The principle of Classical Chinese Medicine: Balance Between Yin and Yang
This season is all about light, energy and days spent outdoors. The sun, which in Classical Chinese Medicine is seen as an expression of Yang energy, is a valuable source of wellbeing, but it is also one of the main factors responsible for dehydration and skin ageing. For this reason, during the summer, it is essential to support and nourish Yin, counteracting excess heat through proper hydration of the body and a skincare routine designed to preserve the skin’s natural balance.
The Importance of Hydration in Summer
During the summer months, the skin favours lightweight, easily absorbed textures that provide hydration without weighing it down. Serums and creams with a light, refreshing texture help to maintain the skin’s natural balance, while drinking water regularly replenishes fluids lost through perspiration, helping to keep the skin soft, supple and radiant.
The Summer Beauty Routine with Lefay SPA “Tra Suoni e Colori” Cosmetics
Our experts recommend a simple yet comprehensive beauty routine, designed to prepare the skin for sun exposure, protect it throughout the day and support its natural regeneration – all thanks to the precious formulations of the Lefay SPA “Tra Suoni e Colori” cosmetic line.
Step 1: Face and Body Care
Before sun exposure, it is important to gently remove dead skin cells and impurities, promoting the skin’s natural renewal process and allowing subsequent treatments to work more effectively. For the face, the Unico Cielo Gentle Scrub provides gentle exfoliation, while for the body, the experts at Lefay SPA recommend the Brezza Exfoliating Scrub with olive oil and thermal salt, enriched with argan oil and apricot oil, known for their regenerating and moisturising properties.
Step 2: Deep Hydration and Restoration of the Hydrolipid Barrier
To complete your skincare routine, you can apply a moisturising face mask such as Orizzonte once or twice a week. Ideal for restoring the skin’s balance and rebuilding its hydrolipidic barrier, it provides an additional boost of hydration. For the body, we recommend the Luce Moisturising Emulsion, which helps keep the skin supple and radiant, counteracting its natural tendency to become dehydrated as a result of sun exposure.
Step 3: Sun Protection and After-Sun Care
Of course, no skincare product can replace proper sun protection: choosing a sun cream suited to your skin type, reapplying it while exposed to the sun and using an after-sun product helps restore comfort to the skin and contributes to preserving its beauty and health. Just as each season invites the body to adapt to its own rhythms, skincare also evolves alongside nature.
Preparing the skin, protecting it and supporting its natural regeneration process are essential steps for wellbeing throughout the summer months.
