Top 5 Skincare Tips You Should Adopt This Summer!
Yes!
Summer is that special time of the year when we are most likely to spend much time under the sun for vacations, beach time, pool parties, picnics, and so much more. The season is mainly known for longer daylight hours and hot, dry or humid weather.
Adjusting your skincare routine based on the changing weather is best recommended. What you use during winter may not be suitable during summer. Interestingly, this is where many get confused and where we come in.
We understand how confused you may be regarding what you should change in your skin care regimen as we approach the hot summer months. Join us in this article as we deep-dive into the top five ways to protect your skin from the hot weather.
Let’s take it away!
1. Switch to Lightweight, Water-based Moisturizers
You will likely sweat more frequently with the increasing temperatures and hot weather. Hence, avoid heavy or oil-based moisturizers to prevent suffocating your skin pores.
Using a lightweight moisturizer is highly recommended because it locks moisture on the skin without causing so much sweat that it will clog the pores. Lightweight moisturizers are usually water-based with less oil content, so they are light on the skin.
We recommend our Carrot Moisturizer or Control Serum PH 5.5. These products are water-based and are less likely to block your skin pores. They provide hydration in the right amount your skin needs to appear at its best.
2. Apply Sunblock Each Morning
Due to longer daylight hours and the scorching sun during summer, this is a step you should never miss in your routine. Exposure to UV rays without sunscreen can trigger signs of premature aging or skin cancer in severe cases.
To avoid sunburn, redness or damage, we highly recommend our Sunblock SPF 50. Unlike other sunscreens, this product provides 24-hour sun protection. What does that mean? It doesn’t need to be reapplied at intervals. Once you apply it before leaving in the morning, it can protect your skin all through the day. That way, you pack lighter.
3. Adopt Vitamin and Antioxidant Rich Products
Harsh or hot weather during summer can trigger oxidative stress on the skin, causing premature aging signs and other skin problems. Hence, this is why the skin needs antioxidant-rich products.
Antioxidants improve the skin by reducing the effect of UVA and UVB rays from the sun. They also enhance collagen and elastin production necessary for keeping the skin firm and elastic. Ingredients such as Vitamins, green tea extract or niacinamide can effectively neutralize free radicals and boost the skin barrier.
Therefore, we recommend our Vitamin C from the Sea Cream and the Green Tea & Mineral Gold Day Cream. These products are highly enriched with the ingredients mentioned above.
4. Exfoliate As Needed
Due to the high tendency to sweat more often in summer, ensure to exfoliate at least once a week or as long as your skin can handle to remove impurities that may have clogged your pores.
To be safer, we advise using gentle scrubs or home-use chemical exfoliants to remove those dead skin cells or dirt from your pores. In severe cases, you may need to book an appointment with your esthetician for more intense exfoliation.
Have you ever used our home-use gentle exfoliator? These are exfoliating products you can use at your home convenience. Check the collection on our website and make your choice today.
5. Protect Your Eyes and Lips
Sometimes, we pay attention to our skin and forget that our lips and eyes are susceptible to sun damage. Please note this, dry and hot summers can cause dehydration, thereby triggering the appearance of dark circles around the eyes.
Try our Vitamin C & Mineral Gold Eye Cream to protect your eyes. This product is formulated with ingredients necessary for protecting delicate eye areas. You can also seek moisturizing lip balm to prevent unnecessary water loss from your lips.
In Conclusion
Staying hydrated and applying sunblock is one step you should never miss this summer. If you spend much time under the sun, drink water often and wear protective clothing like hats and sunglasses.
Then, don’t forget during summer, the skin is more vulnerable to skin problems associated with clogged pores and sun damage, such as acne, hyperpigmentation, sun spots, etc. Hence, this is a crucial time to get serious with your routine.
