Post-holiday facial routine: tips and products

The arrival of September can only mean one thing: routine. And when we talk about this, we are not only referring to returning to work, but also to the extra care our skin is crying out for. You already know that during summer it is usually more exposed, which is why afterwards we need specific products that regenerate, hydrate and nourish the dermis.

The dehydration is one of the main problems our skin faces after the holidays.

Who or what is behind this? The hours exposed to the sun, sea salt, pool chlorine, changes in temperature...

But it does not end there. Another of the skin’s biggest enemies is pigmentation. The appearance of dark spots, caused by photoageing, which makes our dermis feel uneven, with a dull tone and lack of radiance.

Antioxidants for the post-holiday facial routine

Now more than ever, it is time to include antioxidants in our facial routine. Vitamin C or hyaluronic acid... are some of the active ingredients your skin needs at this stage to regain its usual radiant appearance.

Why these? Because they provide luminosity, hydrate deeply, fighting this dehydration, protect the skin from free radicals and also eliminate the appearance of dark spots caused by the sun.

Let us remember that some of the harmful effects of the sun are skin ageing, loss of firmness, uneven texture... And with hyaluronic acid what we achieve is to fill those wrinkles and fight sagging and lack of hydration.

While with vitamin C, for example, what is achieved is the reduction of dark spots, thanks to its depigmenting action. As well as providing luminosity and protecting the skin from external agents such as pollution or solar radiation.

Treatments in the post-holiday facial routine

Another of the steps that cannot be missing from your post-holiday facial routine, in addition to cleansing, sun protection and depigmentation, is hydration.

Hydrating face mask

Use moisturising cream daily and, a couple of times a week, apply a hydrating face mask. The result? Luminous, firm, soft and super-hydrated skin. Our recommendations? Here they are:

Avène Hydrating Soothing Mask

This Avène mask hydrates, soothes the skin, fights irritation and brings luminosity. Especially indicated for skin with redness, sunburn or after long sun exposure.

The perfect complement to include in your post-holiday facial routine, a couple of times a week. More information about Avène Hydrating Soothing Mask by clicking.

Another option is the Nuxe mask that refreshes, hydrates, soothes and protects the skin for 48 hours.

It also has an anti-pollution effect and fights tightness and other skin imperfections, thanks to its ingredients of natural origin. Applying it 1 or 2 times a week is also enough for hydrated and nourished skin.

Facial exfoliation

And so that this mask and the rest of the products we use in our routine penetrate deeply into the deepest layers of the dermis, do you want to know the secret?

The exfoliation. As with body exfoliation, it removes dead cells, provides hydration and prepares our skin for our post-holiday facial routine. And best of all, it does not make your tan last less.

MartiDerm Essentials Facial Exfoliating Cream 50 ml

This exfoliant by MartiDerm fulfils a triple action: it cleanses deeply, eliminates impurities and renews the outermost layer of the dermis.

It also regulates excess oil production in the skin, fights signs of ageing and brings luminosity to the face, applying it just once a week.

Caudalie Gentle Exfoliating Cream 75 ml

Or if you prefer, you can also try this Caudalie exfoliating cream. It cleanses and purifies the skin, as well as helping cell renewal by eliminating dead cells and impurities from our face. The result? Soft, luminous skin.

Sun protection factor

Yes, you probably know this, but... it never hurts to remember! Although, with all the pain in our hearts, we have already said goodbye to the beach and the pool, we must not say goodbye to sun protection.

The sun filter should accompany us all year round. Do you know why? Because the sun is not only with us in summer or on our seaside holidays. Sitting in front of a screen, eating or having a drink on a terrace, going outside... these are moments when the sun also hits, and a lot!

So the solution is always applying high sun protection. If you are one of those who feels lazy about putting on make-up, but want a healthy glow effect product without using a thousand creams, choose a BB cream with protection

and that’s it! It is also a top option if you are still tanned. In this link you will find a wide selection of BB creams for different skin tones and with sun protection.
