Summer Skincare Routines – 5 Tips for Your Facial Care
Are you unsure how to adjust your skincare routine for the summer? Or does your current daily routine simply no longer give you the results you want? We have put together effective tips for your facial care in the summer to help you care for your facial skin optimally even in the hot months.
Fancy a cool down?
If you're looking for an extra freshness boost on especially hot days, you should put your day cream in the fridge overnight. The fresh feeling in the morning is a real wake-up call for your skin.
Simple tips for facial care in summer
In summer, you sweat more, the humidity indoors is higher, and you probably spend more time outdoors. All these factors affect your skin and change the requirements for your facial care. Day creams that feel wonderfully nourishing in winter can feel like a greasy film on the skin in summer.
For naturally beautiful skin in summer, it’s best to adjust your skincare routine to the season and optimize each step according to the time of year.
As with all changes in life, you should also approach switching to a new skincare routine slowly. It’s best to start in spring to prepare your skin for summer. This way, it won’t easily get out of balance.
Light textures in summer
Light cream textures are especially popular during the summer months because they don’t feel as heavy as conventional textures. A gel texture, for example, feels wonderfully refreshing and spreads very well on the facial skin, especially in warm temperatures.
The advantage: Despite the light texture, they offer plenty of care and valuable ingredients that are good for your skin in summer. With its gel texture, the lavera Hydro Refresh Creme-Gel provides intensive moisture.
Expert tip
You don’t want to take any risks and prefer to stick with your trusted skincare line? Then use the matching serum from your facial care series as a day cream and skip the day cream until autumn. In most cases, a serum has a lighter texture and provides just the right amount of moisture on hot days.
Facial massage in 3 steps
Your serum is not achieving the desired effect or there is no suitable serum for your day care? Then simply use less of your regular day care and massage it in especially carefully. With a facial massage in 3 steps, you can give your complexion a completely natural glow.
Facial cleansing in summer
Just like your skincare, you should also adjust your facial cleansing routine in summer. A micellar water provides gentle makeup removal and a light refreshing feeling on the skin. The so-called "double cleanse" is important in summer, meaning cleansing twice. Because in addition to makeup, sebum, and sunscreen, dirt particles also sit on the skin that need to be thoroughly removed.
After makeup is removed in the first step, the second step uses a cleansing gel to completely free the skin from dirt particles and excess sebum. Cleansing gels with ingredients like aloe vera or jojoba are especially suitable here, as they refresh the skin in warm temperatures.
Beauty tip
To achieve an even tan in the summer, you can additionally use a peeling once a week as a third step. Because when old skin cells are removed, sunlight can tan your face more evenly.
Extra care in summer
Tip for a beauty boost: If your skin feels dry in the summer, you can use a facial care spray in between to stay cared for and fresh throughout the day. The small spray fits perfectly in any handbag and gives you a fresh boost on the go!
You shouldn’t skip your weekly beauty break even in summer. Sheet masks are the perfect tool for care and freshness in the summer. They feel especially good in the warmer months and provide just the right amount of care.
Freshness tip: For an extra fresh boost on warm days, you can also place your sheet mask in the fridge overnight.
