Skincare experts offer summer health advice

Experts are providing guidance on maintaining skin health during the summer months, highlighting specific environmental factors that contribute to dehydration and sensitivity.

Beatriz Muñoz, CEO of Ki Care, emphasizes that the combination of UV radiation, salt, wind, and heat requires a skincare routine focused on hydration and barrier repair. She recommends ingredients such as centella asiatica for soothing, and cacay oil or shea butter to maintain elasticity and prevent dryness. The necessary approach varies by environment: coastal areas require more nutrition to combat salt and wind, while mountainous regions require repair due to dry air and temperature fluctuations.

Dermatologist Andrea Combalia warns that common cooling habits can also impact skin health. Specifically, sleeping with a fan directed toward the face can promote skin dehydration, potentially leading to increased dryness and wrinkles.
