TIP NO. 3: TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN WITH A PEELING.

Once a week, gently exfoliate your skin to remove dead skin cells from the surface. This will give you a softer complexion and your tan will be more even and beautiful. However, be careful not to exfoliate your skin too much, or you will weaken its protective barrier. The moisture can then escape even more easily and your skin will become increasingly dry. It is best to always read the manufacturer's instructions on the label.

TIP NO. 4: USE A MOISTURIZING SERUM.

You can treat very dry skin with a moisturizing mask. We are absolute fans of the Hydrating B5 Mask by SkinCeuticals. It contains high concentrations of vitamin B5 and hyaluronic acid, an active ingredient that can retain up to 1000 times its weight in water and is suitable for all skin types.

TIP NO. 5: BECOME A MEMBER OF THE "LSF CLUB".

It is important that you protect your dry skin daily with a sunscreen and a sun protection factor of at least 30 to prevent it from drying out. As summer temperatures rise and you spend more and more time outdoors, applying sunscreen once a day is not enough to effectively protect your skin from sun damage. To protect our skin from the long-term effects of UV rays, we should apply lotion several times a day.

Moisturizing creams and face masks are ideal for keeping your skin hydrated. But we want to introduce you to another useful product that you should always have with you. Have you already tried thermal water? We have already reported about this care product several times. If you have dry skin, this product will soon become your indispensable companion.

Excessive showering damages the skin

Water refreshes after a sweaty workout or a strenuous day. Underarm wetness is not bad per se, the pH value remains in a healthy range and the moisture supply is optimized. Many believe that water from the shower helps the skin to retain its natural moisture. However, this is only partly the case.

In order to bind moisture, our largest organ needs fat, dermatologist Yael Adler told 'Spiegel Online'. But that would be washed down if you wash several times a day. Too hot, long shower sessions also dry out the skin. The water should never be warmer than body temperature so that the skin does not dry out.

Because: dry skin tightens and can tear. In the worst case, painful eczema can form.

Proper care under the shower: This is how it works

It all depends on the right skin care for the summer!

Tip 1: A short shower with body-warm water temperature is ideal. If you have very dry skin, however, even such a short daily ritual could already overstrain, so Erhard Hackler of the German skin and allergy assistance opposite on-line magazine. 

Tip 2: With very dry skin one should therefore rather do without aggressive wash soaps. These strengthen skin irritations still further. In addition pure water is sufficient for removing sweat, skin scales and dust completely, means Hackler.

Tip 3: Body regions that require increased attention, especially in the sweaty summer, are the armpits, buttocks, groin, feet and, in women, sometimes under the breasts. These body regions sometimes give off a stronger odor and can be cleaned with mild cleansing soaps.

Tip 4: Apply cream! If the skin has lost its natural greasy film due to too much washing, you can help it out yourself with body lotions. Apply the cream only to the affected areas of the skin and leave out the rest.
