2. moisturizing care and UV protection in summer
Summer, sun, sunshine: it's not only good for our mood, but also for our skin. At least if we protect it well from UV radiation and look after it properly after being outdoors. Anyone who now prefers to take their activities outside should adapt their skin care to the new conditions.
Why is this important? Summer skin has different requirements to winter skin, which need to be taken into account. Moisturizing and UV protection are the top priority in summer. The rich and moisturizing creams, oils and balms needed for winter are now on hold and should ideally be stored in a cool, dark place.
3 Hydrating active ingredients: aloe vera, hyaluronic acid & co
Aloe vera is a real miracle weapon in terms of its moisturizing effect. The juice of its leaves, which contains a lot of stored moisture, is the basis for Casida's aloe vera gel. All skin types benefit from the slightly cooling gel, which is particularly beneficial for skin irritated by the sun.
Hyaluronic acid should also be included in your skin care program for the summer. Casidas Hyaluronic Serum Intensive visibly firms the skin from the inside out. Hyaluronic acid is the anti-ageing booster par excellence.
4. plant oils: regenerating body care
Natural, purely plant-based skin care oils are an effective means of body care in summer. Coconut oil nourishes the skin, provides it with moisture and also blocks some of the UV radiation.
Wild rose and almond oil from Casida are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, which are easily absorbed by the skin and provide it with valuable nutrients and moisture.
5. extra tips for beautiful summer skin
In addition to the summer skincare routine, there are a few more tips: In the evening, the face should be gently cleansed and make-up and dirt thoroughly removed. The best way to do this is with a micellar water without alcohol. Peelings remove dead skin cells and sun cream residue.
Please do not forget: Eyes and lips need special protection in summer, as the skin here is very thin and particularly vulnerable. Drinking plenty of water to replenish the moisture balance from within rounds off the care program.
