BEFORE THE EXPOSURE TO THE SUN
1. Perform a deep exfoliation
Before exposing yourself to the sun, a week before or three days before sun exposure it is advisable to prepare the skin through an exfoliation. In our aesthetic center in Barcelona we offer professional body exfoliation treatments.
This process involves the removal of the superficial layer of the epidermis. This removes dead cells and dirt and makeup residue.
Thanks to the body exfoliation, skin tissues are oxygenated and cell renewal is favored leaving the skin soft and silky. In addition, circulation is stimulated and the skin appears immediately brighter and healthier.
