Although

skincare

is essential throughout

the year

, we must

adapt it

to each season.

In this sense, just now that spring begins and we begin to spend a lot of time outdoors

and

expose

more

areas

of the body

, it is time to

prepare the skin

for

summer

.

And it must be taken into account that the

summer season

is the time in which

the

skin tissue

suffers

the most due to

sun exposure

.

How to prepare your skin for summer step by step

Exposure to the sun's

UV rays

is not the only danger to the

skin

in summer.

"The

high temperature

increases the amount of

sweat

and, on the other hand, the skin loses fluid and becomes

dehydrated and dry

," says dermatologist

Andrea Cortés

on the

Farmacias

Cruz Verde

YouTube

channel .

In addition, skin spots become darker

and

redness

,

rosacea

or

allergies

also tend to worsen

.

Ultraviolet radiation

also

increases

sebum secretion

, leading to the appearance of

blackheads

or acne breakouts.

Likewise, skin infections

are common in summer

.

To

prevent

all these problems and prepare the skin for the summer season,

Andrea Cortés

lists the

three essential steps

that we must perform daily in the

previous months

:

  • Facial cleansing: it must be done both in the

    morning

    and at

    night

    .

    This way we will be able to

    remove dirt

    ,

    sweat

    and

    makeup remains

    .

    A mild

    foam

    ,

    gel

    or

    milk

    cleanser

    should be used

    .

  • Moisturizing

    : as we have said, the skin dries out easily during the summer.

    That is why you have to

    repair the

    skin barrier using

    moisturizing products

    also in the

    morning

    and at

    night

    .

  • Sun protection

    : you must use a

    high-spectrum

    sunscreen

    with

    an

    SPF

    (Sun Protection Factor)

    greater than 30

    .

    In addition, we must

    reapply it

    throughout the day every

    three

    or

    four hours

    and

    more frequently

    if we are

    exposed to the sun

    .
