SKINDAYS SUMMER

6 Step Guide to Healthy & Glowing Skin this Summer

Step 1: SPF – Don’t leave the House Without It!

This summer, prioritise your skin’s health by wearing SPF (Sun Protection Factor). At Skindays, we strongly recommend using a sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30. Opt for a broad spectrum protection that shields your face, ears, neck, and any sun-exposed skin.

Why is SPF crucial? It acts as a barrier against harmful UVA and UVB rays, effectively reducing the risk of skin cancer and preventing signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles.

Skindays Pro-tip: Don’t overlook the importance of protecting your lips. Often neglected, the skin on your lips is prone to visible sun damage and premature aging. Make sure to generously apply sun protection to this area as well.

Step 2: Hydrate with Lightweight Moisturisers

The summer weather can dehydrate our skin quickly, making it essential to moisturise regularly. A moisturiser with hyaluronic acid can help to retain moisture, keeping your skin plump and hydrated. Swap out heavy creams for lightweight moisturisers that will not clog pores and weigh down your skin for the ultimate spring hydration!

Step 3: Optimise your Skincare Routine with Regular (weekly) Exfoliation

During the summer months, increased heat and humidity can make your skin oilier and more susceptible to pore clogging. Daily exposure to environmental factors like dirt, makeup, debris, sweat, and air moisture can contribute to the appearance of larger pores and increased acne.

That’s why exfoliating at least once a week is crucial. By removing dead skin cells from the surface of your skin, exfoliation helps deep-clean your pores and promotes a smooth skin tone. It also aids in preventing acne by facilitating increased skin cell turnover.

Skindays Pro-tip: Remember not to over-exfoliate. Find a balance that works for your skin type and be sure to incorporate SPF into your skincare routine to protect your exfoliated skin from the sun’s harmful rays.

Step 4: Harness the power of Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid for radiant skin!

Vitamin C, a potent antioxidant, plays a vital role in safeguarding your skin against sun damage and supporting its repair process. Hyaluronic Acid (HA), on the other hand, is renowned for its ability to plump and retain moisture within your skin.

For optimal results, we recommend incorporating these two ingredients into your skincare routine. In the morning, start by applying Vitamin C, allowing it to work its magic. Follow it up with Hyaluronic Acid to enhance the benefits. Finally, seal in the goodness with a moisturizer and don’t forget to apply SPF for sun protection.

Skindays Pro-tip: During summer mornings, combine Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid for a rejuvenating boost. In the evenings, focus solely on Hyaluronic Acid to replenish your skin’s moisture.

Step 5: Sun-Kissed and Smooth – Show Your Body Some Summer Lovin’!

While we often focus on skincare for the face, it’s essential to extend our care to the rest of our body during the summer months. The combination of heat, sun exposure, and increased outdoor activities can leave our skin feeling dry and in need of moisture.

Moisturising is key to maintaining healthy and hydrated skin. Choose a body lotion or cream that suits your skin type and apply it generously after showering or bathing. Look for products that contain nourishing ingredients like shea butter, aloe vera, or hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture and keep your skin supple.

Additionally, remember to exfoliate your body regularly to remove dead skin cells and promote smoother skin texture. This can be done using a gentle body scrub or exfoliating mitt, paying attention to areas prone to dryness, such as elbows, knees, and heels. And let’s not forget sun protection for the body! Apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to exposed areas whenever you’ll be spending time outdoors. This helps shield your skin from harmful UV rays and prevents sunburn and long-term damage.

Skindays Pro-tip: Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Hydration from within is just as important for your skin’s health as external moisturisation.

Step 6: Opt for a lighter makeup approach this summer with tinted moisturisers!

When the temperature rises, it’s best to let your skin breathe and opt for a lighter makeup routine. Tinted moisturisers are a perfect choice as they provide hydration, sun protection, and a touch of colour in one product.

Tinted moisturisers offer a more natural and lightweight coverage compared to heavy foundations. They allow your skin to shine through while evening out your complexion and providing a subtle, dewy glow. Additionally, many tinted moisturisers come with built-in SPF, offering an extra layer of sun protection for your skin.
