cold water. Every night it is good to wash your face with cold water and use compresses to put on closed eyes.
A beautiful complexion requires careful care, especially during the summer when it is quite affected by the sun. However, if you follow certain rules, avoid certain cosmetic procedures, and indulge in the right procedures for the season, you will be able to enjoy a perfect complexion, without pimples, wrinkles, and other imperfections.
