Summer is a fantastic time for sunshine, beach trips, and outdoor fun, but it can be tough on your skin. With these quick and practical tips, you can keep your skin healthy and radiant all season long.

1. Stay Hydrated: The Secret to Glowing Skin

Did you know that staying hydrated can significantly impact your skin's appearance? Drink plenty of water and snack on water-rich foods like watermelon and cucumbers. Consider infusing your water with mint and citrus for a refreshing twist that also boosts hydration.

2. Sun Protection: Your Skin's Best Friend

Sunscreen is non-negotiable in summer. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, like our RESIST Solar Defense With TiO2 SPF 30. Reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating. Don’t forget commonly missed spots like your ears, neck, and the tops of your feet. Our mini SPF 50 is perfect for those on-the-go touch-ups as well! Keep it in your bag for easy reapplication.

3. Post-Beach Care: Refresh 

Saltwater and sand can leave your skin feeling dry and irritated. After a beach day, rinse off as soon as possible. Use a gentle cleanser to remove impurities and follow up with a hydrating lotion to restore moisture balance. Look for ingredients like aloe vera and glycerin that soothe and moisturize your skin after sun exposure.

4. Combat Sweat: Keep Your Skin Clear

Sweat can clog pores and lead to breakouts. Use a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser to keep your skin clean and fresh. Opt for lightweight, oil-free moisturizers that hydrate without clogging pores. Incorporating products with salicylic acid can help keep your pores clear and prevent acne.

5. Soothe and Rejuvenate: Eye and Neck Care

The delicate skin around your eyes and neck needs special care. Our REJUVE Eye Cream + Hyaluronic Acid hydrates, smooths out wrinkles, and improves skin texture. Perfect for all skin types. Apply it gently with your ring finger, tapping around the eye area. It’s also great for the neck area, where the skin is thinner and prone to early signs of aging. It's a summer must-have!

6. Exfoliate Gently: Reveal Fresh Skin

Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, allowing your summer glow to shine through. Use a gentle exfoliator 1-2 times a week, focusing on areas prone to dryness, like elbows and knees. Avoid over-exfoliating, which can lead to irritation and sensitivity.

7. Cool Off: Refreshing Face Mists

Keep a refreshing face mist in your bag for a quick cool-down during hot days. Look for mists with ingredients like cucumber and green tea, which are soothing and hydrating. A spritz not only cools you down but also revives tired skin.

8. Diet Matters: Eat for Your Skin

Incorporate foods rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids into your diet. Berries, leafy greens, and fatty fish like salmon help protect your skin from sun damage and keep it supple. These nutrients fight free radicals, keeping your skin looking youthful.

9. Wear Protective Clothing: Style Meets Function

Opt for wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and lightweight, long-sleeved clothing to protect your skin from UV rays. Look for fabrics with built-in SPF for added protection. Not only does this keep your skin safe, but it also adds a stylish touch to your summer wardrobe.

10. Get Your Beauty Sleep: Rest and Rejuvenate

Quality sleep is essential for healthy skin. During sleep, your body repairs itself, and your skin regenerates. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night to wake up with refreshed, glowing skin. Use a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and prevent wrinkles.

With these tips, you’ll be well on your way to maintaining healthy, radiant skin all summer long. Remember, the best skincare routine is one that’s consistent and tailored to your skin’s needs. Stay proactive with your skincare routine and enjoy all that summer has to offer with skinfidence!
