Summer has arrived!
Not sure how to adjust your summer skincare routine or are you finding your current regimen isn't delivering the desired results? Here are some tips to help you care for your facial skin during the hot summer months effectively.
Need to cool down?

Simple tips for facial care in summer
During summer, increased sweating, higher indoor humidity, and more outdoor activities can impact your skin and alter your summer skincare needs. What may work well as a nourishing day cream during winter can feel heavy and greasy in the summer heat. To maintain naturally beautiful skin during the warmer months, it's essential to adjust your skincare routine according to the season and fine-tune each step in your beauty regimen accordingly. Here are some helpful tips for optimal summer skincare. As with all changes in life, you should take the transition to a new care routine slowly. It's best to start preparing your skin for summer in spring. This way she doesn't get out of balance so easily.
Light textures in summer
Light cream textures are a hit during summer as they feel lighter compared to traditional ones. A gel texture is refreshing and spreads smoothly on facial skin, perfect for warm months. Despite their lightness, these products provide ample care and beneficial ingredients that are beneficial for your skin in the summer. For instance, lavera's Hydro Refresh Cream Gel with its gel texture delivers deep hydration.
Expert tip
You don't want to take any risks and stick with your tried and tested care line? Use the right serum from your facial care range as a day cream and leave the day cream out until autumn. In most cases, a serum has a lighter texture and provides just the right amount of moisture on hot days.
Facial cleansing in summer
Just like adjusting your skincare routine, it's essential to modify your facial cleansing routine during the summer months. Micellar water offers a gentle way to remove makeup and provides a refreshing sensation on the skin. During the summer, it's crucial to practice the "double cleanse" method by cleaning your face twice. Apart from makeup, sebum, and sun protection, dirt particles accumulate on the skin and should be thoroughly eliminated.
After removing makeup in the first step, the second step involves using a cleansing gel to cleanse the skin of dirt particles and excess sebum. For an even summer tan, consider using a scrub once a week to eliminate old skin cells, allowing sunlight to tan your face more uniformly. To revitalise and refresh the skin during summer, opt for a cleansing gel containing ingredients like aloe vera or jojoba.
Facial massage
If your serum isn't producing the desired results or if there isn't a serum that complements your daily care product, try using less of your regular daily care product and massage it in more thoroughly. Enhance your complexion with a natural glow through a simple facial massage in three steps: In three steps:
1) Gently massage the cream along the jawline, moving from the centre of the chin towards the ears.
2)Apply a small amount of cream from the nose towards the cheekbone.
3)Stroke from the centre of the forehead upwards towards the hairline and outwards towards the cheekbone.
Repeat these steps until the cream is fully absorbed.
