Summer Skin Care: 5 Essential Tips
Summer’s UV rays and humidity can challenge your skin, but these tips will help keep it healthy and glowing.
1. Sun Safety
Apply sunscreen (SPF 30+) every two hours, even on cloudy days. Avoid sun exposure from 10 am to 2 pm. Cool off with a shower after sun exposure and use aloe vera for sunburns.
2. Hydration and Moisturization
Drink plenty of water—104 ounces for men and 72 ounces for women daily. Switch to lighter moisturizers to keep your skin hydrated without feeling greasy.
3. Gentle Cleansing
Wash your face more often with foaming or gel-based cleansers to remove sweat and sunscreen. Pair with a light moisturizer to maintain natural oils.
4. Antioxidants in Skincare
Incorporate antioxidants like Vitamin C, Niacinamide, and Vitamin E into your routine to slow aging and reduce sun damage.
5. Cooling Ingredients
Use products with cucumber, peppermint, or aloe vera. Store them in the fridge for a refreshing effect.
Managing Sweat and Oil
Change out of sweaty clothes quickly and choose lightweight cotton clothing. Wash hats regularly to prevent breakouts.
Specific Skin Concerns
Acne: Blot sweat and wash headbands and towels frequently.
Dry Skin: Limit AC use at night and take cooler showers.
