How to moisturize skin in the summer

Many women only really work hard to moisturize in winter, when their skin is easily cracked and flaky. But they look down on and skip the moisturizer in the summer.

When summer comes, hot and humid weather will worsen oily skin conditions. Therefore, many people often skip the step of moisturizing in the summer because they think the skin is moist enough, even excess moisture. Cream products make your skin oily, causing your pores to clog. However, this is really wrong thinking!

In particular, summer makes sweat and sebum glands more active. However, inside the epidermis, there is not enough moisture. So moisturizing your skin in the summer is a way to replenish the moisture deep inside.

In addition, the regular use of air conditioning also causes dry skin. Combined with the habit of using oil absorbent paper every day or washing too much face… all of the above reasons make the skin in the summer lack moisture.

Because when there is a lack of moisture, the oil bags on the skin are stimulated and secreted strongly to compensate for the lost oil and moisturizer. The more oil you secrete, the more dehydrated your skin will become, the more sweat you will sweat causing clogged pores and sticky. This can even cause acne-prone skin and inflammation.

Mistakes in skin moisturizing in the summer

In the summer, the sun is often more intense, so this is the cause of damaging and destroying skin cells so that skin aging is quickly, sagging, freckles appear,… In addition to using sunscreen, using the correct moisturizer will help nourish and strengthen the skin’s immune system against external factors. and inside.

However, summer and winter skin moisturization is completely different. Women need to avoid the following mistakes when moisturizing skin in the summer:

Do not clean skin before applying the cream

Before moisturizing, skin care, make up… cleaning is extremely important. This facial care step will help the skin absorb all the nutrients from the cosmetics.

Especially you should note that even without makeup, there is still dirt and sunscreen on the skin. This can cause clogged, enlarged pores and potentially cause skin breakouts.

Use a concentrated lotion 

Summer temperature and humidity are usually quite high. In addition to the fact that the skin is constantly secreting oil and sweat, a concentrated lotion is not a wise choice. Using a concentrated moisturizer will make your skin always heavy and sticky, clog pores and cause acne breakouts.

Choose moisturizers with a light liquid texture, such as gels, lotions… Because they both absorb and bring better skin care effects. In addition, you should pay attention to choose products with the “non-comedogenic” note to make sure that the moisturizer will not clog pores and cause acne.

Let dry skin apply the cream

Moisturizer works best if used while skin is still damp. So, after washing your face, you can immediately spray a layer of toner or Begen Premium Placenta. Then wait for the product to gently soak into your face and proceed to apply the cream as soon as the skin is still damp.

Heat cream before serving

This is one of the tips not everyone knows. Preheating the lotion before applying it will help it penetrate better. It also helps the skin to more easily absorb the nutrients from the moisturizer. Take a sufficient amount of cream onto the palm, rub the palms together gently to warm up the cream and then pat gently on the skin.

Use a moisturizer only at night

Many girls just keep the habit of using moisturizer at night. However, the use of a moisturizer can only maintain skin moisture for 8-10 hours until you wake up in the morning.

During the day, the sun, the wind, and other environmental factors cause dry skin. So, in the morning you need to wash your face clean and apply moisturizer right away. This helps to keep the skin plump, full of vitality throughout the day.
