With each season, you should adjust your skin care routine. During the summer you especially want to make sure you are protecting your skin from the sun's rays as well as keeping it hydrated.
Check out these 5 skin care tips for the summer time.
1. Use a Foundation That Has SPF Protection
Make sure to use a foundation makeup that also has a SPF in it as well. Even if you aren't going to be spending time outdoors it is still a good idea to just use a foundation that also has SPF protection on a daily basis. It only takes a few minutes out in the sun for your skin to start feeling the effects.
If you have fair skin you may need more protection than the foundation offers, but it is still a good idea to have the extra SPF protection for times that you know you won't be outside for more than a few minutes.
2. Use Lip Balm to Protect Your Lips
Just like you want to protect your face from the sun's rays, you can't forget about your lips as well. Use a clear lip balm or even a color lip gloss that has protection in it as well to help your lips from drying out and keep them moisturized.
3. Make Sure To Use Sunscreen On Any Exposed Skin
If you know that you are going to be outside for more than a few minutes running in and out of buildings, then you need to make sure you use sunscreen on any skin that may be exposed.
Even though being "tan" may be popular, a tan is actually not healthy and a sunburn is even worse. When the color of your skin changes, that means it is reacting to the sun's UV rays. Some people don't realize that a tan is actually proof of sun damage.
Prevent sunburns and sun damage to your skin to help your skin look young and fresh as well as protect yourself from increasing your chances of skin cancer.
Look for a sunscreen that not only moisturizes your body but also has a SPF of at least 25. And don't be afraid to reapply often.
4. Use a Face Mask to Hydrate your Skin and Make It Glow
You should consider using a face mask at least once a week to help clean away dead cells from your skin as well as hydrate your skin.
Being in a hot climate can really dry out your skin and then being in air conditioning can also mess with your skin as well. A good rejuvenating face mask will help to properly cleanse your face as well as hydrate it to make it glow.

5. Choose a Moisturizing Lotion for Your Morning and Night Beauty Routine
If you don't already use a moisturizing lotion for your body, then you definitely want to start this summer. The skin and hot weather can completley dry out your skin, so you need to make sure that you are moisturizing both in the morning and at night and especially right after your shower.
This helps to keep your skin smooth and glowing and we all know that we show a lot more skin in summer than in the other months.
You can even take inspiration from the summer time and use a lotion with a coconut or citrus smell. It will give you a hint of fragrance and leave with a warm attitude.
Have fun this summer and enjoy the sun, but remember to take care of your skin.
