With summer just around the corner, we know for sure that you are excited to soak the sun to the fullest. However, it is also the time to say hello to a new summer skincare routine as well. Our skin is something dearest to us all, and summer causes a lot of problems to it; oil, patches, roughness, rashes, and breakouts.
I bet you have already piled up tons of supplements, moisturizers, and high-end creams, right? But the question is… are you going to use them religiously and regularly? It's fine, don't answer, we already know. But, it is essential to maintain and follow a proper skincare routine and prevent your precious skin from the wrath of the unbearable heat.
We are not asking you to go crazy in summers and pamper your skin 24/7 like a princess, but a few simple lifestyle changes wouldn't hurt either. Don't know where to start? Well, what are we here for? If you are all motivated to protect your skin from heat, excessive oil, and breakouts; here is a short and simple guide to help you maintain a convenient skincare routine for summer:
1. Cleanse Daily
With summer, there comes a lot of sweat – no denying that. And with that sweat comes a lot of oil that will cause acne and rough-looking skin. You don't want that, right? Well, we can't prevent sweat, but what we can do is cleanse and wash our face twice a day – morning and night. Also, you are not supposed to rinse it with plain water only. Instead, use a good quality foaming face wash or soap.
2. Moisturize and Moisturize
Have you ever wondered that my skin is already oily in summer, then why should I use a moisturizer? If yes, then you are thinking REALLY, VERY WRONG. It is always best to moisturize your skin – no matter if it's summer or winter. So, always use a lightweight moisturizer after cleansing your face, preferably the ones for combination skin.
3. SPF and Sunscreen
The worst thing you can do to your skin is heading out in the sun without an SPF and sunscreen protection, trust me. Sun rays can be extremely harmful to your skin, especially to your face. So, always make sure to use sunscreen before going out – on your face, hands, and feet.
4. Keep Your Skin Hydrated
This is the most important of them all – drink plenty of water in summer to keep your skin clear and hydrated. I’ve seen hundreds of people spending dollars on expensive skincare products but ignoring the most basic thing – Water! Drinking plenty of water will make your skin shiny, soft, smooth, and free from toxins.
5. Regular Exfoliation
Dermatologists from all over the world recommend regularly exfoliate your skin in summer, especially if it is oily. You can use any drugstore scrub for that, or natural scrubbers like sea salt and coffee grounds. This way, you will get rid of clogged pores, oil, and acne.
Final Verdict
Maintaining a skincare routine is tedious but not rocket science. All you need is a little bit of dedication and convenient ways, just like we mentioned above, to make your skin defeat the sun. Happy Summer!
