Summer has finally arrived and the heat is here! That means a change in your skincare and bath regimen. Changing our skincare in the summer is just as important as changing it in the winter! With summer we see hot, sticky and humid weather and we want our skin to combat that. You won’t need those intensive night creams, but some minor changes can help prevent an oily or dry complexion.

Our biggest concern in the summer sunshine is SPF! Having a good quality SPF is so important to minimize sun damage, especially while being in the sun often. Dermatologists recommend a SPF of at least 30.

One big complaint with some is that some skincare can feel too oily. I like to use a water based hydration in the summer to have maximum and quick absorption. To make it even better, a water based moisturizer paired with an SPF would be perfect!

Don’t forget to exfoliate; but don’t over do it! With spray tans, shaving and all the jazz that summertime brings, exfoliating is super important! But over-exfoliating with a harsh exfoliant can have opposite effects, that is why I love our gentle foaming sugar scrub that is perfect for daily use!

Get comfy in the shade! While 15 minutes of direct sunlight is recommended for vitamin C and serotonin production, too much exposure to sunlight can lead to intense skin damage.
