Frequently Asked Questions

How should I adjust my summer skincare routine?

In summer, lighter textures and extra protection are key. Switch from heavier creams to refreshing gel or water-based formulas that hydrate without weighing skin down. Daily SPF 30 (or higher) is non-negotiable, while antioxidant serums like vitamin C provide extra defence against environmental stressors. 

You might find you need to cleanse more often due to sweating a little more. If so, opt for a gentle cleanser to ensure the skin barrier isn’t compromised. The goal is to adapt to heat, humidity and sun while keeping skin comfortable and resilient.

What are the most common skincare issues that occur in summer?

Summer brings its own set of challenges for the skin. Excess oil, sweat and sunscreen can lead to congestion and blemishes, while long hours in the sun raise the risk of sunburn, dehydration, dark spots and premature ageing. 

Even areas we often forget, like the lips and delicate eye contour, are especially vulnerable to UV damage. The key to keeping skin balanced through the warmer months is a routine that protects, hydrates and soothes, so you can enjoy healthy, radiant skin all season long.

How do I prevent summer breakouts?

Breakouts can be more common in hot, humid weather. Gently cleanse skin twice a day to remove sweat, and stick to non-comedogenic, oil-free products that won’t clog pores. Avoid harsh drying treatments, as these can disrupt balance and trigger more oil production. 

Small lifestyle tweaks can also help, such as frequently washing pillowcases, cleaning sunglasses and phones, and showering after exercising to prevent sweat and bacteria build-up.

What skincare products should I pack for a holiday in the sun?

Holiday skincare should be uncomplicated yet highly protective. Start with a gentle cleanser, a lightweight moisturiser, and a hydrating serum to keep skin balanced in the heat. Then finish with a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ as a final line of defence. And don’t forget the delicate areas. Using a lip balm with SPF and an eye cream offering daily protection will help shield the most vulnerable skin from sun damage.

Should I stop using active ingredients like retinoids before a sun holiday?

In the weeks leading up to a beach holiday, it’s wise to scale back on potent actives such as retinoids and AHAs/BHAs. These ingredients can heighten photosensitivity, leaving skin more vulnerable to sunburn and pigmentation. If you prefer not to pause them entirely, use them less often and keep them for your evening routine, while being especially diligent with daily SPF and regular reapplication.
