Warm, heavy air changes how skin behaves. Many people find they need less product in summer, not more.
Lighten the layers
Rich creams that feel right in winter can feel heavy in humid months. A lighter gel or lotion is often enough, especially in the morning.
Sunscreen, every day
Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is the simplest habit for long-term skin health. Reapply when you are outdoors for longer, and after sweating or swimming.
Keep it simple
- Cleanse gently, morning and night
- Use a light moisturizer
- Wear sunscreen every morning
- Add active ingredients slowly, one at a time
Timing treatments
Some treatments, such as certain peels and laser options, ask for extra care with sun exposure afterwards. Your provider can help you choose the right time of year for your plan.
