Cleansing and exfoliation for radiant skin in summer

Summer is the time of year when our skin faces extreme environmental conditions.

We have increased exposure to the sun, one of the skin's main enemies, chlorine, air conditioning, and so on, and yet we skip applying our treatments or don't do so as religiously as the rest of the year.

How can we take care of our skin in summer?

Our skin is a vital organ , composed of bacteria, fungi, and viruses that coexist in balance and are known as the skin microbiota. Having a balanced microbiota is the first protective barrier against external aggressions , which is why we need to take care of it 365 days a year, and even more so in the summer!

At NATANA, we understand that the skin and its microbiota are protective allies , and therefore, if we want to care for our skin so that it's healthier, younger, and looks better than ever, we must also take its microbiota into account.

That is why we were pioneers in developing two products with a complex of PREbiotics and POSTbiotics, called BIOMA PROTECT, which maintains balanced skin microbiota and the skin barrier function.

What happens to your skin in summer?

Increased temperature, direct exposure to UV rays and increased production of sweat and sebum, Here's why it's so important:

1. Removal of Impurities

During the summer, skin is exposed to increased amounts of environmental pollutants and sweat. Daily cleansing helps remove these impurities, preventing them from accumulating in pores and causing problems like acne, blackheads, and dull skin. Clean skin allows skincare products to penetrate better and be more effective.

2. Control of Excess Sebum

Summer heat can increase sebum production, which can lead to oily, shiny skin. Proper cleansing helps maintain sebum balance, preventing skin from looking overly oily and reducing the likelihood of acne breakouts.

3. UV Protection

Sun exposure is one of the leading causes of skin damage, including sunburn, dark spots, and premature aging. Cleansing your skin before applying sunscreen ensures it adheres properly and offers maximum protection. Additionally, clean and exfoliated skin allows for more effective post-sun treatments, such as moisturizers and repairers.

4. Exfoliation for Radiant Skin

Regular exfoliation in the summer is essential to remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, which can accumulate more quickly due to sweat and sunscreen use. Exfoliated skin looks smoother, brighter, and healthier. Exfoliation also helps unclog pores and prevent acne breakouts.

5. Improved Skin Texture and Tone

Over time, the buildup of dead skin cells and sun damage can cause skin to appear uneven and patchy. Exfoliation helps improve skin texture and tone, promoting cell regeneration and revealing fresher, more even skin.

Just as sunscreen should be applied at least twenty minutes before sun exposure to do its job, we should apply our facial routine with enough time to ensure its absorption.

So what skincare routine should I do in the summer?

When summer arrives we relax in every sense, and we must do so... but always taking care of our health, in this case: the health of our skin

In fact, they have confessed to us that on many occasions the routine skincare They don't do it in the morning, because "As we go to the beach or the pool... why should we apply products if they are going to dissolve in the water?"

Well, we regret to inform you that this idea couldn't be more wrong!

During this time, it's crucial to adopt a skincare routine that includes regular cleansing and exfoliation, if possible, using products that care for the skin's microflora. Follow this with products that hydrate the skin and protect us from the sun.

And even if some of the product can be removed, if the skin has had time to absorb it, it will be much stronger and more resistant to external aggressions that could damage it or to UV rays that can affect the tissue's DNA, just as they do in our daily lives.

Therefore, cleansing and exfoliating properly during the summer is key to maintaining healthy skin and its microbiota, ensuring balanced, protected, and radiant skin.
