Is your skin feeling sticky, sweaty, and confused lately? That’s summer talking.
The heat, humidity, and longer sun exposure can throw your regular skincare routine off balance. What worked in winter might suddenly feel too heavy or not enough. So let’s fix that—with a simple, no-fuss routine your skin will actually enjoy.
Step 1: Cleanse (but don’t overdo it)
Sweat and oil build up fast in the summer, but that doesn’t mean you need to strip your skin. Use a gentle, barrier-friendly cleanser twice a day. If you feel the urge to wash more often, try a splash of cool water or a face mist instead.
Step 2: Hydrate the right way
Think lightweight. Gel-based moisturizers with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin work best. These moisturizers are best for summer. They hydrate without making your skin feel greasy. Ask yourself—does your lightweight gel moisturizer feel like a second skin? If yes, you’ve found the one.
Step 3: Sunscreen, always
You know this one, but are you doing it right? Look for broad-spectrum SPF 50 or higher and reapply every 2–3 hours, especially if you're outdoors. Your future self will thank you.
Step 4: Keep it simple at night
Summer skincare routine doesn’t need 10 steps. Cleanse, apply a light serum (niacinamide or alpha-arbutin if you're dealing with dullness or spots), then moisturize. That’s it.
Bonus tip:
Swap your pillowcase twice a week, drink your water (yes, cliché—but it helps), and give your skin time to breathe.
