Why this worksAs the weather warms up, your skin’s needs change. Increased humidity and heat can lead to more oil production, making it essential to adjust your skincare routine. By prepping your skin now, you can maintain hydration, control excess shine, and protect against sun damage.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Exfoliate Regularly Start by exfoliating your skin 1-2 times a week to remove dead skin cells. This not only promotes cell turnover but also helps prevent clogged pores when sweat and oil combine during warmer months.
  2. Switch to Lighter Moisturisers Opt for a lightweight, gel-based moisturiser that hydrates without weighing your skin down. This helps maintain moisture balance while keeping your skin feeling fresh and breathable.
  3. Incorporate Sunscreen Never skip sunscreen as the heat approaches! Apply a broad-spectrum SPF every morning, even on cloudy days, to protect your skin from harmful UV rays and prevent premature ageing.
  4. Hydrate Internally Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Proper hydration supports your skin’s elasticity and overall health, making it more resilient to heat.

Where people go wrong

Many people forget to exfoliate, thinking it’s only for winter skin. Others stick to heavy products that can lead to breakouts in the heat. Skipping sunscreen is also a common mistake, as UV damage can occur even on overcast days.

The pro moveTry a vitamin C serum in the morning for added protection against sun damage and to brighten your complexion.
