Skin hydration and moisturization can mean more during the summer months. Between spending more time outside—and more time in the sun and heat—your skin can use all the advantages it can get. The question you might have (as you bask in the sun by the pool or on the beach) is, “How can I give my skin the advantage?”
The answer is multifaceted. It can start with targeted skincare products—products made to hydrate like a hydrating toner. It can also include products made to lock in that moisture—aptly named moisturizers. Locking in moisture can make a world of difference. Here’s how you can lock in skin’s moisture as the summer sun shines down.
The Multifaceted Approach to Locking in Moisture
Protecting your skin from the sun and summer heat goes beyond using a moisturizer and an SPF product. It starts with cleansing—preparing your skin for hydration followed by moisturization. When you're planning on spending time in the sun and heat, cleansing primes your skin for targeted hydrating/moisturizing products.
You can use a hydrating cleanser, or you can rely on any clear skin products you may already use. When it comes to cleansing, you don’t need to disrupt a routine that may already work for you. But if you're concerned about dry or dehydrated skin, building a dedicated routine—starting with cleanser—may help make a difference. Either way, once your skin is cleansed, it can better absorb any hydrating toner or serum you may choose to use next.
The Importance of Dedicated Hydration
It can be crucial to use dedicated hydrating products as part of a sun- and heat-centric skincare routine. Hydrating toner, for instance, can introduce key ingredients, like hemp seed oil, to your skin that help infuse it with hydration. You can also add deeply hydrating products to the mix, including those made with hyaluronic acid.
Using a hydrating toner and other hydrating products can offer an element of protection. Hydrated skin can represent skin with a healthy moisture barrier. The moisture barrier can help slow the skin’s moisture loss as you spend time in the sun and heat. It can also help put a barrier between you and other environmental factors.
Using a Moisturizer with SPF
Hydrating your skin is one thing. Moisturizing the skin takes things to the next level. It’s easy to confuse hydration with moisturization. Hydration introduces key hydrators to the skin—like hemp seed oil or hyaluronic acid. Moisturization locks those key hydrators in and can also offer another layer of protection.
And speaking of protection, you can take your moisturization to yet another level with a moisturizer made with SPF ingredients. After completing your daily skincare routine, finish with an SPF moisturizer (best applied at least 10 minutes before going outdoors), and you’ll give your skin the advantage as the sun beats down this summer.
