The importance of skincare in the summer for your skin:

Welcome back to Soft Care, your premier destination for exceptional care for you and your family. We offer the largest selection of essential body and hair care products for every member of the family. Today, we'll be discussing summer skincare and everything related to it. Summer is a time for fun and sunny outings, but it also presents a real challenge for your skin. Heat, sun, salt, and humidity all contribute to dryness, pigmentation, and a loss of radiance. Therefore, summer skincare isn't a luxury; it's a daily necessity to maintain your skin's health and vitality. In this Soft Care article, we'll provide you with practical steps and a complete routine to help you care for your skin in the summer and maintain its radiance throughout the season. But before we begin, let's first explain the importance of summer skincare:

Summer increases water loss from the skin's surface and weakens the skin's natural barrier. If you don't follow a proper summer skincare routine, this will lead to:

Dry and peeling skin.
Sunlight exacerbates pigmentation, causing your skin to darken.
Loss of radiance and the early appearance of fine lines.

Therefore, a summer skincare routine should include:

Protection from harmful radiation.
Deep hydration, whether morning or evening.
Gentle cleansing to maintain skin balance.

In this section, we will explain the best skincare routines for summer.

Choosing the right skincare products for summer

When choosing skincare products for summer, focus on products with the following characteristics:

A light consistency, preferably a gel or lotion.
It should be free of strong perfumes or drying alcohol, as these cause skin dryness.
It contains moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and panthenol.
The presence of antioxidants (Vitamin C) at a moderate concentration.
Moisturizers that support the skin barrier (Ceramides).

Here is a selection of SoftCare products that we recommend using in the summer:

Light moisturizers (Nivea Soft).
Soothing products such as Kenta Baby Cream after sun exposure.
Sunscreen SPF50.
Deep cleansing lotion.
Skin lightening creams.

In each of these product categories, we offer a wide range of choices to suit all skin types. You can view them all in the Facial Care Routine section .

Soft Care's guide to protecting your skin from the sun:

What is most harmful to all skin types in the summer is direct exposure to the sun, especially if it is for a long time, so sunscreen is indispensable.

The importance of sunscreen for protecting your skin:

Sunscreen is the most important shield against the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UVA/UVB) rays. Without sunscreen, all other steps in your skincare routine may not achieve the desired results. Therefore, the first and last piece of advice is to use a strong, broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days. Here are some features to help you choose the right sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun.

The best sunscreen to help protect the skin from the sun:

In hot and sunny climates, especially in Saudi Arabia, we recommend choosing:

Broad spectrum sunscreen SPF 50, water resistant and suitable for your facial skin.
It contains ingredients suitable for oily skin.
Its formula is light and fast-absorbing for normal and combination skin.
It contains antioxidants such as vitamin E, which adds extra protection.
Tested by trusted authorities and compatible with your skin type.

Additional sun protection products for the skin:

Protecting your skin from the sun isn't just about using a suitable sunscreen outdoors; you should also use powerful products that moisturize and brighten your skin, especially if you're exposed to the sun daily. You can use the complete Kenta range .

The best skin moisturizing routine after the beach:

Everyone knows how seawater affects the skin and causes dryness, and the results can worsen on very hot days or prolonged sun exposure at sea, but you can reduce these effects by following a post-sea skin protection routine.

The most important steps to protect your skin from the sun before and after swimming:

Before going to the sea, you can follow these steps:

Use sunscreen 20–30 minutes before sun exposure in the water.
Reapply sunscreen every two hours and after every swim.

After the sea, you can follow these steps:

Rinse the body immediately with fresh water to remove salt and sand.
Spray water or a gentle cleanser on the face and body.
Drying gently with a towel without rubbing increases skin irritation.
Use a rich but non-greasy moisturizer. Examples: Instant moisturizing lotion or gel containing hyaluronic acid.
For the face you can use a moisturizing serum, then a light moisturizer, then sunscreen if you will be staying in the sun.
Use lip balm

This way you can reduce the severity of the effects of prolonged sun exposure on your skin with salt water and enjoy your summer vacations with your family without worrying about skin problems and how to treat them because you are doing the daily treatment.
