September brings the return to routine, and with it, post-holiday syndrome affects the skin. Experts highlight the importance of resuming care habits to mitigate its effects.
September marks the return to routine not only for children but also for adults, who must face the post-holiday syndrome that affects the skin. According to expansion.com, the stress associated with this return to normality raises cortisol levels, leading to increased sebum production and potentially resulting in acne breakouts and imperfections.
Daniel Juncal, regional account manager of the Swiss cosmetics brand Valmont, emphasizes that “September is back to school for our skin.” He suggests regaining the healthy habits that are often neglected during the summer.
Paz Torralba, director of The Beauty Concept, warns that the skin is a reflection of emotional and hormonal changes. This, combined with sun exposure and changes in the care routine, can result in dehydrated skin with a loss of radiance.
The expert recommends undergoing a repair process before introducing more intensive treatments, such as exfoliants or depigmenting agents. “The biggest challenge is to repair before renewing,” says Torralba.
The CEO of Templa Medical, Cristina López Mejía, underscores the need for deep cleansing and hydration, suggesting a gradual return to the use of active ingredients that are often paused in summer, such as acids or retinoids.
The return to routine also affects hair. José Sánchez, director of Oramai, points out that exposure to the sun and other factors can lead to increased hair breakage. To address this, they offer treatments like Reset, which helps restore hydration and nutrition to the hair.
Finally, Julia Chacón, CEO of Luxmetique, highlights the importance of caring for the body from within. Nutricosmetics are on the rise, promoting a beauty that not only corrects the visible but also focuses on internal well-being.
