How to properly care for your skin in summer and why is moisturizing key?

Summer brings sun, sea, and leisure – and also greater challenges for our skin. Sun rays, salt water, wind, and heat can quickly damage our skin’s protective layer, dry it out, or cause discomfort. That’s why summer skin care is just as important as sun protection itself.

Why is moisturizing your skin so important in summer?

Exposure to the sun and other external factors reduces the skin's natural ability to retain moisture. The skin can become:

• dry,
• tightened,
• irritated,
• more susceptible to external influences.

Therefore, it is crucial to gently cleanse it after every sun exposure and then moisturize it richly with quality products that help restore its natural balance.

Proper after-sun care supports the skin barrier, helps maintain elasticity, and reduces sensitivity that can occur due to sun exposure.

How to treat your skin if you get sunburned?

Although we try to protect ourselves, sometimes the skin turns red or becomes uncomfortably hot. In such cases, it is recommended to:

• retreat to the shade as soon as possible,
• cool the skin with lukewarm (not ice cold) water,
• drink enough fluids,
• use gentle, moisturizing products without alcohol, strong fragrances, or irritating ingredients.

If the burns are severe – the skin is very painful, blisters form, or you notice other signs of dehydration – you should seek medical attention.

For milder cases, where the skin primarily needs soothing, moisture, and support in recovery, we use gentle care products such as our AfterSun Lotion.
