Top 7 Tips for Keeping Your Skin Healthy This Summer
July 30 2021
Individuals may notice that they experience more frequent skin irritation and breakouts during the summer months. Summer by nature means higher temperatures and changing humidity levels, which can result in increased sun exposure, sweating, and clogged pores. Unlike winter months that leave your skin feeling dry and chapped, skin often becomes oily and more prone to pimples. When it comes to summer skincare, you may not realize your skincare routine will need to be changed after the harsh winter months.7 Summer Skincare Tips:
1. Protect Your Skin from the Sun
Before leaving the house, apply sunblock and use makeup that has SPF protection when possible. For those who are photosensitive, consider adding a stylish hat or parasol to your look!
2. Wash Away Any Chemicals
Swimming can result in skin exposure to harsh chemicals and elements that can cause irritation and lead to breakouts. Make sure you take a cleansing shower after each swim.
3. Change Which Products you UseAs mentioned, winter tends to cause dry and chapped skin while summer often results in oily skin and clogged pores. It is best to switch out those hydrating facial cleansers for a product to help combat oily skin. Vistoso Medspa in Toronto offers physician-grade face and eye masks that can help soothe and hydrate your skin.
4. Stay Hydrated
During the summer months, it can be harder to stay hydrated and dehydration can cause a slew of skincare problems, including increased pore size which results in more clogging and irritation.
5. Use Less Makeup
With heat exposure often resulting in sweat in conjunction with other skincare concerns during summer, makeup can cause more irritation and essentially sweat right off!
6. Nourishing Serums
Treat your skin to some extra nourishment during the summer months. Our Vitamin C serum is designed to help your skin stay healthy and young.
7. Exfoliate and Moisturize
Exfoliation is a good idea year-round, but it can be especially helpful in the summer. Our medical-grade chemical peels can help to cleanse your pores from any dead skin or buildup that your daily routine isn't able to address.
