As the sun comes out and summer plans come into focus – from vacations and beach days to summer weddings and weekend getaways – your skin deserves just as much attention as your travel itinerary. With higher temps, more UV exposure, and humidity in the mix, your skin has a new set of needs. With the right summer skincare routine, you can get your healthiest, most radiant summer glow yet.
This is part one of our two-part series on radiant summer skin. Today, we’re covering tips to help you maintain a clear, glowing complexion all summer long. In part two, we’ll introduce a newSummer Set Bundle that saves you money while giving you everything you need for healthy skin all season long.
1. Keep it light, but powerful
Increased humidity and warmer temps can make heavy products feel sticky or suffocating. Now’s the time to swap thick moisturizers and occlusive layers for lightweight, breathable options that still deliver results.
-
Try This:Formula 5 is a lightweight but nutrient-rich moisturizer that hydrates without heaviness. It delivers antioxidants and supports the skin barrier, which is especially important if you're getting more sun exposure.
2. Add in antioxidants for extra protection
While SPF is non-negotiable, antioxidants are your sunscreen's best friend. They help protect your skin from oxidative stress, environmental pollutants, and free radicals caused by sun exposure.
-
Try This:C Super is a powerhouse antioxidant serum featuring a stabilized form of Vitamin C that brightens, protects, and boosts collagen. Use it every morning under SPF for extra defense and that signature summer radiance.
3. Prioritize hydration (even if you’re oily!)
It’s a myth that oily skin doesn’t need hydration. In fact, dehydration can trigger even more oil production. Opt for hydrating serums and masks that replenish moisture without clogging pores.
-
Try This:Mango Mask delivers an instant glow with a deeply nourishing, antioxidant-packed formula. Use it 1-2x a week for a post-sun refresh or pre-event radiance boost.
4. Focus on recovery and repair
Long days in the sun can lead to irritation, sensitivity, or barrier damage. Prioritize ingredients that calm, repair, and restore.
-
Try This:UP Serum andUP21 Eye Serum are peptide-rich treatments that rebuild collagen, smooth fine lines, and strengthen skin structure – essential support for skin that’s had a little too much fun in the sun.
5. Don’t forget your lashes (and brows)!
Your summer glow isn’t just about skin. Enhanced lashes and brows can transform your look without makeup.
-
Try This:UP Ultra Peptide Lash Fortify Serum conditions and strengthens lashes and brows with botanical and biotech ingredients. It’s the perfect natural boost for a no-mascara, vacation-ready look.
6. Cleanse gently, but thoroughly
Sweat, SPF, and city grime can build up fast. Cleansing thoroughly is key to keeping pores clear, but harsh stripping cleansers can compromise your barrier.
-
Try This:AC+ Oil-Free Cleanser is gentle enough for daily use, but effective enough to remove build-up without leaving your skin dry or tight.
