5 Skincare Tips To Save Your Skin This Summer

Skin is dynamic. Just as our skin changes with the seasons, so should our skincare routines. Here are 5 tips you can incorporate into your routine to save your skin this summer.

1. Embrace Facial Mists

We tend to sweat more in the summer, and though it can be tempting to wipe it away with your hands, doing so can lead to bacteria growth. Instead, refresh your skin and prevent the spread of bacteria with a light facial mist.

2. Switch to a Water-Based or Gel Moisturizer

Keep it light! A thin, lightweight water-based moisturizer does not easily bind itself to the skin so won't leave a heavy, sticky feeling. You will find that this type of moisturizer absorbs into the skin quickly and even provides a cooling effect. Be on the lookout for products that contain hyaluronic acid, as this ingredient provides excellent hydration without the weight.

3. Slather on the SPF

This one is a bit of a no-brainer, but needs to be said anyway. Your entire skincare routine and all the fancy actives are useless if you are not using sun protection. Not only the does overexposure to the sun age and damage the skin, but it's also responsible for increasing skin cancer rates. Did you know that your risk for melanoma doubles if you've had more than 5 sunburns in your life? Only one blistering sunburn more than doubles the risk. Keep your skin well-protected this summer.

4. Don't Skip the Cleanser

Since you're more active in the summer and sweating a lot more, it is important to properly cleanse your face at the end of the day to unclog those pores and get rid of impurities. Remember to wash your face all the way up to your hairline. Look for a foaming or gel cleanser.

5. Prevent Hyperpigmentation with Vitamin C

Sitting too long in the sun can lead to skin discoloration known as hyperpigmentation. Sunlight causes the skin to produce extra melanin, which creates patches that appear brown, black, gray, or even pink. It can be costly to get rid of hyperpigmentation (think chemical peels and multiple trips to the dermatologist). However, Vitamin C has been shown to, over time, fade hyperpigmentation and even out skin tone.

If you incorporate Vitamin C into your summer skincare routine, make sure to ALWAYS apply SPF afterwards, as Vitamin C can make the skin more photosensitive.
