Healthy, moisturised skin: how to retain the benefits of summer for longer
Holidays are the perfect time to free the mind and body after months spent working in front of a computer and to recharge energy for the busy winter season ahead.
Many studies highlight what is now commonly referred to as "post-vacation syndrome," that feeling of stress mixed with sadness that affects vacationers upon returning to the city or even a few days before the rest period ends.
What to do? Implement some recommended strategies to maintain the benefits gained during the holidays, starting with the body, the skin, and the much-loved tan:
- Nourish the skin: That means providing the skin with active ingredients and nutrients that benefit it, such as vitamins A and E, and omega 3 and 6. Continue the good habit of eating red, orange, and yellow fruits and vegetables, as well as fish. If specific supplements were used during the summer, continue taking them for at least another 30 days.
- Hydrate the skin: If not continuously renewed by sunlight, a tan fades within three weeks. This happens because the cells exposed to the sun have a shorter life cycle than usual (normally 28 days), and when they die, they detach, taking the tan with them.
Additionally, the skin of the body first produces melanin and then thickens, two defense strategies against the attack of solar rays. Therefore, it dries out, and once back from vacation, with the smoothing and softening benefits of the sea gone, the skin becomes rough and dull.
To properly hydrate the skin, it is recommended to use a specific Medical Device, avoiding the use of cosmetics or DIY creams.
This is the case of Sinaqua Nourishing Skin Balm: a body cream with a rich formula based on aloe vera and natural oils, capable of keeping the skin hydrated, reducing dryness and dullness without altering the delicate skin PH. It contains no alcohol, silicones, parabens, or ingredients that could cause allergic reactions and is available for purchase online in two practical sizes: 100ml and 200ml.
