Habit Hack: Sun, Skin, and Skincare
As summer intensifies, so do the sun’s UV rays, increasing the risk of sunburn, premature ageing, and skin cancer. Here are our best hacks for adapting your skincare routine to protect and nourish your skin during the warmer months.
Prioritise Sun Protection
Use a broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher and reapply every two hours. Limit direct sun exposure, seek shade, and wear protective gear like hats and UV-blocking sunglasses.
Opt for Lightweight Products
Switch to gel-based moisturisers or serums that hydrate without feeling heavy. These formulas maintain moisture balance and avoid clogging pores.
Stay Matte and Clear
Use mattifying products to reduce shine and keep skin fresh. Include acne-targeting treatments if you notice more breakouts due to sweat.
Boost Your Routine with Vitamin C
Add a Vitamin C serum to enhance sunscreen efficacy, brighten your complexion, and reduce ageing signs. It’s crucial for defending against UV rays and environmental stressors.
Hydrate and Refresh
Drink plenty of water to help detoxify and maintain skin elasticity. Use a hydrating mist throughout the day for a quick moisture boost and heat relief.
