#skinschool Our skin in summer
☀️ In summer our skin changes due to rising temperatures and increased UV radiation.
🌡️ Why skin becomes oilier in summer
-
Sebum production increases : Heat stimulates the sebaceous glands to produce more skin fat (sebum).
-
Sweat mixes with sebum : This can clog pores more quickly.
-
UV radiation thickens the skin : The top layer of skin becomes thicker, which can further narrow the pores.
-
T-zone particularly affected : forehead, nose and chin have more sebaceous glands and shine more quickly.
The cause: When we sweat, our skin loses fluid. Our body compensates for this loss with increased sebum production. Additionally, salty seawater or chlorinated pool water, sunscreen, and air conditioning irritate the skin barrier.
What does our skin need in summer?
- lots of moisture ( Soothing Nectar or rose water )
- Gentle but thorough cleaning (avoid strong rubbing)
- soothing and light care instead of rich creams
1 tsp Pure Clean Face - draws sebum and dirt out of the pores
1 tsp rose water - soothes, moisturizes and has a mild antibacterial effect
1 tsp ripe avocado (mashed) - supports skin regeneration in case of irritated skin or pimples
1 tsp honey - antibacterial and moisturizing
Mix all ingredients until a creamy paste forms. Apply the mask with the mask brush, either partially or over the entire face.
Allow the mask to dry slightly and leave on for a maximum of 5 minutes. Thoroughly remove the mask with warm water or a damp Organic Face Cloth .

And from the inside?
- Drink enough (at least 2 liters per day)

- Eat lots of red fruits and vegetables
- reduce sugary and spicy foods
- If possible, be in the shade from 12:00 to 15:00, otherwise wear a sun hat and sunscreen
