At the end of summer, it's common to notice changes in the appearance and health of your skin. Your skin may look drier, and have deeper wrinkles. Dark spots may also appear. This shows the effects of sun exposure and other environmental factors.

Sun, heat, sea water and swimming pools can all damage the skin. In addition, changes in personal care can also cause problems. Summer is good for well-being, but the skin suffers if it is not properly cared for. It is important to take precautions to protect it.

Summer is a wonderful time to enjoy the sun, the beach and outdoor activities. However, these summer pleasures can take a toll on our skin, especially on the face. Prolonged exposure to the sun , chlorine in swimming pools and salt water in the sea can cause a variety of skin problems.

That's why, at the end of summer, it's common to notice changes in the appearance and health of your skin. The skin may appear drier , with more pronounced wrinkles and the appearance of dark spots , reflecting the cumulative effects of sun exposure and other environmental factors.

These problems, although common, should not be underestimated , as they not only affect aesthetics, but can also have long-term implications for skin health.

Fortunately, natural cosmetics offer effective solutions that are respectful of our skin and the environment. In this post, we will explore the three most common problems that appear on the skin of the face after summer and how we can treat them naturally.

DEHYDRATION

During the summer, the skin is exposed to high temperatures, which increases water loss through perspiration. In addition, prolonged exposure to the sun and chlorine in swimming pools can deteriorate the skin's natural protective barrier , known as the lipid barrier . This causes the skin to lose more water than usual, resulting in dehydration .

It's not just a matter of feeling dry. When skin is dehydrated, it can appear rougher , tighter, and duller . Pores can become more visible, and there may be flaking . Plus, dehydration can make wrinkles and fine lines more noticeable, as skin loses its elasticity and ability to retain moisture.

If dehydration is not combated, the skin's barrier function can be weakened, making it more susceptible to infections , irritations and additional damage from environmental factors. In addition, dehydrated skin can accelerate the aging process, contributing to the appearance of wrinkles .

How to combat it? OhMyKoko's ultra-hydrating microbiome-boosting serum based on hyaluronic acid is able to restore and give back to your skin the lost hydration from the first application.

If you have oily skin, OhMyKoko's sebum-regulating serum , based on niacinamide and lotus extracts , is what your skin needs. It will deeply hydrate your skin while regulating excess sebum, combating those annoying shines.

SUNSPOTS

These skin spots, also known as solar lentigines or age spots, are areas of hyperpigmentation caused by sun exposure . UV rays stimulate the production of melanin , the pigment that gives skin its color. When the skin is overexposed to the sun, melanin production becomes irregular, resulting in dark spots on exposed areas such as the face, hands, shoulders, and arms.

They are generally harmless, but can be aesthetically undesirable . They can vary in size and appear on any part of the body that has been exposed to the sun. These spots can give the skin an uneven appearance, making it look older than it really is.

If left unprotected and untreated, sun spots can increase in number and darken over time. Although they are usually benign, in some cases they can be precursors to precancerous lesions, so it is important to watch for any changes in their appearance.

To prevent these problems, it is essential to use sunscreen daily , even after summer, moisturize the skin with appropriate products, and avoid excessive exposure to the sun.

In addition, the use of natural sunscreen is essential to prevent future spots. We recommend the It's vitamin C serum from OhMyKoko. It contains highly stable vitamin C and astaxanthin , a combination of two very powerful antioxidants with proven efficacy in lightening sun spots.

PHOTOAGING WRINKLES

Photoaging is the premature aging of the skin caused by repeated and prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. UV rays damage the collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, which are responsible for maintaining its firmness and elasticity. When these fibers are damaged, the skin begins to lose its structure and firmness, leading to the formation of wrinkles .

Wrinkles from photoaging are different from normal wrinkles in that they tend to be deeper and more visible . In addition to wrinkles, photoaging can cause changes in the texture of the skin , making it look thicker or thinner in some areas, and can lead to a loss of tone and firmness. The skin may also become more fragile and susceptible to bruising and damage.

Damage caused by sun exposure is cumulative , meaning that over time, even moderate but repeated sun exposure can cause noticeable aging . This not only affects appearance, but also increases the risk of developing certain types of skin cancer.

Wrinkles caused by photoaging can be improved with the use of bakuchiol , which stimulates collagen production . This active ingredient is also known as vegan retinol because it has similar properties to retinol, but without its unwanted effects. You will find it in OhMykoko's All in One cream .

If you have dry skin, don't hesitate! Your skin needs extra nutrition like that provided by The Cream , OhMyKoko's cream based on peptides, ceramides and avocado oil.
