Summer is finally here, and it’s time to enjoy the sunshine, outdoor adventures, and all the fun this season has to offer. While you’re soaking up the rays, it’s crucial to remember that your skin needs extra TLC to stay healthy and radiant.
Leading dermatologists, the American Academy of Dermatology, and trailblazing skin care brand Neora share the ultimate summer skin care guide, packed with expert tips and innovative products to keep your skin safely glowing.
Summer is the perfect time to adjust your beauty routine and show your skin some extra love. According to the University of Rochester Medical Center, “Summer brings sunny weather and outdoor fun — but also potential damage to our skin.
The scorching heat, harmful UV rays, and increased humidity can lead to various skin issues if we don’t take proper care.” Neora’s summer-ready skin care sets, combined with expert advice, will help you maintain healthy, radiant skin all summer.
Wet and Wild — and Safe
Hydration is the key to overall health and beautiful skin. “Dehydrated skin may cause your skin to appear dry, dull, and scaly. You’ll even begin to notice the presence of fine lines and wrinkles,” explained URMC. “In summer, our bodies lose more water through sweating, making it essential to stay hydrated throughout the day.
Drinking an adequate amount of water helps to flush out toxins, keeps your skin plump, and prevents it from becoming dry and flaky.” Don’t forget to hydrate your skin topically, too. Look for skin care products containing hyaluronic acid, like those offered by Neora, to keep your skin plump and moisturized.
Sun protection is nonnegotiable, and it’s essential to use SPF daily to shield your skin from harmful UV rays. Neora’s Age IQ Invisi-Bloc Sunscreen Gel SPF 40 is a game changer — its clear water gel formula doubles as a makeup primer, making it perfect for everyday use.
“For the best protection, apply a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher to all skin not covered by clothing, and reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating,” advised the American Academy of Dermatology.
“To save time in your skin care routine, consider using a moisturizer that also contains sunscreen. However, while cosmetics that contain sunscreen are convenient, remember to reapply them in order to achieve the best sun protection.”
Lip Service From Neora
Your lips are just as vulnerable to environmental aggressors as the rest of your skin, so show them some love. According to Neora’s blog, “Because the skin on your lips is unique and thin, it can be especially vulnerable to environmental aggressors.
“The multifunctional Moisture-Lock Lip Mask can be worn during the day for extra shine and moisture and applied at night for full mask protection. You’ll notice fuller-looking, healthier lips after just one use.”
Antioxidants are the superheroes your skin needs to fight off free radicals caused by sun exposure. URMC advised, “Antioxidant-rich foods such as berries, citrus fruits, leafy greens, and green tea can stabilize those free radicals, so they don’t damage your skin cells.
Antioxidants also promote collagen production, keeping your skin youthful and glowing.” Supercharge your skin care routine with products containing antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, and green tea extracts, which reinforce your skin’s defense against environmental damage.
While a bronzed look is tempting, UV exposure can pose a serious risk to your skin’s health. But Neora’s got your back — and your front. “If you want to get a head start on your bronzed beach look, our 3-in-1 Self Tanning + Sculpting Foam is a safe and convenient solution to achieving that sun-kissed glow without any UV exposure,” the brand shared.
“This multifunctional, eco-friendly sunless tanning foam delivers streak-free, stink-free, and mess-free results while moisturizing, soothing, and protecting your skin.” For an extra dose of confidence, try Neora’s Firm Body Contour Cream to firm problem areas and reduce the appearance of cellulite, leaving you ready to rock those shorts and sundresses.
Sunset Strategies
After a fun-filled day outside, treat your skin to some postsun pampering. Experts recommend taking a cool shower to remove sunscreen residue and sweat, then slathering on the moisturizer or aloe vera, especially if you got a bit burned. And of course, Neora has top-notch products to elevate your daily skin care routine, like its Cleanse, Correct, Protect Set.
“This comprehensive antiaging set includes the Age IQ Double-Cleansing Face Wash, the transformative Age IQ Night and Day Creams, and the Age IQ Invisi-Bloc Sunscreen Gel SPF 40,” Neora explained on its blog.
“When used together, this antiaging powerhouse lineup works day and night to cleanse, transform, moisturize, and protect your skin from every sign of aging, including sun damage and wrinkles.”
With these expert tips and Neora’s innovative summer-ready skin care sets, you’re fully equipped to enjoy the summer while keeping your skin healthy, happy, and protected. By prioritizing your skin’s well-being, you’ll maintain a radiant, youthful glow that will last long after the summer memories fade. As Neora urged, “Go ahead and bring on the sun, and let your skin shine.”
