How to Prep Your Skin for Summer: Top Skincare Tips for Sun-Ready Glow
As temperatures rise, it’s time to refresh your skincare routine for the summer season. From daily SPF to lightweight hydration, preparing your skin for warmer weather helps protect against sun damage, prevent breakouts, and keep your complexion radiant and healthy all summer long.
Why Summer Skincare Matters
In the summer, your skin tends to retain moisture better than during colder months—but that also means you’re more prone to oiliness and clogged pores. A proper summer skincare routine ensures your skin stays balanced, hydrated, and protected from harmful UV rays.
Step-by-Step Guide to Summer-Ready Skin
1. Exfoliate Gently and Consistently
Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, revealing a brighter and smoother complexion.
-
Use a chemical exfoliant (like AHAs or BHAs) 1–3 times per week
-
Jan Marini’s Bioclear Face Lotion is a great option, featuring a blend of 3 powerful hydroxyl acids
2. Hydrate Without the Heaviness
Summer heat may cause dehydration, even with increased oil production.
-
Switch to a lightweight moisturizer with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid
-
Drink plenty of water to hydrate your skin from within
3. Apply Broad-Spectrum SPF Daily
SPF is non-negotiable when it comes to summer skincare.
-
Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher
-
Reapply every two hours, especially when swimming or sweating
-
Favorites: Jan Marini Skin Research and Obagi Sunscreens
4. Switch to Summer-Friendly Skincare Products
Heavier creams can feel too occlusive in the heat.
-
Use gel-based moisturizers or lightweight serums
-
Avoid pore-clogging products
5. Don’t Forget Lip Protection
Lips are often forgotten but just as vulnerable.
-
Use a lip balm with SPF to prevent dryness and sunburn
6. Cleanse Smartly
With more sweat and oil, proper cleansing is key.
-
Use a gentle daily cleanser to remove dirt and buildup
-
Avoid overly harsh products that strip your skin’s natural barrier
7. Stay Cool and Covered
Limit direct sun exposure during peak hours (10 a.m. – 4 p.m.).
-
Wear protective clothing and a wide-brimmed hat
-
Take cool showers to calm sun-exposed skin
8. Use After-Sun Care to Soothe
After sun exposure, soothe your skin to prevent irritation.
-
Aloe vera gels or after-sun lotions work wonders for replenishing moisture
