Here we are, it’s August! And although some feel it’s the beginning of the end of summer, it’s really not. We’ve got almost two more full months of summer, so there’s plenty of time to hit the beach, enjoy a backyard BBQ, or just get a little extra sun here or there. The summer extends a bit further into the spring and fall in Houston, and we are closer to the equator than most cities in the country, so it’s important to follow summer skin care guidelines and precautions to ensure that your skin doesn’t get damaged and crispy. We’ve talked about summer skin care before, and we want to continue that conversation by suggesting some more tips to keep your skin looking its best while the sun is at its strongest!

Summer Skin Care - Let’s Recap

In our article from Summer 2020, “How to Prepare for Summer Skin Care,” we covered how there are three main maintenance routines to keeping your skin healthy and beautiful during the summer months. These maintenance routines include: Wear Sunscreen and Sun Protection If you’ve ever experienced a bad sunburn, you know how painful, uncomfortable, and damaging it can be. The sun’s UV rays can cause dryness, burns, dehydration, and long-lasting effects like skin cancer, which is one of the top five most common types of cancer. We strongly suggest you use a moisturizer or sunscreen every day with SPF protection and don’t overdo your time in the sun!

Hydrate Your Body We know you’ve heard it from doctors and teachers your whole life, but it’s true, staying hydrated makes a hugely positive impact on your overall bodily health and skin! Try to drink at least eight glasses of water a day and more if you’re staying active. Add in some sugar-free flavor drops to keep the water intake more interesting. Your skin will look richer, healthier, and more vibrant if you’re properly hydrated. Cleanse and Moisturize Your Skin Generally speaking, we all sweat more in the summer (we know, it’s gross), but that means it’s even more important to use light facial cleansers to keep your skin clean from all the dirt, sweat, and grime that gets trapped in our pores throughout the hot summer days. Moisturize with a light cream that won’t clog your pores but will help keep moisture in your skin!

Summer Skin Care: New Strategies and Tips!

Use Antioxidants Antioxidants are great for your skin, and they can be a great ally in your fight against sun damage. Antioxidants help activate collagen production within your body, which keeps skin revitalized and protected. You can get these benefits from antioxidants serums or keep an antioxidant-rich diet, such as fruits, nuts, vegetables, whole grains, and olive oils! A tasty and healthy way to keep your skin looking beautiful! Wear Less Makeup Makeup should be worn less often in the summer and used more restrictively to keep your skin fresh and healthy. Heavy makeup can clog pores and not allow the skin to breathe/vent/and sweat as it should, leading to more blackheads, clogged pores, and pimples. In the warmer months, give your face a break from dense makeup or concealers. Pay Close Attention to the Skin Around Your Eyes The skin around the eyes is thinner and more sensitive than the skin on the rest of your face, and it needs extra attention in the summer. To avoid dry skin under the eyes and help reduce the chance of under-eye wrinkles, use a gel or cream specially formulated for sensitive skin. It’s always advised to get an expert’s help in skin care treatments. We provide facial services, and our clients love them!
