It’s that time of year!
As Dr. Costi our favorite celebrity dermatologist puts it, the transition to warmer weather can put a lot of stress on our skin. The shift in humidity and temperature means you have to help keep your skin’s balance, but we’re also to protect it from longer exposure to sunlight.
So what will you need to avoid inflammation, redness, oily and clogged skin?
Let’s see which products Dr. Costi’s recommends for taking you into the summer.
As the weather gets warmer it means we will be going out more, exposing your skin to more pollution and free-radicals. The result? Unwanted allergies and break-outs.
Having a gentle cleanser that’s mild and hydrating at the same time will help your skin to adjust better.
The Obagi exfoliating day lotion will gently scrub away dirt and dead cells, revealing a brighter looking and healthy skin underneath.
Now get a free foaming cleanser with every exfoliating hydrating lotion.
Now that we spend more of our time outside, remember Dr. Costi’s golden skin care rule: always wear sunscreen.
One of our favorites is a 2-in-1 that acts as a moisturizer as well as a sun protection.
The DCL ultra-light oil-free and fragrance-free formulation gently hydrates and balances the complexion, leaving skin soft, comfortable and impeccably protected from the sun’s damaging rays with an SPF 30 factor.
In hotter weather, skin goes overboard with sebum production, which can lead to clogged pores, irritation and acne. However you still need to moisturize it properly, to keep it from drying-out.
Dr. Costi recommends the MAD Breakout control daily moisturizer. Light and easy to apply, this lightweight daily moisturizer tames oil production and calms irritated skin making your skin look and feel great with its acting agents Chamomile and Ginger root.
As the summer is coming close, with high temperature and high humidity in the air, your skin needs less moisturizing. You need to switch from heavy creams to something very light that helps protect your skin barrier. We love the Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum made from Olive squalane and viniferine. Suitable for all skin types it will brighten your face, correct the appearance of existing dark spots and even-out the complexion.
When your skin goes through a seasonal transition, check with your doctor to see whether your retinol dosage should be changed.
A retinol serum that everyone can use is the Sesderma Reti-age that combines a dose of retinol and hyaluronic acid suitable for any skin type. It will help eliminate fine lines and wrinkles giving you the smoothest finish.
Remember to always use it at night as it can cause photosensitivity.
A final recommendation? If you need an extra helping hand, now’s the perfect time to book a treatment at the clinic. Now is the ideal time for rejuvenation procedures like peelings and laser treatments.
Stay beautiful!
