Why Summer Skincare Is a Non-Negotiable

The summer months pose unique challenges for your skin. Increased UV exposure, heat, humidity, and sweat can lead to premature aging, hyperpigmentation, breakouts, dehydration, and redness. The sun’s rays can cause irreversible damage, so protective measures are vital. But it’s not just about SPF—summer skincare also involves hydration, calming any irritation, and exfoliating for a fresh, luminous complexion.

 

1. Sun Protection: Your Summer MVP

No skincare routine is complete without a stellar sunscreen. It’s the ultimate barrier against UV damage, including burns, premature aging, and pigmentation.

You will find that our line of high SPF sun care products will be your best summer buddy! Lightweight, hydrating, and non-greasy, they provide broad-spectrum protection that layers well under makeup.  Reapplication is essential—make it a habit every two hours, especially if you’re swimming or sweating.

Pro Tips:

For those lips, try the Sun & Snow Lip Care whish offers SPF protection plus hydration. 

Keep a travel-size sunscreen in your bag or purse—sunscreen application on the go is your secret to protected, glowing skin all summer.

2. Hydrate and Nourish: Your Skin’s Best Friend

Hot weather increases transepidermal water loss—a fancy way of saying your skin gets drier faster. Combat this with hydrating, nourishing products that keep your skin plump and radiant.

The products in the moisturizers section are game-changers.  They combines moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid to quench your skin’s thirst, reduce redness, and leave you with that irresistible glow.

3. Gentle, Effective Cleansing

Sweat, sunscreen, pollution—your skin catches quite a bit during summer. The key is to cleanse thoroughly but gently to avoid stripping your skin’s natural barrier.

All skins are not the same and some require special care ingredients. Head over to the Cleansers and Lotions and you will find a great selection of cleanser and lotion for all skin types.  For gentle make-up remover we highly recommend the Eye Make Up Remover  which is specially formulated for the delicate eye area. 

Pro Tip:

Double cleansing ensures no residue clogs pores or causes breakouts.  You can read more about Double Cleansing in this blog post.

4. Regular Exfoliation for That Summer Glow

Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, smooths texture, and boosts radiance—perfect for a luminous summer complexion. Peelings revitalize dull skin, even the skin tone, and prepare your skin for the upcoming products in your skin care routine.  But don’t overdo it! Once or twice a week is plenty. 

Again,  there are various types of peelings from enzymatic peelings to peeling creams with no granules. All of them can be found in the Peelings section. 

 

Incorporate these targeted treatments into your daily routine for clear, even, summer-ready skin.
