And, summer is here!

The time for the beach, pool parties, and tons of fun!

But with the harsh heat and scorching temperature, staying outdoors too long may harm your skin, leading to rashes, acne, and skin burn, among others.

Do you want to enjoy the summertime without worrying and compromising on your skin?

Don’t worry beauties, we got you!

If you are looking for a skincare routine to keep your skin healthy and glowing in summer, this article is just what you were looking for.

Let’s keep the beauty glowing with this simple and easy-to-follow routine.

  1. The holy sunscreen

SPF is the fundamental unspoken rule of protecting the skin from the harsh rays during summer. Apply sunscreen whenever you are outdoors to prevent getting sunburn or breakouts.

Have a look at some of the benefits sunscreen offers:

  • Prevents premature skin ageing.
  • Protects the skin from UV rays.
  • Prevents sunburn and tanning.
  • Lowers the risk of skin cancer.

Dermatologists recommend using at least Spf 15+ sunscreen for better coverage.

If you are planning to stay outdoors for a longer period, remember to keep reapplying at regular intervals.

2. Moisturizer is necessary

Lighten up on your skincare products and opt for a natural and lightweight routine instead. As moisturizer creates an outermost layer on the skin, protecting it from the sun rays, you need to apply moisturizer every two hours.

Using a moisturizer that is lightweight and contains SPF will keep your skin free from irritation and dryness.

3. Lighten up the makeup routine

Avoid applying extra unnecessary layers of make-up to avoid heavy sweating. Just embrace the flow and let your skin breathe with minimum makeup.

Wear non-comedogenic makeup. Easily available in the market, such makeup doesn’t clog up your pores, keeping the skin fresh and healthy.

4. Don’t forget to exfoliate

Exfoliation is essential to keep the skin clear in summer. But dermatologists remind us not to over-exfoliate the skin as it may lead to irritation.

Another thing to keep in mind- is to not exfoliate when you are sunburnt as it could do more harm to the skin. Use gentle exfoliants once or twice a week, not more than that.

5. Keep cool by staying in the shade

Though people love spending time outdoors, experts recommend people to wear covered clothes and reveal as little of the skin as possible to direct sunlight. Wear a hat, use an umbrella or stay in the cool shade of the tree to avoid the scorching summer heat.

KEY TAKEAWAY,

As summer is warmer and sunnier than other seasons, it is natural to adopt different skincare routines for healthy and glowing skin.

Cover up with some stylish summer clothes and add at least 15+ SPA skin care products to your skincare routine to maintain nourished and clear skin.

I hope you found this summer-friendly beauty routine article helpful.

With summer approaching, be safe folks.
