Summer
Summer skincare: heat, sweat, sun.
In summer, one thing matters most: sunscreen, and enough of it. Everything else can get lighter.
What changes
- Protect: apply generously (about two finger lengths for the face) and reapply when you're outside for long.
- Moisturise: in the heat a light serum or light cream is often enough. Shiny skin can use a mattifying sunscreen instead of cream.
- Cleanse: thoroughly in the evening so sunscreen and sweat come off.
- Actives: retinoids and acids only in the evening, and always sunscreen in the morning.
- Holidays: better test new products at home. More in the travel routine.
