Summer Skincare Routine:
Save your skin from the harsh effects of the scorching sun! Your summer skincare routine should be focused on hydrating, protecting, preventing hyperpigmentation and premature aging due to sun exposure. Here is what your Summer Skincare Routine should consist of. (Besides SPF)
Cleanser
A gentle face cleanser in the morning will cleanse and nourish your skin. Glymed+ has a Vitamin C Cleanser that smells like oranges, nourishes and heals while protecting against free radicals, great for all skin types. For double cleansing at night, start with a creamy cleanser that effectively removes makeup and sunscreen like Glymed+'s Medical Grade Mega Cream Cleanser with Vitamin E, and a 15% Glycolic Cleanser for anti-aging and brightening benefits.
Toner
Karuna Radiance Toner with Niacinamide and Ginseng is a wonderful choice for all skin types to prevent excess oil. This exfoliating toner effectively removes dead skin cells, oils, and impurities to reveal radiant skin. It contains antioxidant benefits and improves signs of aging. Niacinamide and paper mulberry help to minimize the appearance of pores and brighten skin, while chamomile provides calming benefits helping to soothe stressed skin.
Karuna Kombucha Exfoliant Peel Pads with Glycolic Acid quickly refine, brighten and renew skin for a soft, glowing complexion, fighting against hyperpigementtion due to the sun. These Glycolic Peel Pads are great for minimizing pores as well, a personal favorite of mine to use at night! Super effective and gentle enough for everyday use.
Serum
Opt for a hydrating, free radical fighting serum in the AM, Ultra Hydro Gel contains 10% Hyaluronic Acid that will melt into the skin leaving it revitalized, hydrated and luminous, great for all skin types. This Hyaluronic Acid gel can be used before serum to give skin a extra boost of hydration.
Peptides contain incredible anti-aging benefits, including protection against environmental stressors that lead to premature aging of the skin. Glymed+ Peptide Serum is a Medical Grade, free radical fighting serum that will protect your skin and encourage tissue regeneration with Copper Peptides. Peptides reduce DNA oxidation, neutralizes free radicals, and increase antioxidant capacity within cells to fight against environmental and chronological aging making this a wonderful serum for the summer months.
Protective Skin Serum will strengthen the skin's barrier by replenishing critical lipids. This ultra-light and nourishing formula drenches the skin in humectants, ceramides, antioxidants, and other age-fighting nutrients, helping to protect and nourish your skin.
Face Mask
After a day outdoors in the sun, opt for a super soothing Sheet Mask loaded with skin-loving ingredients. The cool mask feels incredibly soothing and your skin will gladly soak up all the nourishing, healing ingredients. Karuna Skincare has an amazing line of sheet masks that will visibly improve the appearance of your skin. The Multi-Vitamin Antioxidant Sheet mask contains Vitamins B3, B5, B6, Vitamin C, E that will restore skin’s natural barrier balance, target uneven skin tone and dullness, ease redness and irritability due to sun exposure.
Moisturizer
Look for moisturizers with ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerin, and Ceramides which help to hydrate and replenish the skin's moisture barrier without feeling heavy. Karuna All Day Cream is a lightweight, plant based moisturizer thats wonderful for sensitive skin that's been out in the sun, Watermelon Fruit Extract, Goji Berry Fruit Extract, and a Hyaluronic Acid Blend to seal in moisture.
The sun's ultraviolet radiation breaks down the connective tissue — collagen and elastin fibers — that lies in the deeper layer of the skin. Peptide Cream is a Medical Grade moisturizer that's clinically proven to target lines and wrinkles below the skins surface and promote the regeneration of collagen for skin firmness and elasticity.
SPF
"Broad Spectrum" means that your skin is protected against both UVA and UVB rays. Apply a broad spectrum, lightweight SPF before going outdoors and be sure to reapply every few hours for continious protection! Oil-Free Protective Moisturizing Sunscreen SPF50PA++ is a lightweight sunscreen that won't clog your pores, the formula is designed to keep your skin hydrated and protected. For added protection, Colorescience offers SPF makeup that is approved by the Skin Cancer Foundation!
Lips need skincare, too!
Protect the vulnerable lip area from both burning and aging. Bitchstix SPF 30 Lip Balm is a must to have in your bag to apply when outdoors, with many yummy scents to choose from. For a nighttime lip treatment, Lipsmart Ultra Hydrating Lip Treatment will nourish, heal cracked lips, and visibly plump helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines due to dryness, another favorite of mine!
