[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text text_larger=»no»]When temperatures and humidity rise, so does the desire to skip applying moisturizer. It's happened to you, hasn't it? What's more, there's a false myth that says moisturizing combination or oily skin isn't as important during the summer months. The things you hear! Today, I want to remind you of the importance of moisturizing your skin in summer because, despite the vacation rest, it's a critical time for our skin. Summer has arrived! And we're happy... But our skin isn't so much. Heat, sweat, sun exposure, air conditioning, salt, pool chlorine, and fewer hours of sleep - all are factors capable of leaving their mark on our skin. Why? Because the skin is made up of a very high percentage of water, and reductions of 10% have a negative impact. Throughout the summer, these factors can easily lead to an increase in the dreaded transepidermal water loss (TEWL), decreasing the protective barrier function of the skin, making it much more sensitive and irritated. Keeping skin hydrated not only gives us a luminous, young, and healthy appearance, but it also prevents the appearance of fine lines and loss of elasticity in the long term. Therefore, it must be cared for correctly every day of the year, and above all, remember the importance of moisturizing the skin in summer. How to keep your skin healthy and hydrated in summer Without going into details about diet and a diet rich in antioxidants and seasonal foods, you need to drink enough. Hydration starts from within. The important step for the skin to maintain optimal hydration levels is to ensure that your beauty routine regulates skin water levels and that we provide the skin with key lipids. Therefore, the use of a correctly formulated moisturizer is important. Our proposal is, of course, ESSENTIAL BIO TECHNOLOGICAL MOISTURISER, a light moisturizer that contains water and oils crucial for the most superficial layers of the epidermis. It also contains a large amount of antioxidants to protect sensitive and delicate skin textures, as well as nourishing the skin with an optimal concentration of the purest hyaluronic acid. It provides the skin with incredible hydration and just the right dose for its daily protection. However, if you are one of those who suffer from shine during the hot months and the combination of moisturizer and sunscreen feels too thick for your skin, we recommend using an antioxidant serum under your favorite SPF during the day. This way, you avoid transepidermal water loss and counteract the damaging effects of free radicals produced by the sun, without making your skin too oily. But of course, at night, try to follow a more complete beauty routine. The Twelve collection has three serums, each covering a different need. What's more, each serum contains a high amount of Buddleja, a botanical extract rich in antioxidants and capable of protecting the skin against UV rays. If you are concerned about spots and hyperpigmentation, the IDEAL BRIGHTENING CORRECTIVE SERUM is for you. Its exclusive combination of herbs possesses a potent blend of antioxidants that block the function of tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for excessive melanin production in the skin. Both our IDEAL MOISTURE LEVEL SERUM and the IDEAL REBALANCING LEVEL SERUM contain the same dose of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid and saccharide isomerate, a plant-derived sugar, identical to the skin's carbohydrates, which has the ability to retain water, reducing transepidermal water loss. However, the IDEAL MOISTURE LEVEL SERUM is more suitable for dry skin, as it contains a higher dose of Mallow extract (soothing and moisturizing.) In contrast, the IDEAL REBALANCING LEVEL SERUM is more for combination/oily skin because it contains Epilobium extract, capable of normalizing excessive sebum production, regulating the activity of the responsible enzyme, 5 alpha-reductase.
