What does the sun and the summer do to our skin? And 5 tips to get that beautiful pre-summer glow back as soon as possible!
HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED
Your skin has thickened because of the sun. It can feel a bit rougher and flakier and is in desperate need of exfoliation, nourishment and moisture and repair. The free radicals that are in your skin because of the UV radiation do not support your collagen and elastin fibers. The supporting tissue of our skin is reduced. Many of us have small pigment spots, little freckles, caused by UV radiation.
WHAT ELSE HAPPENED?
During summer, we have the tendency to eat a lot of raw vegetables to cool us during the hot days. We drink ice cold drinks, with extra ice in it. We eat ice creams. Most of us drink more alcohol. We tend to eat more fats, more unhealthy pleasure foods.
Our digestive system with all it’s supporting organs is really challenged during summer. Your Stomach and Spleen are put to the test. Your Liver is too. These 3 make the others suffer more. Your Large and Small Intestin have a hard time. Digestion is in TCM terms the core of your health. If it is compromised by the foods and drinks you take in, it will start to show, also in your skin, together with the UV radiation damage.
So here are our after summer tips:
