Taking care of you skin during summer is very important to maintain a healthy and flawless skin. Having a proper summer skincare routine is essential to protect your skin from the sun burn, excess heat, and increased humidity. Here are some suggested summer skincare routine:
1. Cleanse Twice a Day:
Cleanse your face twice a day ( Morning & Evening).Look for a cleanser that suits your skin type (oily, dry, combination) and helps remove dirt, excess oil, and impurities without stripping away natural oils. Don't forget to cleanse your skin especially before applying any skincare products and before going to the bed.
2.Exfoliate Regularly:
Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and promotes a smoother complexion. Use a gentle exfoliator or chemical exfoliant 2-3 times a week to avoid over-exfoliating and irritating your skin. This step can also improve the absorption of other skincare products.
3. Hydrating Toner:
After cleansing, apply a hydrating toner to replenish moisture and balance the pH level of your skin. Look for toners with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or rose water to provide hydration and soothe the skin.
4. Lightweight Moisturizer:
Opt for a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer that suits your skin type. Summer heat can make your skin produce more oil, so choose a moisturizer that hydrates without feeling heavy or greasy. Apply it after toning to lock in moisture.
5. Sunscreen is a Must:
Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, even on cloudy days. Choose a sunscreen that offers protection against UVA and UVB rays. Reapply every two hours, especially if you're spending time outdoors or swimming. Don't forget to cover all exposed areas, including your face, neck, ears, and hands.
6. Eye Cream:
The delicate skin around the eyes is susceptible to sun damage and dehydration. Use an eye cream or gel specifically formulated for the eye area to keep it moisturized and reduce the appearance of fine lines and dark circles.
7. Lip Care:
Just like your skin, your lips want to be protected from Sun.Protect your lips from sunburn and dryness by applying a lip balm with SPF. Look for ingredients like shea butter or coconut oil to keep your lips moisturized and nourished.
8. Stay Hydrated:
Remember to drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from within.
9. Avoid Heavy Makeup:
In hot and humid weather, heavy makeup can clog your pores and lead to breakouts. Opt for a lightweight tinted moisturizer or a BB cream instead of heavy foundation. If you want to wear makeup, choose water-based or mineral-based products that are more breathable for your skin.
10. Night time Skincare Routine:
In the evening, follow the same cleansing routine as in the morning. You can incorporate a serum or a lightweight night cream with ingredients like antioxidants or hyaluronic acid to repair and hydrate your skin while you sleep.
Remember, everyone's skin is different, so adjust the routine according to your skin's needs and sensitivity. Consulting a dermatologist can also help you customize a summer skincare routine that suits your skin type and concerns.
