Skincare Routine for the Summer Season

Skincare routine for the summer season

Despite the long-awaited summer being still a few months away, pleasant weather is starting to become a reality. Changing our clothes (if you haven’t already done so), holidays, and sunning on the beach are all things we are thinking about right now. Although we have been alternating between hot, dry indoor air and freezing cold outdoors for months, we are unable to approach summer without first prepping our skin. For those who want to start the season off with their best version of their skin, here are the fundamental precautions you should take before soaking in the first rays of the sun:

Step 1: Exfoliation

Starting with the exfoliation of the obstinate layer of winter skin, the route to glowing skin may be mapped out in detail. Even though skin cells regenerate continuously, the unpredictable weather of the previous few months may have prevented dead skin from being shed adequately.

The Gentle Black Sugar face polish from the Korean brand comes highly recommended. This mild exfoliator, which contains brown sugar, efficiently removes makeup residue, pollutants, dead skin cells, and blackheads from the skin. It quickly exfoliates the skin and is so mild that it may be used by people with all skin types, even those with the most delicate.

Step 2: Hydration

To complete the second phase, you must consume 1.5 liters of water. What is it about drinking more water that makes it the foundation of every diet, exercise, and skincare regimen? Because your organs need water to operate properly, and your skin is the biggest organ in your body. The greater the amount of water you consume, the simpler it will be to maintain your skin from becoming dry.

While thicker, heavier moisturisers are often used in the winter, as the days get longer and the temperatures rise, lighter creams should be included in your spring skincare regimen to maintain skin healthy and moisturised without weighing it down.

Step 3: Take care of food

Speaking of hydration, one of the best ways to stay hydrated is to consume enough fresh fruits and vegetables regularly. Fresh fruits and vegetables are high in water and vitamins and nutrients, which your body needs to function properly. Water helps the skin keep its suppleness, which means it may aid in the prevention of symptoms of aging such as wrinkles. The following foods are the greatest for maintaining good skin: lettuce, broccoli, carrots, apples, and watermelon. Citrus fruits, in particular, have been demonstrated to be beneficial for skin health in studies.

Step 4: ALWAYS sunscreen

The fourth step, and maybe the most crucial, is to apply sunscreen regularly (and no, this is not only for days spent at the beach). Even overcast days emit dangerous ultraviolet (UV) rays that damage our skin. Protect your interests! It is important to apply sunscreen to your skin on overcast days to prevent sunburn.

* If you use makeup, it is strongly advised that you replace the heavier foundation base of the winter months with a BB Cream that has color and sun protection during this time of year.

Step 5: Vitamin C

The skin antioxidant vitamin C is one of the most widely used today, and for a good reason: by fighting free radicals, it prevents and improves wrinkles and expression lines, fades sun spots, and unifies skin tone, among other benefits. It also has the added benefit of illuminating and firming the skin.

To conclude I would say summer is an ideal time to get a fresh new look with skincare. It is important to keep in mind that what works for the winter may not work for the summer. The summer season is often associated with heat and sweat which can make your skin feel dry and dull. There are many ways to treat this, such as using a moisturiser, wearing sunscreen, and keeping hydrated.

A good skincare routine will include cleansing, toning, exfoliating, moisturising and sometimes masking. It is important to remember that these steps should not be done consecutively but rather in a specific order – first, rinse off any dirt or makeup then tone the skin before applying a moisturiser. This will help keep your skin healthy and looking radiant all year round!

The most important thing is to use sunscreen with a high SPF rating when you step out in the sun. However, it is also important to apply skincare products that contain antioxidants and vitamin C which help in fighting environmental damage.
