Summer is the season we look forward to the most. And how could we not? Long, sunny and warm days, sea, beach and pool, cocktails and parties with friends long into the night...

However, while you're enjoying the warm days, it's important not to forget one key aspect: facial skin care. The summer months can bring their own challenges for the skin, which is why it's especially important to take proper care of it.

From sun protection to hydration and proper cleansing, maintaining healthy and glowing facial skin during the summer also means adjusting your daily care routine.

If you want to maintain the quality of your skin barrier this summer and enjoy a smooth and full complexion - keep reading!

Why is it especially important to adjust your facial skin care routine in the summer?

In the summer, it's important to adjust your facial skin care routine because the conditions that the summer months bring are significantly different from the rest of the year. For starters, a major risk to the skin is damage caused by exposure to UV radiation, and in the summer the UV index is at its highest.

This not only causes damage that can cause skin cancer, but also premature aging, the creation of hyperpigmentation, dehydration, and worsening of acne.

We also sweat more, due to high temperatures and humidity. Sweat, along with dirt accumulated during the day from the environment, can clog pores, increase sebum secretion, and stimulate the formation of pimples and comedones.

Equally, by settling in the pores, it can lead to poorer penetration of ingredients into the skin, leading to dehydration.

Loss of skin moisture causes additional dryness, flaking, and rough texture to the skin, while also reducing its natural glow, leading to sensitivity, and can cause pimples.

Dehydration is sometimes difficult to avoid, but as the most common summer problem – it's easy to work around!

Summer often brings changes to our activities and environments. We may be spending more time outdoors, exposing ourselves to chlorine in swimming pools or salt water at the beach.

All of these changes can affect facial skin and require customized care to keep it healthy and protected.

What are the most common summer facial skin problems?

• Sunburn - Intense sunlight can cause sunburn on the skin of the face. It manifests itself as redness, peeling of the skin and general sensitivity. Sunburn can be very uncomfortable, sometimes accompanied by blisters, and should be treated properly. Also, permanent cell damage is inevitable.
• Dehydration - Warmer conditions can cause the skin to lose moisture, resulting in dehydration. This can cause dryness, flaking, sensitivity, and dull skin.
• Increased sebum secretion – High temperature and humidity can stimulate increased sebum secretion, which quickly leads to clogged pores, pimples, and acne.
• Hyperpigmentation – Sun exposure can increase the risk of hyperpigmentation, or the appearance of dark spots on the skin. At the same time, people with acne are more prone to developing procedural erythema.
• Skin microbiome imbalance - Humidity and sweating during the summer can create a favorable environment for the development of bacterial or fungal skin infections, such as folliculitis or yeast infections.

To that extent, if we want to maintain the quality of the skin barrier, it is extremely important in the summer to fill our cosmetic bag with products that will cleanse the face of excess oil, deeply hydrate, but also refresh, soothe and strengthen the skin barrier.

Then even the biggest skin problem will be very easy to solve!

Purifying cleanser

This gentle yet powerful cleanser combines the purifying power of the Adriatic Sea and the gentle effectiveness of clinically proven ingredients in the best cleansing gel for oily and combination skin.

It will maintain the quality of the skin barrier, but will also thoroughly cleanse the pores.

Fermented sea minerals help protect the balance of the skin's delicate microbiome, while purifying and revitalizing it.

BHA acids penetrate deep into pores and remove existing and prevent new irregularities, while PHA acids perform gentle exfoliation, giving the skin freshness and a healthy glow.

Already after the first use of L'ADRIA Purifying cleanser, you will notice:

• Clean pores
• Smoother skin texture
• Healthy skin glow

This cleanser will suit all skin types during the summer, as we inevitably sweat more then - and sweat, mixed with sunscreen and dirt - needs to be cleansed very well from the skin to avoid acne.

Instant revitalizing serum

L'ADRIA Instant revitalizing serum, a serum for instant revitalization for all skin types, reveals the secret to ultra-hydrated and youthful skin.

This serum provides an incredibly intense hydration effect that penetrates deep into the skin and instantly reduces the visibility of wrinkles, providing new vitality from the depths of the sea!

The Instant Revitalization Serum works on the principle of so-called "osmolytic strategies." This means that it supplies the skin with osmolytes, a type of moisturizer that works not only on the principle of binding moisture to the surface layers of the skin, but also acts intracellularly.

Osmolytes are very common in seaweeds because they must necessarily make extra efforts to maintain the hydration status of cells in high salinity conditions.

By utilizing these smart cellular moisturizers, as well as marine collagen and a hyaluronic acid complex, the product provides a superior hydrating effect without the sticky feeling common with simpler hyaluronic serums.

Already after the first use of L'ADRIA Purifying cleanser, you will notice:

• Firm skin appearance
• Reasonable hydration
• Excellent skin appearance

A hydrating serum is a must-have step in your daily and evening skincare routine during the summer, as it will be the first to make a difference in the amount of moisture in your skin!

Eye patches

Through a relaxing marine ritual, L'ADRIA Eye Patches reveal the secret to the vitality of the eye area. The biodegradable gel eye pads based on algae gel are soaked in a hydrating revitalizing serum that soothes, provides a rested look, reduces puffiness and provides a lifting effect.

By applying serum-soaked seaweed pads to the skin under the eyes, the active ingredients from the serum penetrate deeper into the skin and provide a deep hydrating effect, reducing swelling, reducing dark spots, soothing, revitalizing, and lifting.

One of the secret ingredients of this product is trehalose, a sugar found - among other things - in algae.

It reduces cell damage due to dehydration, soothes sensitive skin, reduces the harmful effects of UV radiation without having the effect of a UV filter, and stimulates collagen synthesis.

By combining valuable trehalose with niacinamide to reduce wrinkles and dark spots, caffeine to reduce puffiness, and hyaluronic acid for hydration and an instant lifting effect, with the addition of soothing oat and licorice extracts, a comprehensive revitalizing serum for the eye area has been created.

Already after the first use of L'ADRIA Eye Patches, you will notice:

• Smoothed dehydration lines
• Feeling refreshed
• Sleepy appearance of the area around the eyes

In addition to instantly soothing your skin after sun exposure, Eye Patches will also help you on those mornings when you haven't had enough sleep - because the night before at the party was just too good!

If you had to choose just one product to include in your skincare routine, let it be this one!

L'ADRIA Restorative Mist creates a network of moisturizing and restorative ingredients on the skin that prevent moisture loss, intensely hydrate and restore the skin's hydrolipidic barrier. So, literally everything you need in summer!

We have placed the essence of the reticulum in the Restorative mist, so that like a net it captures and retains skin hydration in the adverse conditions that our skin is exposed to on a daily basis.

Niacinamide and a complex of marine-derived moisturizing ingredients are added to the formula to enhance its effect. Moisturizing ingredients soaked in a lightweight base of olive squalane and olive leaf extract capture moisture like a net and retain it in the skin.

This fine milky mist is extremely refreshing, quickly absorbed and non-sticky, and the skin is nourished and renewed, velvety soft and protected.

Also, the extremely small mist droplets blend with the skin and makeup, without disrupting the texture of powder and SPF products.

At the same time, they act as an emulsion in a spray, bringing the necessary moisture and care to the skin, reducing the visibility of dry areas of the skin and extending the durability of powder and pressed powder.
