Summer Skin Care From Aesthetic Dose: Tips for Healthy, Glowing Skin

Summer is here, and that means longer days, warmer temperatures, more time outdoors, and more sun. While enjoying the sunshine is wonderful, it’s essential to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful effects. Aesthetic Dose wants to explain how summer and heat impact the skin, common conditions that can arise, and practical tips to keep your skin healthy all season long.


Impact of Summer and Heat on the Skin


  1. Increased UV Exposure: Longer daylight hours mean more exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UV rays can damage skin cells, leading to premature aging, sunburns, and an increased risk of skin cancer. Always wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and reapply every two hours when outdoors.
  2. Heat and Oil Production: Hot weather can cause the skin to produce more oil, leading to clogged pores and acne breakouts. To combat this, use a gentle cleanser to remove excess oil without stripping your skin of essential moisture.
  3. Dehydration: Sweating in the heat can lead to dehydration, affecting your skin’s overall health. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and using lightweight, water-based moisturizers to maintain skin hydration.


Common Summer Skin Conditions


  1. Sunburn: Prolonged sun exposure can cause painful sunburns. Apply sunscreen generously and seek shade during peak hours (10 am to 4 pm) to prevent sunburns.
  2. Acne Flare-Ups: Increased oil production can worsen acne. Use oil-free, non-comedogenic products and consider exfoliating to keep pores clear.
  3. Hyperpigmentation: Sun exposure can cause dark spots and uneven skin tone. Protect your skin with sunscreen and consider using products with antioxidants to prevent pigmentation.

Tips for Healthy Summer Skin


  1. Sunscreen: Apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day, even on cloudy days. Look for broad-spectrum protection to shield against both UVA and UVB rays.
  2. Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within. Use lightweight, oil-free moisturizers to maintain skin moisture levels.
  3. Exfoliation: Regular exfoliation removes dead skin cells, promoting a fresh, radiant complexion. Consider using gentle chemical exfoliants or physical scrubs.
  4. Lighter Makeup: Opt for lightweight, breathable makeup to prevent clogged pores. BB creams or tinted moisturizers are great alternatives to heavy foundations.
