After weeks of sun, heat, days at the beach and time by the pool, it is common to notice that your skin feels drier, looks duller or even has new dark spots. That is why restoring your skin after summer means paying closer attention to it again and adapting your skincare routine to its new needs.
Good hydration, the right active ingredients and sun protection can help gradually restore your skin’s appearance. And when you want to enhance the results or address more specific concerns, you can complement your skincare routine with professional treatments.
Sun exposure is one of the main factors that affects our skin during summer. Heat, chlorine from swimming pools, sea salt and changes in our daily habits can also have an impact.
By the end of the holidays, skin may feel more dehydrated, look duller, have an uneven texture or show dark spots that were not there before or have become more noticeable.
Therefore, September is a good time to review your skincare routine and start giving your skin the care it needs.
You do not need to use a large number of products. A simple and consistent routine adapted to your skin type can be the first step towards restoring hydration and radiance.
A good skincare routine always begins with cleansing. After summer, you may be tempted to exfoliate your skin intensively to remove impurities or achieve a more even texture. However, using products that are too aggressive can further disrupt the skin barrier.
Choose a gentle cleanser for morning and evening and avoid overusing exfoliants, especially if your skin feels sensitive or dehydrated.
One of the most common needs after summer is restoring the skin’s hydration levels. Incorporating products with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid can help retain moisture in the skin and improve its appearance.
At Clínica Torrubia Garbayo, we offer HA Densimatrix by Mesoestetic®, an intensive concentrate containing different forms of hyaluronic acid that provides hydration at different levels and helps protect the skin against external aggressors.
It can be incorporated into your facial skincare routine as a complement to help restore more hydrated and comfortable skin after the summer months.
Dehydrated skin can appear duller and more tired. In addition to hydration, antioxidant active ingredients such as vitamin C can be incorporated into your routine to help protect the skin against oxidative stress and promote a more radiant appearance.
Moreover, diet, rest and proper hydration also play a role in skin health. Skincare works best when combined with healthy everyday habits.
After summer, it is common to notice sun spots or find that existing pigmentation has become darker or more visible.
At this point, it is particularly important not to start combining different acids or depigmenting products without knowing what type of pigmentation you are treating. Not all dark spots have the same cause or respond in the same way.
If the spots persist, a professional assessment can help determine the most appropriate treatment.
Just because the holidays are over does not mean you should put your sunscreen away until next summer.
Daily sun protection remains essential throughout the year and becomes even more important if you want to prevent existing dark spots from becoming darker or new pigmentation from appearing.
At Torrubia Garbayo, we offer sunscreens for different skin types. For example, for skin prone to dark spots, Mesoprotech® Melan 130 Pigment Control SPF 50+ provides very high sun protection and is specifically designed for skin with pigmentation and dark spots.
Sometimes, trying to restore your skin too quickly can lead you to do exactly the opposite of what it needs.
Over-exfoliating your skin. More exfoliation does not mean you will achieve radiant skin more quickly. Overdoing it can increase sensitivity and disrupt the skin’s protective barrier.
Introducing too many active ingredients at once. Retinol, vitamin C, acids, depigmenting products… starting everything at the same time can cause irritation. It is better to introduce products gradually according to your skin’s needs.
Stopping sun protection. Sunscreen should remain part of your daily routine, particularly if you are using active ingredients or treatments designed to improve pigmentation.
Daily skincare is essential for keeping your skin healthy and cared for, but some concerns may require a more specific approach. In these cases, your at-home routine can be complemented with professional treatments adapted to the condition and needs of your skin.
Aquapure is a non-invasive facial treatment that combines deep cleansing, exfoliation, hydration and nourishment.
It helps remove impurities and dead skin cells while providing nutrients and vitamin C. Therefore, it can be a good option after summer when the goal is to achieve cleaner, more hydrated and radiant-looking skin.
In addition, the treatment can be personalised according to your skin type and individual needs.
If you want to enhance hydration and improve the overall quality of your skin, facial mesotherapy can be another option.
The treatment involves microinjections of different active ingredients into the skin, including vitamins and hyaluronic acid. It is designed to improve deep hydration, radiance, texture and skin elasticity.
Dark spots require a personalised approach because there are different types of hyperpigmentation.
At Clínica Torrubia Garbayo, treatments such as IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) can be used for certain types of pigmentation and sun spots. In other cases, such as melasma or certain forms of pigmentation, chemical peels or depigmenting treatments may be recommended.
For this reason, before treating a dark spot, it is important to have a professional assessment to identify its characteristics and determine the most appropriate option.
Restoring your skin after summer does not mean completely changing your skincare routine. Returning to gentle cleansing, improving hydration, incorporating the right active ingredients and maintaining sun protection can make a significant difference.
When you want to go a step further, professional treatments can specifically address concerns such as dehydration, lack of radiance or dark spots.
At Clínica Torrubia Garbayo, we assess the individual needs of each person’s skin to recommend both daily skincare and professional treatments suited to each case.
It depends on the condition of your skin and the effects accumulated during the summer months. Maintaining a consistent routine with hydration, sun protection and skincare adapted to your needs can gradually help restore its appearance and comfort.
The first step is to identify the type of pigmentation. Some dark spots can be treated with depigmenting skincare products, while others may require professional treatments such as IPL or chemical peels. A professional assessment can help determine the most appropriate option.
It depends on the needs of your skin. Aquapure can be an option for cleansing, exfoliating, hydrating and revitalising the skin, while facial mesotherapy can provide deeper hydration and help improve overall skin radiance and quality.
