May you be at the seaside or in the mountains, there are some products that you really can't leave at home!

1. Your sunscreen

It is absolutely forbidden to leave without one excellent sun protection, specifically indicated for your phototype.

Is it true that you need to apply sunscreen?

There is no more certain answer than this: applying sunscreen is not optional, it is absolutely essential! A good sunscreen protects the skin from UV rays and defends against damage caused by sun exposure.

What are the effects of the sun on the skin?

Unprotected exposure to UV rays leads to a premature skin aging, defined as photoaging (photo aging). It causes many skin blemishes:

• wrinkle formation
• pigmentation irregularities
• stain formation
• yellowish colour
• dry and rough skin texture

Applying a good sunscreen helps protect from the aggression of UV rays.

How does he do it? With theuse of sunscreens, or molecules which, thanks to their opacity, offer a real screen to UV radiation. The sun filters contained within the sunscreens selectively shield the sun's rays, avoiding exposing the skin to the most harmful ones.

So you not only get tanned, but you get the good part of the sun.

2. Your face cream

The skincare routine does not just mean removing make up and cleansing the face. Carrying out a correct beauty routine is essential from a young age to preserve our skin from external agents and pollutants, which favor premature aging.

As well as getting a looking radiant and fresh, represents an opportunity to treat yourself to a little pampering every day.

So even on holiday we must never forget to apply our favorite face cream, both evening and morning.

The best cream for summer?

1. Choose some lighter textures, which can nourish the skin without weighing it down.
2. Prefer moisturizing and antioxidant creams in order to nourish the skin as much as possible even during the hottest climates.

3. The eye contour

On holiday, because of long exposures to the sun, the area around the eyes is constantly put to the test.

What is meant by eye contour?

By eye contour we mean the orbicularis area around the eyes. Given the particular shape, this area is particularly victim of the skin aging process. For what reason?

• It's a very subtle area
• It has a lower amount of collagen
• It presents slow blood and lymphatic circulation
• It has a decidedly smaller amount of subcutaneous adipose tissue

We understand well how long exposure to the sun can easily lead to numerous damages from photo aging, such as the formation of expression lines and dryness.

This is why a good eye contour definitely appears among the 4 products to never forget on holiday.

What is the ideal eye contour?

It depends on your skin type and your age. In general, light formulations are recommended, ideal for treating such a thin area. You can choose one cream, fluid or serous formulation and identify the best active ingredients for your goals (for example hyaluronic acid to hydrate, or niacinamide to fight dark circles..) The important thing is to never forget the importance of feed this area constantly throughout the holiday.

Your gaze will thank you.

4. A good after-sun
