Why does your skin change in summer?
How many times has it happened to you that, with the change of season, your skin has been altered and your routine no longer seems to work?
It is very common. We are just in a time of year when we spend more time outdoors, so our skin is more exposed to high temperatures, humidity, sudden changes from air conditioning, pool chlorine, salt from the beach, sweat itself, and excessive use of sunscreens. All of this completely alters the state of your skin, and therefore, it asks for changes in your routine during these hotter months.
• Drier skin sometimes needs extra nourishment, as it tends to dehydrate even more; if it is not treated properly, it can develop high sensitivity.
• Oiler skin should apply the "less is more" technique. The rise in temperatures stimulates sebum production to prevent skin dehydration; that's why you notice your skin is oilier and there is more shine. Keeping it hydrated with the right products will help you control excess sebum.
• Skin prone to dark spots, with excessive sun exposure and poor habits, can see their color intensify or even develop new spots. For this reason, I always recommend checking the post "The sun is not your enemy" and the use of antioxidants.
How can I prevent new dark spots from appearing on my skin?
• Anti-inflammatory diet and stress regulation to improve hormonal balance.
• Solar Care by Zenement: if you are very prone to dark spots, it helps prepare your skin and protect it from within thanks to polypodium, a medicinal plant already used by indigenous peoples to protect themselves from the sun due to its immunoprotective, antioxidant, and photoprotective properties, in addition to preventing photoaging.

• Physical protection, such as a parasol, hat, or cap, and toxin-free sunscreen if you deem it necessary.

Infallible well-aging tips
If you are looking for a top cream to firm the skin while you sleep, you definitely have to know NUTRITION
And if you are worried about dark spots on your skin, you will love the UNIFY serum: it works on them all summer long without being photosensitive, so you can use it day and night.
You can combine it with Novexpert's BRIGHTENING DARK SPOT MIST and their SPECIFIC DARK SPOT CORRECTING BRUSH. Neither of them is photosensitive either, so you can apply them day and night.
If you are looking for a good enzymatic exfoliant to add to your routine and work on dark spots in depth, I recommend D-PEELING
Reset Mask
You have heard me talk a lot about this mask, and it really is a must-have on my list, always, for any time of the year. But during the summer I especially recommend it, as it helps to regenerate the skin, deeply cleanse pores, and reduce their appearance, in addition to softening and improving skin texture and providing an instant "glow".
An essential in my vanity all year round.
The NOVEXPERT BB CREAMS: give your skin a touch of natural tanned color with clean and natural formulas that provide a beautiful glow (plus, they protect against blue light).
Here is a very practical tip that you surely wonder about every summer
Should I apply my skincare routine every morning before going to the beach or pool?
The answer is no. To expose ourselves to the sun, we should have clean skin, but as with everything, there are exceptions: if you have dry skin and suffer from tightness, the ideal is to apply at least your cream in the morning, ensuring that it is not photosensitive. To check this, simply read the leaflet, which will indicate if it is for nighttime use or if you should be careful with the sun. Before exposing yourself to the sun, apply your sunscreen or solar activator.
Another important tip is to remove sunscreen well when returning home, especially on oily skin and skin prone to acne; this way we will prevent clogged pores and the appearance of comedones and pimples.
Body care products to keep your skin hydrated
In the same way that we pay attention to caring for and following our daily facial routine, we must do the same for the skin on our body. It is not just an aesthetic matter for showing off radiant skin, but something vital to keep it healthy, soft, and protected.
• If your skin is very dry, I recommend the VANILLA BODY OIL
• If you have sensitive and delicate skin, you can use the MOISTURIZING BODY CREAM
• If you suffer from dermatitis or atopic skin and notice a constant sensation of irritation and itching, without a doubt the OAT BODY MILK is your perfect ally.
How can I relieve the feeling of heaviness and fluid retention in my legs?
• Applied morning and night, you will feel light as a feather. The BODY & FACIAL LOTION PLUS is very effective for cases of poor circulation, heavy legs, fluid retention, and edematous cellulite, thanks to the combination of medicinal plants that improve circulation, oxygenation, and the amount of nutrients that cells, tissues, and organs receive. In addition, it combines a deep cleansing of the body through the lymphatic system with the activation of internal and peripheral blood flow, and promotes cell regeneration.
