Being
on holiday doesn’t mean that skincare takes a back seat. In fact, with time on
your hands, follow these best practices.
Always
use skin products for your particular skin type. An oily skin has different
needs to those of a dry skin. When cleansing, respect the natural balance of
your skin with a pH-neutral make-up remover such as Bioderma Hydrabio H2O
cleanser. The eye area is particularly fragile, so use a gentle routine for
this area.
Exfoliate
at least once a week. Choose a product which smooths and purifies the skin
while maintaining its natural balance – NeoStrata Skin Active Exfoliating Wash
is wonderful.
Use
an antioxidant serum to fight free radicals. Obagi Professional-C Serum is a
daily Vitamin C antioxidant that improves signs of photo-ageing by helping to
smooth texture, even skin tone, stimulate collagen synthesis and improve
pigmentation. It helps to reduce inflammation of the skin and gives the skin a
youthful radiance. The 10% concentrated formulation is for dry, sensitive,
reactive skins.
Use
a moisturiser which balances the level of water within the skin. Obagi Hydrate
Moisturiser locks in moisture and hydration for up to 8 hours.
To
avoid the risk of allergies, choose hypoallergenic make-up which meets the
needs of all skin and eye types.
A
good night cream is always a good idea, allowing the product to work while you
sleep. NeoStrata® Bionic Lotion is a light-weight, exfoliating face and body
lotion. It contains multiple skin conditioners that gently exfoliate and
provide soothing hydration without irritation or the richness of a normal
cream. It has been clinically shown to improve dryness, redness, and flaking
associated with eczema.
When
you need to cool down after sport or a hectic day, you can’t get any better
than Avène Thermal Spring Water spray. It’s a refreshing, soothing spritzer. Use
for facial redness, sunburn, skin irritation, nappy rash, during sport or
travel and after make-up removal, shaving and hair removal.
Finally,
don’t forget the sunscreen! Use daily, whatever the season and re-apply
regularly. The Heliocare sunscreens are classified as advanced anti-ageing
photo-immunoprotectants. You can’t go wrong with one of these.
