Skincare Routine in Summer

 

Taking care of your skin is just as important as looking after your body’s health. The changing weather conditions and the increasing pollution levels are the external factors that affect the condition of the skin. 

 

Summers make the skin droopy, tanned and dull that is why following a proper skincare routine must be followed that complements the climate. A good skincare routine is essential to look fresh and young and to keep sun damage at a minimum.

 

 Here is a simple skincare routine that could be followed by everyone in summers, according to their skin type.

 

Don’t Forget To Moisturize

Summers are extremely draining for the body, and the excruciating sunny weather makes us sweat profusely. This makes us want to skip our skincare routine altogether. The hot weather makes our skin produce more oil and sweat, which is the reason why people avoid using moisturizers.

 

 Using a lightweight moisturizer will provide the needed hydration to your skin. Not moisturizing the skin will lead to barrier damage and makes the skin dry, and heat further irritates it. A good, lightweight moisturizer will protect the skin from pollution and chemicals. 

 

Reapply Your Sunscreen Throughout The Day

 

The most foremost skincare tip that has been making rounds on the internet is “Wear Sunscreen”. Investing in good sunscreen, especially in the summer weather, is the most principle skincare purchase on the list. Sunscreen can be applied by the ‘two-finger method’ after you have cleansed and moisturized your skin. 

 

To obtain the full benefit, make sure you reapply the sunscreen every couple of hours to your face and neck. Make sure you get all the pesky spots, including your ears, lips, feet and hands to stay protected from the UV rays and premature aging.

 

Extra glow with Vitamin C Serum 

 

Vitamin C serum is a vital part of every skincare enthusiast’s morning skincare routine. This serum is applied after cleansing and before moisturizing. Two to three drops of Vit C serum will make your skin glowy and plump. Not only does this serum make your skin glow, but it helps to fight hyperpigmentation and lightens acne marks with gradual use. 

 

Invest in a known, dermatologist-recommended Vit C serum and do not forget to apply a layer of sunscreen at the end to ensure the serum gives your skin a boost. 

 

Extra Exfoliation 

Summers make our skin more greasy which blocks our pores that result in blackheads and acne. Using chemical-based acid exfoliators twice a week will remove the dead skin cells and scrub off the blackheads off of your face. 

 

Adapting to exfoliating your face more than regular will make your new skin more sensitive. This demands layering the proper amount of sunscreen a couple of times throughout the day. AHA (alpha-hydroxy acids) are effective exfoliators that are light on the skin and recommended by dermatologists. 

 

Invest In Non-Comedogenic Products

 

Non-Comedogenic products are simply the ones that do not have pore-clogging abilities, and these are the kind of products that you need to incorporate into your summer skincare routine. 

 

Use a powder-based sunscreen for reapplication, and oil-free moisturizers, or primers that hydrate your skin and do not block your pores. Investing in such gentle products will keep your skin free from irritants and hydrate it, as well.
