<\/p>\nDear ASPA friends & clients,<\/p>\n
The summer is finally here! We hope you are enjoying the weather.<\/p>\n
After the past few years, we\u2019ve never felt more in need of a relaxing summer holiday. The chance to unwind and rejuvenate is certainly something our mind and bodies need, but if you\u2019re not careful then holidays can be less kind to your skin.<\/p>\n
From sun damage to holiday break-outs, there are plenty of pitfalls to avoid!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Prevention is better than cure, and there are a couple of changes you may want to make to your skincare regime before you go away in order to benefit your skin.<\/p>\n
\u2018We always advise our clients to use a consistent skin care routine, but the week before travel we recommend they stop using products that contain retinol <\/strong>as this can make the skin more sensitive to the sun\u2019s rays.<\/p>\n While none of us would consider lying in the sun without applying sun protection<\/strong> product,\u00a0it\u2019s still incredible how many of us get it wrong, over exposing the skin and even burning. And while you might not be able to see the damage you are causing, changes will be occurring within the dermis. Sun protection products can be very difficult for the skin as well, so it is very immportant to find the right type that suits your skin. At ASPA we have the selection of sun protection products that suit every skin type.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re prone to hyperpigmentation, just one hour in the sun, unprotected, can undo months of hard work you\u2019ve put in looking after your skin. This is why it\u2019s extremely important to use an antioxidant serum<\/a> followed by sunscreen<\/strong> every day to maximise your skin\u2019s defence and help stabilise the pigment producing cells. You should opt for a minimum SPF 50<\/strong> and reapply every couple of hours.<\/p>\n After a relaxing day in the sun your skin will be in need of a thorough cleanse. If you don\u2019t do this you expose yourself to the risk of the dreaded holiday break-out.\u00a0 Constant application of sunscreen can equal congestions and breakouts, so when you\u2019re back at the hotel, de-clog those pores and refresh skin with a double cleanse<\/a>,<\/strong> ideally followed by a cleanising clay mask .\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n You also want to ensure the skin doesn\u2019t dry out, as this can leave pores open to bacteria and further holiday break-outs. Post sun exposure, it\u2019s important to replenish the moisture skin may have lost during the day. A hyaluronic acid & vitamin B3<\/a> rich serum or gel is the perfect choice as they are light but effective at deeply hydrating the skin.<\/p>\n MORNING HOLIDAY ROUTINE<\/strong> EVENING HOLIDAY ROUTINE<\/strong> If you have any questions about your holiday skincare routine, please contact us via info@aspadirect.com<\/p>\n Kind Regards,During your holiday<\/strong><\/h4>\n
