How do moisturizers and cleansers help to maintain skin?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Taking care of your skin during summer is crucial due to increased sun exposure, heat, and humidity. Moisturizers are essential for maintaining the skin’s hydration and barrier function. During summer, opt for a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer that would not clog your pores. Cleansers help remove dirt, sweat, and excess oil accumulated on your skin throughout the day. Use a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser that effectively cleanses without stripping your skin of its natural oils. Cleansing twice a day is ideal. Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin. This can be done using physical exfoliants (like scrubs) or chemical exfoliants like alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs).

About one to two times a week, regular exfoliation can help prevent clogged pores, smooth out your skin’s texture, and promote a brighter complexion. Be cautious not to over-exfoliate as it can lead to irritation and sensitivity. No exfoliation with active skin conditions Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) of at least 30. For oily skin, a gel-based or oil-free sunscreen works well. For dry skin, a cream-based sunscreen can provide extra hydration.

Apply sunscreen generously and reapply every two hours, or more frequently if you are sweating or swimming. A balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals can greatly benefit your skin. Staying hydrated and drinking plenty of water is important. A physical examination by a dermatologist is a must.

I hope this helps.
