As we move into the warmer months, it’s just as important to change your skincare routine like it is your wardrobe! During winters, the air is drier and colder (which could mean longer and hotter showers), which means your skin's moisture levels drop and you’ll be reaching for a heavy moisturizers and hydrating cleansers.
In summer, we see increased humidity and temperatures as you spend more time in the sun and let’s be honest… we sweat a lot more! Your skin’s oil glands produce more sebum leaving a shinier complex and thanks to the congestion of sweat and oil, you’re more prone to breakouts. Just like you would swap a heavy knit jumper for light cotton, it’s important to swap your skincare routine with lighter products that let your skin breathe. Here are our top products for creating a beautiful summer skincare routine.
Perfect Foam Cleanser
Our Perfect Foam Cleanser is a lightweight cleanser that gently removes any impurities from the day while nourishing your skin with the moisture it needs. Its hydrating properties are perfect for getting rid of dead skin cells and unclogging your pores from sweat, sunscreen, makeup and dirt after spending all your time outdoors with the warmer weather! Use it in the shower for a really good cleanse and you’ll end up with a really fresh base to start putting on your skincare.
Perfect Moisturising Sheet Mask
The Perfect Moisturising Sheet Mask is the perfect pick-me up and an essential to any self-care ritual. Infused with Korean powerhouse ingredients, it’s the perfect addition to your summer skincare routine to rehydrate and plump your skin while controlling oil secretion, preventing breakouts and clearing your pores! We recommend using a sheet mask once a week for 15 minutes or whenever you feel like your skin needs a little pick-me-up.
SPF Sunscreen
One of the most important steps in your summer skincare routine should be SPF! While you should always be using sunscreen year round, it’s extra important in summer. Choose one that is high in SPF, oil-free and applies sheer. There’s nothing worse than going to apply your Compact Cushion and realizing you’ve got a white tinge from your sunscreen!
Hydrating Boost Serum
If this is your night time routine, or you're just having a day at home, then you can by-pass the SPF and move onto our Hydrating Boost Serum. Filled with antioxidants and vitamins that help reduce dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles, it also acts as a gentle armor from the harmful effects of daily living. We always recommend applying your serum as the first step of any skincare routine to give it time to absorb properly into your skin. Just apply 1 to 2 pumps and lightly spread it across your face. It’s hydrating formula is lightweight (perfect for summer) which means it won’t clog your pores while leaving you with that perfect glow.
Perfect Light Facial Cream
While in winter you might opt for our Perfect Extra Rich Facial Cream, it’s time to put that away for season and swap it out for our Perfect Light Facial Cream. This lightweight, water-based cream is perfect to keep your skin hydrated and supple all day long without any unwanted stickiness or oiliness. It absorbs into the skin for instant hydration and aids in keeping the skin firm and supple making it the perfect base for your makeup.
Perfect Hydration Boost Eye Cream
Our silky, soft eye cream delivers full hydration and brightens up your under-eye area with antioxidant-packed ingredients. Using a small amount, gently tap the product underneath both of your eyes. It’s important to tap and not use a rubbing or pulling motion because the skin under the eyes is thin and particularly sensitive.
