Sources: 20. Developments: 6. Experts and dermatologists are providing guidance on skin regeneration and care following summer exposure to UV radiation, salt water, and chlorine. Initial advice emphasizes the distinction between standard hydration and the repair of a damaged cutaneous barrier. Specialists, including pharmacist Vicente Calduch and dermatologist Dr. Isabelle Gallay, warn against using heavy moisturizing creams to treat sunburns, noting that while ingredients like glycerin help prevent water loss, they are not formulated to repair UV-induced damage. In response to these needs, laboratories such as Ciel d’Azur Labs have released organic certified products containing aloe vera and botanical oils to soothe heat and revitalize hair. Subsequent guidance focuses on rebuilding the skin’s hydrolipid barrier to combat dehydration and reactivity. Recommended ingredients for restoration include hyaluronic acid, ceramides, squalane, and D-panthenol. While the transition to autumn may allow for the reintroduction of retinoids and exfoliating acids, experts stress that the skin must first be properly hydrated and calm, and that daily photoprotection remains necessary. Recent recommendations expand this focus to include specific concerns regarding pigmentation, increased sensitivity, and the management of foot care. To address summer-related issues such as cracked heels and potential fungal infections, experts suggest using urea-based creams and maintaining strict hygiene. For facial care, the priority remains restoring the protective layer through deep hydration before attempting to address discoloration or texture through intensive exfoliation. As the season transitions, experts Lara Pérez and Dr. Alexandra Murillo advise against a complete overhaul of skincare routines, suggesting instead a gradual adjustment based on the skin's current condition. While heavier moisturizers containing lipids may be required, lightweight essentials like niacinamide can remain effective. Observations note that while sea water and UV rays may offer temporary benefits, returning to urban environments often reveals imperfections once the tan fades. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-14: Skin care strategies for post-summer skin regeneration Post-summer skin often faces dehydration, sensitivity, and clogged pores due to UV exposure and sweat.
