Summer holiday season is finally here! The summer sun brings glowing complexions but also introduces one of the biggest stressors for the skin: UV exposure. To help prevent premature ageing, dark spots, and more, this post breaks down the hero ingredients to prioritise for both professional treatments and retail recommendations for your clients.
Vitamin C
- Neutralises free radicals triggered by UV exposure
- Helps reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation
- Supports collagen production to combat premature ageing
Vitamin C is the champion of summer skin support ingredients (behind SPFs of course!). It protects, brightens, and promotes collagen production making it the ideal companion for year-round skin support.
This handy retail product is a must-have for your clients this summer. The Fresh Mix Jelly with Vitamin C is an ultra-hydrating booster serum with 3 types of potent Vitamin C to protect against DNA damage, promote cell repair, and delivers an instant brightening effect. Anesi Lab Partners can also take advantage of our Vitamin 3C Glow facial kit for clients seeking a luxurious pre-holiday glow.
Pro Tip: Apply a Vitamin C serum under your SPF for extra antioxidant protection.
Niacinamide (ProVitamin B3)
- Supports skin resilience to environmental stress
- Helps brighten & even the complexion
- Calms inflammation that can be triggered by UV exposure
Niacinamide may be a good option for clients with more sensitive skin that is prone to redness. Skin barrier support combined with a gentle brightening effect can help achieve a more even complexion.
Pro Tip: Incorporate into a home-care routine in the lead up to a trip for a pre-holiday glow.
Panthenol (ProVitamin B5) & Cica (Centella Asiatica)
- Calms redness and irritation after UV exposure
- Supports barrier repair and skin renewal
- Enhances hydration and supports overall skin health
For clients who experience redness and skin sensitivity following sun exposure, Panthenol & Cica are fantastic options to reduce visible redness and bring back a balanced skin equilibrium.
Pro Tip: Perfect for after-sun treatments and homecare to boost recovery.
Hyaluronic Acid
- Replenishes moisture lost through heat and sun exposure
- Relieves tightness and dehydration lines
- Supports overall skin function during stress
Hyaluronic Acid is an everyday essential but is particularly important for restoring the skin after your client has had a long week away in the sun. For deep absorption and maximum hydration, multi-weight Hyaluronic Acid products are a must. An intensive hydrating facial after a holiday will relieve the skin of dehydration lines and restore a healthy, plump complexion.
This multi-weight Hyaluronic Serum from iSol has is highly bioavailable with an effective triple-moisturizing action to deeply hydrate the skin. Easy to incorporate into professional treatments and homecare routines.
The Anesi Lab Aqua Vital range features multi-weight Hyaluronic Acid throughout the professional and retail products. Designed to restore hydration and relieve dry skin, the Aqua Vital professional treatments offer the ultimate hydration boost.
Pro Tip: Use an SPF with hyaluronic acid or layer under your SPF for continuous hydration.
