High temperatures, intense sunlight, and increased sweating pose particular challenges for the skin in the summer. During the warmer months, many people notice that their skin becomes oilier, their pores become clogged, or they develop dry, irritated patches of skin. However, with the right skincare routine, you can provide your skin with optimal support and protect it from the stresses of summer.
At JUVENIS in Vienna, we provide personalized advice on how to keep your skin healthy, well-cared-for, and radiant during the summer.
Why does the skin change in hot weather?
Rising temperatures stimulate sweat and sebum production. At the same time, the skin loses more moisture and is exposed to increased UV radiation.
The consequences may include:
- shiny or oily skin
- clogged pores
- Pimples and Blemishes
- Feeling of dryness
- Pigment spots
- Sunburn
- premature skin aging
A tailored skincare routine helps keep the skin balanced.
Tip 1: Gently cleanse your skin
Sweat, sebum, and sunscreen can build up on the skin throughout the day.
Therefore, it is recommended that:
- A gentle facial cleanser in the morning and at night
- lukewarm water instead of hot water
- Gentle cleansing products without harsh ingredients
Cleaning too often can weaken the skin barrier and further irritate the skin.
Tip 2: Moisture Instead of Heavy Creams
Even though skin often appears oilier in the summer, it still needs plenty of moisture. Light, non-greasy skincare products with moisturizing ingredients are particularly well-suited for this.
Suitable active ingredients include, among others:
- Hyaluronic acid
- Glycerin
- Panthenol
Tip 3: Apply sunscreen every day
The most important step in any summer skincare routine is consistent UV protection.
The following is recommended:
- daily sunscreen with an appropriate SPF
- Protection against UVA and UVB rays
- Reapply sunscreen regularly during extended outdoor activities
Sunscreen not only protects against sunburn, but also against photoaging and age spots.
Tip 4: Drink plenty of fluids
Staying properly hydrated benefits the entire body—including the skin. It’s especially important to make sure you drink enough water on hot days.
Tip 5: Use light skin care products
In the summer, light textures are often more comfortable than rich creams. Depending on your skin type, lotions or gel creams may be a good choice, as they nourish the skin without weighing it down unnecessarily.
Tip 6: Soothe your skin after sunbathing
After prolonged exposure to the sun, the skin benefits from soothing care. Products containing moisturizing or cooling ingredients can help the skin regenerate.
When is it a good idea to see a dermatologist?
If symptoms persist despite adjustments to your skincare routine, you should consult a dermatologist to determine the cause.
This applies in particular to:
- dark pigment spots
- persistent skin irritation
- Acne or blemishes
- Rosacea
- unusual skin changes
