Skin Care after the Summer

Hello Ladies and WELCOME BACK from your summer holidays! 

Time to start taking care of our skin after all it has been through during these hot summer months.

The needs of our skin change with the seasons. Late summer and early autumn is the best time to start the restoration process of our skin by providing to the skin the tender love and care it needs.  The warm summer months have managed to make our skin more dry and clog the pores, leaving our skin looking dull.

Running the risk of sounding boring at times, I must state once more that exfoliation is imperative towards achieving a clean, smooth, glowing skin. Peeling will remove the layers of dead skin cells that accumulate on the surface of the epidermis. This is very important since the dead skin cells that accumulate cause congestion to the pores of the skin. Basically the skin cannot "breath", the pores get clogged and the skin is not able to receive proper hydration and other nutrients from products that we apply.

For most people exfoliation done once a week or every 10 days is probably adequate. I recommend you do your exfoliation in the evening, and follow it with an appropriate mask, and then with your night care cream. If you want to take it a step further, add an ampoule or serum (prior to the mask). The results will amaze you!
