Understand what Skin Flooding is

It's a fact: dehydrated skin shows signs of aging much earlier than healthy ones. For this reason, thanks to the assistance of this technique (skin flooding), the skin tends to be more preserved and with collagen production on track.

Skin flooding involves creating layers of moisturizing products on the face. These include creams, lotions, oils, serums, and other items applied one after the other.

Of course, there is a correct order and way to do this. See below for the step-by-step:

1. First of all, cleanse the skin with a gentle liquid soap suitable for skincare (we recommend options with cleansing oil);
2. Don't dry your entire face! Here, it's essential that it's damp;
3. Now, apply the serum first (if preferred, it can also be replaced with a hydrating gel);
4. Lastly, apply the emollient moisturizer and spread it well over the entire skin.

The hydration delivered by skin flooding strengthens the skin's cutaneous barrier (responsible for protecting the inner part of the cellular tissue). As a result, the face avoids water loss and remains free from external factors present in the environment, such as pollution.

** How to protect your skin from photoaging?

Photoaging is a natural aging process of the skin that occurs due to excessive exposure to sunlight and other environmental factors, such as pollution and smoking.

This prolonged and repeated exposure to the sun can lead to severe damage to the skin, resulting in issues that, if left untreated, can be irreversible. Just imagine! Because of this, it's essential to take special care of your skin in the summer.

** How to protect your skin from photoaging?

1. Cleansing: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type. It's always important to start by removing impurities, pollution, and makeup residue.

2. Toning: Use a facial toner to restore your skin's pH and prepare it for the application of other products such as masks and moisturizers.

3. Moisturizing: Apply your favorite moisturizer by gently massaging it in, and take the opportunity to embrace your individuality.

4. Sunscreen: the ultimate protection against photoaging

The use of sunscreen is crucial to prevent photoaging. If you don't have your favorite yet, choose a sunscreen suitable for your skin type and tone with a minimum SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of 30.

Apply it generously to all areas of the skin exposed to the sun, including the face, neck, arms, legs, and ears — we often forget about the ears. Remember to reapply sunscreen regularly, as well as after swimming or engaging in intense physical activities.

"Indeed, air conditioning dries out the skin."

Air conditioning units work by removing moisture from the air and circulating cold air. This mechanism is precisely what causes dryness, not only to the skin but also to the throat and hair. It's no wonder that prolonged exposure to air conditioning can leave our lips, eyes, and certain parts of the face feeling drier.
