Exfoliation in summeris not a taboo!

Why gentle exfoliation is particularly useful in summer

Summertime is sunshine time – and also the season for many skin care misconceptions. One of the biggest misconceptions: “Don’t exfoliate in summer!”

A phrase that persists – and regularly ensures that skin potential remains untapped. Because anyone who really understands skin knows:
Skin needs help letting go, even in summer.

The skin protects itself in the warm season with a natural reaction: it thickens its skin layer – an effect known as light callus.

However, what is intended as protection quickly becomes a barrier: Active ingredients penetrate more poorly, the skin’s appearance looks uneven, underlays can develop – and even a natural tan often appears blotchy and dull.

Controlled, regular exfoliation is therefore a decisive key, especially for pigmentation disorders, fine lines or blemished skin. With the right amount, the skin’s surface is smoothed, the absorption of active ingredients is improved – and the complexion appears fresher, clearer and more even.

Knowledge that makes all the difference: the 4 rules for summer exfoliation

1. the right product selection

If you are exposed to intense UV radiation over the next few days, you should use mild but highly effective acids.
Our recommendation:
• AHA: Re-action natural/deep 10 %
• ENZYME: Re-action E
• PHA: Re-action Control
These variants have a gentle regulating effect and improve the skin structure – without provoking irritation.

2. The peeling evening at home

A brief moment is often enough for a lasting care effect – at the right time.
Less sensitive skin types:
Once a week AHA in the evening Re-action natural or Re-action deep – ideal for deeper renewal.
Sensitive or reactive skin types:
Re-action E or Re-action control 1-2 times a week, particularly gentle on the skin and non-irritating.
The advantage: the skin can regenerate overnight without being exposed to additional UV radiation.


3. UV protection - consistent & comprehensive

After exfoliation, protection is not an add-on, but a must. Broad-spectrum protection that filters out both UVA and UVB rays is important.
Optimal:
– Re-charge sun
– Re-flect
Both offer effective protection of around 97% – and moisturize the skin at the same time.

4. More intensive treatments with vision

Dermabrasion or stronger doses of fruit acids can also be carried out in summer – provided they are followed by a deliberate phase of retreat in the shade. And this is where the misunderstanding arose in the 1990s, because all “ablative” treatments were simply lumped together.

Planning and communication with the client/cosmetician are essential here to avoid mistakes and unwanted reactions.
