If you’ve overdone the sun this summer and it’s taken a toll on your skin, there are some simple steps you can take to repair the damage and create a healthier, dewier complexion, says GENEU scientist, Fatemeh Mahbubinejad
1.To give your skin the best chance of repairing from the sun’s UV rays, it’s important to look to your diet. By eating a rainbow of fruit and vegetables to increase your intake of antioxidants, you can help speed up your skin’s natural repair mechanisms.
2. As the upper layer of skin gets thicker, harder and drier, exfoliating your facial skin is key after a summer of sun and sunscreen to remove dead cells and give a dewier look. It also helps produce more collagen.
3. Maximise your skincare by choosing serums with the optimised amount of antioxidants your skin needs. At GENEU, we look at your genetic antioxidant protection alongside your lifestyle to give your skin exactly what it needs to recover from summer.
4. Drink lots of water. This is essential to hydrate your skin and body. Herbal, green and black teas are full of antioxidants which will help your skin to recover from the damaging effects of the sun.
5. Use a moisturiser or products with some active ingredients to help sunspots from sunbathing to diminish. Our collagen serums contain ingredients such as vitamins C and A to help sunspots gradually fade.
6. Cleanse your skin morning and evening to rinse off excessive free radicals, which are caused by UV exposure. This will allow your skin to breathe and feel smoother, and get rid of impurities such as pollution, dust and sweat. Use a mild PH-balanced cleanser to avoid dryness and irritation and give your skin a clean, fresh look.
