As the weather warms up and the sun begins to shine, we're all rightfully starting to plan vacations, whether short or long. Whether it's a two-day getaway or a two-week vacation, skin care shouldn't be neglected; take precautions from the outset, prepare accordingly, and even better, ask an expert first. 

Dermoskin , a pioneer in the dermatological cosmetics industry for twenty years with its expertise and pharmacist formulations, has compiled for you the essential care products that should be in your holiday bag.

1. Summer bag essentials: Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen 

Summer sun not only makes you long for a vacation, it also causes skin damage. That's why the first product you add to your summer bag should be a broad-spectrum sunscreen. When choosing a sunscreen suitable for your skin type, make sure it has at least SPF 50 and offers extra care properties. Here are a few suggestions from Dermoskin sunscreens that protect and care for your skin:

Ultra Face Protection Gel Cream 97

This gel-format sunscreen, one of Dermoskin's most popular sunscreen products, stands out for its powerful skin protection, protection against DNA damage, strengthening the skin barrier, and supporting healthy tissue formation through epidermal cell protection. Developed for normal to dry skin, this cream is particularly popular with clients who have a history of melanoma, those who have undergone laser or peel treatments, or those with extremely sensitive skin.

Acnmat Face Protection Gel Cream

If you have oily skin, acne, or are undergoing treatment with isotretinoin, you can rely on Acnmat sun protection. Its oil-free formula, containing AHA esters, won't cause acne. In addition to sun protection, it also offers DNA protection. It strengthens the skin's barrier and soothes sensitivity by providing intense moisture.

Be Bright Pigmentyl Sun Protection Cream 

Türkiye's first sun protection cream containing tranexamic acid, Pigmentyl, has a powerful effect in preventing blemishes and lightening existing ones. It is particularly recommended for those with blemished or blemish-prone skin, those undergoing blemish treatment, and those undergoing clinical procedures related to blemishes.

Sensitive UV Protection Cream

Formulated for extremely sensitive skin types with low sun tolerance, this product contains high-protection UV and blue light filters. Its precious extracts strengthen the skin barrier and support moisture retention. Its antioxidant properties help regenerate the skin and protect it from hypersensitivity. 

Be Bright Sun Protection Serum

This broad-spectrum, powerful filtered sunscreen serum is especially recommended for preventing pigmentation after liposomal serum applications. Its precious extracts and powerful antioxidants help soothe and regenerate skin, and reduce the effects of premature aging. If you're looking for a sunscreen to complement your anti-aging routine, congratulations! You've found it.

2. Your skin dries in summer: Moisturizing Care

Increased sweating and UV exposure during the summer months can cause skin to lose moisture. Spending time in air-conditioned environments, in particular, exacerbates dryness. The key to keeping skin hydrated is creams with powerful moisturizing ingredients and ingredients that support the skin barrier and prevent moisture loss. Dermoskin has two excellent suggestions for this:

Ato Cica Exosome Moisturizing Cream

Cica Exosome, the new superpower in dermocosmetics! Far more effective than traditional cica products, the exosome form provides long-lasting effects. Ato Cica Exosome Moisturizer, with its botanical exosomes and precious extracts, uniquely soothes, moisturizes, restructures, and cares for skin discoloration and irritation. It's also worth noting that exosomes have proven effects on skin rejuvenation, anti-aging, and repair.

Ato Probiotic Balm

This balm, which you can use to moisturize dry skin after sun exposure and repair damaged barrier layers, also helps control inflammation with its high content of shea butter. It also provides relief from post-sun redness, sensitivity, and itching.

3. Fighting blemishes without peeling the skin: Arbutin Effect

Sun exposure, which begins in spring and is combined with the effects of summer, increases the risk of hyperpigmentation . While blemish care is generally associated with the fall and winter months, it can be achieved year-round with the right products. Arbutin, an active ingredient that combats blemishes without stripping the skin, is one of the most effective ingredients in this regard. Here are Dermoskin's recommendations:

Be Bright Arbutin Complex Cream

Its alpha arbutin content suppresses the tyrosinase enzyme required for melanin production, preventing the formation of new spots and lightening existing ones. In addition to its tone-correcting and skin-brightening properties, the precious essences it contains moisturize the skin and help prevent acne, blemishes, and wrinkles. For daytime use, it's highly recommended to apply concealer Be Bright SPF 50+ Liquid Foundation or Dermoskin Ultra Face Protection 97 sunscreen to protect skin from photodamage.

