Summer skin care – tips for sensitive skin in heat and UV radiation
For many, the warmer seasons are the best – soaking up the sun, wearing light clothing, and feeling like vacation. But summer can also be challenging, especially for those with sensitive skin. Strong UV rays, heat, sweat, and frequent showering quickly disrupt the skin's natural balance. In this article, you'll learn how to optimally protect and care for your skin in the summer – with simple tips and the right products from Quellmed.
Gentle cleansing – less is more
Sensitive skin is prone to irritation in the summer, especially from frequent washing with harsh products. Therefore, use mild, pH-neutral cleansers without perfume or alcohol. Quellmed Solid Cleanser with healing spring water from Nienburg cleanses particularly gently and preserves your skin's natural protective barrier.
Tip: Cleanse your face in the morning and evening, perhaps more if you sweat a lot – but always with lukewarm water to avoid irritating your skin.
Moisture is the be-all and end-all
Heat and sunlight cause the skin to lose a lot of moisture—even if sweating makes it feel "damp." Therefore, it's important to moisturize regularly to avoid tightness and redness.
Quellmed skin sprays, based on mineral-rich healing spring water, are ideal for a quick refresh – even over makeup. They soothe immediately and support skin regeneration naturally.
Sun protection – every day
Sensitive skin is particularly sensitive to UV radiation, which can lead to redness, spots, and premature skin aging. Daily mineral sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF 30 or higher) is essential—even on cloudy days.
Make sure you use a sunscreen without irritating ingredients (e.g., parabens, fragrances, or alcohol). Apply it in the morning after your skincare routine and reapply it regularly—especially after bathing or sweating.
First aid for sun irritation
Despite all precautions, it can happen: Your skin is reddened, tight, or slightly burning. This is when it especially needs soothing. The Quellmed Acute Roller helps with this. Thanks to concentrated healing spring water, it relieves inflammation and promotes skin regeneration. Simply apply directly to the affected areas—a practical aid even when you're on the go.
Don’t forget to drink!
Not only the skin, but also the entire body needs more fluids in the summer. Drinking at least 2 liters of water or unsweetened tea daily helps moisturize the skin from within. Those prone to dry or irritated skin will especially benefit from this.
With the right care and a few simple habits, you can keep sensitive skin healthy and radiant even in summer. The key is to listen to your skin, avoid over-treating it, and rely on gentle, natural products – like those from Quellmed.
