📣 Reserve your exfoliants for nighttime
During the summer, we want to strengthen our skin barrier so it can keep our skin hydrated and protected from the sun’s UV rays. Over-exfoliating though can leave our skin vulnerable to sun damage. To prevent this, use exfoliants only at night and only a few nights a week.
📣 User toner with with aloe vera and/or tea tree oil
Aloe vera is natural, antibacterial, and antimicrobial. Using a toner with aloe vera is basically a double-cleanser for your face. Especially in the summer, antibacterial properties in your skincare ingredients are essential for maintaining a fresh complexion. Tea tree oil is antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory, and has tons of different uses for the body. Toners with tea tree oil will penetrate deep into the pores to kill bacteria at the source.
📣 Never skip sunscreen
Sunscreen is paramount in preserving the skin’s youthfulness and protecting skin health. Wear sunscreen with broad spectrum SPF 30 or above everyday.
