The combination of sun, chlorine, salt peter, sand and wind that our body has collected in recent weeks, certainly that they have felt phenomenal for our mood, but the same cannot be said about the appearance that hair or skin currently has two of the most punished parts during the holidays. «Despite what one can think, the return of the summer is the time of the year in which skin and hair look worse. It is true that De Bruin can be very flattering, but unfortunately the sun exposes to our body, ”warns the dermatologist Isabel Aldanondo, of the Pedro Jaén group. To restore the health of her and skin after weeks of a certain certain extent, it is important to follow a series of guidelines in addition to the treatment of treatments,” experts “.
Apply mask and avoid using the dryer
Hair is one of the parts of our body that suffers the most in the summer. Both the sun and the chlorine of the swimming pools or the salt peter of the sea spoil the outer layer (cuticbel) and contributing to the hair is easier split, it curls and loses shine. “To help restore the cuticle, hydrating treatments such as masks, serums or essential oils and even more intensive hairdressing treatments can be used,” advises the dermatologist Ángela Hermosa, spokesperson for the Tricology Group of the Spanish Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (AEDV). The use of the dryer must also be avoided.
Critical months are usually October and November
In addition to the loss of shine, another of the consequences of exposing the hair to the sun for so long that we will fall further in the coming weeks. And this is not myth. It’s true. “There is a kind of fall that is seasonal and usually coincides with autumn,” says the beautiful doctor. Experts believe it is because we are exposed to much more light in the summer, the hair stops its growth. And because the hair starts to show her a few months after growth, it may be that for that reason we notice “a little more fall” in the months of October and November. «It usually takes less than three months and repairs spontaneously, so it is not disturbing. However, if it is extended over time, there is a decrease in capillary density or there is an appearance of alopecia plaques, the dermatologist must be used to exclude other pathologies that can also be taken with an increase in hair loss, such as an Areata alopecia, which is a car -immune disease, the spoke, the spoke -of -the spawns, the spoke -of -spoke from the AED.
How can we stop that hair loss? “There are treatments that can help prevent hair loss to stop before what would stop itself and even the hair that fell would grow faster, such as the use of minoxidil, current or oral, mesotherapy with platelet -rich plasma or the use of melatonin.”
Exfolite the skin twice a week and check spots and birthmarks
The return of the holiday is a good time to perform a peeling of the skin once or twice a week, “especially if there is a lot of seborrhea or acneic tendency. In this way, dead cells are eliminated and the epidermal renewal is favored,” the experts point. The beautiful doctor advises to use day creams with antioxidants such as vitamin C to help cells produce in the DNA produced by ultraviolet radiation, while you can apply retinols or hydroxyacid alpha at night. Now, if we need to breathe new life into the skin and to hydrate it in a deeply, “you can resort to treatments such as mesotherapy with vitamins and low -ioniculation hyaluronic acid or collagen bio -stimulation with low -pictures -rich plasma.”
Another common phenomenon during the summer months is the appearance of stains or moles, which must be evaluated and treated by a dermatologist. Once the type of stain has been analyzed, it is treated with depigmentants, pills or light sources such as laser and pressed light.
With the tanned body we tend to find ourselves more favorite, but the brunette that we like so much does not stop being aggression to the skin. «Ultraviolet radiation is the most important source of oxidative stress, induces the destruction of collagen and elastic fibers that keep it firm and cause pigmentation changes such as Lentigos and melasma. On the other hand, the epithelial damage damages the production of precancere lesions such as the actinic keratosis that can become malignant tumors over the years and with repeated solar exhibitions, ”Dr. Aldanondo recalls.
