Summer is the season for fun in the sun, but it can also be tough on your skin. The heat and humidity can cause various skin issues, including dryness, sunburn, and breakouts. To keep your skin looking its best during the summer months, it’s essential to follow a few key skincare tips and stay up to date with the latest trends.

Here are our top 10 summer skincare tips and trends that work:

  1. Use Sunscreen

One of the most important things you can do to protect your skin during the summer is sunscreen. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against UVA and UVB rays. Our Complete Defense SPF 40 is a game-changer! This sunscreen smells like watermelon and leaves your skin illuminated and hydrated. Apply it liberally to all exposed areas of skin, including your face, neck, arms, and legs, at least 30 minutes before going outside. Reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating.

 2. Hydrate Your Skin

The heat and humidity of summer can cause your skin to become dehydrated, so it’s essential to keep it moisturized. Look for lightweight, oil-free moisturizers that won’t clog your pores. The Super Antioxidant Peptide Creme is perfect for daily moisture and is full of skin brighteners. Apply it after cleansing and toning your skin to keep it hydrated throughout the day.

  3. Exfoliate Regularly

Exfoliating your skin regularly is essential all year round, but it’s imperative during the summer. Exfoliating removes dead skin cells and helps to unclog pores, which can help prevent breakouts. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub like our Pomegranate Enzyme Polish or a chemical exfoliant like the Micropeel Resurfacing Pads once or twice a week to keep your skin looking its best.

  4. Use a Hydrating Mask

If your skin is feeling dehydrated, consider using a hydrating mask once a week. Look for hydrating masks that contain ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and glycerin, which can help to boost your skin’s hydration levels and leave it feeling soft and smooth. Try our Radiant Rose Peptide Firming Mask. This mask smells divine and will leave your skin hydrated a glowing!

  5. Keep Your Skin Cool

Summer heat can make your skin feel uncomfortable and irritated, especially if you have sensitive skin. Use a facial mist or toner throughout the day to keep your skin cool and calm. We recommend the Recharge Vita-C & Peptide Toning Mist. You can also place a cold towel on your face for a few minutes to help soothe and calm your skin.

  6. Use a Vitamin C Serum

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can help to protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun. Consider using a vitamin C serum daily to help brighten and protect your skin during the day.

  7. Protect Your Lips

Your lips can become dry and cracked during the summer, so protecting them is essential. Look for a lip balm that contains SPF and apply it throughout the day to keep your lips hydrated and protected from the sun.

  8. Stay Hydrated

Drinking plenty of water is essential for your overall health and skin. When you’re dehydrated, your skin can become dry and dull. Drink at least eight glasses of water daily to keep your skin looking and feeling its best.

  9. Go Natural

Natural skincare products are becoming increasingly popular and for good reason. Many natural ingredients, like aloe vera and coconut oil, are effective at hydrating and protecting the skin. Consider incorporating natural products into your skincare routine to help keep your skin looking and feeling its best.

  10. Embrace Minimalism

Finally, one of the biggest skincare trends for the summer is minimalism. Instead of using a long list of products, focus on a few essential products that work well for your skin. This can simplify your routine and save you time and money.
