How Do I Prep My Skin For Summer?
Longer daylight hours and the hot, dry, or humid weather we experience during summer can affect our skin differently than winter’s colder and darker days. Protecting your skin from the ravages of summer weather is essential to avoid future issues, such as cancer.
Your summer skincare steps will differ depending on where you live, but applying sunscreen and refraining from over-showering is vital for everyone. Keep reading to learn some top summer skin care tips!
What Are The Top Skin Care Recommendations For Summer Weather?
Here are some of our top recommendations for your summer skincare prep:
- Wearing heavy makeup on warmer days can feel like an unnecessary extra layer; if you sweat, your makeup will come off more easily, too. Pare down your makeup routine and embrace summer!
- The air isn’t usually as dry in the summer as in the winter. Still, don’t ditch your moisturizer — your skin can dry out in the summer. Find a moisturizer with an SPF to provide an extra layer of protection. Remember that you’ll need at least SPF 30; reapply it every two hours if you’re in the sun. If you need assistance finding the right summer skincare products for your skin, our professional estheticians can help!
- Wear sunscreen. Look for sunscreens that offer:
- at least SPF 30
- broad spectrum protection
- lip protection
Apply sunscreen any time you are out in the sun, even in the winter months. The Skin Cancer Foundation says that daily SPF 15 may reduce the risk of developing melanoma and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). It also protects your skin against aging prematurely. Use sunscreen with SPF 30; there’s a massive jump in the rays blocked between a 15 and a 30, but above 30, there doesn’t seem to be much of a difference.
