How to keep your skin glowing after summer: key steps for a radiant complexion come September

Summer is the season when our skin is at its happiest. Days spent sunbathing, swimming in the sea or enjoying a gentle evening breeze often leave us with a tanned, glowing complexion. However, sun exposure can also damage our skin, with effects that can show up as rashes, spots and an uneven skin texture. To keep your skin radiant after summer, it is important to adopt a suitable skincare routine. This is where our Belweder face serums and a well-defined post-sun beauty routine come in. 

1. Cleanse gently

We can’t say it often enough, but a good cleanse and make-up removal is the first step in keeping your skin healthy after summer. Choose a gentle cleanser that removes impurities without drying out your skin. Clean skin is the best starting point for applying your serum and moisturiser. 

2. Exfoliate for radiant skin

Gentle exfoliation is crucial for removing the dead skin cells that build up on the surface of your skin over the summer. It reveals younger, more radiant skin while preparing it to receive the treatments that follow. At Belweder, we advise against abrasive scrubs, but recommend using the Balancing Serum with Mandelic Acid every day, which acts as a gentle scrub over time. 

3. Prepare your skin to receive the different treatments by using suitable serums 

Once your skin is clean and exfoliated, choose the serum that suits you best from the Belweder range. Our serums contain nourishing, purifying and regenerating ingredients that help repair sun damage and moisturise your skin deeply. Their lightweight formulas absorb quickly without leaving a greasy residue on your skin. By applying your Belweder serum regularly, you can improve the look of your skin and help prevent breakouts. 

4. Moisturise deeply

Good hydration is the key to keeping skin healthy and radiant. After applying your Belweder serum, apply a moisturiser made with natural ingredients. Not only will this seal in the moisture, it will also help repair the skin barrier and prevent dehydration. 

Getting ready for the September return to routine means rethinking your daily skincare routine. Do you know the two flagship products in our face range? The express moisturising serum and the antioxidant serum are both worth adopting without hesitation to protect your complexion and restore its radiance after a summer spent in the sun. The express moisturising serum with hyaluronic acid is a fast, intense answer to dehydration, leaving skin soft and plump, ready to face the challenges of city life (air conditioning, pollution…). It helps maintain your skin’s natural hydration, protecting it from external aggressors. To complement it, the antioxidant serum with vitamins B3, C and E is the perfect shield against the free radicals responsible for skin ageing. Its role is to help prevent and minimise the signs of ageing while revitalising the skin for a healthy, youthful glow. Together, these two serums make a powerful combination, helping your skin recover from the effects of summer and get ready for the months ahead.  

5. Protect your skin

Even after summer, it is important to keep protecting your skin from UV rays. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day to protect your skin from sun damage and prevent premature ageing. 

In addition to these steps, adopt a healthy lifestyle to help your skin stay radiant. Drinking plenty of water, eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly and getting enough sleep can all help improve the appearance of your skin and prevent breakouts. 

By building these steps into your post-summer skincare routine, you will prevent breakouts and can be sure of a radiant complexion come September.
