Should I change my moisturizer now that it’s summer?
Weather changes always affect the skin, so it’s a good idea to modify your regular home care routine now that summer is here.
Because the weather is warmer and more humid, substitute your nighttime moisturizer for a lighter one or even a facial oil or serum.
During the day use a light emulsion or light gel followed by a sunblock in order to protect the skin against ultraviolet damage and pigmentation. Look for a formula that contains zinc oxide, as that will reflect the rays away from the skin.
Keeping a hydrating mist on hand is an easy way to help retain moisture in the skin and prevent dehydration from the sun. Apply the mist after cleansing and prior to your moisturizer.
Finally, switching your cleanser from a creamy one to a light foaming cleanser will help clarify the skin and prevent clogging of the pores caused by humidity.
