The Best Glow-Up Skincare Tips for Summer 2023

Reading Time: 4 minutes

As we gear up for summer, it’s time to refresh our skincare routines and get ready for the heat.

With long days spent outside in the sun and humidity taking a toll on our skin, it's important to prioritize skincare now more than ever.

And everyone has different skin with different needs. From preventing breakouts to achieving a glowing complexion, we've rounded up four of the best skincare tips by the complexion type you need this summer, as well as some tips anyone can use to feel and look their best.

Skincare Tips for Sun Protection by Type

When it comes to skincare, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, the best skincare routine for summer depends on your skin type.

Whether you have dry, oily, or combination skin, we’ve got you covered with the best tips and products to keep your skin healthy and glowing all season long.

If you have dry skin:

Summertime can be tough on dry skin. The heat and humidity can sap moisture from your skin, leaving it feeling parched and irritated.

To stay hydrated, look for skincare products that contain Hyaluronic Acid, a powerful ingredient that helps lock in moisture.

Also, be sure to use a gentle cleanser that won’t strip away natural oils and follow up with a hydrating moisturizer.

If you have oily skin:

Oily skin can be prone to breakouts in the summertime due to sweating and increased sebum production.

To fight breakouts and control shine, start by using a salicylic acid-based cleanser to deep clean pores.

Follow up with an oil-free moisturizer or gel to hydrate without clogging pores. And don’t forget to use broad-spectrum sunscreen!

If you have combination skin:

Combination skin can be tricky to care for in the summertime as you don’t want to overdo it with drying products but still need to control shine.

To strike the perfect balance, stick with a mild cleanser and use an oil-free moisturizer on your T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) only.

When it comes to sunscreen, opt for one that’s labeled “light” or “oil-free” so you don’t end up exacerbating shine.

Natural Ways to Improve Your Skin’s Health

When it comes to skincare, there are endless products and treatments available on the market. However, not all of them are necessarily good for your skin.

In fact, some of them can even do more harm than good. That’s why it’s always best to stick to natural methods whenever possible.

Here are some natural ways to improve your skin’s health this summer.

  • Drink plenty of water: Drinking lots of water is one of the best things you can do for your skin (and your overall health). It helps keep your skin hydrated and plump, and wards off wrinkles. Make sure to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day during the summer months.

  • Eat healthy foods: What you eat shows up on your skin, so make sure you’re eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, and other nourishing foods. Stay away from sugar and processed foods as much as possible, as they can damage your skin cells and lead to premature aging.

  • Get enough sleep: Sleep is when your body repairs itself, so make sure you’re getting enough rest each night. 7-8 hours is ideal, but even just 6 hours can make a big difference in the appearance of your skin. Lack of sleep can cause dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines.

Time to Glow Up This Summer

With these skincare tips, you’ll be glowing all season long! Don't forget to wear sunscreen, exfoliate regularly, moisturize after being in the sun and drink plenty of water throughout the day. Your skin will thank you!
