5 Steps to Dewy Summer Skin

As the seasons change, so do our skin’s needs, which means your skincare routine should follow suit. After all, the warmer months come with more sweat, oil production, sun exposure, salt water and chlorine, which can lead to breakouts, sun burn, clogged pores, dehydrated skin and more.

Achieve (and maintain) healthy, glowing skin this summer with this five-step regimen and pro tips from our Director of Education, Rosalba Martone.

STEP 1: Essential Fx Acyl-Glutathione Chia Cleansing Balm

Rosalba’s Recommendation: “Use it as the first step in your double-cleansing routine to help rid your skin of all those sunscreen layers, makeup, dirt, oil and sweat.” 

Comfortably wash away all your summer day brings by dissolving and cleansing off sweat, oil, dirt and impurities while replenishing with essential oils. Formulated with Acyl-Glutathione and a signature vitamin F blend, featuring omega-rich chia seed oil, you’ll achieve optimal nourishment for smooth, supple and radiant skin.

STEP 2: High Potency Hyaluronic Intensive Hydrating Serum

Rosalba’s Recommendation: “Immediately after coming in from being out in the sun, cleanse your face and apply this serum. It’s like a drink of water for your complexion, instantly replenishing, nourishing and hydrating for the most beautiful glass-like skin.”

Combat the dehydrating effects of sun exposure by treating your skin with this deeply nourishing serum. Designed with four forms and two natural building blocks of hyaluronic acid, it instantly replenishes skin with essential moisture and reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles for visibly smoother, firmer and plumper skin.

STEP 3: High Potency Face Finishing & Firming Moisturizer SPF 30

Rosalba’s Recommendation: “Protect your skin with mineral-based sunscreen to give skin the best protection against both UVA and UVB rays without the risk of clogging pores.”

Sunscreen is, of course, imperative year-round, but it’s even more important during the warmer months when more time is spent outdoors and often for prolonged periods. Fortify your skin with this silky, lightweight SPF moisturizer to protect against environmental aggressors and the sun’s UVA and UVB rays while instantly hydrating and visibly smoothing and firming.

STEP 4: Hypoallergenic Clean Correction Firming & Brightening Eye Cream

Rosalba’s Recommendation: “Keep lightweight textures around the delicate eye area during the summer so they don’t migrate and contribute to added oil and shine.”

Powered by peptides, squalane and mushroom extract, this gentle eye cream delivers firming, hydrating and soothing benefits perfect for the fragile, sun-soaked skin around your eyes. “It offers the delicate eye area essential hydration without feeling too heavy on the skin,” Rosalba says, adding that it also “allows makeup products to layer easily and remain crease-free throughout the day.” A win-win.

STEP 5: Cold Plasma Plus+ Lip Therapy

Rosalba’s Recommendation: “Like your skin, your lips need replenishment after sun exposure, too. Don’t forget to treat them to restore moisture.”

Whether it’s the sun, salt water or chlorine zapping your skin of its moisture, your skin can get dry and dehydrated in the summer, too. Your lips are no exception to this rule, so using a targeted lip treatment regularly to restore your lips is key. Featuring hyaluronic acid, peptides and omegas 3, 6 and 9, this multi-tasking lip treatment therapy delivers deep nourishment and moisture barrier support for visibly softer, fuller and more supple lips.
