Yes, summer time is here! It will bring about a lot of changes in your daily routine-use of soft cotton materials for clothing, beautiful slip-ons and sandals instead of shoes and increase in intake of cold drinks and chilled coffees and teas- While these are easier to handle, summer also brings a whole host of skin care issues too. Skin gets extra oily, may become patchy, rashes may appear due to exposure to sun and your skin may get more prone to acne and pimples.
While summer sun can be harsh on the skin and may result in occasional sun burns, the UV rays can also accelerate some common signs of skin aging like fine lines, wrinkles, age spots and sagging skin. Take care of your skin to foster your most beautiful summer skin all season long by following the best skin regimen for the hot, sunny months ahead.
The best skin care regimen this season will include cleansing and moisturizing in the morning and night and regular exfoliation with products formulated with glycolic acid and achieving the look that you have summer skin that is not only glowing, but protected and nourished too!
Cleansing twice daily
In hot and humid weather, your skin may experience more oil than usual. You also may find that you sweat more now compared to previous spring months that were on the milder side. The best skin care regimen to help keep summer skin matte, yet moisturized, should include cleansing twice daily with a foaming or gel-based face wash. First thing in the morning, wash away oil and sweat that can build up on your skin’s surface overnight. And, before bed, remove makeup and then cleanse your skin with your regular face wash.
Exfoliating regularly
Your summer skin can produce excess oil, but it can also look dry and dull if you don’t exfoliate regularly. Exfoliating regularly is a part of the best skin care regimen for summer, because you can help foster the look of naturally glowing skin. Exfoliating cream/lotion with glycolic acid will not only help dissolve away excess oil, but also the pile up of dead skin cells on skin’s surface that can cause the look of dull, lackluster skin.
Using daytime moisturizer with SPF
Consider looking for a lightweight moisturizing formula that will absorb quickly. A heavy day cream can mix with the sweat and oil that collects on your skin’s surface throughout the day. Also, your daytime moisturizer should protect your skin with broad spectrum SPF protection. You’ll want to shield your summer skin from both UVA and UVB rays so that it is better protected from burns and some skin aging factors.
Moisturizing at night
Replenish skin with a concentrated dose of hydration while you sleep. Consider trying a face cream formulated with aloe water, the hydrating ingredient can deliver much-needed moisture to summer skin that has been out in the sun.
