Redness and acne after summer: How to avoid the rebound effect on your skin?
Summer means beautiful skin: radiant complexion, tanned skin, fewer imperfections... But be careful, the sun can play tricks! After the season, many people see redness and spots return in force as soon as they return to school... It's the rebound effect!
But don't panic, here's why it happens and, above all, how to avoid it!
What is the rebound effect?
The sun, with its anti-inflammatory effect, gives the skin a clearer appearance. But this is deceptive! When exposed to UV rays, the skin reacts by defending itself: it thickens and its pores tighten.
As a result, sebum (an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands) no longer drains properly. A few weeks after the holidays, it's the rebound effect: acne returns, microcysts and comedones appear, and the beautiful summer skin fades.
The Sun: Ally or Enemy?
Although summer may seem like it makes skin perfect, it's only temporary. In the long run, thickened skin and clogged pores can lead to blemishes. That's why it's crucial to take good care of your skin after the summer season.
The skincare routine to avoid the rebound effect:
1. Double cleansing daily
For clear, sebum-free skin, gentle double cleansing every day is essential.2. A weekly scrub
Exfoliation is the essential step to prevent the rebound effect: it removes accumulated sebum and dead cells, revealing new, radiant skin. The exfoliating foam cream combines a radiance mask with fruit acids and a manual scrub with silica beads to gently exfoliate the skin, leaving it smoother, softer, and visibly clearer.
3. Moisturize morning and evening
Don't skip the moisturizing step, which is essential for all skin types, even oily skin. The clinically proven EXPO DEFENSE range combines long-lasting hydration and radiance, while smoothing fine lines.
This way, you can keep your skin glowing and avoid back-to-school imperfections, while prolonging the beauty of your summer complexion!
