How to Take Care of Your Skin In The Summer

It’s super important to take care of your skin in the summer. I’m not too sure what’s worse for my skin: aging, working in construction, or the extreme weather changes. I have a skincare routine for both summer and winter and I try and make my skincare a part of my self-care routine (you can read about that here). 

Morning Routine

• Wash your face with Cerave foaming facial cleanser
• Use Thayers Facial Toner with Witch Hazel
• Moisturize with Cerave facial moisturizing lotion SPF 30
• Use a jade roller on my face and neck for about a minute

Note: I don’t typically wear make-up during the week if I’m on job sites, so that simplifies my routine A LOT.

Evening Routine

• Wash face with cerave foaming facial cleanser.
• Apply Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Max Night serum.
• Use a rose quartz roller on my face and neck.
• Apply Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Max Night Hydrating Moisturizer.
• Use a rose quartz roller on my face and neck again.
• Apply Olay Eyes Deputing Eye Roller.

Other Routines

• I exfoliate twice a week at night using Olay Regenerist Pore Detoxifying Scrub cleaner.
• Once a week at night (usually Fridays) I put on a face mask. My absolute favourite face mask is from WEI Beauty Store. It’s a Two-in-One Purifying and Glow Mask Collection that has 4 golden root mask pods and 4 brown sugar pods. 
• Once a week at night I put on Swissokolab revitalizing 24k golden eye mask under my eyes.
• Every second week I do an all-over body scrub in the shower with Frank Body’s Coconut Coffee Scrub or Frank Body’s express-o-scrub. I swear by this stuff. It’s messy in the shower, but it leaves my skin so smooth and looking so healthy!

Other Must Haves

• My absolute favourite body moisturizer is a human+kind body souffle.
• Dry Bar’s Prep Rally is my go-to detangler in the summer. It smells AMAZING!
• I use Grace & Stella’s Spray all Day when I have the odd day off and I’m lounging in the sun.
