5 Common Summer Skin Problems (and How to Solve Them)
Summer brings plenty of sunshine and fun, but it can also bring challenges for your skin. Here’s a look at five common skin problems people face during the summer months—and how you can address them effectively.
1. Sunburn
The Problem: Too much time in the sun without proper protection can lead to painful, red, and damaged skin.
The Solution:
- Apply aloe vera or a cooling gel to soothe the burn.
- Use Illumino Serum for hydration and repair, as it contains antioxidants that help support the skin’s natural recovery.
- Always wear sunscreen with at least SPF 30 and reapply every two hours to prevent future burns.
2. Oily Skin
The Problem: Heat and humidity can cause excess oil production, leading to a greasy look and more frequent breakouts.
The Solution:
- Use a gentle cleanser like Luminesq Dust Face Cleanser to remove excess oil without stripping the skin.
- Incorporate a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer to keep skin hydrated without adding extra shine.
- Blotting papers can help manage oil during the day.
3. Clogged Pores
The Problem: Sweating and heavy products can trap dirt and oil in your pores, leading to blackheads and breakouts.
The Solution:
- Regularly exfoliate with Atonement Face Mask to unclog pores and brighten the skin.
- Avoid overly heavy products; stick to breathable, summer-friendly skincare.
- Double-cleanse at night to ensure all sunscreen, makeup, and dirt are removed.
4. Dehydration
The Problem: Heat and sun exposure can dry out your skin, even if it feels oily on the surface.
The Solution:
- Hydrate from within by drinking plenty of water and eating water-rich foods like cucumber and watermelon.
- Use hydrating products such as Illumino Serum to restore moisture balance.
- Look for skincare with humectants like hyaluronic acid to lock in hydration.
Clean. Simple. Effective.
5. Hyperpigmentation and Dark Spots
The Problem: Increased sun exposure can lead to dark spots and uneven skin tone.
The Solution:
- Use products rich in antioxidants, like the Signature Night Recovery Oil, to repair and even out skin tone.
- Wear sunscreen daily to prevent spots from worsening.
- Consider incorporating gentle exfoliants to fade discoloration over time.
