Your skin behaves differently in summer — more humidity, more UV, more sweat. The rich cream that saved you in January is now clogging your pores. Here is exactly what to swap.
Heavy Cream to Gel Moisturizer
Rich occlusive creams feel suffocating in humidity. Switch to a water-based gel with hyaluronic acid or aloe. Neutrogena Hydro Boost and Laneige Water Bank are excellent options.
SPF 30 to SPF 50
You should wear sunscreen year-round, but summer calls for an upgrade. Modern SPF 50 formulas are so lightweight you will not notice the difference. Reapply every two hours outdoors.
Add Vitamin C Serum
Summer is perfect for adding vitamin C to your morning routine. It boosts sunscreen effectiveness and brightens dark spots. Apply after cleansing, before moisturizer and SPF.
Do not forget: Your lips, ears, and the backs of your hands. These areas show sun damage faster than anywhere else.
