Summer Skin Care ☀️

The weather feels like summer again today.

I pay special attention to my skin during the summer because strong UV rays, sweat, sebum, and heat can easily make it sensitive and red. To soothe the skin, it is important to minimize irritation and replenish moisture.

I wash my face gently with lukewarm water and use a mildly acidic cleanser, and I avoid water that is too cold or hot because it can be irritating.

It is important to lower your skin temperature after applying sunscreen and going outside. Placing a cold towel or cooling pack on your skin for a short while can also be helpful.

Drink plenty of fluids

Avoid exfoliating too often, even in the summer. I've found that if your skin barrier weakens, it can become more sensitive.

Is there anything you pay special attention to for your skincare during the summer?
