As the scorching heat of summer approaches, it's time to adapt your skincare routine to shield your skin from the harsh effects of the sun while maintaining its natural glow. Here’s a comprehensive summer skincare routine tailored to combat the seasonal challenges and keep your skin healthy and radiant!

1. Cleanse:

Begin your day with a gentle cleanser to wash away impurities accumulated overnight. Opt for a cleanser that suits your skin type to avoid stripping away essential oils, leaving your skin feeling fresh and rejuvenated such as the Rejûvaskin Facial Cleanser.

2. Hydrate:

Hydration is key to maintaining supple, glowing skin during the hot summer months. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your body and skin hydrated from within. Invest in a fun reusable water bottle or infuse water with fresh fruits for a refreshing twist.

3. Moisturize:

Choose a lightweight moisturizer suitable for summer use. Apply moisturizer liberally after showering or bathing to lock in moisture and prevent dryness. Look for formulas that absorb quickly and won't feel heavy on the skin, especially if you'll be spending time outdoors. Our ReVita-D Facial Moisturizer, a lightweight gel-cream moisturizer, is a great option.

4. Sun Protection:

Shield your skin from harmful UV rays by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF rating. Opt for a sunscreen that offers both UVA and UVB protection, such as our Mineral Facial Sunscreen which is suitable for the whole body. Remember to reapply sunscreen every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.

5. Lip Care:

Don't forget to protect your lips from sun damage by applying a lip balm with SPF regularly throughout the day. Exfoliate your lips gently to remove dead skin cells, keeping them soft and smooth under the summer sun.

6. Treat Sunburns:

In case of sunburn, soothe and repair your skin with specialized skincare products designed to alleviate redness and irritation. Look for products containing ingredients like aloe vera and vitamin E to promote healing and provide relief from sunburns. Skin Recovery Cream includes aloe vera, calendula, hyaluronic acid, and several other ingredients that will soothe and nurish the skin,

7. Adjust Makeup:

If you wear makeup, consider opting for lightweight, breathable formulas that won't clog pores or feel heavy on the skin. Look for foundation and tinted moisturizers with added SPF for an extra layer of sun protection.

8. Nighttime Routine:

Before bed, cleanse your skin to remove dirt, sweat, and sunscreen buildup accumulated throughout the day. Follow up with a hydrating serum or lightweight moisturizer to replenish your skin's moisture barrier while you sleep. Our Healthy Glow Trio includes the lightweight, gel-cream ReVita-D Facial Moisturizer, Retinoid Face Serum, and Retinoid Eye Cream.

9. Stay Cool:

During hot summer days, take measures to keep your skin cool and refreshed. Use facial mists or chilled skincare products to soothe and hydrate your skin, especially after prolonged sun exposure.

10. Monitor Skin Changes:

Pay attention to any changes in your skin, such as increased sensitivity or sunspots. Consult your dermatologist if necessary. Regular skin checks can also help detect any signs of sun damage early on and prevent long-term effects.

 

By following this summer skincare routine diligently, you can enjoy the sunny days while keeping your skin healthy, radiant, and protected!  Prioritize skincare habits that nourish and safeguard your skin, ensuring a glowing complexion all season long.
