Maintaining healthy, glowing skin during the summer can be challenging. Olga, the owner of Dreamlook Beauty and an experienced esthetician and permanent makeup artist, offers her expertise to help navigate the season’s skincare needs. She provides valuable advice on summer-appropriate skincare treatments, hydration tips, and at-home maintenance routines to ensure your skin remains radiant all summer.
Interviewer: Hello, Olga. Thank you for taking the time to speak with us today. As an experienced esthetician and permanent makeup artist, could you share your insights on skincare procedures that are best suited for summer and those that are ideal for autumn and winter?
Olga: Of course, thank you for having me. In the summer, it’s essential to focus on treatments that are gentle on the skin and help maintain hydration levels. Procedures like the PRX treatment are fantastic for summer as they can improve skin texture and tone without causing excessive sensitivity to the sun.
For autumn and winter, deeper peels and treatments targeting issues like pigmentation and fine lines can be more beneficial since less sun exposure during these seasons allows for better skin recovery.
Additionally, regular facials can be beneficial every month, regardless of the season. Facials help remove dead skin cells, extract impurities, and promote skin rejuvenation. Maintenance is crucial for healthy, glowing skin, and facials play a significant role in achieving that.
Interviewer: With summer in full swing, many people are concerned about dehydration and sunburn. What advice would you offer to help people protect their skin during summer?
Olga: Hydration is key during the summer months. I always recommend using a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer with SPF to protect against UV damage. It’s also essential to drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Reapplying sunscreen every two hours, wearing protective clothing, and seeking shade during peak sun hours is also crucial to prevent sunburn and premature aging.
Interviewer: What practical advice would you give to women looking to maintain healthy and glowing skin during the summer?
Olga: Firstly, I recommend incorporating antioxidant-rich serums into your skincare routine to combat free radical damage from the sun. Exfoliating regularly to remove dead skin cells and using hydrating masks can also help keep your skin looking fresh and radiant. Additionally, remember to adjust your skincare routine to suit changing weather conditions. Lighter moisturizers and serums can be more suitable during summer than heavier creams.
Interviewer: For those looking to care for their skin between salon visits, what tips do you have for at-home maintenance, particularly for the legs, arms, and face?
Olga: Between salon visits, it’s essential to maintain a consistent skincare routine at home. For the legs and arms, regularly exfoliating can help prevent ingrown hairs and keep the skin smooth. Applying a hydrating body lotion after showering can also help lock in moisture. For the face, cleansing twice daily, using a toner to balance the skin’s pH, and applying a suitable moisturizer are key steps. Adding a weekly face mask targeted to your skin concerns can also provide a rejuvenating boost.
For those with permanent makeup on their eyebrows and lips, it’s crucial to protect them with sunscreen to prevent fading. Sun exposure can cause permanent makeup to fade faster, so be sure to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen over these areas to maintain their color and shape.
Olga’s expertise in skincare and beauty shines through in her insightful advice on summer skincare tips and at-home maintenance routines. By following her recommendations, you can ensure that your skin remains healthy, hydrated, and glowing throughout the summer months and beyond. You can also benefit from regular facials to maintain skin health and vitality.
