Summer time skincare can be a challenge. You might wonder if you’re doing “the right thing” for your skin. Should you do this or that? Should you use this skincare product or that one? Should you avoid the sun? You just want straight answers to you can enjoy summer to the fullest. After all, you have a pool to lounge by! The good news is summertime skincare is a lot easier than you might think. It’s a mix of finding the right skincare products for your skin and practicing good summer skincare habits. Let’s take a closer look at a few common myths and summer skincare realities.
Myth: Sun Should Be Avoided During the Height of Summer
Skincare Reality—Myth: During the middle of summer, from late July into August, the sun can be at its most intense. It can be hot and bright. However, everyone’s skin is different, and the sun’s influence on skin is different, as well. Some people may notice irritation or redness after spending 20 minutes in direct sun, while others may notice other changes in their complexion.
Over time, those with darker skin may start to notice their skin has a hint of radiance to it. Those with lighter skin may notice a hint of bronze in their tone. That said, the sun doesn’t need to be avoided. Instead, it’s important to know how your skin behaves in the sun and what you can do if you notice changes you don’t like—like discoloration and hyper pigmentation. In these instances, you can use a dark spot corrector or a turmeric serum with vitamin C to help even out skin tone so you can instead work on your summertime radiance!
Myth: The Sun Ages the Skin
Skincare Reality—Truth-Ish: Sunlight can influence the skin in many different ways. Some people may start to notice fine lines and wrinkles after spending time in the sun. Keep in mind, this isn’t something that usually happens in an afternoon. It can happen over months or years. And it can happen at different rates for different people. Seeing fine lines is also a normal part of the aging process, so it’s not always the cause of the sun.
If fine lines are a skincare concern that’s on your mind, you can turn to products like a deep wrinkle filler (look for resveratrol and CoQ10 and other super-nourishing ingredients). This kind of product can help infuse the skin with nourishment that can help ease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by having a plumping effect.
Myth: The Sun and Heat Dehydrates the Skin
Skincare Reality—Truth: The sun and heat can pull moisture from the skin! As we all know, our bodies contain a lot of water. There is water in every living cell in one form or another. Sun and heat can “pull” moisture from your skin cells, potentially leaving your skin dry and tired. This is a separate process from UV exposure, which can lead to skin irritation and redness.
Using a hydrating toner or other deeply hydrating products, from toners to serums to creams, can be beneficial. As can using a hydrating moisturizer or an SPF moisturizer, in addition to the hydrating toner. The more you do to infuse your skin with hydration and the more you do to protect that hydration with moisturizers, the better. Sun protection is a big deal!
