Top 5 Tips to Keep Your Skin Hydrated and Protected This Summer
How Esthetics by Medicontur makes a case for hydrated and glowing summer skin with its science-backed products. Read on.
Summer is sunshine, vacation, and beach time, but it can be tough on your skin. Heat, humidity, and sun exposure can cause dehydration, sun damage, and premature ageing. According to studies, skin loses approximately 25% more moisture during summer because of excessive sweating and extended sun exposure.
Dr. Howard Murad, a renowned dermatologist, once stated:
"Healthy skin is a reflection of overall wellness."
That is, caring for your skin during summer isn't just about looking good—it's about keeping it healthy and resilient. Here are five must-know tips to keep your skin hydrated and protected all summer long with trusted skin care products.
1. Gentle Cleanser – Wash Away Impurities
A good morning starts with fresh, clean skin. Your skin accumulates sweat, oil, and impurities during the night, so a gentle, sulfate-free cleanser is ideal to remove dirt without stripping the skin of moisture. Apply a light, moisturizing face wash that preserves the natural barrier of the skin.
2. Exfoliate (2–3 Times a Week) – Keep Skin Smooth & Bright
Exfoliating is important in the summer months as heat and humidity can cause dead skin buildup, which will dull and roughen your skin. Over-exfoliating irritates, though, so use a gentle exfoliant suitable for your skin type 2–3 times per week.
3. Hydrating Serum – Lock in Moisture
Summer serum is a summer must-have! Oily or not, the skin needs hydration to stay firm and healthy. Apply light water-based serums with hyaluronic acid that hydrate without weighing down the skin.
4. Lightweight Moisturizer – Soften & Balance Skin
Even in humid weather, your skin still needs moisture and nutrients. Instead of heavy creams, use a light oil-free or gel-based moisturizer that hydrates the skin without clogging pores.
5. Sunscreen – The Most Crucial Step!
Never, ever leave home without sunscreen! UV rays are the largest single cause of premature ageing, sunspots, and pigmentation. A broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or greater protects your skin from sun damage and keeps it youthful.
Bonus Summer Skincare Tips
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate – At least 8–10 glasses of water daily to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.
Mist with a facial mist – A soothing mist of rose water or aloe vera to revive and chill your skin throughout the day.
Wear minimal makeup – Swap heavy foundation for tinted sunscreen or light BB cream.
Use aloe vera for sunburn – Aloe soothes and heals sunburned skin.
Eat water-rich foods – Oranges, watermelon, and cucumber replenish water reserves in the body.
