Essential Ingredients to Look for in Creams, Masks, and Serums
During the summer, issues like vitamin and oxygen deficiency in the skin become less relevant. However, a special care routine is essential to maintain a healthy, radiant complexion despite the heat. This routine should eliminate dullness, preserve a natural glow, and protect against the harmful effects of UV rays.
Our experts share which ingredients will help keep your skin healthy during this period.
Antioxidants, vitamins and amino acids:
what our skin needs in the summer
Firstly, during the summer, antioxidants are crucial for our skin, especially:
SOD (Superoxide Dismutase)
This antioxidant provides powerful and rapid skin regeneration. Found in creams or serums, it aids in repairing damage from intense sun exposure and micro-injuries caused by exposure to salty sea water and chlorinated pool water.

Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a star among antioxidants, but not all forms are equally beneficial for the skin. For instance, its fat-soluble forms are four times more effective than water-soluble ones and cause less irritation.
These potent antioxidants, combined with Vitamin E and Vitamin A, not only improve the skin's appearance in the short term but most importantly, support its health over the long term.
For quality summer skincare, a moisturizing antioxidant serum containing Vitamins A, C, and E from the Vital C collection is recommended. Extracts of rose petals and red wine provide maximum antioxidant protection, preventing the early signs of aging.
Enhancing Skin Vitality with Amino Acids and Vital C Hydrating Overnight Masque
During the warm season, amino acids play a crucial role in maintaining skin health. They are fundamental components of proteins necessary for skin rejuvenation, immune support, and defense against free radicals. Amino acids are pivotal in ensuring optimal skin quality while effectively preventing and delaying signs of aging. An effective nighttime companion in achieving these benefits is the Vital C Hydrating Overnight Masque by IMAGE Skincare.
This overnight face masque is formulated to deeply hydrate and replenish the skin while you sleep, utilizing potent antioxidants and vitamins to nourish and protect against environmental stressors. Its rich, creamy texture absorbs well, leaving the skin feeling soft, supple, and revitalized come morning. Incorporating the Vital C Hydrating Overnight Masque into your skincare routine helps maintain a radiant complexion, combating the effects of summer heat and ensuring your skin stays youthful and resilient.
Vital Sun Protection: The Role of SPF and IMAGE Skincare Daily Prevention
And most importantly—sunscreen: you can't step outside without it! The variety of physical filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide), chemical filters (octisalate, octocrylene), antioxidant, and moisturizing components in the formula not only protect against ultraviolet radiation but also prevent aging, pigmentation, and melanoma development. Quality face sunscreen products from the Daily Prevention series are designed for these purposes, allowing everyone to choose a suitable product.
