Post-summer beauty: Skin and hair rehabilitation tips

Post-summer beauty maintenance focuses on repairing skin and hair damage caused by UV radiation, salt water, and chlorine.

To address a weakened skin barrier, experts suggest a skin rehabilitation approach. This involves moving away from harsh acids and exfoliants to focus on restoring the skin's natural lipids—such as ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids—which act as a protective shield against moisture loss and irritants.

For hair care, maintaining length and health involves scalp massage to improve microcirculation, careful detangling to prevent breakage, and avoiding excessive washing to preserve natural oils. Using wide-tooth combs on wet hair and avoiding tight hairstyles can further reduce stress on the hair and roots.
