Give Your Skin a Summer Vacation – Our Beauty Therapist's 4 Tips for a Carefree Summer

Summer skin has different needs than winter skin. In the summer, your skin might not be as dry as in winter, it sweats more, and it's exposed to more sun. So the same products might not best meet summer skin's needs.

When it comes to summer skincare, less is more. Switch to lighter skincare products in the summer and give your skin a vacation. The secret to easy summer skin: just protect, hydrate, and soothe. Remember to drink water and enjoy the fresh outdoors.

Tip #1. The Lazy Skincare Enthusiast's Lifesaver

If you want to use just one skincare product, get to know our uber-nourishing micellar water. This multi-beneficial product gently cleanses, hydrates, brightens, and balances the skin effectively, but ahh so easily!

Try this: Circulove CLEAN Fresh Micellar Mist

Tip #2. Gentle DIY Exfoliation

Remember to exfoliate your face in the summer too, as sun, sweat, and waterproof sunscreens can burden and weigh down your skin. Always remember to moisturize your skin with a cream after exfoliating.

Try this: You can easily make an exfoliant by yourself by adding a small amount of used coffee grounds, fine-grained sugar, or mineral salt to Circulove SMOOTH Bakuchiol Oil Serum and massage gently. If your skin is very sensitive or couperose, just let it sit on your skin without massaging.

Tip #3. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate

In the summer, switch to slightly lighter skincare products. Hydrating your skin becomes even more important in the summer, as the sun can dry out your skin. Choose a face cream that deeply moisturizes and soothes the skin.

Try this: Circulove CALM Hyaluronic Milk Serum is a deeply hydrating and soothing treatment serum for daily use, also for the eye area.

Tip #4. Protect Your Skin with Sunscreen and Cleanse Thoroughly

Sunscreen is the most important skincare product in the summer. A day cream with SPF, like Circulove DAY MultiActive Cream SPF20, is perfect for city use. Remember to choose a sunscreen suitable for your skin type when at the beach. Sunscreen applied to the skin during the day, along with sweat and dirt that cling to it, should be thoroughly washed off before bedtime. If your skin clogs easily, leftover sunscreen can cause breakouts. Water alone isn't enough to rinse off sunscreen. The best cleansing method is oil-based cleansing or double cleansing.

Try this: Circulove WASH oil-based cream cleanser is excellent for removing sunscreen. If you wish, you can try double cleansing and finish with Circulove CLEAN Micellar Mist. This way, your skin will stay healthy and impurities won't form.

Enjoy your summer!
