4 Steps – Prepare Your Skin For Those Sunny Days

Posted on by Kim Green

With the approach of summer, now is the perfect time to prepare your skin to fully enjoy the benefits of the sun safely. Follow these 4 steps to reveal a radiant healthy appearance.

STEP 1 : EXFOLIATE

Do you know what is the common point between small irregularities on the surface of the skin and an uneven tan? It’s lack of exfoliation. To ensure a beautiful uniform and durable golden complexion, get rid of dead cells that have accumulated on the skin’s surface with Nelly De Vuyst® Exfoliants.

  • FACE: opt for the Keratolyse professional salon treatment. An exclusive 1 treatment vegetal peeling that will instantly reduce visible wrinkles and irregularities related to the accumulation of dead cells and that will optimize the penetration of all your skin care products. Maintain the results at home with the Nelly De Vuyst® 3 Minute Gommage.
  • BODY: choose to use the Nelly De Vuyst® Body Exfoliant Dead Sea Salt in your institute or at home. A gentle exfoliant, relaxing and refined that will envelop your body in a silky smooth veil for an incomparable softness.

STEP 2: PROTECT

“Enjoy the sun safely” means “protect yourself well.”

  • Choose the Nelly De Vuyst® SPF 30 Mineral for optimal protection against UVA, UVB and free radicals. Reapply the sunscreen every hour and after swimming. This emulsion contains no oil and it is ideal for oily skin. Limit your sun exposure as much as possible between 11 am and 4 pm.
  • Fill up on antioxidants. They represent the first natural defense that your skin possesses to neutralize the action of free radicals linked to UV rays.
    • Choose foods rich in antioxidants such as fresh fruits and vegetables and/or consume antioxidant supplements (vitamin C, alpha lipoic acid, beta carotene etc.).
    • Apply the Nelly De Vuyst® VitaLift-C HA Serum rich in brightening and energizing vitamin C liposomes and hyaluronic acid that enhances the natural antioxidant defenses of the skin for a radiant complexion glowing with vitality and instant smoothing effect.

STEP 3 : HYDRATE

A healthy skin is primarily a skin that is well hydrated. But with the summer heat and damages related to UV rays, the skin tends to dry out and become dehydrated. Restore the full hydration of your skin by drinking a minimum of 1.5L of water daily and using a Nelly De Vuyst® moisturizer designed according to the needs of your skin.

  • FACE: if you have dry skin, opt for the Nelly De Vuyst® Dry Skin Cream rich in essential repairing fatty acids and natural hydration factor (NMF). If you have normal to oily skin, use the Nelly De Vuyst® Hydrocell Plus Cream rich in lipo-peptides and hyaluronic acid which capture water molecules.
  • BODY: use the NDV Body Lotion as an after sun care treatment. It is rich in marine elastin and collagen source extracts that envelopes the skin in a moisturizing and repairing veil leaving it smooth and silky.
