Post-summer skin care

I hope you all had a wonderful summer, filled with lots of sunshine (sunshine received in other parts of the world not here, in rainy Toronto L)... As we all know, the sun rays, especially the UVA, have lots of beneficial qualities (ex: it is a natural antioxidant that fights free radicals, I just read this!), taken in small quantities. But the sun rays are also dangerous (I will write about that in more detail another time) and have a dehydrating effect on our fragile skin. Dehydration will lead to fine lines and later wrinkles, as dehydrated skin ages faster than a well maintained one.

What can we do? How could we recuperate our suppleness now that the summer is over?

Well, to start with, we can do an exfoliation or a scrub with a gentile (granule free) type of exfoliant. You can do that at home with the “Mild Aroma Peel” from Darphin or “Gommage 305 or 303” from YonKa, or you can have it done professionally, by a trained aesthetician, as part of your monthly facial (don’t worry if you haven’t had monthly facials, there is still time and scrubs do work marvellously in getting rid of those superficial skin cells that are just hanging in...). Continue by applying a hydrating serum followed by a few drops of Rose Aromatic Oil and finish with Hydraskin Light or Hydraskin Rich Cream depending if you have a dryer or combination type of skin. If you prefer to use YonKa, you can go with Dermol 1 or 2 or 3 followed by Creme 28, or use the Optimizer Creme and Fluid combo for an extra antiaging effect.

Don’t forget about using your Hydrating Mask regularly! Whichever way you choose to go you will find that your skin improves drastically, becoming more smooth and supple, radiant with a natural glow.
Good luck!
