Summer is synonymous with light, energy, and freedom. However, for your skin, it can also be a challenging season: intense sun, UV rays, salt, and heat can put its natural balance to the test. To keep your skin healthy, glowing, and hydrated, it’s essential to adopt a few simple daily habits that truly make a difference.
Hydration is an absolute must. During summer, the skin tends to become dehydrated, dry, and less elastic. Apply a light moisturizing cream every day—preferably enriched with natural ingredients such as aloe vera or olive oil—to deeply nourish the skin. At the same time, remember to drink plenty of water to hydrate from within.
Sun protection is another essential step. Even on cloudy days, UV rays can damage the skin and accelerate the aging process. Always apply a sunscreen with an appropriate SPF, choosing light, non-comedogenic formulas that are perfect for everyday use.
Exfoliation, when done gently, is also important in summer. It helps remove dead skin cells, encourages cell renewal, and makes the skin brighter and more receptive to subsequent treatments. Choose mild, natural scrubs free from harsh ingredients to avoid disturbing your skin’s natural barrier.
La Sommità Relais: Wellness and Relaxation for Your Skin in the Heart of Ostuni
For deep yet gentle exfoliation, nothing compares to the Hammām Ritual with Savon Noir, available at our exclusive Oasis of Relaxation. Inspired by ancient Eastern traditions, this treatment uses black soap—a plant-based product rich in vitamin E—renowned for its purifying and nourishing properties.
The savon noir is applied to warm, damp skin to soften dead cells, then gently massaged and removed using an exfoliating glove. The result? Incredibly smooth, renewed, and silky-soft skin. Perfect even for sensitive skin types, this ritual blends physical wellbeing with mental relaxation, offering a sensation of lightness and deep harmony.
