Lightweight textures are for summer

Combination or oily skin doesn't usually like the summer, and this year it is further complicated by the use of face masks. We must make small variations to our beauty routine depending on the time of year. Today, we are going to see why light textures are preferred for combination, oily, and acne-prone skin, and what type of serum to apply in the summer.

Take note!

Due to their rapid absorption, they are preferred by people with combination, oily, and acne-prone skin, as well as many men. Products with light textures, where the main feature is the refreshing sensation of “giving your skin a drink,” become even more important in the summer. This is what has been called “watery cosmetics,” which we at Herbera have carefully crafted to achieve a high concentration of active ingredients that deliver on all their promises, giving you that feeling of lightness, freshness, and smoothness that we all seek in the heat.

These textures are usually characterized by having a large amount of water. At Herbera, we replace it with an organic orange blossom hydrosol that offers antimicrobial, toning, and purifying activity, soothing and balancing your skin.

In the heat, we look for products that provide lightness, freshness, and smoothness

Why do we like these textures more at this time of year?

• Because air conditioning, sun exposure, pool chlorine, or beach sand punish our skin, dehydrating it more easily.
• Because we find the sensation of calm and freshness provided by gel textures comforting.
• Because sweat means we need products that are quickly absorbed.
• In addition to the heat, sweat, chlorine, and sea salt, this year there is another new factor in our lives that will also make you feel that your skin needs an extra dose of refreshing and soothing hydration: that new factor is fabric or surgical face masks. 100% of the people we asked in an Instagram poll a few days ago replied that wearing masks was causing them irritation, acne, and a feeling of humidity. This is due to the occlusive environment created by the mask, where sweat accumulates and can cause inflammation in epidermal keratinocytes. To mitigate these effects, these two oil-free gel texture serums will prove to be truly comforting.

Two ideal serums for this summer

We recommend using our Bio Serum Hyaluronic Concentrate Oil Free, which contains a very high concentration of sodium hyaluronate, an ingredient that provides a boost of hydration while treating and preventing wrinkles. It also helps to restore comfort to sensitive skin, as well as skin with dermatitis and/or rosacea. A soothing, repairing, and firming treatment for oil-prone skin since it does not contain any oil—100% oil-free!

Another top product for the summer is the Bio Serum Vitamin C + E + Ferulic + Hyaluronic Oil Free. The perfect antioxidant booster to fight sun damage, prevent dark spots, and add radiance to the skin.

This organic depigmenting and anti-wrinkle serum contains 10% Vitamin C in its most stable and least irritating form (ascorbyl glucoside), 1% Vitamin E, 0.5% ferulic acid, and 130mg of low molecular weight hyaluronic acid. Indicated for combination-oily and sensitive skin.

The perfect match. Serum for the summer

Both serums are the perfect combo for the proper care and hydration of the face. Our recommendation: apply the Bio Serum Vitamin C + E + Ferulic + Hyaluronic in the morning to prevent skin damage—because yes! Vitamin C and ferulic acid are for the summer!—and the Bio Serum Hyaluronic Concentrate Oil Free after sun exposure to rehydrate and soothe. A true luxury for the skin!
