Summer Skincare: How to Keep Your Skin Happy & Healthy in the Sun

With summer just around the corner, it’s time to soak up those sunny days, but with a little more care for our skin. Whether you’re hitting the beach, going for a hike, or just lounging in the back garden, it’s essential to keep your skin protected and hydrated. So, let’s chat about how to give your skin some extra TLC this summer – because glowing, healthy skin should be your vibe, all year round!

1. Start With Sunscreen, Always!
First things first – sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen! The sun can be super powerful, and while it feels amazing on our skin, it’s not always kind in the long run. UV rays can cause premature aging, dark spots, and worst of all, skin cancer. Yikes! So, what can we do? Use a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30 (but we recommend 50 if you're planning to be outside for a long time) and apply it 15-30 minutes before heading out. And don’t forget the spots we often overlook like your ears, neck, and the back of your hands – they need love too!

Pro tip: Reapply every 2 hours, especially if you’re swimming or sweating. And if you can, go for a mineral sunscreen with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide – they’re great for sensitive skin and offer broad protection.

2. Hydration is Key!
We all know that drinking water is essential, but it’s also important to hydrate your skin from the outside. The heat can leave your skin feeling dry and tight, so let’s keep things moisturized! Look for lightweight, hydrating products.

After your morning shower or after a day in the sun, apply a hydrating body lotion to keep your skin soft and nourished. And don’t forget your face! Look for a gentle, hydrating moisturizer that works well under makeup.

3. Exfoliate (But Not Too Much!)
Exfoliating is the secret to soft, glowing skin, especially when you’ve been exposed to sun and sweat. It helps remove dead skin cells and allows your skin to better absorb moisturizers and serums. But remember: summer heat can make your skin more sensitive, so you want to exfoliate gently.

Stick to once or twice a week, and always follow up with SPF to protect your newly exfoliated skin!

4. Protect Your Lips
Your lips are just as vulnerable as the rest of your skin in the sun, so keep them soft, smooth, and protected with a lip balm that contains SPF. Nothing’s worse than dry, cracked lips, so keep a lip balm on hand and reapply throughout the day. Plus, a tinted lip balm with SPF can give you a little pop of colour and sun protection in one!

5. Don’t Skip Your Eyes
Your delicate eye area needs extra love too! The skin around your eyes is thinner, making it more prone to wrinkles and sun damage. So, wear sunglasses with 100% UV protection to shield your eyes from harmful rays and prevent squinting, which can lead to fine lines.

Also, don’t forget about an eye cream with SPF during the day – this helps keep your under-eye area hydrated and protected.

6. After-Sun Care
Even with all the sunscreen in the world, sometimes we overdo it in the sun (oops!). If you end up a little too bronzed, it’s time to show your skin some extra care. Reach for a soothing after-sun gel or lotion with aloe vera to cool down and calm any redness. Aloe is amazing at reducing inflammation and keeping your skin from drying out.

7. Mind What You Wear
What you wear can help your skin, too! Choose lightweight, breathable fabrics that keep you cool and protect you from the sun. A wide-brimmed hat can provide extra shade for your face and neck. And don’t forget a cute pair of sunglasses - your eyes will thank you.

Final Thoughts

So, stay protected, stay hydrated, and most importantly - have fun in the sun!
