It's June, which means summer is officially here, and with it comes the need for a revised skincare routine to keep your skin healthy and glowing. Here are five essential tips to help you maintain beautiful, healthy skin throughout June.
ONE - Stay Hydrated
Hydration is crucial for healthy skin, especially during the hot summer months. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from within. Incorporate hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumber, and oranges into your diet. Additionally, use a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer to help your skin retain moisture and prevent dryness.
TWO - Protect Your Skin with Sunscreen
Sunscreen is your best friend during summer. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 (ideally 50) and apply it generously to all exposed skin, including your face, neck, ears and hands. Reapply every two hours, or more frequently if you’re swimming or sweating. Sunscreen helps prevent sunburn, premature aging, and reduces the risk of skin cancer.
THREE - Cleanse and Exfoliate Regularly
Summer heat and increased sweating can lead to clogged pores and breakouts. Cleanse your skin twice daily to remove dirt, oil, and sweat. Use a gentle exfoliator once or twice a week to slough off dead skin cells and keep your skin smooth. Avoid harsh scrubs that can irritate your skin; opt for mild exfoliants or enzyme-based products.
FOUR - Clean Your Makeup Brushes
In the summer months, due to the extra time you spend outdoors, your skin picks up even more dirt and grime than usual. Combine this with the increase in sweat, and your makeup brushes are going to be collecting all sorts from your face! Dirty makeup brushes can harbour bacteria, leading to breakouts and skin irritation. Clean your brushes regularly using our natural Makeup Brush Soaps. Keeping your brushes clean will help maintain clear and healthy skin.
FIVE - Adjust Your Skincare Routine
Summer calls for lighter skincare products. Switch to a lightweight moisturizer and consider using a gel-based or water-based formula that won’t feel heavy on your skin. Incorporate antioxidant-rich serums to combat free radicals and sun damage. Look for ingredients like vitamin C and niacinamide to help brighten and protect your skin.
By following these tips, you can enjoy the summer sun while keeping your skin healthy and radiant. Remember, consistency is key, so make these practices a regular part of your skincare routine. Have a fantastic and glowing summer!
