This sensitivity generally increases sunburn, which is why skin experts always recommend gradual sun exposure.
The skin is the largest organ in the body; it protects you from infections and injuries. In summer, with high temperatures and other factors like chlorine in swimming pools, it loses elasticity and hydration, and suffers more than in other seasons. So, this factor is going to be key and must be taken into account to meet its needs.
In this article, you'll discover the secrets to gradually preparing your skin for silky, healthy, and sexy skin all season long.
At Estetic Medic Garvin, we want to accompany and guide you through your beauty routine before you head out to sunbathe on a beach or pool lounger, so keep reading.
1. Exfoliate your skin
Did you know that your skin renews itself approximately every 28 days?
However, toxins, pollution particles, impurities, and oil that accumulate in our pores hinder this process. Exfoliating helps the skin breathe better, removes that layer of dead cells, and effectively absorbs the active ingredients in the products we apply later.
Therefore, as with any beauty ritual, the first step in preparing and beautifying your skin for summer is cleansing.
By exfoliating the skin, we achieve the following benefits:
- Eliminate impurities and dead cells.
- Strengthen the dermis.
- Increase skin elasticity and increase softness.
- Enhance tanning.
Exfoliation renews your skin and brightens it ; this is the first beauty secret.
For your face, you can use Mesoestetic's Ultimate Micropeel , an illuminating exfoliant for all skin types that enhances your face's natural light, leaving skin silky smooth, free of blemishes and dead cells.
In addition, it contains glycolic acid to fade spots and improve acne.
Beauty Tips
- Use it twice a week, preferably at night if you are going to be exposed to the sun.
- Shake the container before use.
- Soak a cotton pad with a small amount.
- Spread it well on clean skin and let it sit for 3 minutes.
- Relax for these 3 minutes so as not to upset your skin.
- Rinse with cold or warm water
2. Moisturize your skin
Did you know that the main cause of dull skin is dehydration?
Drinking between 1.5 and 2 liters of water a day and choosing the right moisturizers helps your skin get the hydration it needs.
This is the next beauty step after removing all impurities with exfoliation.
By hydrating your skin, the skin barrier strengthens and protects it from external agents such as pollution, temperature changes, and makeup itself. Plus, good hydration delays premature aging . Dehydrated skin is weaker, more sensitive, loses collagen, and accelerates the appearance of wrinkles.
If you didn't know, nourishing your skin also improves its appearance, reducing dark circles, blemishes, and blackheads.
Lamdors Global's T.41 Sedapiel Body Lotion deeply repairs, firms, and nourishes your skin, leaving it feeling silky smooth all day long. Its moisturizing power will soothe the feeling of tightness and soften the keratin responsible for calluses and eczema.
Beauty Tips
- After bathing, massage a light layer of cream all over your body until completely absorbed.
- Focus on the driest areas of skin for deep nourishment.
And for your face, we recommend Hydra Vital Factor K by Mesoestetic , a vitamin-rich cream that provides extreme hydration, while brightening your skin and reducing the signs of aging.
Write down this secret to show off silky, firm, and radiant skin during the warmer months.
Beauty Tips
- After your morning cleansing routine, apply a small amount to your face, neck, and décolleté.
- Gently massage the entire area for 2 minutes.
- Breathe and let yourself be carried away by the breeze of your skin.
- You can also use it in your nighttime routine.
3. Take care of your diet
They say "your food is your medicine" and at Estetic Medic Garvin, we add that your diet is also part of your source of beauty.
Due to high temperatures, we lose more fluids in summer than in other months of the year.
For this reason, it's essential that you drink more water and eat more fruits and vegetables. A proper diet will help you prepare your skin for sun exposure from within, protect it from the sun's rays, and delay skin aging.
Add the following beauty tips to your shopping list:
- Reduce the risk of sunburn by up to 40% by eating foods such as watermelon, tomatoes, grapefruit, and blood oranges thanks to a great antioxidant: lycopene.
- Prevent free radical damage to the skin by eating foods rich in vitamin E, such as avocado and nuts like walnuts or almonds.
- It strengthens the body's defenses and helps compensate for the antioxidants that the skin loses with sun exposure, thanks to foods rich in zinc, such as legumes and seafood.
- Promote melanin production and prevent skin aging with foods rich in vitamin A and beta-carotene, such as carrots, spinach, peaches, and apricots.
4. Sun protection
Showing off tanned, sexy skin without damaging it is possible thanks to sunscreen. While protecting yourself from UV rays is necessary during the winter months, it's essential during the summer months.
At Estetic Medic Garvin, we recommend that you care for and protect your skin 365 days a year , not just on your days at the beach and pool. The greatest power you have in your hands is to cover your skin with sunscreen without exception before leaving the house .
This small habit rejuvenates your skin and reduces the risk of suffering from diseases such as skin cancer, burns or skin blemishes .
Important recommendations for using sunscreen:
- Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure and don't forget to reapply it every two hours.
- Remember to also protect your ears, lips, hands or neck .
- Be generous with the amount of sunscreen you use . A great trick to get the right amount is to apply the sunscreen along your index and middle fingers. Using too little reduces your skin's protection by up to 20%. Use sunscreen on cloudy days ; UV rays still reach the Earth's surface through clouds.
At Estetic Medic Garvin we love Mineral Matt SPF 50 by Mesoestetic , a light anti-aging emulsion with SPF 50 for all skin types, which protects, hydrates, rejuvenates and also gives you a matte and velvety finish.

This cream is one of those facial essentials that you always need to carry with you.
And finally, don't forget to always wear sunglasses with the European Union CE mark. Always sunbathing with approved sunglasses will protect your eyes from UV rays and reduce the appearance of fine lines around the eyes.

Gone are the days of cardboard tans and the desire to tan without taking health into account.
According to Dr. Julián Conejo-Mir, president of the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, excessive sun exposure ages the skin up to eight years later in adulthood.
Little by little, people are paying more attention to the health of their skin, not just its aesthetics.
In fact, Spaniards are the Europeans most aware of the risks of solar radiation, according to a study by Garnier Delial and the Association of Leagues Against Cancer.
That's why using body oil or other creams without sun protection to tan at all costs seems like a complete nonsense and a thing of the past. Today's women take care of themselves and pamper themselves from within. And that means eating well, staying hydrated, and maintaining a more comprehensive beauty routine.
Because tanned, golden skin needs to be healthy not only during the summer months, but the rest of the year.
A person who takes care of themselves and moisturizes daily will have glowing, soft, and youthful skin for longer throughout their lives . And this is the best beauty secret there is.
