Vacation is a time to unwind and treat yourself... but it's also a time when our skin is put to the test. Between sun, heat, sea, pool, and cocktails on the terrace, there's plenty to shake it up. Here are the 5 most common mistakes we see every summer... and how to avoid them so you can return home with a radiant, not distressed, complexion.

1. Forgetting to reapply sunscreen 🧴

We know... you put it on in the morning, but if you spend the day outside, between swimming and sweating, it won't last until evening.

💡 Dermadia tip : always keep a small size in your beach bag and reapply every 2 hours, even under a parasol.

2. Over-exfoliate before or during exposure 😬

Want a glowy complexion for the holidays? Stripping your skin right before going out in the sun is a bad idea. This weakens the skin barrier and increases the risk of sunburn and spots.

💡 Dermadia tip : keep gentle exfoliations for the evening, and space them out to once a week.

3. Forgetting to hydrate 💦

Heat, salt, chlorine, and the sun dehydrate the skin. The result: tightness, redness, and small, pronounced fine lines.

💡 Dermadia tip : after each shower, apply a cream rich in ceramides and soothing active ingredients, such as our Hydramelon Duo , to restore and protect.

4. Neglecting to rinse after the sea or the swimming pool 🌊

Salt and chlorine are abrasive to the skin.

💡 Dermadia Tip : Rinse as soon as possible with fresh water and apply a gentle cleanser to remove residue without drying it out.

5. Forgetting some key areas 💋

Lips, eye area, neck, décolleté and even ears are often forgotten... until a surprise sunburn.

💡 Dermadia Tip : Treat these areas like your face. With the right SPF and plenty of moisture, you'll avoid any nasty surprises.

✨ Bottom line: Vacation is for enjoying yourself, not for repairing the damage you've done back to school. Pack a simple but effective routine, and consider your hydration ally to calm, soothe, and protect your skin all summer long.
