5 Hacks to Save Your Skin This Summer

It is that wonderful time of the year again when the weather is nice, the lemonades are cold, and the sundresses and daisy-dukes can finally make their appearance from the back of the closet. 

While summer is awesome for a lot of reasons, it is one of the most challenging seasons as far as skincare is concerned. From sunburns due to sun exposure to dehydration from all the heat, you have to work extra hard to keep your skin healthy and glowing over summer. 

That’s why we have compiled this list of tips to help you take care of your skin as you travel up and down the state, country, or world for your summer vacation. Forget summer body goals, here is all you need for summer skincare goals. 

Sunscreen is your best friend

Whether you are sunbathing at the beach or just hanging out on your porch with your family, you need to make sure that you have some sunscreen on. 

Exposure to UV during relentlessly hot and sunny summer days will have both short term and long-term effects on your skin. Future you will definitely thank you for applying that extra coat of sunscreen during summer. 

Moisturize from the inside and the outside

You lose a lot of skin moisture during the summer mainly as a result of all the excessive sweating. There are 2 ways to replace this lost water. 

The first is using a moisturizer that hydrates your skin from the outside in. Ideally, you should apply moisturizer before makeup to seal your skin’s moisture throughout the day. 

The second way to hydrate your skin over the summer is by drinking plenty of water. Try to get at least 3 to 4 liters of water in every day. 

Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate

From sunburns to dry and flaky skin from moisture loss, your skin will be losing a lot of cells. Exfoliation helps get rid of these for clean, clear, and well-aerated skin. 

If exfoliation is already a part of your skincare routine consider increasing your weekly frequency to about 2 to 3 times a week. 

Less is more when it comes to makeup

Your skin is already going through so much with the heat and sunshine and the last thing you want to do is to suffocate it under layers and layers of makeup. 

To attain that enviable summer glow, it is best to dial things down a bit in terms of how much makeup you choose to wear.

Reinvent your entire skincare routine

Finally, consider switching your entire skin and specifically your facial care routine. Switch out the products you use for those with better moisturizing effects like our Recover 4-Step Facial without being too heavy on the skin. In four easy steps, you’ll moisturize and rejuvenate dry, tired skin.
