What Are Some Ways I Can Update My Skincare Routine For Summer?

As our Nashville summer intensifies, it’s time to update your skincare routine! The humidity and high heat of a Southern summer can wreak havoc on your skin, so it is best to be prepared.

Our hot and humid weather leads to sweating or a sticky feeling, which is very uncomfortable and heightens the possibility of skin-related issues.

How Does The Heat Of A Nashville Summer Affect My Skin?

As temperatures warm and the humidity rises, your skin’s sebaceous glands begin to produce excessive sebum (natural oil). The produced oil becomes encrusted on the skin’s surface, resulting in stickiness, greasiness, and pimples.

• • Acne problems are the most common summertime skin issue. People with oily skin are more prone to acne because the bacteria and oils in their skin mix with perspiration, resulting in clogged pores and acne.
  • The melanin production of your skin increases when exposed to harmful UV rays; the purpose of melanin is to protect skin from sun damage. An excess of melanin can lead to darker, browner skin and, in some cases, can cause pigmentation and dark spots, however. 
  • Other issues caused by UV rays include itchy skin, prickly heat, sunburn, and rash.

How Can Urban Oasis Day Spa Help Me Manage My Summertime Skincare? 

We recommend that you incorporate the following skincare methods into your routine for summer:

• • Exfoliation – At least twice a week to unclog pores and remove blemishes.
  • Moisturizing – apply a good moisturizer with a sun protection factor.
  • Use Sunscreen – the Skin Cancer Foundation recommends using a sunscreen with an SPF of 15, at least/
  • Wear Sun-protective Accessories and Apparel – UV sunglasses, UV-resistant apparel, broad-brimmed hats, etc.
