Oil instead of cleansing milk, scrub prolongs tan, nourishing serums and masks morning and evening.
Do not miss this routine if you want to recover a radiant, colored skin with fewer post-summer wrinkles and signs.
Sun, high temperatures, salt water of the sea, rays overlooking the mountains affect the well-being of the skin of all, and at all ages, leaving obvious signs.
The skin takes the hit, showing fatigue and stress.
Can it be remedied?
While the world of cosmetology research finds new elixirs from nature, the visagists are changing their treatment techniques according to the season.
Because the post-vacation beauty routine needs to be more intense and thorough.
“Are you back from vacation? Do you want to extend your tan as much as possible, maybe see it brighter and more compact, avoid blemishes and chapped skin? and severe dehydration could also trigger the phenomenon of oily skin and excessive sebum production, as a rebound reaction ”.
Post-holiday cleansing:
Corvaglia specifies: “to prolong the tan and preserve a healthy and radiant skin, a few precautions are enough but fundamental in September. We begin with cleansing, which after the summer must be performed with detergents in the form of restructuring oils, rich in omega 3 and fatty acids to restore the right percentage of the natural protective hydrolipidic film, damaged by the sun ”.
Treatments save suntan and complexion:
To prolong the beautiful complexion of the skin in summer, the secret is instead exfoliation. “Generally the technique serves to renew cell turnover which normally occurs every 28 days, - says the expert. “In September, however, going out is useful for prolonging the tan, making the skin more luminous and with a uniform color”. Eliminating the superficial layer of the skin corresponds to canceling even those chromatic irregularities that summer stress has drawn on the skin and "with exfoliation, to be carried out regularly once a week, the tan will be renewed with a new light". Corvaglia recommends choosing exfoliating products for the face, with a fine and not coarse texture “because they could be too aggressive on a skin that also needs to be restructured”.The weekly scrubs should be applied to the face, neck and neckline and if the skin tends to acne, the formulas with alpha and beta hydroxy acids are better, effective in minimizing impurities, blackheads and pedicels. If, on the other hand, the skin is mature, soft scrubs with antioxidant substances and small granules obtained from less hard raw materials such as rice or oats are required. The scrubs are applied by moistening them in the palm of the hand with the help of a soft brush also necessary to spread them on the face with delicacy and care. If the scrub is done on the body you can use the rougher brushes and sponges.If, on the other hand, the skin is mature, soft scrubs with antioxidant substances and small granules obtained from less hard raw materials such as rice or oats are required.

Nourishing stressed and dry skin:
“Hydration must be done morning and evening, - recommends Corvaglia. “In the evening it is recommended to also add a serum based on hyaluronic acid, because it will help to make the skin more luminous, compact and firm. Another very useful advice is, after the evening exfoliating treatment, apply a nourishing mask based on natural substances also mixed together such as aloe vera or jojoba oil, white yogurt and honey or even argan oil ".
New elixirs after summer:
On the ad hoc ingredients front for the upcoming new season, the trend is directed towards natural remedies also used pure on the skin, organic and environmentally friendly, even obtained from industrial recycling systems. Like the recent exfoliating active ingredients obtained from recycled coffee grounds. The bible of formulators in the cosmetic field, Cosmetic & Toiletries, points out the phenomenon and mentions the Kawa project for the collection, processing and development of
exfoliating coffee
suitable for dermatological use. Collected by UK companies, the system has the 'Bio-Bean' patent. A new study, published in the Cosmetics Journal, instead reports the use of
Indian sandalwood oil
(Santalum album) as an exceptional antioxidant. In the research it turns out that, with exposure to strong environmental stressors (in summer there are many), Indian sandalwood oil induces a reduction of reactive oxygen species (which oxidize the skin) of 30-40. % more than vitamins such as E. Furthermore, - the study reads, - the oil is able to significantly reduce collagen damage in skin subjected to high levels of stress, such as blue sunlight and blue light. digital devices and cigarette smoke pollution ”. Blends of
pure organic vegetable oils are also effective
, optionally in herbal medicine, to spread generously on the driest areas of the skin. Also on the exfoliation front, in creams, foams, foams and masks, there is no shortage of novelties. The phytocosmetic brand
Dolomia
uses botanical extracts and active ingredients obtained from plants, water and rock of the Belluno
Dolomites
with new masks and scrubs, for face and body, based on Alpine rose leaves, alpine herbs, Rosehip oil, crystals of Dolomite and walnut microgranules. For post-holiday care, the company has also developed a multisensory face night oil based on essential oils and plant extracts.
