Summer travel destinations and seasonal skincare advice

Travel recommendations for summer highlight destinations that offer authentic experiences away from mass tourism. Suggested locations include the Azores in Portugal, known for its volcanic craters and whale watching; the Lofoten Islands in Norway, which offer the Midnight Sun and dramatic mountain landscapes; and Bali, Indonesia, which experiences its dry season during the summer months, making it ideal for visiting temples and rice paddies.

Regarding seasonal transitions, skincare expert Elvira Peral advises adapting routines as summer ends. She notes that sun, chlorine, and salt can leave skin dry or sensitive. To recover skin health during the transition to autumn, Peral recommends moving from light textures to more emollient, nourishing formulas, such as denser creams, balms, and reparative serums, while continuing to protect the skin barrier.
