Summer is officially here, and it’s time to get outside more and touch some grass- but first we gotta make sure our skin can handle the heat. With each change in season, our skincare routine must change too to keep our skin happy, healthy, and glowing all year around. Whether you’re a lay on the beach type or prefer a hot girl walk, here’s a breakdown of the must-dos for summer skincare and some tips to feel fresh and protected under the summer sun!

Exfoliate Away the Sweat

Our skin works overtime in summer, producing more sweat and oil, which can clog pores. Regular exfoliation removes this buildup, allowing your skin to breathe and absorb sunscreen more effectively. Use a gentle exfoliator 1-2 times a week to avoid overdoing it.

Don’t Skip Hydration

Even in humid weather, your skin faces challenges like heat, sun exposure, chlorine, and saltwater, all of which can strip away moisture. Opt for lightweight, hydrating creams and soothing sheet masks to replenish and maintain your skin’s moisture barrier. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides for a hydration boost.

Stay Protected

Now more than ever, it's essential to protect your skin from the sun's harsh UV rays. Make sure to include SPF50+ Broad Spectrum (PA++++) in your daily skincare routine and reapply every two hours to keep your skin safe while you enjoy the sun!

Summer Makeup Faves

Let your skin breathe this summer with makeup that feels light yet stays put! Swap heavy foundations for lightweight base products like BB creams or tinted moisturisers, and opt for water-resistant mascara to avoid looking like a panda at then end of a day of heat and water activities. Finish with a setting spray to lock in your fresh, radiant look all day long.

Hello, Aloe!

Ok I get it, sometimes you accidentally get a little too much sun no matter how careful you are. But don’t worry, aloe is here to save the day! This natural ingredient soothes and calms sun-exposed skin while delivering a boost of hydration. Keep an aloe gel handy for an instant solution, or soak up an aloe face mask to relax your skin at the end of the day.

Get ready to embrace summer with glowing, healthy skin! A little prep goes a long way, so stick to these tips and enjoy the sunshine with confidence. Ready to upgrade your routine? You know where to find us x
