Summer Skincare: hydrate to protect

Summer is here, and with it comes the joy of sunny days, beach trips, and outdoor activities. In these times it’s crucial to remember the impact sun can have on our skin. The increased heat and sun exposure can lead to skin dehydration and potential sun damage. This is why hydration and sun protection become even more important during this season.

The role of skin hydration in sun protection

Did you know that sunscreens, applied on the skin, can be more or less effective depending on the skin characteristics and its level of hydration?

Skin components and its morphology (such as the size of its cells) play a role in sun protection, and it has been scientifically demonstrated that the skin hydration can change these properties. Our skin is made up of about 64% water. This water content plays a vital role in the health and function of our skin, contributing to its elasticity, plumpness, and resilience. Dehydrated skin can disrupt the skin’s natural barrier function, making it more susceptible to irritants, allergens, and bacteria and making sun protection filters less effective. Scientific studies conducted by Society of Cosmetic Scientists and the Société Française de Cosmétologie showed that hydrated stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin) protects more against the UV. So, keep your skin hydrated first and foremost anything else!
