Your Skin After Summer: How to Recover and Restore

Introduction 

Summer sun, sea, and long days outdoors can leave your skin looking radiant but it also takes a toll. After weeks of sun exposure, heat, and summer activities, your skin may feel dehydrated, sensitive, or dull. Restoring and nurturing your skin now is key to maintaining a healthy glow and preventing premature ageing. 

At Velvet Symphony, our clean, vegan, and luxurious skincare range is designed to help your skin recover, replenish, and radiate… whatever the season. 

1. Hydrate Inside and Out 

Sun, salt water, and air conditioning can dehydrate your skin quickly. Drinking plenty of water is essential, but topical hydration matters too.

  • Velvet Symphony Hydrating Serum: Packed with hyaluronic acid and botanical extracts, it deeply moisturises and helps skin retain its natural moisture.
  • Velvet Symphony Replenishing Moisturiser: Locks in hydration and restores softness, leaving skin feeling plump and healthy. 

Tip: Apply serums and moisturisers to damp skin to maximise absorption. 

2. Gentle Exfoliation 

After summer, dead skin cells can build up, making your complexion look dull. Gentle exfoliation helps renew your skin without causing irritation.

  • Use a mild, natural exfoliant once or twice a week. 
  • Avoid harsh scrubs that can damage sensitive post-sun skin. 

💡 Velvet Symphony Revitalising Scrub is perfect for resurfacing your skin with soft, eco-friendly exfoliating beads and nourishing plant oils. 

3. Gentle Exfoliation  

Sun exposure can leave your skin inflamed or irritated. Aftercare is crucial:

  • Velvet Symphony Soothing Face Mist: Calm and refresh your skin with aloe vera and chamomile. 
  • Velvet Symphony Repair Balm: Ideal for dry patches or sensitive areas, promoting healing and comfort. 

 Tip: Keep products in the fridge for a cooling, refreshing sensation. 

4. Gentle Exfoliation 

Even after summer ends, UV exposure continues. Protecting your skin daily prevents further damage and prolongs your summer glow. 

  • Velvet Symphony SPF 30 Moisturiser: Lightweight, vegan, and perfect for everyday wear under makeup or on bare skin. 
  • Apply SPF every morning even on cloudy days. 

Conclusion 

Recovering and restoring your skin after summer doesn’t have to be complicated. With a few simple steps and the right products, you can maintain hydration, calm irritation, and keep your glow all year long.