Spray morning and night on the soles of your feet and the lymphatic area of the neck, and alternate a different lymphatic zone each day: armpits, groin, and the popliteal fossa (behind the knees).
If you want more information on how to apply it and its uses, take a look at this blog post, where I explain it in more detail.
Our favorite anti-cellulite product, due to its composition, effectiveness, and texture: SILHOUETTE Anti-Cellulite.
Hair care tips, from Adela, our expert in cosmetics and natural hair care
With this suffocating heat, the body asks us to cool off, whether at the beach or the pool. But the excess chlorine, salt, air-drying, the sun... leave our hair in a mess. Raise your hand if you finish the summer at the hair salon repairing split ends and healing your hair.
Well, if you have been one of them, keep reading, because I am leaving you several recommendations that will help you maintain healthy and strong hair.
1. Solid shampoos
Solid shampoos that, once you try them, you won't be able to stop using.
• If you have oily hair, CUBANO is my favorite: with kaolin clay, known for its purifying properties, it works effectively to absorb excess oil.
• If you have dry hair, MAMBO will deeply hydrate you thanks to coconut oil.
• If your problem is hair loss or you notice your hair is devitalized, ROSMARIN is your perfect ally: its combination of rosemary, ginger, and thyme helps to activate scalp circulation.
• If you are looking for a daily-use shampoo for the whole family, my recommendation is the DETOX SHAMPOO.
2. Hair mask
Add a good mask that helps you repair, nourish, and revitalize your hair. You can apply it 1 or 2 times a week, and if your hair is damaged, you can apply it 3 to 4 times.
One of my tips is the following: after the shower, remove excess water, apply a generous amount from mid-lengths to ends, spread it well with a brush, let it act for between 30 and 40 minutes, and rinse.
If you have curly hair, you can use a small amount of the mask with damp hair (without rinsing) to maintain hydration, prevent frizz, and keep your curls defined.
• MOISTURIZING REPAIRING HAIR MASK (suitable for curly method).
• If you have dry or frizzy hair, my favorite is the HAIR MASK WITH COCONUT OIL.
• If you are looking for a finishing product, the REVITALIZING STYLING GEL will help you define your waves with a very natural effect. Apply it from roots to ends.
3. Repairing Hair Balm
• I always recommend it: after washing with your shampoo, apply the REPAIRING HAIR BALM from mid-lengths to ends, let it act for a few minutes, and rinse with plenty of water, preferably cold. Not only will you feel your hair more hydrated, but it also reduces frizz and adds shine. Suitable for all hair types.
4. Hair oil
• Apply an oil rich in trace elements, flavonoids, and terpenes that strengthen and protect your hair. The ARGAN HAIR OIL is a repairing treatment that helps to seal split ends and damaged hair.
"Treats" to show off this summer (or any time of year)
Nail polishes
Who doesn't like showing off beautiful nails during the summer?
It is difficult not to give in to temptation, but, as I always tell you, do it wisely! No painting your nails with just any polish: many are loaded with endocrine disruptors and carcinogens. Therefore, if you are looking for polishes to accompany you during these hot months, take a look at the brand MANUCURIST, where you will find a great variety of shades to choose from, in addition to treatments for delicate nails, a cuticle repairing oil, and, of course, a 99% natural nail polish remover.
Highlighter and blush
If you like to wear makeup, whether daily (although, as you know, I do not recommend it) or just some night or at a special event, I leave you some ideas that will help you show off beautiful skin without the need to overload it, especially now that, with the heat, skin feels tired and clogged.
• You can use Lily Lolo Mineral Foundation powders to enhance your color or simply highlight your cheekbones: the well-known contouring.
If you prefer to add a touch of color, you can do it with:
• HYDRATING LIPS, with volume and a natural glow: our favorite cosmetic, which not only beautifies but also treats the lips.
• ILLUMINATING BLUSH , which will add a touch of light and shine to your skin.
• POWDER BLUSH from Lily Lolo, if your skin is oilier and doesn't tolerate creamy products well.
