01 : Clear Toxins

With the summer heat, humidity, and outdoor activities, your skin tends to sweat more, leading to a buildup of impurities. Increased sweat can also boost oil production, potentially causing breakouts and clogged pores. To combat this, cleanse your face twice daily and double cleanse in the evening to remove sunscreen, makeup, and environmental pollutants. 

Pro Tip: During summer, avoid exfoliating cleansers that might strip your skin oils. Instead, opt for a lightweight cleanser that soothes and hydrates. 

02: Nourish

Summer sun exposure can lead to hyperpigmentation, sunspots, and premature aging. To protect your skin, follow up cleansing with a tonic lotion or serum rich in antioxidants like Vitamin C, niacinamide, or hyaluronic acid. These ingredients help counteract sun damage and brighten your complexion. Tailor this step to address your specific skin needs.

03: Hydrate

For an efficient morning routine, consider an all-in-one tinted moisturizer. Even if your skin feels oilier in summer, skipping moisturizer is not the answer.  Summers bring increased humidity; the intense heat and overuse of air conditioning can strip your skin of its natural oils. This can lead to dehydration, making your skin feel tight, dry, and uncomfortable, and sometimes even prompting it to produce excess oil. Moisturizing is essential for maintaining a healthy moisture balance, shielding your skin from environmental stressors, and keeping your complexion supple and resilient.

04: cool

Complete your summer skincare routine with a cooling face mask to soothe your skin after sun exposure. Ingredients like watermelon, aloe vera, and cucumber are renowned for their calming properties.
