The sun is shining, the temperatures are rising, and with them our good mood! Summer has many positive effects on our skin (hello sun-kissed complexion!), but at the same time, the heat can take its toll. We'll explain what your skin needs during the summer and give you our best tips for the ultimate summer glow!
Tip 1 – Moisture, moisture, moisture…
In summer, the skin loses a lot of moisture due to heat, sun, and increased sweating. Therefore, it's especially important to restore plenty of moisture during the warmer seasons. We recommend light formulations, as rich products are too intense for many skin types in summer. A light moisturizer such as our DAYTOX Daily Hydration combined with a hyaluronic serum (like the DAYTOX Hyaluron Serum) is sufficient to maintain the skin's elasticity without weighing it down with oil. The skin can breathe and is effectively protected from fine lines caused by dryness. Your complexion will have a fresh, summery glow.
Tip 2 – Safety First! Daily sun protection
UV-A and UV-B rays not only cause premature skin aging, but also cause the increasingly common occurrence of skin cancer. That's why it's so important to use a cream with an SPF every day. This effectively prevents dark spots and premature wrinkles. Intensive sun exposure disrupts your skin's natural regeneration cycle. It can no longer retain enough moisture, which is so important for its healthy, firm appearance. It's best to use a day cream with a built-in SPF of 20 (for example, our DAYTOX Hyaluron Cream SPF 20). Especially in midsummer, UV-A/UV-B radiation is very high – even on overcast or rainy days.
Tip 3 – Self Tan: Even tan without harmful sun rays
A lightly tanned summer complexion makes us look so much fresher! Our tip: Self-tanners promise sun-kissed skin in no time, without hours of sun exposure. Extended sunbathing not only dries out the skin, but also causes premature wrinkles and pigmentation problems due to harmful UVA/UVB rays. It's best to use a scrub before applying to ensure a beautifully even result. For example, mix our DAYTOX Self Tan Drops with your moisturizer and apply evenly to your face, neck, and décolleté. Your complexion will have a summery tan after just a few applications – without the harmful effects of the sun.
Tip 4 – Body Scrub – Body scrub for an even tan
Do you want a silky-soft summer body with a beautifully even tan? Our tip for you: Treat yourself to a body scrub once or twice a week. Dead skin cells on the surface of the epidermis are thoroughly removed. Your skin texture immediately feels smoother and more even. This will also make your tan much more even. Make sure you use a gentle body scrub product like the DAYTOX Body Scrub 5-Piece Set, as it gently removes dead skin cells with sea salt while nourishing your skin with rosemary oil.
Tip 5 – Keep it cool: Store your products in the refrigerator!
What's more refreshing than a nice cool down on a hot day? How about giving your masks and serums a cool spot in the fridge? Especially in the morning, you'll appreciate a revitalizing beauty ritual with pleasantly cool products. When you use chilled skincare products, blood vessels constrict and puffiness is reduced. The tired eye area immediately appears firmer and wide awake! This is a great way to start the next summer day!
Tip 6 – Makeup Detox: Let your skin breathe
Finally unwind on vacation! Just as you enjoy this feeling, your skin will also appreciate being able to breathe a sigh of relief. Treat yourself to a break from your daily makeup routine and discover how beautiful your complexion can be naturally. Makeup products can clog our pores and cause blemishes due to residue that isn't completely removed during makeup removal. Vacation is a particularly good time to forgo daily makeup for one to two weeks. Your skin will visibly recover, radiate a deep, clean glow, and take on a beautiful, fresh glow.