Be Bright Arbutin Complex Serum

This serum, with its alpha arbutin, liposomal vitamin C, and niacinamide, helps reduce and lighten the appearance of blemishes and even out skin tone. It also provides long-lasting hydration and anti-aging care with hyaluronic acid and panthenol. It's also important to note that for daytime use, sunscreen should be applied 20 minutes after serum application.

4. Sensitive area: Lip and Eye Contour Care

The skin around your lips and eyes is the thinnest, so it wears out more quickly in the summer. SPF-containing lip balms and eye creams should be a staple in every bag, not just your holiday bag.

Lip Care Lip Care 

This set, consisting of two products—one with and one without sunscreen—will help you protect and moisturize your lips day and night. Lip Care Stick SPF 30 protects your lips from the sun's harmful effects, while Lip Care Stick For Dry Skin provides the care your dry lips need.

Eye Treatment 

Dermoskin Eye Care Cream, formulated with hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and precious plant extracts, soothes dry eye contours with intense moisture while strengthening the skin barrier. Eye Treatment, which helps eliminate facial wrinkles by boosting natural collagen production, is a must-have in your bag to protect your eye area from free radical damage thanks to its powerful antioxidants.

5. Time to protect your hair: Frequent Washing Shampoo

Daily activities, external factors, and sunlight increase the buildup of dirt and sebum on the scalp, leading many people to feel the need to wash their hair more frequently during the summer months. However, frequent washing can disrupt hair's natural balance and lead to dryness or sensitivity over time. When packing your vacation bag, it's a good idea to include a shampoo that meets your hair's summer needs.

Biotin Shampoo

Available in two varieties for men and women, Biotin Shampoo supports hair and scalp health with its biotin and antioxidant extracts. It helps prevent hair loss, add volume, promote healthy growth, and maintain well-groomed hair, especially in frequently washed hair. 

6. Your nails also have a holiday: Nail Care

With the arrival of summer, open-toed shoes, enjoying the sea and pool, and manicure and pedicure routines have become a part of our lives. Unfortunately, the intense effects of sun, salt water, chlorine, and chemicals also put a strain on our nails. Artificial nails, frequent nail polish use, and contact with cleaning products can cause nails to dry, thin, crack, and stain. Here's a small but powerful helper for your nail care:

N-Balsam Nail Care Cream

This cream, with its special formula, accelerates the growth of diminishing nails and strengthens cracked and thinning nails. It restores elasticity and shine by regulating moisture balance, and protects nails from the effects of chemicals like detergents, acetone, and artificial nail adhesives by creating a barrier. It helps eliminate stains, flaking, and dryness on the nail surface. This wonderful cream, recommended for psoriasis patients and also helps to grow damaged nails without causing ingrown nails, is recommended by dermatologists.

7. Cleanse your skin from filters: Cleansers

It's essential to remove the filters you apply to protect your skin from the sun during the day at night. You can remove water-based, gel-based sunscreens with water-based face washes and toners. When removing oil-based sunscreens, you need a two-phase cleanse. Dermoskin recommends cica-containing products:

Ato Cleansing Oil

This plant-based cleansing oil, perfect for the first step of a two-phase cleansing routine, is massaged in to dissolve sunscreen, makeup, and natural oils accumulated throughout the day. Its prebiotic extracts and allantoin soothe the skin, while niacinamide helps moisturize. 

Facial Cleansing Foam 

In the second step, you can use the Facial Wash Foam to remove dirt and debris from the deeper layers of the skin. Containing active ingredients that help strengthen the skin barrier, give skin a vibrant, smooth appearance, and moisturize, this foam holds the ECOCERT certification, certifying that the cleansing agents used in its formulation comply with ecological and organic standards. It is safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
