Which is the major recommendation to take care of our skin in summer?
Applying sunscreen SPF 30 and reapplying it at least every two hours is a must. It is really important to avoid sun from 11 to 16. If you are under the sun at that time, you should protect yourself under an umbrella and use appropriate clothes, a hat and sunglasses.
Which are your suggestions when sunbathing?
It is important to sunbathe gradually and follow the recommendations I’ve just mentioned. If you are sunbathing for the first time, you have to avoid being under the sun all day long. It is important to respect the times and never forget using SPF 30.
Long days out are not the best allies for a healthy skin, what should we do to enjoy a beach day and not damage our skin?
Something very important is to drink water, at least 2 liters a day. It is also important to use a post solar moisturizing cream.
Which routine do you suggest to take care of our skin?
Just two things: using sunscreen and applying moisturizing cream. When choosing a sunscreen it is important to check that is protects against UVA and UVB. Generally, that information is specified on the packaging; it is also important that the sunscreen has a good cosmetic so as to reapply it every two hours without any problem.
Which products do you recommend?
Undoubtedly, a good moisturizing mask.

In summer, the hair is more exposed to the sun and sea water, which are the main cares we should take into account to protect it?
The best recommendation I can give is to moisturize the hair with creams. Before going to the beach or to the swimming pool, I recommend to apply a good hair cream and then reapply it every time you get out of the water.
How can we take care of our hair without spending too much money?
With oils: almond, argan or even olive oil. They are excellent to protect the hair before combing it or before drying it. They are effective moisturizers.
Which should be our hair care routine in summer?
Sun, water, sea…they are all abrasive. It is important to wash the hair with shampoo in order to get rid of all the toxics that it absorbs in a beach day and then applying a moisturizing cream and sealing it with oil.
Which are the haircut trends for this summer?
There are no specific trends… the important thing is to highlight the beauty of each kind of hair and respect it: if it is curly or straight, then take into account those features. There is a style that prevails and it is the straight hair under the shoulders; regarding colors highlighting the natural color and doing a lightning or something on the tips, but something natural. Then you have the extremes: golden hairs, grey hair, pink hair, ice hair, light blue hair. The important thing is to highlight and make the most of the inner beauty of each hair.
A hair style that is a must in summer?
A semi upsweep hair style… with more or less sideburns, with or without fringe, more or less tidy. It never fails and it can be used with any kind of outfit, from a casual style to a night look.
Let’s enjoy summer!
