Tips for a Perfect Looking Skin During Summer

We love summer but hate what it can do to skin: Hot, humid weather wreaks havoc on an otherwise clear complexion. Before you resolve to stay inside your air-conditioned home until autumn, take a look at our strategies for avoiding summer skin care disasters.

We all love summer season, but we also hate it because of the effects it has on our skin. A hot, moist weather can cause significant problems to our skin and our clear complexion. So, if you’re planning to stay inside your air-conditioned house until the autumn season, you need to check out some useful tips for avoiding skin care issues during the summer season.

Don’t Buy Heavy Products

Summer season is the worst time for heavy foundations and overall makeups. The last thing you want while having a drink on a patio or talking to a handsome guy at your backyard BBQ is to have your foundation and mascara slowly sliding off your face. A moist face or sweat makes the makeup get stuck in your pores, eventually causing breakouts. To avoid such scenarios, go for tinted moisturizers and a little hint of bronzer to the parts of your face where the sun could affect more. So, keep the use of heavy products to a minimum, the less, the better.

Overnight Skin Care

When overexposed to sunlight, your skin can massively take a beating. Night moisturizers and overnight facials are ideal because they effectively refill or stock up the moisture loss in your skin and helps in re-boosting collagen production.

Go for a faux tan

A small amount of bronze over your face can even out your skin tone and avoid the unnecessary need for makeup. Moisturizing every day with a little bit of self-tanner can help you achieve the pre-summer glow – its healthier and safer than UV rays as well.

Never Forget the Sunscreen

Summer is mostly about spending a lot of time in the path of sun’s rays that can cause real damage to your skin. Applying sunscreen over your face before leaving home may seem like a chore, but it’s the most important skin care step in the summer season. Use sunscreen under the makeup to ensure that you are protected wherever you go, to the office, or a park, or the beach. If you plan to go to the pool, you must put a sunscreen in your bag so that you can reapply it throughout the day. Add sunglasses and hat to your list of summer essentials, too.

Don't skip moisturizer

You just cannot apply makeup as soon as you get up in the morning, if you use a thick moisturizer in the morning before you have any makeup, there is a high chance that you won’t have enough time to get it absorbed in your face and do its thing. I would recommend using an overnight cream. They aren’t expensive and are worth the money because it has natural ingredients that will have your skin look and feel wonderful. You will be waking up with a glowing, hydrated skin that feels much smoother and ready for any makeup.

Exfoliate Frequently

Sun rays, sweat, and sand, not to forget the makeup melting in your pores, makes exfoliation an essential part of your summer skin care plans. Do it twice a week or depending on your skin type. If you have sensitive skin, it would be better for you to have one scrub session a week, however, for normal or dry skin, twice a week is ideal.

Use a Primer

If you’re going to have makeup done, you should use a primer. Primer is useful in keeping your makeup go on smoothly throughout the day. However, most primers are made for normal or oily skins. Luckily there are so many hydrating primers available to you that can prepare your skin for any makeup without drying it. Primers are very similar to gel moisturizers.

Even out Your Skin Tone with BB Cream

Keeping foundations away from yourself in the summer season is vital. When the thing gets moisty and sweaty, it’s not fine to have that much makeup moving on your face. Instead of worrying about the makeup, use a BB cream that can even out your overall skin tone and then apply a concealer if needed.

Go for Waterproof Concealer

Since BB creams don’t entirely cover all your blemishes and dark spots, you can add some concealers on times when you want extra coverage. In the winter season, you can opt for a light creamy concealer (but not for summers). There are so many cheap concealers you can buy that are perfect for summer season. Just warm a small amount of concealer between your fingers to have it spread smoothly over your dry skin, and mix well.

Apply Powder when Required

The setting powder is ideal for setting your makeup and reducing shimmering effects  from your face. But if you have extremely dry skin, you need to stay away from powders. To avoid that unwanted shine, use a small amount of powder and concentrate it on your T-zone, i.e. forehead and nose.

Set with Spray

Lastly, using a setting spray can keep your makeup in place without making your face look dry. If you hate and avoid powder, then you can easily opt for setting sprays which will work fine for your skin.

You can easy control your skin, no matter what season it is. The main thing is you should know what your skin type is and what you can do to make it stand-out in the most vulnerable weather conditions. There are so many products that you can try, But it’s all comes down to how you want to take proper care of your skin.
