Summer is a time to enjoy the sun, the beach, the pool and outdoor plans. However, it can also become a complicated period for our skin. Prolonged exposure to the sun, heat, humidity or even some habits of this season favor the appearance of certain skin alterations that should be taken into account. <\/p>\n\n
At TUDERMA we explain what are the most frequent problems we see in the office during the summer months, and how you can avoid them or treat them effectively.<\/p>\n\n
During the summer, one of the most common risks is sunburn<\/strong>. Beyond redness and momentary discomfort, excessive exposure to the sun can cause cumulative damage that accelerates skin aging, favors the appearance of spots and increases the risk of skin cancer. Using sun protection daily, avoiding the central hours of the day and complementing it with appropriate clothing and accessories such as hats or sunglasses is key to preventing it. <\/p>\n\n Another common problem is summer acne<\/strong>. Although at first the sun seems to improve the outbreaks, many times the skin reacts by producing more oil, which ends up generating new pimples. This is especially common in people with oily or acne-prone skin. The recommendation is to maintain a gentle cleansing routine, use non-comedogenic photoprotectors and avoid overly occlusive products. <\/p>\n\n Skin blemishes <\/strong>also intensify at this time of year. Melasma and other hyperpigmentation can darken even with proper sun protection. That is why it is important to be consistent with photoprotector and, once the summer is over, to consider mild depigmenting treatments or techniques that help to even out the tone. <\/p>\n\n Skin with rosacea <\/strong>or a tendency to sensitivity is often worse with heat and temperature changes. It is also common for some precancerous lesions, such as actinic keratoses<\/strong>, to become more visible or to appear after intense sun exposure. It is advisable to go for a dermatological check-up for any skin blemish or change that raises doubts. <\/p>\n\n In addition, factors such as chlorine, sea salt or dehydration <\/strong>contribute to skin loss of radiance and elasticity. Upon returning from summer, many people notice that their skin is duller, tighter or unevenly textured. In these cases, the ideal is to recover a routine that includes gentle cleansing, intensive moisturizing, antioxidants and active ingredients that promote cell renewal, always adapted to the needs of each skin. <\/p>\n\n It is also common that in summer reactions due to contact<\/strong> with certain substances increase. Perfumes, cosmetics, plants, citrus foods or even some medications can cause irritation or stains if they coincide with sun exposure. At any sign of redness, itching or stinging, it is advisable to stop using the product and consult a physician. <\/p>\n\n Another frequent reason for consultation in summer are reactions to insect bites<\/strong>. Mosquitoes, jellyfish, wasps or other insects typical of this season can cause from mild discomfort to more intense allergic reactions, especially in sensitive skin or in people with a history of allergies. Stings usually cause redness, itching, localized inflammation and even small blisters. In some cases, they can lead to infections if scratched or handled excessively. To prevent them, it is important to apply suitable repellents, cover the skin in areas at risk and avoid sweet perfumes or products that may attract insects. <\/p>\n\n Finally, it is not all bad news: some inflammatory skin diseases, such as psoriasis<\/strong>, tend to improve during the summer thanks to controlled exposure to the sun, humidity and salt water. However, always use caution and maintain photoprotection. <\/p>\n\n Summer can be an excellent opportunity to disconnect… and also to observe how your skin responds in a different environment.
