🌸 Introduction
Summer is synonymous with sun, heat, sweating... and sometimes skin imbalances : shine, dilated pores, small imperfections or dehydration.
The key to maintaining beautiful skin? Adapting your routine to the specific needs of the season.
Luckily, K-beauty is full of lightweight, refreshing, and purifying formulas that are perfect for fresh, luminous, and oil-free skin, even in the middle of summer.
Discover your special Korean summer routine , step by step 🌿
🌞 Why does skin change in summer?
Under the effect of heat, the skin produces more sebum to protect itself.
Result: shine, visible pores and sometimes spots.
But be careful: shiny skin is not necessarily well hydrated!
Between sweating, sun and swimming, she also loses a lot of water .
🎯 Goal of your summer routine:
-
Rebalance sebum
-
Moisturize without weighing down
-
Protect from the sun
-
Soothe after exposure
