      Key Takeaways<\/p>\n

      \n
        \n
      • The summer sun and humidity can affect our skin by increasing oil production and the risk of sun damage.<\/li>\n
      • As the weather warms up, consider using lighter formulas, wearing sunscreen daily, and reducing the frequency of intense treatments (like peels) to keep your skin healthy during the summer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        As summer arrives, the change in weather calls for some adjustments to your skincare routine. Each season brings new conditions that can affect your skin, and the scorching weather can cause a slew of skin issues.\u00a0“In summer, your skin is exposed to more heat, humidity, sun, and sweat, which increases oil production, leading to clogged pores and raising the risk of sun damage,” board-certified dermatologist Dr. Nathan Newman says.\n<\/p>\n

        Your current skincare routine, as beloved as it may be, is likely not equipped to handle these factors. “Skin isn’t static,” board-certified dermatologist Dr. Naana Boakye says. “It shifts with the seasons and needs a routine that evolves with the changes.”\n<\/p>\n

        In other words, swapping out your products come summer is essential, but needs to be done with care. Ahead, we spoke with skin experts for their tips on curating the ideal summer skincare routine. Continue reading to discover eight tips for keeping your skin hydrated and protected throughout the season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

          Apply and Reapply Sunscreen <\/span><\/h2>\n

          “Using a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher during the summer is essential,” Dr. Boakye notes. Dr. Newman adds, “The idea is to prevent sun damage rather than trying to correct it later.” The beauty aisles are brimming with various sunscreen options, from sprays to lotions to sticks, so it’s all about finding a format you’ll use daily. And remember to reapply every two hours.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          Start Double Cleansing <\/span><\/h2>\n

          Increased sweat and oil production call for a deeper cleanse. If you’re not already double cleansing in the evening, the pros recommend starting this summer. “With SPF layering and increased sweat, double cleansing can be more beneficial to break down products and excess oil on the skin,” Dr. Boakye says.\n<\/p>\n

          New York-based esthetician Samantha Susca notes that implementing a deeper cleansing process also allows repair-oriented products to counteract any damage caused by environmental factors.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          \n

          Ditch the Heavy Formulas <\/span><\/h2>\n

          During the summer, you probably don’t need to use intensely rich creams. Layering SPF and makeup on top of a heavy moisturizer can increase the risk of clogged pores and breakouts. “Switching to a lighter moisturizer, such as gel or a water-based product, hydrates without clogging pores and won’t leave you feeling greasy,” Dr. Newman says.\n<\/p>\n

          The same goes for your face wash. During the winter, a creamy cleanser may be ideal for fighting dryness, but come summer, a lighter consistency will be much more beneficial. “Look for gel or foam textures that offer a deep clean without adding excess oil,” Susca says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          Consider a Hydrating Toner <\/span><\/h2>\n

          Hydration remains an essential step in your summer skincare routine. Along with serums, toners can boost your skin’s moisture. “Incorporating a hydrating toner or essence twice a day will help maintain proper hydration levels,” Susca notes.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          \n

          Exfoliate Weekly <\/span><\/h2>\n

          Exfoliating products come in many forms, ranging from physical to chemical. When summer arrives, the experts say gentle formulas and consistency are key to keeping your skin soft and supple. “With increased sweating and sunscreen use, it’s a good idea to exfoliate a few times a week to ensure your pores remain unclogged,” Dr. Newman says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          \n

          Be Mindful of Harsh Treatments <\/span><\/h2>\n

          While you don’t have to nix in-office appointments altogether, Susca suggests cutting back on any that would cause photosensitivity during the summer. Think: laser treatments and\u00a0in-office peels. Instead, try incorporating regular facials throughout the season. “Starting with a [gentle] professional treatment resets your skin, and follow-up appointments keep your complexion balanced amid environmental changes,” esthetician and founder of Danucera Skincare, Danuta Mieloch, says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          \n

          Incorporate Antioxidants <\/span><\/h2>\n

          Protecting your skin against sun exposure and environmental stressors is a tough job. Antioxidants are your skin’s best friend in warding off free radicals and other pollutants that float around outside. Dr. Kim recommends using serums containing antioxidants like vitamin C and niacinamide to maintain the health of your skin cells. “Botanical extracts such as green tea are another great antioxidant for defending the skin and supporting overall radiance,” Dr. Boakye adds.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          \n

          Use Sheet Masks <\/span><\/h2>\n

          There’s never a bad time for a sheet mask, but it turns out summer is the perfect season to use them. More than self-care, Dr. Kim notes that using a hydrating sheet mask once a week boosts hydration and allows for deeper absorption of the ingredients. Even better? They cool and soothe the skin after exposure to the sun.\n<\/p>\n

          Having a few options on hand, such as collagen hydrogels or aloe-drenched sheet masks, will instantly upgrade your routine. “Think of these as intense portable treatments that can easily be packed for vacations or used post-work during the week,” Susca says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

          \n

          The Final Takeaway <\/span><\/h2>\n

          Refreshing your summer skincare routine doesn’t have to be an overwhelming task. Making minor tweaks\u2014like swapping in lighter, gel-based products and skipping harsh treatments (like peels)\u2014can make a world of difference. “Remember, summer isn’t the time to go in hard with aggressive routines,” Dr. Boakye says. ” What your skin needs most is protection, not stress.” With a simple, intentional routine that prioritizes hydrating ingredients, suncare, and environmental protection, your skin will be glowy and radiant all season long.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
