Ways to Keep Your Skin Hydrated
Summer is wonderful, but especially during extreme heat days your skin can really take a beating. The combination of intense sun, heat, sweating, and air conditioning causes your skin to dry out faster, become irritated, or even get damaged. That’s why it’s extra important to hydrate and protect your skin well. In this blog you’ll find practical tips to keep your skin fresh and healthy, and which products from the Beautyplaza range can help you.
1. Hydrate your skin, inside and out
Drinking enough water remains the best foundation for healthy skin, especially in warm weather. But your skin also needs external hydration to retain moisture and stay supple. A great way to refresh and hydrate your skin on the go is with thermal water. These sprays calm the skin, reduce redness and give an immediate fresh feeling.
For example, try Avène Eau Thermale or La Roche-Posay Eau Thermale thermal water. These sprays are ideal for giving your face and body a cooling boost throughout the day.
It’s also wise to use lightweight, hydrating creams or gels that lock in moisture without feeling heavy. This prevents that tight or sticky sensation.
2. Never forget your sun protection
Sun protection is essential, especially in high temperatures. Choose a sunscreen that not only protects against UV radiation, but is also sweat- and water-resistant. And above all, don’t forget sensitive areas like your nose, ears, and lips!
The La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Stick SPF50+ is perfect for easy and precise extra protection on vulnerable spots.
For the entire body, the Vichy Capital Soleil Cell Protect Fluid Spray is a light, non-greasy sunscreen that absorbs quickly and even provides a cooling effect.
Build your sun exposure gradually and reapply sunscreen every two hours, even if you're in the shade or swimming.
3. Soothe and restore with the right aftersun
After a day in the sun, your skin needs extra care. A good aftersun nourishes, hydrates, and helps the skin recover faster from minor irritations or mild burns.
The Uriage Bariésun Repairing Balm Après-Soleil is a rich balm that deeply soothes and restores the skin.
Prefer something lighter and refreshing? The Sun Protection Face & Body Refreshing After Sun Gel delivers instant cooling and contains calming ingredients to reduce redness.
Use aftersun daily after sun exposure to keep your skin supple and prevent dehydration.
4. Put together your summer beauty kit
Whether you're headed to the beach, spending the day outdoors, or working outside, a well-packed summer beauty kit is essential. Make sure to always have:
- A bottle of thermal water to refresh your skin
- A sunscreen with high SPF for your body and a stick for sensitive areas
- A cooling aftersun to end your day
With these essentials, you'll be ready for the hottest days and give your skin the best care.
