Your skin isn’t the same in July as it is in January—and your routine shouldn’t be either. Just like you swap sandals for sweaters, your skincare should adjust with the climate, your lifestyle, and your skin’s seasonal needs.
Here’s why seasonal skincare swaps matter—and what to change right now for a summer glow without the grease, breakouts, or flare-ups.
How Summer Affects Your Skin
More UV exposure = increased risk of sun damage and pigment
Sweat + humidity = higher oil production, clogged pores, breakouts
Heat = inflammation, redness, and melasma flare-ups
Pool + beach time = dryness, dehydration, and irritation
In short? Summer can stress your skin—even if it’s glowing at first glance.
What to Swap or Adjust in Summer
1. Lighten Up Your Moisturizer
You still need moisture, but heavy creams can feel greasy in the heat. Look for gel or water-based formulas that hydrate without clogging pores.
Try: Face Reality HydraBalance Gel or Face Reality ClearDerma Moisturizer
2. Use SPF Daily (and Reapply!)
Sunscreen isn’t optional—it’s essential. Choose broad-spectrum SPF 30+ that protects and soothes. Bonus if it gives you a glow.
Client favorites: Colorescience Face Shield Flex, HydraTint Pro Mineral Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 36
3. Add an Antioxidant Serum
Antioxidants like Vitamin C help protect against UV damage, pollution, and pigment. They're your summer skin’s BFF.
We love: C E Ferulic by SkinCeuticals or Face Reality GlowTone Corrective Serum
4. Consider Swapping Out Actives
Skin more sensitive in the summer? Cut back on strong exfoliants and retinoids if you’re noticing irritation. Consider gentler options or spacing them out.
5. Double Cleanse (Especially If You’re Wearing SPF)
One cleanse isn’t enough to remove sunscreen, sweat, and oil. Start with an oil-based cleanser, then follow with a gentle treatment cleanser.
Perfect pair: Face Reality Barrier Balance Creamy Cleanser + Ultra Gentle Cleanser
Treatments We Recommend in Summer

-

Get professional exfoliation to clear congestion
-
Calm inflammation from pigment or acne
-
