Summer is a time of light, warmth, and outdoor fun. However, it is also a period when our skin is exposed to numerous factors that can affect its health, radiance, and firmness. Sun radiation, sea salt, pool chlorine, intense heat, and changes in daily routine can cause dehydration, spots, loss of elasticity, and premature aging..
That is why September is the ideal time to start a post-summer recovery routine, focused on hydrating, nourishing, and revitalizing the skin. Below, we show you step by step how to do it, integrating Pressensa products specifically formulated to restore your skin’s vitality.
Why the skin needs special care after summer
During the summer months, the skin undergoes different aggressions:
- Exposure to UVA and UVB rays: UVB rays damage the surface of the skin causing burns, while UVA rays penetrate deeper and deteriorate collagen and elastin, leading to wrinkles and sagging.
- Dehydration: Heat and sun exposure increase water loss from the skin, weakening the skin barrier.
- Oxidative stress: Sun exposure generates free radicals that accelerate skin aging and the appearance of spots.
- Pollution and external factors: Salt, chlorine, and pollutants contribute to dryness, irritation, and loss of radiance.
To counteract these effects, it is essential to follow a routine that hydrates, protects, and regenerates the skin, restoring its elasticity and radiance.
How to organize your post-summer routine
For visible results, it is important to follow a logical order of product application, starting with lighter and antioxidant treatments, followed by moisturizers, and ending with sun protection during the day or regenerative nutrition at night.
Step 1: Antioxidant serum Intense C VitaSerum
The first step in your post-summer routine should be to protect and repair from within, and for this, Intense C VitaSerum is the ideal option.
This antioxidant serum contains pure vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and Argirelox™, a peptide with a botox-like effect that reduces the appearance of expression lines. Vitamin C acts as a powerful antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals, stimulating collagen and elastin production, and helping to prevent the formation of spots and freckles.
In addition, its depigmenting and regenerating action helps even out skin tone, providing a brighter and more uniform appearance. Apply a few drops every morning to clean skin to prepare your face for the next steps of the routine.
Step 2: Intense hydration with TotaLift 24
After the serum, it is essential to provide long-lasting hydration. TotaLift 24 cream provides up to 24 hours of continuous hydration, thanks to its combination of APM hyaluronic acid, rosehip oil, argan oil, and vitamin E.
It also includes Argirelox™, which helps reduce muscle contraction and smooth expression lines, keeping the skin firm and supple. Its light texture absorbs easily, leaving the skin soft, nourished, and with restored elasticity. Apply daily, morning and evening, to enhance the effects of the antioxidant serum and prepare the skin for sun protection.
Step 3: Daily protection with DefencExtra 80 SPF
Although summer is over, sun protection remains essential. Pressensa’s DefencExtra 80 SPF offers very high protection against UVA and UVB rays, preventing burns, premature aging, and long-term damage.
Its ultra-light formula with aloe vera and chamomile extract hydrates and soothes the skin, while Suncat MTA filters effectively block solar damage. Apply daily to clean skin to ensure the effects of your post-summer routine remain intact and your skin stays protected and healthy.
Step 4: Night mask CreaMask C for luminosity and repair
For deep recovery during the night, CreaMask C is the perfect ally. This overnight absorbing mask is enriched with vitamin C, collagen, elastin, amino acids, and hyaluronic acid, providing:
- Immediate luminosity
- Improved skin texture and elasticity
- Intense hydration
- Reduction of wrinkles and expression lines
Apply the mask 2-3 times per week to allow the skin to regenerate while you sleep, repairing the damage caused by sun exposure and pollutants. It is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, and helps restore an even, healthy tone.
Step 5: Nighttime nutrition and regeneration with SupremEffects
To maximize recovery while you sleep, SupremEffects night cream is ideal. Its combination of LMW hyaluronic acid, Argirelox™, coenzyme Q10, and natural oils helps revitalize the skin, improve firmness and smoothness, and provides a visible lifting effect without invasive procedures.
This cream is perfect for mature or dry skin that needs to restore the hydrolipidic barrier and regain elasticity and radiance. Apply after nightly cleansing and after the serum or mask to boost cellular regeneration and ensure optimal results.
Additional tips to enhance post-summer recovery
- Drink enough water: Internal hydration complements topical hydration.
- Antioxidant-rich diet: Fruits and vegetables help fight free radicals.
- Avoid intense sun exposure: Limit direct exposure between 12 pm and 4 pm.
- Consistent routine: The key to skin recovery is consistency in product application.
By following these steps and using specific products, your skin will regain vitality, radiance, and elasticity, preparing for a healthy and radiant autumn.
