Back-to-school routine: our essentials to prolong summer's radiance
Back-to-school time is here, and for many of you, the vacations are over. It's high time to take care of your skin as you return from vacation and into autumn! After a long period of summer relaxation, it's essential to put in place the right skincare routine to prolong summer's radiance. In this article, we present our tips and tricks for an effective, easy-to-follow back-to-school routine.
Double cleansing, the basis of every beauty routine
The first essential step in your back-to-school routine is double cleansing. This method involves cleansing your skin in two stages to ensure deep cleansing and eliminate all impurities accumulated during the day. Forget micellar water and conventional cleansing milks, and opt instead for a cleansing oil or balm, perfect for dissolving stubborn make-up and all impurities.
After cleansing with oil or balm, follow with a cleansing foam or gel to ensure flawless skin and prepare your face for subsequent skin care products. This double cleansing step boosts the effectiveness of subsequent treatments by eliminating all residual impurities, leaving skin perfectly clean and supple. Tip: if your skin feels tight after cleansing, your cleanser may be too aggressive - choose a gentler one!
Exfoliation to prolong radiance
Exfoliation is an essential step in prolonging your skin's radiance after the summer. In addition to restoring your complexion's radiance, exfoliation also helps to get rid of imperfections and refine skin texture, which is often thickened. after sun exposure. For dull skin prone to blemishes, signs of aging or acne, choose an exfoliant containing AHA-BHA.
My AHA-BHA exfoliator recommendation
Paula's Choice best-selling 2% BHA liquid exfoliant. Use in moderation to avoid sensitizing or even burning the skin, and preferably in the evening. Use 1 or 2 times a week if you're not used to it, applying just a few drops to a small cotton pad.

Vitamin C, star of radiance
Incorporate vitamin C into your back-to-school routine to boost your skin's radiance. Vitamin C is an antioxidant-rich ingredient, making it a wise choice for urban skin exposed to pollution. Vitamin C helps prevent the signs of aging caused by free radicals and diminishes the appearance of wrinkles and spots. It also gives your dull complexion a boost, restoring radiance and luminosity.
My recommendation for vitamin C serum
The radiance boosting C-Capsule serum from Make:Prem. A jewel in its formulation, I find it very moisturizing since it contains glycerine and hyaluronic acid, it's soothing thanks to panthenol, and it contains traxenamic acid and arbutin, essential ingredients for treating spots already present. The texture is fluid and super-light, and the pump packaging makes application easy.
A moisturizing cream for daily radiance
For nourished skin every day, it's essential to deeply moisturize your skin. Choose a moisturizing cream suited to your skin type. Don't forget to apply your moisturizer morning and night, gently massaging it into your face and neck. This essential step helps to deeply nourish your skin and maintain its natural radiance.
My moisturizer recommendation:
Holika Holika's Good Cera cream, formulated with a ceramide complex, beta-glucan, shea butter and aloe vera, to deeply nourish skin and lock in moisture for longer.
Make-up for a healthy glow
For a healthy glow, don't hesitate to use make-up to enhance your natural radiance. If you prefer a natural, tanned complexion, opt for a matte bronzing powder to warm up your complexion. Apply it lightly to the areas where the sun naturally touches your face for a natural, sun-kissed effect. To add a touch of color to your cheeks, use a powder blush. Sweep the brush lightly over your cheekbones for a fresh, rosy effect.
Finally, to sublimate your tanned complexion after the vacations, don't hesitate to use a foundation or bb cream a shade darker than the one you usually use. A healthy glow guaranteed!
