Summer: Protection and Hydration

In the summer, your skin is exposed to higher temperatures, increased UV radiation and possibly higher humidity. This can lead to moisture loss, pigment spots, clogged pores and accelerated skin aging. The focus in the summer is on sun protection, light hydration and preventing blemishes.

Skin care in summer

  • Daily sun protection – Use a broad spectrum SPF 30 or higher and reapply every two hours, especially during sun exposure.
  • Light moisturizers – Switch to oil-free, hydrating creams with hyaluronic acid or niacinamide to prevent pore clogging.
  • Extra hydration – Serums with hyaluronic acid and glycerin help prevent moisture loss due to heat and sun.
  • Antioxidants such as vitamins C and E – Protect the skin from free radical damage and help prevent pigment spots.
  • Gentle Cleansing – Use a gentle, foaming cleanser to remove excess oil and sweat without drying out the skin.
  • Soothing ingredients – Aloe vera, panthenol and green tea extract help soothe skin after sun exposure.

Common Summer Skin Problems

  • Sun Damage and Pigmentation – Exposure to UV rays can lead to premature skin aging and uneven skin tone. Always wear SPF and apply vitamin C in the morning.
  • Oily skin and clogged pores – Heat and humidity can increase sebum production. Lightweight, noncomedogenic products and exfoliation with BHAs (like salicylic acid) help keep pores clear.
  • Dehydration – Sun and air conditioning can strip your skin of moisture. Hydrate with light, water-based serums and mists.
  • Skin irritation and sunburn – Soothe sunburned skin with soothing and moisturizing ingredients like panthenol and allantoin.

Keeping your skin well protected and hydrated during the summer will help prevent damage and keep your complexion fresh and radiant
