There’s nothing I love more than the warm summer sun and a day at the beach, but when the temps start rising and the humidity is through the roof, it’s also time to update your skincare routine. Adjusting the way you care for your skin with the changing of the seasons is essential, especially when it comes to things like sun protection. From adding SPF to your daily must-haves to making exfoliation a priority, here’s a look at my favorite skincare tips for summer (with some of my must-have products in there too).
4 Essential Skin Care Tips for Summer
#1. Make sunscreen your utmost priority. When the hot summer sun comes out, skin protection is the name of the game. Don’t be afraid to lather up from head to toe, multiple times a day. Even if its humid and grey, those can be some of the worst days for UV ray damage, so don’t skip a day.
Here are my go-to products with SPF:
Motives® Liquid Powder Mineral Foundation with SPF 15
Cellular Laboratories® De-Aging Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50+
#2. Exfoliate. Exfoliate. Exfoliate. All that sun, swimming, sand, humidity – makes for skin that needs exfoliation on the regular. It will leave you detoxified, radiant and with the softest skin. Here’s my favorite exfoliating product:
Lumière de Vie® Volcanic Exfoliating Mask
#3. Don’t forget to moisturize. Even though it’s hot and humid, your skin still needs some added and well-curated moisture to keep it soft, supple, hydrated and looking great. Here’s my pick for the best moisturizer around:
#4. Go light on makeup and opt for a more natural look instead. Summer is the best time of year to give your skin a break from heavy makeup and products. Try a light dusting of bronzer, natural lip gloss and a bit of waterproof mascara for your summer look. You’ll love letting your natural sun kissed glow shine through. My faves:
Motives® Pressed Bronzer – California Girl
Motives® Lip Candies – Butterscotch
Motives® Lustrafy Waterproof Mascara
What do you think? Are you ready to take your skincare routine straight into summer?
