Perfect Summer Skincare Products

With the changing seasons, it’s time to make some slight changes to skincare routines to account for the summer months. It’s more important than ever to protect skin from the sun when enjoying the outdoors. You should modify their exfoliation and cleansing routines as well.

Cleansing

As always, skincare routines should start with cleansing. During the summer, we recommend doubling down on cleansing and using more powerful agents to remove more sweat, oils, sunscreen residue, makeup, and impurities in pores. We recommend using a lightweight cleanser such as our Salicylic Face & Body Wash or our Chamomile Facial Cleanser twice daily to provide a thorough cleanse.

Toners & Exfoliators

Now that the winter is over, we recommend a deep exfoliation with glycolic acid to start off the summer and remove any lingering dead skin cells. As the summer continues, though, exfoliating product use can be decreased. Dead cells provide some protection against UV light, so the skin will be more sensitive after exfoliating. Exfoliating products should only be used at night so that sensitive skin is not exposed during the daytime.

During the next few months, we recommend using lighter exfoliating agents. Instead of using AHAs like glycolic acid, consumers can use weaker formulas or BHAs like salicylic acid. Our Dual Action Toner is perfect for the summer months, which uses a moderate formula of 5% glycolic acid and salicylic acid to provide light exfoliation, brightening, and smooth texture.
