What is the best post-summer skin care?

Prolonged exposure to the sun, the sea, chlorine... You’ve been diligent but the summer has truly put your skin to the test! Now that you’re back from holiday, some targeted care is needed for an effective and quick result!

Dilated pores and dull complexion

You’ve been soaking up the sun all summer and now have a gorgeous tan! But exposure to UV light has made your skin thicker, your pores are dilated and imperfections may appear. It’s time to remove dead skin cells and clear out any impurity.

Widely popular with dermatologists, the AHA peel is an exfoliation technique that produces a visible new skin effect. Opt for a gentle peel to boost cell renewal. Intensive AHA products contain an optimal concentration of Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acids.

As a result, the skin’s micro-relief is smoothed, pores are tightened and the complexion is more radiant and even.

Application tips

In the evening, apply 2 to 3 pumps of Intensive AHA Peel Concentrated Serum to the face, neck and décolleté on clean and dry skin.

Start by smoothing in from the cheeks.
Continue with the forehead, chin and oval of the face.
Finish with the neck and décolleté.

Avoid the eye area and sun exposure for the duration of use.

For best results, use as a 2-month treatment.

Tip: to gradually improve the skin’s tolerance to AHAs, use the Intensive AHA Peel Gentle Serum for the first few weeks before switching to the Concentrated Serum.

Deep wrinkles and photoaging

Photoaging induced by sun exposure can lead to wrinkles. Retinol is the gold standard anti-wrinkle molecule as it accelerates epidermal renewal and stimulates collagen production.

As a result, deep wrinkles are smoothed out, the complexion is more even and the skin appears visibly younger.

Dehydration, wrinkles and fine lines

Wind, salt, chlorine and heat can sensitize and dehydrate the skin, causing discomfort as well as the appearance of dehydration lines.

Hyaluronic acid contributes to the proper hydration of the epidermis and dermis firmness. Institut Esthederm has combined three different forms of hyaluronic acid to ensure long-lasting hydration and boost natural hyaluronic acid production.

Blemishes, blackheads, rebound effect

During summer and with prolonged exposure to the sun, imperfections fade away, the skin texture appears smoother and the complexion becomes more tanned. This is due to the sun, which dries out the skin and prevents the proliferation of bacteria that cause imperfections to appear.

In the meantime, the skin produces melanin and becomes thicker for better protection. This thickening slows the elimination of dead cells and the evacuation of sebum, two factors that can clog pores and lead to blackheads appearing.

Drained by the sun, the skin can also start to produce more sebum to compensate for the lack of lipids. Increased activity in the sebaceous glands can also cause imperfections to appear: it is what we call the rebound effect!

Propolis, naturally rich with active molecules, is especially effective in preventing imperfections.

A solution with 100% natural active ingredients, it is ideally suited to deal with the issues faced by adult skin with imperfections.

To achieve velvety, smooth, soft, shine-free, pimple-free skin, Institut Esthederm has designed the Intensive Propolis+ Perfecting Cream, a dual-action treatment that effectively fights off imperfections and visible signs of aging.
