Are you and your Skin ready for summer? Do you notice a change in how your Skin looks dull every summer? Do you find it challenging to keep it free from breakouts and keep it looking refreshed?
This summer, allow us to guide you through this journey to ensure your Skin looks flawless and the sun makes your Skin glow! There are a few common mistakes to avoid during the summer skincare routine.
We will start with the fact that everyone needs to figure out a skincare routine that suits them best! We can’t stress enough how you must treat your Skin right! Skincare isn’t about using one product once a month or getting a facial once in a while. Your Skin is the most sensitive part and requires constant attention and care! Starting from a refreshing morning cleansing to a cleansing and relaxing nighttime skin care, an elaborate weekly exfoliation, and all the other things included in the routine!
Let’s go through these common mistakes one must avoid during summer:
Drink plenty of water, and that glow of hydration will appear on your face! Remember, fizzy drinks are not a water replacement! Try to drink a glass of water on an empty stomach, and make sure you carry your sipper around all day like your life depends on it!
With summer’s oily Skin, people often tend to ignore the moisturizing step from their skincare routine. However, we can’t stress enough how your Skin needs that moisturizer. If you are skeptical about moisturizers, you can go for a water-based one that’s light on your Skin, but never skip it!
You can use all the serums and get all the treatments, but remember, healthy Skin glows from within! Your Skin shows what you eat. Give it plenty of water, fruits, and leafy greens, and you will see a beautiful glow with soft, supple Skin! Avoid fried food and eat too much sugar; you will witness an apparent transformation.
You can party all night if you want, but don’t complain when it shows up on your Skin! So get your beauty sleep of 8-10 hours at least to avoid the appearance of dark circles and dull Skin! Go to those parties, but be like Cinderella and leave the party when the clock strikes. Skincare o’clock!
What do you need to trust more this summer? This summer, your SPF should be more trustworthy than your BFF! Trust us when we say that our millennial Skin has seen a lot, and we weren’t prepared for this, but now that we know the importance of wearing sunscreen, there hasn’t been a day that we skipped it! Whether heading out in the sun or not, we need the proper SPF protection! While there are many drugstore sunscreens available, choose a lightweight one, and if you get the tinted one, you can skip the heavy makeup look and go for a natural, dewy makeup look!
Some of the tried and tested Sunscreens on the block are Cetaphil, Supergoop, Neutrogena, and Conatural!
While using sunscreen, do not forget that “Reapplication” of sunscreen is a must! You cannot expect sunscreen to protect you all day if you don’t reapply it at least every 3/4 hours!
Skin texture is natural, and one must embrace it and love the Skin one is in. At the same time, one must take care of the natural Skin to protect its moisture, glow, freshness, and elasticity. Every time you watch a skincare routine, you see a couple of new serum names that you have never heard of before, and you start questioning if you are doing something right for your Skin.
Before starting a skincare routine influenced by any social media influencer, you must know that you have unique Skin and do your own research!
Now, here are some essential serums that you can add to your skincare routine according to your needs:
Retinol is the age miracle! If my millennial friends don’t have a Retinol serum in their nighttime skincare, then what are they even doing? Retinol helps with several things, like cell production and unclogging pores, but mainly, it supports collagen production, which helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines! Use Retinol in your night skincare and let it rewind your age while you get your beauty sleep!
The instant hydration and plumpness you see on someone’s screen is brought to you in partnership with Hyaluronic acid! Hyaluronic acid gives your dry, parched Skin a hydrated, soft, supple look and helps give your Skin a wrinkle-free look by increasing the elasticity and flexibility of the Skin! It can be used in both daytime and nighttime skin rituals.
Sounds like something serious, right? But don’t worry. Niacinamide is your little soldier that helps restore your skin barrier, fights blemishes, prevents acne, nourishes the Skin, and prevents excess sebum production that causes whiteheads. So, Niacinamide is your one-stop serum for all your skin concerns!
Do you have uneven skin tone? Did the sun damage get to you and make your Skin dull and patchy? Sister, you need glycolic acid! Glycolic acid works like a charm on those tough marks and reverses skin damage to give you the most beautiful skin you have!
Is your Skin breaking out? The acne-prone Skin needs a little help from our favorite salicylic acid! If you want clear Skin (well, who doesn’t!), get the salicylic acid and get rid of acne, whiteheads, and those stubborn blackheads!
You are not high maintenance; you are just worth all the effort! I hope this gives you an idea of how you can achieve your dream glowing Skin this summer!
