Summer! The season we all look forward to from the moment it reaches its end. Beach, umbrella, sunbed (or mat for those who prefer it), hat, swimsuit... Wait a minute! Swimsuit? Is your skin really ready for sun exposure?
Stay with us and see what you should do and what to avoid before exposing your body to sunlight!
Step 1: Cleaning
Cleansing helps to immediately remove dirt, sweat, and sebum from the skin and helps prevent acne.
Tip: Opt for gentle, natural body washes like Q+A Hyaluronic Body Wash for deep hydration or Q+A Ceramide Shower Cream to strengthen the skin barrier.
Step 2: Exfoliation
Exfoliating your body before summer is extremely beneficial for your skin's appearance. It helps remove dead skin cells from the surface of your skin, leaving it smooth and soft, while also helping to better absorb products later on. The best part? Your tan will last longer because the tan will stay on renewed skin, where the cells will remain and not be shed immediately. Important! Don't forget to apply SPF after exfoliating.
Try it. Q+A Vitamin C Body Scrub that is sugar-based and has an incredible scent of freshly squeezed citrus juice!
⚠️ Attention: Avoid exfoliants containing AHA before sun exposure as it may increase the risk of sunburn when exposing the skin to UV radiation.
Step 3: Hydration
Proper hydration has multiple benefits for overall skin health. Some of these include keeping skin smooth and soft, strengthening the skin barrier by locking in moisture, slowing down aging, and soothing irritation.
Tip: Did you know that if you apply your moisturizer right after showering, on slightly damp skin, you lock in moisture better? Try Q+A Hyaluronic Post Shower Moisturiser, specially designed for application to wet skin and with a refreshing apple scent.
Step 4: Sunscreen
Sun protection is extremely important, although underestimated, even in the city. It protects the skin from UV radiation, prevents photoaging and protects against discoloration and sunburn. Prefer natural sunscreens that do not contain chemical ingredients harmful to health and skin and protect our beautiful planet!
Tip: Don't forget to apply sunscreen to your hands, when I say hands I mean your palms too! as well as your ears. They are parts of the body that we often overlook and are the parts that are most exposed to sunlight.

Extra Step against cellulite!
In addition to ample hydration, a healthy diet, and exercise, which effectively help improve the "banana peel" appearance, you can also incorporate an anti-cellulite product into your bodycare routine for visibly smoother and firmer skin! Ideally, apply after cleansing and exfoliating on dry skin for better penetration of the ingredients.
