Aloe Vera can help with PH because it contains vitamins, nutrients, and compounds called aloin and aloesin. When choosing an aloe vera product to use after microneedling, look for one that contains pure, natural aloe vera gel without artificial ingredients or alcohol. This way, you can use it even if you have sensitive skin. 

Summer calls for outdoor activities and sun protection. CITYSKIN MD offers tips to protect your skin in dry climates for a healthy glow all season.


The Challenges of Sun Exposure in a Dry Climate

  1. UV Radiation: Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is one of the primary causes of skin damage. Prolonged exposure can lead to sunburn, premature aging, and even skin cancer. UV radiation comprises UVA and UVB rays, which can penetrate the skin and cause harm.

  2. Dehydration: The combination of sun and dry air can quickly dehydrate your skin, stripping it of essential moisture. Dehydrated skin can become dry, flaky, and more prone to wrinkles and fine lines.

  3. Hyperpigmentation: Sun exposure can lead to hyperpigmentation, where certain areas of the skin become darker than the surrounding skin. This is often a result of increased melanin production as a response to UV exposure.

  4. Heat Rash: Even in a dry climate, hot weather can cause heat rash, where sweat gets trapped in the skin, leading to red, itchy bumps.

  5. Photoaging: Continuous sun exposure accelerates the aging process of the skin, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and a loss of skin elasticity. This is known as photoaging and is a common concern during the summer months.


Solutions to Protect and Rejuvenate Your Skin

  1. Sunscreen: Sunscreen is the cornerstone of any summer skincare routine. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 or higher and apply it generously to all exposed skin. Reapply every two hours or more often if you're swimming or sweating.

  2. Hydration: Keep your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water and using a good moisturizer. Look for products with deeply hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides in a dry climate. Consider using a humidifier at home to add moisture to the air.

  3. Antioxidants: Incorporate antioxidants into your skincare routine to help combat the free radicals caused by UV exposure. Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and green tea extract are excellent choices.

  4. Protective Clothing: Wear protective clothing, such as wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and lightweight, long-sleeved shirts. These can provide an extra layer of defense against the sun's rays.

  5. Exfoliation: Regular exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover, keeping your skin smooth and radiant. However, be gentle and avoid over-exfoliating, which can irritate, especially in a dry climate.

  6. After-Sun Care: After a day in the sun, soothe your skin with after-sun products that contain ingredients like aloe vera and chamomile. These can help reduce inflammation and redness.

  7. Regular Skin Checks: Keep an eye on your skin for any changes, such as new moles or spots that change in size, shape, or color. Early skin cancer detection is crucial, so schedule regular check-ups with a dermatologist.
