First Step First: Understand your Skin Type:

Understanding your skin type is key to developing an effective skincare routine. There are five skin types: oily, dry, combination, sensitive, and normal. Oily skin produces excess oil and is prone to shine and breakouts. Dry skin often feels tight, flaky, and lacks moisture. Combination skin has boththe characteristics of oily and dry skin. Sensitive skin is easily irritated and may react to certain products. Normal skin is well-balanced with few issues. By identifying your skin type, you can select products and create a tailored regimen that addresses your specific concerns and helps you achieve healthy, radiant skin.

 

 

Make SPF your Best Friend:

The summer sun can get harsh on your skin, so protecting it from harmful UV rays should be your top priority. Here are some tips to keep your skin safe from sun damage:

Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 or higher. Apply it generously to all exposed body areas, including your face, neck, and hands. Re apply every two hours or more frequently if you’re sweating or swimming. Seek shade during peak sun hours (usually between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.) when the sun’s rays are the strongest. You can try out our Jan Marini Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 33. This product is specially designed to cater to the needs of all skin types.

 

With a proper understanding of sun protection, including using sunscreen with the right SPF, protecting your eyes and lips, reapplying regularly, and choosing the appropriate sunscreen type, you’re well on your way to enjoying a safe and sunburn-free summer.

Hydrate your Skin:

The summer heat can leave your skin feeling parched. Hydration is the key to maintaining a healthy complexion. Drink plenty of water throughout your day to stay hydrated from within. Aim for at least eight glasses a day.

Now, let’s talk moisturizers. Heavy and greasy moisturizers can feel overwhelming when the weather gets warmer. So, what should you opt for instead? You got it—lightweight and oil-free moisturizers! They’ll provide your skin’s hydration without that icky, heavy feeling. Here’s a secret ingredient that works wonders for locking in moisture—hyaluronic acid! It’s like a hydration magnet for your skin, attracting and retaining moisture. So, watch for moisturizers or serums that feature this super-hydrating ingredient.

And guess what? Facial mists are like refreshing dewdrops for your face! Spritzing a facial mist throughout the day not only feels amazing, but it also gives your skin a quick boost of hydration. True or False? True, my friend! So go ahead, spritz away, and enjoy that refreshing mist on your skin!

By keeping yourself hydrated, using lightweight moisturizers, embracing the magic of hyaluronic acid, and indulging in facial mists, you’ll be on your way to maintaining a well-hydrated and radiant complexion all summer.

Cleanse and Exfoliate your Skin Regularly :

With increased sweat and oil production during the summer, it’s important to adjust your cleansing routine accordingly. Adjust your cleansing routine to suit the summer months and maintain a fresh complexion. Here are some steps to keep your skin radiant and dirt free in summer:

Wash your face with gentle cleanser twice daily to remove dirt, excess oil, and sweat. If you have an oily or acne-prone skin, consider using a salicylic acid cleanser to help unclog pores and control breakouts. Avoid hot water, as it can strip off your skin of essential oils. Opt for lukewarm water instead. Our Jan Marini Bioglycolic Face Cleanser offers deep cleansing in a non-irritating cream base, leaving the skin soft and supple. Exfoliate your skin once or twice a week with a gentle exfoliator to remove dead skin cells and promote a smoother complexion. However, be cautious not to over-exfoliate, as it can irritate. Circadia Micro-Exfoliating Honey Cleanser, patented with micro-beads of natural beeswax, gently cleanses and exfoliates while absorbing excess oil from the skin.

Dont Forget the Toner:

Toner is an unsung hero in a summer skincare routine, offering many benefits for your skin. During the hot summer, toner can be your best friend in maintaining a fresh and balanced complexion. Thanks to astringent ingredients like witch hazel or tea tree oil, it works wonders in controlling excess oil. Additionally, some toners are infused with hydrating components such as glycerin or hyaluronic acid, which provide a much-needed moisture boost to combat dehydration caused by the summer heat. The application of toner is a refreshing experience, as it delivers instant refreshment and soothes the skin. Our Exquisite Face + Body Ultra Hydrating Facial Toner infused with sea salt effortlessly replenishes your skin’s natural moisture barrier. Combined with prebiotics, it repairs and balances your complexion, leaving it perfectly hydrated and replenished.

Stay hydrated. 

You know how much water you need per day, but did you know that this number changes during the summer? In fact, drink even more water than usual—a little less than 2 liters per day will help keep your body running smoothly and keep your skin looking great!

Drinking lots of water keeps your skin from getting dehydrated and looking dull, which is especially important in dry and hot climates. If you don’t drink enough water, your body will take moisture from other areas like your hands or face, and you surely dont want that.  Staying hydrated will also help flush toxins out of your body, which means less breakouts! And who doesn’t want that?

So be sure to drink up!

Eat Well and Get Plenty of Sleep

When it comes to tips on skincare, eating well and getting adequete sleepnever gets old. Eat well during the summer months! Make sure you eat a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. You’ll want to make sure that your body has all the nutrients it needs to support your skin’s natural processes and prevent any damage from occurring during this time of year. A healthy diet can also help improve your mood and energy levels as well!

Get plenty of sleep! Sleep deprivation can cause stress on your body and mind, which can lead to dry skin and dull hair. To combat this effect, try setting an alarm for 8 hours before bedtime and making sure that you wake up at the same time every day even if it means getting up early on the weekends. When possible, try going outside for a walk or run in the morning sunlight before starting your day at work so that you can take advantage of all those vitamin D benefits while they’re still fresh!
