Why you need to switch up your skincare routine for summer

Start with an exfoliating wash
As the weather warms up, our skin typically becomes oilier, and we produce much more sweat throughout the day. This means that our skin becomes more prone to acne, as pores become clogged with impurities, sweat and oil during the day.

Opt for a l ighter moisturiser
Whilst during the winter, it’s important to use richer, thicker moisturisers to maintain hydration levels and condition the skin, in the hotter weather, lighter formulas are much more effective. Using fewer products with lighter consistencies prevents the skin becoming too oily or saturated in the hot weather. A light moisturiser alone is enough to lock in moisture throughout the day to keep your skin looking fresh.

Incorporate anti-pigmentation products
Skin discolouration and pigmentation can often become worse during the summer months due to prolonged sun exposure. Using an anti-pigmentation product with ingredients such as Hyaluronic acid or Thiamidol can help to reduce the appearance of marks or discolouration on the skin, as well as prevent new ones from appearing.

Discover our full range of skincare products on LOOKFANTASTIC
As someone with an affinity for all things beauty, discovering fantastic new products is my not-so-secret obsession. Over the years I've tried and tested a mountains worth of creams, serums and cleansers, finding some of my favourite 'holy-grail' products along the way. However, I'm always on the lookout for more ways to nourish my hair, perfect my dewy base, or enhance my skincare routine. Working as a beauty blogger for over 3 years, I've been lucky enough to collaborate personally with lots of amazing beauty brands including Christian Dior, The Body Shop and Dermalogica. I've used the Dermalogica special cleansing gel religiously since I first got it and their products are some of my ultimate skincare faves. When it comes to cosmetics, NARS Sheer Glow foundation is definitely my go-to - I live for a light, glowy base!
