How to restore your skin once summer is over: peeling and deep hydration

Prolonged exposure to UV rays, the chlorine in swimming pools and the salt in sea water can cause real damage, leaving the skin dry, dehydrated and lacking its normal even texture. That’s why professionals in the beauty sector need to offer post-summer treatments that help restore and revitalise their clients' skin. In this article, we take a look at the importance of peelings and intensive hydration in skin recovery, and how Telic Beauty & Wellness products can be an essential ally in this process.

The importance of post-summer skin care

The skin, the largest organ in the body, acts as a protective barrier against external elements. During the summer, several factors can damage this barrier:

1. Sun exposure: UV rays can cause the skin to burn and accelerate skin ageing. Excessive sun exposure also dehydrates the skin and leads to a loss of collagen and elastin, with the result being more wrinkles and dark spots.
2. Chlorine and salt water: both of these can strip the skin of its natural oils, leaving it feeling dry and tight. This can make the skin feel rough and more sensitive.
3. Dehydration: heat and sun exposure increase water loss from the skin, which can lead to deep-down dehydration, causing flaking and a dull appearance.

It is essential to restore the skin barrier and rehydrate the skin to keep it healthy and looking good. This is where peelings and intensive hydration treatments come into play.

How to restore and protect the skin

1. Peelings: renew and regenerate

Peelings are exfoliating treatments that help remove dead cells from the skin surface, promoting more cell renewal and improving texture and tone. After the summer, peelings are especially beneficial because:

- They remove dead cells

- They even out skin tone

- They stimulate collagen production

At Telic Beauty & Wellness, we have products to encourage cell renewal on the body, such as the Dr Kraut gel scrub with natural microgranules and glycolic acid and the Dr Kraut sea salt scrub and thyme essential oil, and also for cell renewal on the face, such as the gentle gel scrub with natural microgranules.

2. Intensive moisturising

Hydration is a vital step after a peeling, as it is essential to restore the skin barrier, soothe the skin and improve the absorption of nutrients, providing the best possible recovery and long-lasting results. Its benefits include:

- Skin barrier repair

- Improved elasticity

- Relief from sensitivity

At Telic Beauty & Wellness, we have products for intensive body hydration such as the Uman hydrating emulsion and the Uman aloe vera and rosehip moisturising cream, and also for facial hydration such as the Dr Kraut intensive hydrating cream with hyaluronic acid and marine collagen and the Dr Kraut hydrating gel mask with marine collagen and red algae.

Once summer is over, skin care becomes essential in restoring the health of your clients' skin. Peeling treatments and intensive hydration are keyways to achieve these goals. Making these treatments part of the post-summer routine will ensure radiant, hydrated and rejuvenated skin, ready to tackle the new season with a fresh and healthy appearance.
