Summer Moisturizing Tips

We all wish to keep our skin from becoming dry. Not only does dry skin frequently feel uncomfortable and seem less beautiful, but neglecting to adequately hydrate our skin may also cause our skin to age prematurely! However, after the cold and dry winter months are gone and the warm and humid summer months come, it is easy to get into a pattern of neglecting our skincare regimens. We may be less inclined to use our heavy lotions because of the increased humidity; nevertheless, we must continue to moisturize! It is true that many individuals experience increased dryness and irritation of the skin during the summer months, but many are unsure of how to cope with it. Continue reading for our recommendations for staying supple and radiant this summer.

We all want hydrated skin. Dry skin is itchy and unattractive, but it can also prematurely age our skin! After the winter months, when the weather is hot and dry, it’s easy to neglect our skincare routines. Humidity can make us dislike heavy lotions, but we must moisturize! Summer causes increased dryness and irritation of the skin, and many people don’t know how to deal with it. Stay supple and glowing this summer with our Summer Moisturizing Tips

Drink Water

If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you’ve probably seen this advice. And rightly so! Staying hydrated is probably the most important piece of skin care advice. Particularly in the summer, when the body sweats more than usual. We feel cooler as sweat evaporates, but our skin can become thirsty and dry. Buy yourself a cute summer water bottle. This will keep your skin moisturized and keep you safe this summer. For those extra hot days, keep hydrating supplements handy.

Invest In Good Products

Like I said earlier, luxurious lotions can feel heavy in the humid summer months. Nobody wants to be sticky or sweat off their lotion! Instead, opt for a dry skin face powder during the summer. Intensely moisturizing, these powders keep you looking great. Plus, they protect you from the sun!

Wear sunscreen

Sunscreen is another important aspect of skin health that goes beyond summer. Every day, sunscreen should be worn to avoid UV damage. With the increase in outdoor activities, finding the right sunscreen to keep your skin moisturized is critical. Many spray sunscreens sold in convenience stores contain alcohol, which can be irritating to the skin. The alcohol helps the product dry faster, but it also dries your skin. Choose alcohol-free or moisturizing sunscreens to protect your skin in multiple ways. Use cute summer hats and umbrellas to protect yourself from the sun.

Limit Your Shower Time

Taking a hot shower has many health benefits, including reducing stress and joint and muscle pain. They also feel amazing. Unfortunately, long hot showers can exacerbate skin dryness. Excessive exposure to hot water can strip our skin of its natural protective oils, causing irritation and redness. To avoid this, take shorter showers (5-10 minutes) or use more after-shower moisturizers.

Opt for Fragrance-Free Items

When looking for skincare products, consider the chemicals used to make them smell good. These additives are often harsh on the skin, leaving it dry and irritated. These products are more natural and gentle on our skin. Unscented is not the same as fragrance-free! While “unscented” products typically contain chemicals added to mask the smell of other chemicals in the product, “fragrance-free” products are made without those chemicals. More knowledge = better hydration!

Maintaining a healthy, youthful complexion requires year-round skin care. All of these moisturizing suggestions (Summer Moisturizing Tips) will help your skin look and feel its best.
