Summer Skincare: How to Protect Your Glow in the Heat

Summer Skincare: Protect Your Glow

Summer brings sunshine, beach days, and... extra stress on your skin. Here's how to keep your complexion radiant and healthy all season long.

SPF Is Your Best Friend

UV rays are strongest in summer. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ every morning, and reapply every 2 hours if you're outdoors. Don't forget your neck, ears, and the back of your hands.

Switch to Lighter Formulas

Heavy creams can clog pores in humid weather. Swap your winter moisturizer for a lightweight gel-based one. Use a gentle foaming cleanser to remove excess oil and sweat.

Stay Hydrated Inside and Out

Drink at least 10 glasses of water daily in summer. Use a hydrating mist throughout the day. Hyaluronic acid serums are perfect for lightweight, non-greasy hydration.

After-Sun Care

Even with sunscreen, your skin needs after-sun care. Apply aloe vera gel to soothe, and use a vitamin C serum at night to repair sun damage and maintain your glow.
