Summer is a time for sun, fun, and outdoor activities, but it can also be harsh on your skin if you are not careful. The heat, humidity and increased sun exposure can lead to dehydration, sunburn and premature aging. To keep your skin looking its best even during these hot summer months, it’s essential to follow a good skincare routine that focuses on hydration and protection. At Aesthetic Skin Chicago and Winnetka, our expert providers can guide you through the process, analyzing your skin and giving you proper recommendations.
Key Elements of a Summer Skincare Routine
Attempting to follow the perfect, effective summer skincare routine? Any good skincare regime involves proper hydration, SPF, the right amount of exfoliation, and more.
Hydration: Keep your skin hydrated during the hotter months. Excessive dehydration can lead to dry, flaky skin and accentuate fine lines and wrinkles. Drinking plenty of water throughout the day and using a hydrating serum or moisturizer can definitely help. Very useful are also products containing hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and aloe vera, which help retain moisture and soothe the skin.
Sun Protection: Sun protection is non-negotiable. It’s recommended to apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day, even on cloudy days. Reapply every two hours, especially if you are swimming or sweating. Sunscreen protects against UV rays that can cause sunburn, premature aging and skin cancer.
Cleansing: Cleaning your face with a gentle cleanser helps to remove sweat, oil, and impurities and it won’t strip your skin of its natural oils. This will also help to prevent clogged pores and breakouts, which can be more common in the summer due to increased sweating.
Exfoliation: Exfoliating your skin regularly is useful to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover, keeping your skin smooth and radiant. Is important though not to over-exfoliate, as excessive exfoliation can irritate your skin and increase sensitivity to the sun.
Antioxidants: Incorporate antioxidants into your skincare routine can combat free radical damage from sun exposure and pollution. Vitamin C serums for example are excellent for brightening the skin and protecting it from environmental stressors.
