Smart Tips for Summer Skincare | Hydrate and Protect Your Skin

As the mercury rises, your skin’s needs change. The heat, humidity, and sun can damage your skin. But with the right tips and tricks, you can keep your skin glowing and healthy all summer.

Let’s uncover some of the smartest, most effective ways to care for your skin during the hottest months of the year. Because when it comes to summer skincare, it’s all about being proactive, not reactive. 

Sun Protection

Protecting your skin from the sun’s UV rays remains crucial in your summer skincare regimen. When exposed to intense sun rays, your skin can suffer permanent damage, occasionally resulting in sunburn or, in some cases, skin cancer.

To shield your skin, invest in a broad-spectrum sunscreen product. Broad spectrum, signifying it protects against both UVA and UVB rays, these harmful sun rays are noted as contributors to early aging and skin cancer.

For optimal protection, the recommended SPF is between 30 and 50. Most makeups containing SPF do not meet those recommendations. Neora’s Invisi-Bloc SPF 40 uses a lightweight, clear gel formula with innovative technology to create microcapsules of UV filters that absorb instantly without leaving a milky, sticky mess that can clog pores. This innovative and powerful SPF can give you a flawless look while protecting your skin. It’s well-suited for daily use on your face, neck, ears, décolletage, or any areas of the skin that are exposed to the sun and environmental elements.  

Also, if you spend extended time outdoors, opt for sun-protective clothing. Examples include wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and clothing with UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) ratings.

Sunless Tanner

Get that just-back-from-vacation look (without leaving your house!) with Neora’s 3-in-1 Self Tanning + Sculpting Foam. This innovative bestseller tans, sculpts, and hydrates with a streak-free, stink-free, and mess-free formula. The safe, natural formula delivers your most natural-looking tan without the harmful aging rays from the sun or tanning beds.

Packed with peptides that support collagen and elastin, it reduces the appearance of cellulite and helps you look more toned and sculpted with each application. The lightweight, clear foam is quickly absorbed into the skin for a mess-free and streak-free application. Just wait 4-8 hours, and voila—tanned perfection. No waiting, no wondering—just more wowing!

Hydration

Proper hydration is an essential part of your summer skincare routine. As you expose your skin to the blazing summer sun, it starts losing moisture, which may lead to skin damage if not properly hydrated. For skin hydration, paying attention to what you put inside your body is as crucial as what you apply.

Incorporating lots of liquids, such as water and natural juices, into your diet ensures that your skin stays hydrated from within. You can also indulge in water-rich fruits and vegetables, like cucumbers and watermelon, which naturally help rehydrate your skin.

Apart from internal hydration, include a hydrating body lotion or moisturizer in your skin care regimen. Opting for a product with ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, aloe vera, or Glycerin helps maintain skin moisture levels during summer. 

Cleansing and Exfoliating

Proper cleansing serves two vital purposes. First, it rids your skin of accumulated dirt, grime, and excess oils, ensuring the pores aren’t blocked. Blockages, if left unchecked, can result in acne breakouts. Second, a clean skin surface allows for better absorption of creams, lotions, and serums applied afterward.

About exfoliation, it’s a process that removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells paving the way for the growth of new, radiant skin. Regular exfoliation assists in unclogging pores and improving the overall skin texture, resulting in a smoother and more vibrant complexion.

Your first step to a radiant complexion begins with our Complexion Treatment Pads. These power-packed pads are your go-to for exfoliation and brightness. They work hard to eliminate uneven texture and decongest pores, leaving you with flawless, beautiful skin. 

Remember, in summer, favor gentle, hydrating cleansers and exfoliating products enriched with elements like Hyaluronic Acid and Aloe Vera. These ingredients provide the necessary hydration to the skin, supporting its health and glow even during the hot months.

Healthy Lifestyle

To achieve glowing skin amid the blistering summer, an optimal skincare routine alone won’t suffice. You’ll also need a balanced diet, regular exercise, and effective stress management. Including fruits and vegetables like watermelon, citrus fruits, and cucumber, which are rich in water content, ensures optimal skin hydration. Regular exercise promotes proper blood circulation to energize and revitalize skin cells. 

Excessive summer heat can stress your skin, causing premature aging and fine lines. By adopting activities such as yoga, meditation, and deep-breathing you’ll effectively manage stress, aiding in maintaining a healthy, glowing complexion during summer. These lifestyle tweaks, combined with your summer-meticulous skincare regimen, result in a phenomenal round-the-clock summer glow. Add these lifestyle changes to your routine, and witness a dramatic difference in your skin health during the blazing hot summer months.

After-Sun Care

Shifting gears from maintaining your skincare routine during summer, let’s investigate “After-Sun Care.” Inevitably, your skin bears the brunt of sun exposure post a hot summer day, leaving it dehydrated and inflamed. Hence, it’s integral to rehydrate your skin and reduce inflammation immediately after sun exposure. Not only does this step soothe your skin, but it also aids in repairing solar damage. A well-formulated after-sun care routine, when applied appropriately, can help shield your skin from further damage and revive its healthy radiance. 

Embrace Your Radiant Summer Skin

So, you’ve learned how to give your skin the summer love it deserves. Remember, it’s not just about slathering on sunscreen or guzzling water. It’s a holistic approach, from what you put on your skin to what you eat, how you manage stress, and how you care for your skin post-sun exposure. You’ve got the tools now, it’s up to you to use them. Make these tips a part of your daily routine, and your skin will thank you. Summer’s here, and it’s time for you to shine. Here’s to a season of healthy, radiant skin!
