Summer is all fun and games until your skin starts feeling like the Sahara Desert. Between the scorching sun, air conditioning, and all those poolside margaritas (we see you), your skin is probably thirstier than you after a hot yoga class. But fear not! Here are five foolproof ways to keep your skin plump, hydrated, and glowing all summer long.

Lighten Up Your Skincare Routine

Your thick winter moisturizer? Time to swap it for something lighter. In hot weather, your skin needs hydration without the heavy, greasy feeling. Look for water-based or gel moisturizers with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and glycerin. These will keep your skin dewy without making you feel like an oil slick by noon.

Drink Up – And No, We Don’t Mean More Cocktails

Water is your skin’s best friend, and summer is the time to guzzle it like you mean it. Dehydration can make your skin look dull, flaky, and more prone to breakouts (ugh). Aim for at least eight glasses of water a day, and if plain water bores you, throw in some lemon slices, cucumber, or even a splash of coconut water for extra hydration and electrolytes.

Mist Away the Heat

Facial mists aren’t just for Instagram aesthetics—they’re a quick and easy way to refresh your skin throughout the day. Keep a hydrating mist in your bag for an instant cooling boost. Look for one with rose water, cucumber extract, or thermal spring water to soothe and hydrate while keeping your makeup intact.

Sunscreen, Sunscreen, Sunscreen!

Look, of course this is common knowledge, so it’s not really a breaking news tip. But, so many of us just forget that sunscreen isn’t just for vacations, it’s an everyday thing! Nothing dehydrates your skin faster than that big ol’ star in the sky. And yes, that golden tan might look cute now, but UV rays suck the moisture right out of your skin, leading to premature aging and fine lines.

Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 (or higher) every morning and reapply every two hours if you’re outside. Bonus tip: opt for a sunscreen with hydrating ingredients like Niacinamide or ceramides for extra nourishment.

Eat Your Water

Wait, what? Is this a typo?! Nope, you read that right! Staying hydrated isn’t just about what you drink – it’s also about what you eat. Load up on water-rich foods like watermelon, cucumbers, oranges, and strawberries. Not only are they delicious summer staples, but they also help keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.

Bonus Tip: Go big on facials!

At this time of year, we always see a surge in facial bookings, and with good reason! Facials are a great (and quick) way to give your skin those vital nourishments, especially if you’ve been slacking in the skincare routine department.
