At Skin & Beauty Center, we understand how the summer sun can impact your skin and offer expert guidance to help you protect and maintain a healthy, radiant complexion. As California’s most comprehensive skin care center, our team provides personalized treatments and advanced solutions to prevent and repair sun-related skin damage.
Skipping Sunscreen on Cloudy Days
Just because the sun isn’t shining brightly doesn’t mean UV rays aren’t reaching your skin. Up to 80% of UV rays can penetrate clouds, leading to cumulative sun damage over time. Apply a high-quality, broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every morning, rain or shine, and reapply every two hours when outdoors.
Using Heavy Winter Moisturizers
Winter skincare products are often too rich for summer’s heat and humidity, leading to clogged pores and breakouts. Swap out thick creams for lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizers that hydrate without feeling greasy or heavy on your skin.
Over-Exfoliating
While exfoliation helps keep skin smooth and clear, overdoing it, especially with sun exposure, can leave your skin red, irritated, and more vulnerable to UV damage. Gently exfoliate once or twice a week, and always follow up with sunscreen to protect freshly exfoliated skin.
Ignoring Your Lips and Eyes
The skin on your lips and around your eyes is delicate and prone to sun damage. Always use a lip balm that has SPF protection, and wear sunglasses with UV-blocking lenses to shield your eyes and the surrounding skin.
Not Staying Hydrated
Dehydration can lead to dry, dull, and irritated skin. Increase your water intake during summer and incorporate hydrating skincare products like serums with hyaluronic acid to help your skin retain moisture.
