Those who live in the Middle East really do know what HOT WEATHER is! As much water we drink, we need to hydrate our skin and pores to avoid so much moisture loss. There are just few steps needed to keep your skin hydrated, fresh, and nourished during summer season.

Before even looking into the ultimate Summer skincare routine, it’s important to start assessing what’s going on internally to reflect the external appearance:

Start by avoiding sweet, fatty, and salty foods as this will absorb all the water in your body.

A cup of lukewarm water with a slice of fresh lemon in the morning will help in detoxifying your body and skin.

Let’s remind you that water should be your best friend! It will help the body flush and eliminate all the toxins.

When it comes to skincare, it just takes a few little yet effective tweaks to be applied to your routine to make a difference as we are entering the summer season. Through the extreme weather conditions, the skin tends to lose moisture due to the lack of fluids’ absorption; for this, it’s vital to keep your skin hydrated all the time.

As a first step, daily cleansing is one of the most essential steps of any skin routine. Ensure to choose the cleanser based on your skin’s moisture level.

Then comes the moisturizer. Fortunately, VICHY got you covered! Using a moisturizer is a necessity in your skin care routine, not just in summer, but all year round.
