During the summer months, our skin faces many challenges. While we enjoy the sun and water fun, the skin on our body often becomes dry, sensitive and loses its softness. The combination of strong sun, salty sea water or chlorine from the pool, as well as the summer wind are the main culprits of this condition. To keep your skin healthy and radiant, it is important to understand the causes and provide it with the right care.
Causes of dry skin in summer
- Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to the sun damages the skin's protective barrier, leading to moisture loss. UV rays reduce the skin's natural oils, leaving it dehydrated and rough.
- Water (pool/sea): Salty sea water and chlorinated water in pools dry out the skin, washing away its natural hydrolipidic layer. This leads to a loss of elasticity and an unpleasant feeling of tightness.
- Wind: Strong summer winds, especially in combination with the sun, can have a drying effect by evaporating moisture from the skin's surface.
How to protect ourselves from drying out?
Prevention is the first and most important step.
- Use sunscreen: Apply sunscreen with a high SPF factor to the entire body, renewing it regularly, especially after swimming.
- Shower after swimming: After getting out of the sea or pool, take a quick shower with lukewarm water to wash away the salt or chlorine.
- Stay hydrated: Drinking enough water keeps your skin hydrated from the inside.
- Proper care: Use mild shower gels that do not dry out the skin. After showering, while the skin is still slightly damp, apply a moisturizing lotion or oil.
