While summertime brings fun trips and family get-togethers, it's no secret that the season brings its own set of skin challenges. If you're facing any of these issues, know that you're not alone:
Sun Damage: Sunburns, rashes and premature aging are all signs of sun damage. With longer days and more time spent outdoors, it's easy to forget the do's and don'ts of sun protection.
Dehydration: Heat, sweat and outdoor activities can lead to dehydrated skin that's lost its fullness and glow.
Clogged Pores and Breakouts: The combination of sunscreen, sweat and excess oil production can clog pores and lead to pesky breakouts.
Hyperpigmentation or Melasma: Increased sun exposure can cause dark spots and skin discoloration, especially for those with darker skin tones.
Dryness and Flakiness: Despite the humidity, summer can still cause dryness, especially if you're spending a lot of time in air-conditioned spaces or neglecting sunscreen application.
Irritation: Be it from bug bites, allergic reactions or skin chafing from summer activities, irritated skin is a common summer woe.
While these issues may seem frustrating at first, don't worry! With the right summer skincare approach, you can easily restore your skin's health.
HOW TO REFRESH & RECOVER YOUR SKIN AFTER SUMMER
As fall approaches, now's the perfect time to give your skin some much-needed care. Follow these steps to achieve a glowing, refreshed complexion after summer.
1. USE A GENTLE CLEANSER TWICE A DAY
Summer can leave your skin feeling oily, sweaty and congested, making it crucial to cleanse at the start of your morning and evening summer skincare regimens. Find a cleanser that's gentle and soothing, like GlyMed Plus Idyllic Cleanser with 3% Mandelic Acid. This professional product suits all skin types and provides added exfoliation and anti-aging benefits.
2. EXFOLIATE, EXFOLIATE, EXFOLIATE
Exfoliation is key in removing dead skin cells, clearing clogged pores and reducing hyperpigmentation present after summer. However, avoid intensive scrubs and acids, especially if your skin is already irritated. Instead, opt for gentle physical exfoliators like Peptide Micro Scrub, which can be mixed with cleansers and masques to streamline your routine.
