Summer is a great time for getting out and having some fun in the sun. But don’t forget to protect your skin as well. Here are some tips for beautiful skin this summer.
Your skincare routine should change in the summer months to keep you active without risking damage to your beautiful skin.
Many women choose to forgo their makeup. If you don’t think you can do that, at least go lighter. You may wash your face differently, or mix up the products that you use now versus in the winter months.
Here are some tips for taking care of your skin this time of year.
3 Tips For Beautiful Skin This Summer
Your skin is your biggest organ and it’s the only skin you get. It’s exposed to the elements, protects you from pollution and cuts and scrapes, and it does so much more for you. It’s important that you do your best to take care of your skin each and every day.
1. Protect yourself from the sun
No matter how much fun you are having in the sun, it’s vital you protect your skin. This means you should always use sunscreen and be sure to use it properly.
You may also want to wear a hat to protect your face, and clothing to protect your skin if you will be exposed for a long time.
Even people with dark skin will want to protect their skin from the sun. A “tan” is sun damage and it can cause your skin to age prematurely and increase your risk of skin cancer.
If you happen to stay in the sun too long, use lavender oil to heal sunburn.

2. Hydrate your skin
Hydration is important all year long, but it’s even more important in the summer months that are extra hot.
There are two main ways to hydrate your skin:
- from within by drinking more fluids, especially water
- from the outside with a moisturizing skin lotion

3. Reduce or skip the makeup
Going without makeup in the summer is best. But, if you love your makeup, then try to alter your makeup plan so you wear less of it in the hot months.
This is best anyway, as the makeup tends to melt or slide off your face when it’s hot and you’re sweating.
It can also clog your pores and lead to more breakouts and blotchy skin. Healthy skin is able to breathe, so limiting the makeup will help with this. It will also feel better to lighten up the makeup or just go bare in the summer months while you are enjoying fun in the sun or on the water.
I hope that these tips for beautiful skin will help you plan your summer skincare routine. Even small changes can make a big difference.
