Summer is the season for sunshine, beach days and glowing skin, but with the extra heat, humidity and sun exposure, your skin needs a little extra love.
At Touch MedSpa in North Myrtle Beach, we want to help you enjoy the season while keeping your skin smooth, radiant and protected. With just a few smart tweaks to your routine, you can keep your glow all summer long. That said, here are some of the top summer skincare tips you need to know…
Tip #1. Exfoliate Regularly
Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, allowing skincare products to penetrate more effectively and leave your skin looking fresh, clean and bright. During the summer, use a light exfoliant 1 to 2 times per week to avoid overstripping your skin. This keeps your complexion fresh and smooth while also preventing clogged pores due to sweat and sunscreen buildup.
That said, avoid using aggressive scrubs. Also, try to choose exfoliants such as AHAs or enzymes to get a more even, luminous glow without causing irritation.
Tip #2. Apply Hydrating Masks
In the heat of summer, a good moisturizing or clarifying mask can be really beneficial. Look for masks that soothe the skin, remove pollutants and replenish hydration. A weekly mask can help with excess oil, dullness and sun sensitivity.
At Touch MedSpa, we provide professional-grade masks tailored to your skin type and are perfect for the summer months.
Tip #3. Always Reapply Sunscreen
You’ve heard it before, and we’ll say it again: use sunscreen every day, even if you don’t spend much time outdoors. But one thing that many people forget is that you should reapply every 2 hours, especially if you’re sweating, swimming or wearing makeup.
That said, choose a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or greater, and look into brush-on or spray versions for quick touch-ups on the go.
Tip #4. Protect Your Lips and Under-Eyes
Your lips and under-eye area are thinner and more delicate than the rest of your face, making them more vulnerable to sunburn and dryness. Use an SPF lip balm and a brightening or hydrating eye cream to keep those areas smooth, plump and protected.
Wearing sunglasses also protects your eyes from UV rays and reduces squinting, which can result in fine lines or wrinkles.
Tip #5. Stay Hydrated, Both Inside and Out
Last but certainly not least, stay hydrated. Hot weather increases sweating, which can contribute to dehydration. Drink lots of water throughout the day and apply a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer to seal in moisture without clogging your pores.
Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin or aloe vera to soothe and hydrate summer skin.
