If you’ve nailed your skin-care routine but want extra summer protection, focus on shielding your skin. Akram suggests wearing sunglasses, wide-brimmed hats, and covered clothing to reduce exposure to harmful free radicals.
Try Lou & Grey Poplin Pants and a Cotton-Linen Packable Sunhat, both cotton-made and breathable for summer. For an added DIY hack, create a reusable cotton sheet mask by soaking a muslin washcloth in serum and cutting holes for eyes, nose, and mouth.
If you got… Hydrate
Keep hydrated even indoors, regardless of outdoor humidity levels. Use a humidifier year-round to keep skin moist. Also, remember to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
For extra hydration, try a moisturizing product infused with cottonseed oil like Burt’s Bees Sensitive Daily Moisturizing Cream for a boost of hydration.
If you got… Exfoliate
While cleansing and moisturizing are vital, don’t overlook exfoliation. Start with a simple cotton washcloth for gentle exfoliation. Akram suggests using it softly on the face and with a bit more pressure on the body for brighter skin.
If you got… Calm
Fight redness with calming products like aloe vera, such as the Innisfree Vitalizing Sleeping Mask. Akram recommends aloe vera for hydration and soothing effects on the skin.
