Dry skin and lifeless hair? Skincare and haircare after summer
Summer is a wonderful time of year, but now that the season is coming to an end, you may start to notice the effects of the sun and intense heat on your skin and hair. Is your skin feeling drier than usual? Does your hair seem lifeless, dried out, and difficult to manage?
Prolonged exposure to the sun, sea salt, and chlorine from swimming pools can leave marks on your skin and hair. However, we don’t want these effects to stop us from enjoying the long sunny days, beach walks, and refreshing dips in the sea.
That’s why we’re bringing you some simple skincare and haircare solutions for after the summer to restore the radiance of your skin and hair!
What skincare and haircare routines should you follow after summer?
Skincare
After weeks of sun exposure, it’s normal for your skin to feel drier, rougher, and tighter. Here are a few steps you can take to restore hydration and softness to your skin:
- Deep hydration
To bring back comfort and elasticity to your skin, it’s essential to use products that restore the moisture lost during the summer. Products rich in ingredients like hyaluronic acid, shea butter, and ceramides are ideal. Douglas and O Boticário offer a wide range of creams and lotions that can help rebuild the skin’s barrier and retain moisture, essential steps in your post-summer skincare and haircare routine.
- Specific facial care
The skin on your face is more delicate and needs special attention. Use serums and creams rich in antioxidants to combat sun damage and revitalise your skin. At Farmácia Baptista or Primor, you can find options suitable for different skin types. Remember, maintaining a skincare routine with the right products for your skin type is key to healthy, beautiful skin. Want to learn more?

- Ongoing protection against damage
Even though summer is over, sun protection remains crucial to prevent new damage and avoid premature ageing. At Farmácia Baptista, you’ll find a wide range of sunscreens formulated for all skin types, ensuring effective protection without compromising hydration—a crucial aspect of your post-summer skincare and haircare routine.
Haircare
Your hair also suffers a lot from summer’s harsh conditions: sun, salt, and chlorine can leave it dull, dry, and lifeless. What can you do to revive it?
- Hair Treatments For damaged hair, a deep treatment is essential. At Jean Louis David, you can get bonding treatments or keratin hydration treatments that will bring your hair back to life. However, to keep these treatments effective, the next step—maintenance—is essential in your post-summer skincare and haircare routine.
- Quality haircare products at home
The products you use at home to care for your hair are also vital for prolonging the effects of your treatments. At Pluricosmética, you can find a variety of products used by professional hairdressers, specifically designed to hydrate and repair hair from within, restoring its shine and softness.
- Don’t forget the ends
Regularly trimming damaged ends is essential for keeping your hair healthy and avoiding split ends. After the summer, this is one of the key steps you should take to remove hair damaged by the sun and sea, and it’s a great opportunity to step into September—the month of new beginnings—with a fresh look. This way, you’ll be following the correct post-summer skincare and haircare routine.
