Top 10 Summer Skincare Tips and Trends
Summer is the season for fun in the sun, but it can also be tough on your skin. The heat and humidity can cause dryness, sunburn, and breakouts. To keep your skin looking its best, follow these key skincare tips and stay up to date with the latest trends.
Our Top 10 Summer Skincare Tips and Trends
1. Use Sunscreen
One of the most important things you can do to protect your skin in summer is wear sunscreen daily. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against UVA and UVB rays. Our Complete Defense SPF 40 leaves skin illuminated and hydrated. Apply liberally to all exposed areas at least 30 minutes before going outside, and reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating.
2. Hydrate Your Skin
Summer heat can dehydrate your skin, so lightweight, oil-free moisturization is essential. Browse our moisturizers collection for a formula that won’t clog pores and keeps skin hydrated throughout the day. Apply after cleansing and toning.
3. Exfoliate Regularly
Exfoliating removes dead skin cells and helps unclog pores, which can help prevent breakouts. Use a gentle exfoliant like our Pomegranate Enzyme Polish or a chemical exfoliant like the Micropeel Resurfacing Pads once or twice a week.
4. Use a Hydrating Mask
If your skin is feeling dehydrated, use a hydrating mask once a week. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and glycerin. Browse our exfoliants & peels collection for mask options that hydrate and revitalize your complexion.
5. Keep Your Skin Cool
Summer heat can make skin feel uncomfortable and irritated. Use a facial mist or toner throughout the day to keep 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 soothe and calm skin.
6. Use a Vitamin C Serum
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun. Use a Vitamin C serum daily to brighten and protect your complexion. Browse our serums collection for the right option for your skin.
7. Protect Your Lips
Your lips can become dry and cracked during summer, so protecting them is essential. Look for a lip balm that contains SPF and apply throughout the day to keep lips hydrated and protected from the sun.
8. Stay Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water is essential for your overall health and your skin. When you’re dehydrated, skin can become dry and dull. Aim for at least eight glasses of water daily to keep your skin looking and feeling its best.
9. Go Natural
Natural skincare products are increasingly popular — and for good reason. Many natural ingredients like aloe vera and botanical extracts are effective at hydrating and protecting the skin. Our Organiglo clean beauty line is a great place to start.
10. Embrace Minimalism
One of the biggest skincare trends for summer is minimalism. Instead of a long list of products, focus on a few essentials that work well for your skin. This simplifies your routine and saves time and money.
