This summer, Stay Gorgeous With 6 Must Have Skincare Products

When the warm weather hits, you gladly trade your sweaters for tank tops, swap your boots for sandals, and strip the heavy comforter off your bed. One more thing you may want to change: your skincare routine. Make sure you have these products in your arsenal to stay cool in summer.

A De-greasing Cleanser

When your skin is oily, a creamy, hydrating cleanser just won’t cut it. Switch to a gentle foaming formula that will break down excess sebum. This may provide you some sort of de-greasing effect—especially at night, when you’re left with a day’s worth of buildup.

A Herbal Toner

Forget those harsh, skin-stripping astringents of the past that relied mainly on alcohol to dry out skin. Today’s toners use a gentler approach, turning to botanical ingredients and essential oils that work as natural astringents while also hydrating and soothing skin. Post-cleanser, swipe a toner-soaked cotton ball over oil-prone areas like your t-zone.

Hydrating Lip Gloss

You may or may not want to wear lots of colours on your lips during summers, but one safe bet to save your lips from being nude is to wear a hydrating lip gloss. Go for ones that come in fruity scents to make you feel fresh through the day. If your lip gloss doesn’t contain SPF, wear a lip balm with SPF underneath it.

Sunscreen

Sunscreen is your best mate through summers Make sure you check your SPF’s and apply it at least 30 minutes before stepping out in the sun. Also, if you’re going to wear makeup, give the sunscreen some time to settle on your skin before you apply other products.

Revitalising Night Cream

If you just can’t bear the thought of slopping a load of creams and potions on your face before heading out into the blazing summer heat then the least you can do is try give something back to your skin when you get home. After you’ve brushed your teeth and washed your face and you’re ready to go to bed, why not put on a little night-time moisturizer. A night cream lets you recharge your skin overnight; giving you fuss-free hydration and comfort come morning.

Mild Exfoliator

Sloughing off the top, dead layer of skin may reveal a brighter complexion, but it can also make your skin more sensitive to the sun. You should exfoliate Your skin since dead skin mixed with sweat and sebum is a recipe for clogged pores. So, just stick to once or twice a week and use a gentle scrub with smooth particles.
