THE BEST SUMMER SKIN-CARE
Summer is a time for beach days, pool parties, and vacations.
It’s also a great time for a skincare makeover.
Longer hours of daylight and hot, dry, or humid weather can affect our skin differently than the colder and darker days of winter.
Some summer skincare steps may depend on where you live.
For example, a person living in Colorado, where temperatures generally moderate with humidity over 50 percent, may need to make fewer adjustments than someone living in Houston.
Other steps, such as applying sunscreen and refraining from over-showering, are important for everyone.
The beauty tips below will help you enjoy the sunshine with skin health in mind.
Takeaway
Summer is typically warmer and sunnier than winter.
It’s only natural that your skin has different needs.
When you’re spending more time in the sun, it’s important to be mindful of sunscreen.
Find a broad-spectrum SPF 30 and reapply every 2 hours to protect your skin from premature aging and skin cancer.
Try a lightweight moisturizer and go lighter on the makeup, exfoliating no more than once per week.
If you want a healthy glow, opt for a self-tanner or tinted moisturizer and powder with SPF.
A summer-friendly beauty routine will keep your skin happy and healthy all season long.
