Gel creams for summer

For the vast majority of us, summer is a wonderful time when you are most likely to go to the sea or at least to the pool, the time when you go out more often with friends and have more fun.

At the same time, summer is also the time when our skin suffers. Well, in addition to the enormous dehydration from the intense sun, the skin also faces a greater amount of pollutants due to more time outside. In order to keep the skin in the best possible condition, but also because you want your make-up to look splendid in the summer, both the SPF (which must be applied) and the choice of a cream suitable for this period are important. What should we consider first of all when choosing a cream during the summer?

A non-greasy texture that lets the skin breathe

High summer temperatures combined with increased humidity levels make our skin sweat more easily. By choosing a face cream with a light and non-greasy texture that absorbs immediately, we help our skin to breathe and not suffocate with the scorching summer temperatures. An additional reason to choose a light texture and composition is the fact that after the moisturizer or anti-aging cream we will apply the sunscreen, so the need for "thin absorbent layers" is even more imperative.

Of course, if we have oily skin, prone to acne, we choose only creams with a non-comedogenic composition in the summer as well as the rest of the year.

And if you have dry skin and worry that a thinner texture will not be enough for you, it is recommended to use night masks for extra hydration. Night masks also known as Sleeping Pack are intense non-greasy and non-sticky moisturizers

Antioxidant action because the sun equals free radicals on the rise

A formula that does not trigger sensitive skin

Although you may not have sensitive skin or have slightly sensitive skin, our recommendation would be to opt for a cream suitable for sensitive skin in summer. The sun is a very strong irritant for the skin so that even normal skin becomes sensitized during this period.
