To keep the momentum of your summer glow going, you may need to check in with your skin and make a few tweaks to help keep it visibly healthy and hydrated as we chill into the dog days of summer. Let the following tips guide you—we still have plenty of fun, sunny days ahead!
Don’t Forget to Exfoliate
Slough away (gently, of course). Dirt, sunscreen, sweat, and pollution can all build up and contribute to clogged pores over the hot summer months. To refine your skin’s texture and help unclog pores, use a clarifying facial exfoliator to get rid of the gunk. A great exfoliator removes dry and dead skin cells to reveal visibly radiant, glowing skin underneath. Hydrating glycerin and sunflower oil and antioxidant-boosting vitamin E are a few ingredients to look for that can help leave your skin soft, nourished, and refreshed. You only need to exfoliate once or twice a week to reap the benefits.
Do Use a Hydrating Facial Mask
You don’t want to draw moisture out of your skin. Instead, you want to infuse moisture back in. A soothing and hydrating hydrogel mask is the perfect addition to your weekly lineup to deliver intense moisturization. Hyaluronic acid and glycerin are powerhouse ingredients that help your skin retain moisture and keep your skin looking softer, plumper, and smoother. Your serums and moisturizers will absorb more effectively on skin that’s already well hydrated, too.
Don’t Let Up on the Sunscreen
Even if you’re tired of slathering on sunscreen, now isn’t the time to stop using it. The sun’s UV rays can still damage your skin even if it doesn’t feel scorching hot outside or there’s more cloud cover. You could always try switching to a lighter formula instead of the thick sunscreen you may have been using all summer long. Consider a sunscreen spray, stick, or whatever method is effective and easy for you. As long as the product offers broad spectrum coverage and contains a high SPF, you should be set.
Do Use Fewer But Smarter Products
If you’re all about skin minimalism or “skinimalism,” you can keep embracing your light skin care routine with fewer steps. You may not need to switch up your products, but you do need smart products that work. A gentle cleanser such as micellar water, an Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) serum, and an oil-free moisturizer may be all you need. Plant-based EGF is an excellent anti-aging ingredient that works as an alternative to retinol to enhance your skin’s moisture levels and support your skin’s natural collagen production.
Don’t Forget the Rest of Your Body
Taking care of the skin on your body is no longer second to the skin on your face. Body care is finally getting the attention it deserves. If you spent a lot of time outside this summer, this couldn’t be more relevant. It’s time to give the skin on your body some attention with an exfoliator for the rough patches or a silky smooth serum for long-lasting hydration—or both! Exfoliated skin will drink up a revitalizing body serum.
