Take Care of Your Skin This Summer

Hooray for Summer!

Now that we’re truly into the summer season, what’s not to love! This is the time of year to spend outside with your friends and loved ones enjoying the warm air and long, lazy evenings. You’ll probably be spending more time out adventuring and less inside your home or office. Unfortunately that may mean changes for your skin.

What to Watch Out For

During this time of year, your skin may produce more sebum, especially around the T-zone, due to humidity or increased temperatures. Increased sun exposure may also lead to signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. You may also experience an increase in rosacea or rashes due to heat or clogged pores due from sunscreen, chlorine, or particles like dust or pollen in the air. Lucky for you, we’ve put together a guide to our best products for summer to keep you looking as good as you feel throughout the longer days and all year round.

Cleanse: Cleansing may be the most important part of your summer routine. In the morning, it’s essential to remove impurities and sweat that may build up during warmer nights. In the evening, cleansing removes the day’s makeup, sunscreen, chlorine, or other environmental factors that may clog pores.

Our Gentle Cleansing Lotion for those with dry or sensitive skin helps replenish moisture that may have been lost during the night while creating a clean base for the rest of your routine. If congested or oily skin is more of a problem for you, try our Revitalizing Cleansing Gel for a lighter cleanse that removes excess oil without leaving skin stripped or dry.

Tone: With all the stressors and environmental factors that may impact your skin during the warmer months, toning is a great way to restore balance and a fresh, soothed feel. Nothing beats our Clarifying Toner for balancing skin and preparing it for the rest of your routine. It closes your pores and leaves your skin looking and feeling fresh so you can face the warmer temperatures and whatever the longer days may bring.

Hydrate: Hydration is key during the warmer months. When starting out your day, Our Oil-Free Hydrator is perfect for more humid climates because it provides maximum hydration without any residue that might clog pores. For those in dryer areas, our Renewal Facial Serum gives skin the rich drink of moisture it needs to stay healthy-looking and plumped throughout the long, hot days. The serum is packed with Vitamins C and E to nourish and support skin’s natural functions.

In the evening, our Nourishing Cream provides a deeper dose of hydration for skin that’s been depleted by sun exposure and salt from sweat, dust, or salt air. The Blackberry Antioxidant complex in all the products in this routine helps to fight the effects of premature aging caused by environmental stressors.
