Skincare in Athens
Natural skincare for Athens
Athens – cradle of civilization with modern skin challenges. Intense sun, urban smog, and extreme summer heat. Free shipping over €60.
What Athens does to your skin
Athens has one of Europe's most intense combinations of sun and pollution. UV radiation is strong from March to October, and the city is surrounded by mountains that trap exhaust fumes and smog in a basin-like pattern – the famous 'nefos'. Summers regularly reach forty degrees.
Air conditioning is a necessity but brutally dries out the skin. Athens' water quality varies depending on the neighborhood.
Skincare tips for Athens residents
UV protection year-round
Athens' sun is brutal. Protect yourself daily – it's non-negotiable.
Walk early in the National Garden
Avoid the heat. Morning walks offer fresh air and shade.
Greek Mediterranean diet
Olive oil, feta, fish, vegetables – the Greek diet is one of the world's best for the skin.
Constant hydration
Athens summers demand at least two and a half liters of water daily.
