Relieve irritated skin naturally
Even if summer is indeed here and our skin is a little less abused than in winter, the fact remains that sometimes the latter reveals unpleasant itching, the fault of untimely shaving, too long exposures to the sun but also to the friction of our skin against the skin (like the inner thighs). In short, you will understand, even in summer, you have to take care of your skin and hydrate it well.
However, don't panic today, I've decided to be generous and share some natural tips to help you relieve your irritated skin.
First, get rid of your bad habits!
For starters don't take too much bath! And yes, even if it relaxes you, know that taking too much bath eliminates the protective layers of your skin, which has the effect of promoting the elimination of water. Prefer the showers! In addition, prefer cold saponified soaps which will moisturize your skin at the same time as it cleans it.
In summer, we like to enjoy long swims, swimming pools, it's true, it's so pleasant especially in case of strong heat! You are indeed right to take advantage of it, but don't forget to hydrate yourself when you get out of the water, such as with Exsens coconut and shea body oil.
And finally do not expose yourself to the sun without protection. We can never tell you enough, protect your skin from the sun's rays!
