Australian summer skincare routine for dry skin

While oily skin can plague some people, for many others the problem is skin that is too dry especially during the summer months . Continuous dry skin can lead to flaking, flaking and itching, as well as promoting premature aging, something everyone hopes to avoid. Dry skin also tends to appear flat, lifeless and less healthy than adequately nourished and well-hydrated skin.

To help you with your beauty routine during the hot Australian summer months, this article will focus on treatments for dry skin. First, we'll look at the textures of a few different types of skin care creams, the best summer cream for dry skin, and a dry skin care routine that will keep your skin hydrated and healthy throughout the day in summer.

Skin care products and their textures

With so many skin care products available on the market and so many variations of creams and lotions, choosing the best product for dry summer skin can be confusing. Let's try to shed some light by analysing the textures of some of the most common creams and lotions on the Australian market today. It's about discovering the texture best suited to your skin.

Creams

When it comes to skincare products and textures, creams have long been a staple and many people's favourite. Although their consistency is thicker than other skincare textures, creams work very well as a layer on top of other products. Creams can be layered with lotions, concentrates and serums. Even though a cream doesn't penetrate the skin as deeply as a concentrate, it works very well as a protective barrier, preventing the skin from drying out in the summer heat.

Concentrate

After cleansing, it is often customary to apply a serum or moisturising cream onto the face. A better choice is to opt for concentrates, which have the ability to take your current skincare routine to the next level.

Lotions

A lotion is not too different from a cream. The consistency is just a little less dense and lighter. One of the main benefits of a lotion's consistency is that you can layer other products on top of it, due to its rapid absorption into the skin. This allows other skin care products to work. The lotions also contain very little to no oil, and that's good news for the humid summer months. Lotions lock in vital moisture and leave skin vibrant and hydrated.

Serums

The texture and consistency of the serum is generally quite thin to make it easier to absorb into the skin. Many women combine the use of serums with a moisturiser, first nourishing the skin with a serum and then layering a layer of moisturiser on top.

This combination works well to repair the deeper layers of damaged skin, while at the same time the skin receives a layer of moisturiser to protect itself from the summer heat. Serums also help reduce the signs of aging by smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes.

Gel

Gel textures are useful if you suffer from oily skin or if your skin is marked by some imperfections. Thanks to their light consistency, gels are easily absorbed into oily skin and allow you to keep the skin hydrated without adding other fatty substances to the skin surface. The gel consistency is perfect for the summer months, as it produces softer, brighter skin. Always choose an oil-free gel.

What is the best cream for dry skin in summer?

For mature skin, Fiorhe's Orange Body Cream is the ideal choice for hydrating and nourishing dry skin during summer. It can be applied both on the face and body and will return your dry skin to a soft, elastic, healthy and hydrated state.

For young skin, try Afrodite Body Cream for a full-bodied, melting and delicately scented experience, ideal for all skin types, and particularly suitable for dry skin. 

Otherwise if you desire a light cream specifically designed for face skin, choose Aura Moisturising Cream with moisturising and nourishing functions to guarantee the right degree of hydration and obtain silky, elastic and luminous skin.  

Fiorhe's products have been tested in the laboratory and are GMO-free vegan and made from 100% organic ingredients.

An example of a summer routine for dry skin

Many things can lead to dry skin in summer, and it's often a combination of factors that cause the problem.

When washing your face, avoid soaps that tend to dry out your skin. Use a natural soap with hydrating properties.

Use a skin cream that works best for you, such as the Fiorhe's creams mentioned above.

Try to avoid hot water on your skin during summer. Lukewarm or cool water is better.

When you venture out into the sun, apply a sunscreen that contains a moisturiser to all exposed parts of your body and try to cover as much skin as possible.

In the heat of summer, many people run air conditioners, which can dry out their skin. Using a humidifier can help keep your skin hydrated even in an air-conditioned environment.

Stay well hydrated by always drinking plenty of fresh water.

Maintain a summer diet rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which are good for your skin.

Don't overdo alcohol, coffee, sugar or salt.
