Summer Skincare: The Perfect Skincare Routine This Summer
Bring On The Summer Season
The summer months are always welcome. Sunshine, beaches and long blissful summer days can be the best times of the year. But this time of the year can also take a toll on your skin. This doesn’t mean we have to avoid the sun, but it’s important to adjust your skincare routine to the seasonal change.
Weather can have a big influence on our complexion, so let's learn how to protect it while we're enjoying the sun! How does the warmer weather impact our skin?
How does the warmer weather impact our skin?
Combined with humidity and heat, the increase in temperatures causes the sebaceous glands in our skin to work overtime. This means oily skin might become oilier and dry skin may become rough and patchy. Additionally, with more contact to water, like beaches or pools, our skin may also become dehydrated.
In summer, you might want to opt for skincare products with a lighter consistency, like gel cream moisturisers. Using these types of products will keep your skin feeling hydrated without being too heavy on your skin. If you have oily skin, they may also help in minimising shine.

Warmer weather means feeling hot and sticky, so it's recommended to tweak your skin routine to ensure your skin is feeling cool, yet still hydrated.
1. Double Cleansing is Key
Summer activities mean the skin will feel it all - skincare, makeup, sweat, sand and SPF. At the end of the day you want to be thoroughly cleansing the skin, and what better way to do that than with a cleansing oil.
Cleanse first with your cleansing oil, then follow with a gel or creamy cleanser to ensure your skin has been properly clean (and ready to accept any active ingredients from your serums or oils).

Spritz a toning mist onto the skin for hydration and to damp the skin before pressing in your serum.

To lock in all the moisture from your routine, you’ll want to apply a moisturiser. Once the weather heats up, you might want to opt for a gel cream, which has a lighter consistency.
Jojoba Water Gel Cream is a hydrating, water-based moisturiser which is incredibly lightweight, making it perfect for those warmer days.

In your daytime summer routine, you’ll want to finish with SPF as the last step in your routine.
Multi Defence Moisturiser with SPF15 is a great moisturiser for incidental sun exposure but if you're in the sun for long periods of time it's best to wear an SPF 50+ and reapply throughout the day.
