7 summer skincare mistakes to avoid

             Written by: Mantasha

Summer is here, and while beach trips and barbecues are fun, the heat and sun can be tough on your skin. A simple summer skin care routine with a cleanser, lightweight moisturizer, and SPF can help keep your skin healthy and glowing.

Sweat, dirt, and oil build up on your skin throughout the day, making it look greasy and clogged. Cleanse your face morning and night to keep it fresh. If you're short on time, use micellar water for a quick, no-rinse option.

Sun and sand can leave your skin dry and rough. Gently exfoliate once or twice a week to remove dead skin and improve texture. Use a mild scrub for smoother skin.

Even if your skin feels oily, don’t skip moisturizer. Use a lightweight, oil-free formula to keep your skin balanced and hydrated without feeling greasy.

Sun protection is essential year-round but even more important in summer. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every morning and reapply every two hours.

Face masks can target summer skin concerns like oiliness, dullness, and rough texture. Use a clay mask to absorb excess oil or a hydrating mask to refresh dry skin.

Flip-flops and sandals expose your feet to the elements. Apply a thick moisturizer to your feet before bed and wear socks to keep them soft.

Neglecting Your Feet

It’s easy to forget areas like your ears, lips, and feet when you’re in a hurry. Take your time to apply sunscreen and moisturizer to all exposed areas for complete protection.
