FOREO\u2019s skincare expert, Chris Luckham<\/strong>, reveals 6 changes you should make to your skincare routine this summer<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cut back on retinols\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Retinol<\/a> or Retinal\u2019s anything that falls under the retinoid topic<\/strong> has its amazing benefits and some may expect with increased sun exposure that summer isn\u2019t the time for it<\/strong>. We won\u2019t add yet another long description to what it does, however, I will add that it does thin the skin\u2019s barrier<\/strong>, so perhaps dialing it down to every other night (for those using it daily)<\/strong> and space it out, to avoid any dehydration which none of us will want in our holiday photos!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Try IPL treatments\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Intense pulsed light (IPL)<\/span><\/a> is a light therapy treatment used to treat. IPL is used more commonly for two reasons,\u00a0 excess pigmentation or hair removal. In both of these cases, it’s advisable for most to wait 48 hours post-treatment till you expose yourself to the sun<\/strong>, even with SPF (ideally)<\/strong>. For the hair removal side of IPL, it\u2019s the best tool for pre-holiday prep! You will need to start using it 12 weeks before to finish the whole course<\/strong> of a once-a-week \u2018zap\u2019 at home. With that comes a hugely reduced hair growth, softer regrowth and needing only the odd shave and monthly \u2018zap\u2019 to maintain results. I will note that the devices for at-home use have excelled in efficacy<\/strong>, though the increase in melanin\/tan in our skin can interfere with the device\u2019s ability to spot and differentiate the hair from the skin<\/strong>, making it less effective<\/strong> and depending on which device can even cause damage.<\/strong> We recommend sticking to manufacturer guidelines meticulously or better than visiting a professional once clinics are reopened.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
