Summer Skin Tips

Summer Skin Tips

As the temperature rises and the days get longer, our skin requires special care to stay healthy and glowing. Here are some essential tips to keep your skin protected, hydrated, and radiant all summer long.

Serums

Including antioxidants such as vitamin C and hydrators like hyaluronic acid in your skincare routine is crucial. These ingredients protect your skin from free radicals, including UV rays, and keep it hydrated during the hot summer months.

Sun Protection

We recommend staying away from chemical sunscreens, as their active ingredients are often not clean. Instead, opt for sunblocks formulated with non-nano zinc oxide. Additionally, consider using stylish visors from De La Heart to increase your skin protection and prevent sunburn and hyperpigmentation.

Summer Moisturizer

Even though it's humid and hot, you still need to hydrate your skin. Switch to a lighter moisturizer to keep your skin balanced and avoid the greasy feeling.

Stay Away from Harsh Exfoliants

Avoid using glycolic acid, retinol products, harsh peels, or any other acids that may increase sun sensitivity. Even if you use sunblock, the sun's strength can still cause hyperpigmentation. If you want to exfoliate, choose a low-percentage lactic acid or a very gentle physical exfoliant.

Acne and Heat

For those with acne-prone skin, the combination of sweat and increased oil production during warmer weather can lead to more breakouts. To prevent this, double cleanse at night and the restorative tonic mist from January Labs, handy. This mist will keep your skin hydrated and contains witch hazel, which helps kill acne-causing bacteria. Spritz it a couple of times a day to keep bacteria at bay.

Body Care

A healthy tan looks great in the summer, but keeping your skin very hydrated is crucial to maintaining it. I like mixing oil with my moisturizer. If you're on vacation and want to add some shimmer for a night out, try the Aphrodisiac Glow Body Oil from The Golden Secrets. It adds a natural golden shimmer to the body with a subtle jasmine scent.

By following these tips, you can enjoy sun-kissed skin while keeping it protected and hydrated.
