SUMMERTIME… DOES YOUR SKIN LOVE THIS SEASON AS MUCH AS YOU DO?
Allow your skin to maintain a radiant complexion throughout the summer
One of the charms of our country is probably its four seasons and with the summer season one of our favorites for all its good weather and its pleasures… does our skin say the same? Honestly, the sun is not the ally of the skin. To protect itself, it generally produces more sebum, dehydrates and thickens.
Heat, sunlight and humidity can cause inflammation and redness. The skin can no longer find its rhythm to breathe well. And, what about sunscreens that can build up residue over time and cause a dull complexion.
During the summer months of June through September, we see the most rashes, dehydration, and hyperpigmentation. A purifying and hydrating routine brings relief and allows the skin to regain its natural rhythm.
When talking about cleansers, it's wise to remember this rule: Be careful with drying cleansers and treatments that could strip the natural oil that protects our skin and make it hypersensitive. The skin has a natural barrier, the epidermis, which protects against irritating invaders such as bacteria and pollution. The products used during the summer season must respect this barrier and even better, help it regenerate, as does the Black Spruce extract found in Nordora's BioVitalité and BioIntensif ranges.
Here is a 4-step summer routine that respects the balance of the skin and helps to find it during summer
Step 1: Does your makeup remover remove sunscreen?
During the day, sunscreens combine with sweat and oil to create a film on the skin that can clog pores. Cleansing your skin is essential throughout the year, but especially during the summer, in order to dislodge this film and allow our skin to breathe well. We suggest a gentle oil-based makeup remover, as oils have the ability to remove often stubborn and water-repellent sunscreens. During the summer season, it is recommended to do a second cleansing to also remove sebum and impurities. The BioPurity Gentle Cleansing Gel, which does not dry out the skin, is ideal.
BioIntensive Cleansing Oil ($37, 120ml)
With silky oil, alcohol-free, perfectly removes makeup and sunscreen while keeping the skin well hydrated. Very gentle on the eyes. Its unique formula is rich in jojoba oil and contains White Birch BioActive, for a purifying effect.
BioPurity Gentle Cleansing Gel ($26, 180ml)
Does it all: it cleanses, regulates oils and targets redness with our White Birch BioActive, Betulin and healthy ingredients.
You will love its lightly foaming texture and its delicate smell of sweet fennel.
Step 2: A purifying mist… a refreshing sensation!
For a defense of purity throughout the day, use purifying water as much as you want, which eliminates the impurities that accumulate, refreshes the skin during hot days, while neutralizing the production of sebum. This mist must be antibacterial and anti-pollution to minimize the number of bacteria and impurities that settle on the skin of the face, throughout the day. So pamper your skin and your mind with a purifying, fresh flavored effect.
BioPurity Purifying Tonic ($20, 120ml)
Whose main ingredient in this range is the White Birch. Nordora uses the Betulin molecule, a natural compound of Birch bark, a substance devoid of any allergen, whose antibacterial and antifungal power makes it an ingredient of choice to gently purify the skin and help control p. Acnes, the bacteria responsible for acne.
Step 3: Help your skin repair itself from sun damage
Once or twice a week, apply a restorative moisturizing mask to well-cleansed skin all over your face and neck. This will replenish the skin with water to rehydrate, help repair the skin barrier of the epidermis and create a beneficial soothing effect.
After the mask, your skin will appreciate a little extra attention... Why not a little lymphatic drainage massage! Focus on pressure points on the neck, forehead, temples and around the eyes to stimulate blood circulation.
BioIntensive Repair Night Mask ($60, 100ml)
Has a soft, creamy texture to form a nourishing, hydrating and regenerating veil for sun-damaged skin. Use the mask in an express formula for 20 minutes or leave it on overnight to restore damaged skin more deeply. When you wake up, your skin will be soothed, plumped, smoothed, comfortable and redness reduced. For all skin types.
Step 4: Your skin regenerates overnight!
Of all the seasons, it is during the summer that we are exposed to the external conditions the longest. It’s normal, we want to enjoy the good weather! On the other hand, the summer climate and its long hours of sunshine inflames the skin, dehydrates it and weakens its skin barrier. At night, your skin goes into repair mode. Help it with the BioProtect Night Serum, the perfect ally! Its active ingredients deeply hydrate, reduce inflammation and help replenish the protective barrier of the epidermis.
BioProtect Night Serum ($60, 30ml)
Is a real boost of hydration and an antioxidant effect thanks to its North Atlantic wild seaweed and wild blueberries extracts. At night, while you sleep, your body works to repair itself by eliminating toxins, regenerating its epidermal barrier and harmonizing its water content.
