Why Seasonal Skincare Swaps Matter (And What to Use This Summer)

As the seasons shift, so do your skin’s needs. At Revived Skin Clinic, we’re all about educating our clients — especially when it comes to making smart, simple changes that help you maintain clear, healthy skin year-round.

One of the biggest adjustments we recommend? Seasonal skincare swaps.

Why You Should Update Your Skincare Routine with the Weather

Just like you wouldn’t wear a winter coat in July, your skin doesn’t need heavy, occlusive products in the heat and humidity. Hotter temperatures, more sun exposure, and increased oil production can lead to clogged pores, breakouts, and irritation — especially for acne-prone skin types.

That’s why a lighter, non-comedogenic moisturizer is key during spring and summer months.

Our Go-To Summer Moisturizer: Obagi Hydrate Light

This is one of our favorite swaps for clients who need hydration without the heaviness.

Obagi Hydrate Light is a summer must-have because it’s:

  • Oil-free & non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores)

  • Lightweight and breathable

  • Packed with Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate to draw in moisture

  • Contains Hydromanil for long-lasting hydration

  • Powered by Glycerin to support a strong skin barrier

Whether you have oily skin, acne-prone skin, or you just feel greasy this time of year, this product delivers the hydration your skin craves — without the extra shine.

Signs You Need a Seasonal Skincare Swap

Not sure if your current products are still working for you? These are common signs that it's time to update your routine:

  • Increased breakouts or clogged pores

  • Skin feels heavy, greasy, or sticky after applying moisturizer

  • You’re spending more time outside and want to prevent sun-induced sensitivity

How We Customize Your Routine

At Revived Skin Clinic, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all skincare. Whether you're dealing with acne, pigmentation, or just want a seasonal refresh, we’ll help you build a custom skincare routine based on your skin’s current condition and goals.
