Why exfoliate your skin in summer?

Exfoliating your skin in summer is essential to keep this organ clean, fresh, rejuvenated, protected, toned and renewed. Above all, toprepare the epidermis for the effects of the sun during the summer season. Likewise, exfoliating the skin offers several benefits that are important to know:

• Removes dead skin cells and dirt from our face.
• Prevents clogged pores, keeping the skin oxygenated.
• Reduces skin marks.
• Provides a better texture, leaving it even and soft.
• Renews skin cells, fighting the signs of ageing.
• Stimulates blood and lymph circulation, helping to remove toxins from our body.
• Helps other moisturisers absorb better that we want to apply, so these products can work more effectively.

Tips for exfoliating your skin in summer

Unlike the rest of the year, during summer it is necessary to follow a series of tips suited to the season. The tips are as follows:

• Choose a gentle exfoliator, as it is less aggressive and therefore does not irritate the skin. In addition, this type of exfoliator helps you achieve a long-lasting, even tan.
• After exfoliating the skin, apply a good moisturiser to achieve the best result and prevent the skin from drying out.
• Do not exfoliate after hair removal. It is better to do it 1 to 2 days before hair removal, because this removes all the dirt without the risk of getting any infection.
• Exfoliate once a week. In summer, overdoing this procedure can become harmful to the skin.
• Use SPFSPF+50 sunscreen in your daily routine to prevent sun spots or burns from appearing.
