Lots of people think that summertime means problem-free skin, but that’s far from the truth. In reality, we need to pay much attention to our skincare routine because sun, dehidration and sweat might leave us with a not-so beautiful face. So we asked Dr. Taylor at SkinCareRx.com advice on what to do during summer to keep us looking healthy and glowing.
Here’s his advice:
Daily Skin Care Regimen
1. Cleanse (AM and PM)
2. Tone (optional, depending on skin condition)
3. Treat (optional, depending on skin condition)
4. Moisturize (AM; PM may be optional depending on Step 3)
5. Protect/Sunscreen (AM; may be combined with Step 4)
Weekly Skin Care Regimen
1. Exfoliator (if your Daily Regimen is not exfoliating)
2. Mask (no need for Exfoliator if mask is exfoliating)
Product Tips for each Skin Type
Normal Skin: Skin with a clear, supple surface that is neither dry nor oily.
Use products that don’t strip your skin of moisture. Mild cleansers and light moisturizers with sunscreen work best. Toner isn’t required.
See Dr.Taylor’s recommendations for Normal Skin
Oily Skin: Skin with overactive sebaceous glands; often with enlarged pores.
The key to achieving balanced skin is using the right products to help your skin maintain the ideal amount of oil in the skin. Toners often help to remove more oil that cleansers alone. Look for light, oil-free moisturizers with sunscreen, or try a powder sunscreen.
