How to Get Glowing Skin for Summer

When we’re talking about summer skincare, no single word comes up more often than “glow.” A lit-from-within look is the holy grail for summer skin, whether alone or with a sun kissed makeup application.

But while warmer temperatures may feel deliciously balmy, they can also cause skin to become oily and shiny. Fortunately, a few simple adjustments in your skincare routine can help keep your skin balanced and glowing without unwanted shine. Follow the routine below for healthy, radiant skin all summer long.

Step One: Cleanse

Your summer cleanser should be powerful enough to remove excess oil and impurities, but gentle enough to leave your moisture barrier intact. Our Amino Aloe Gentle Cleanser transforms from a refreshing gel to a satisfying foam to deep clean pores using a gentle amino acid complex. Meanwhile, soothing aloe calms and leaves skin refreshed while sugarcane derived squalane weightlessly hydrates and replenishes the skin’s barrier.

Step Two: Balance

Refresh, balance and hydrate with our Hyaluronic Acid Facial Mist. This award-winning formula is made with two types of hyaluronic acid to weightlessly restore hydration for complete, skin-plumping moisture. Use it on still-damp skin after cleansing to maximize its moisture-boosting benefits, and spritz after the day for a burst of refreshing hydration.

Step Three: Treat

Summertime brings increased sun exposure – even when you’re diligent about wearing sunscreen. Use a vitamin C serum to brighten and add an extra layer of protection against free radicals. Our Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum delivers a boost of brightness with 10% vitamin C to help protect against dark spots while white shiitake mushrooms visibly improves the look of uneven pigmentation.

Step Four: Hydrate

It may sound counterintuitive, but oily skin is often dehydrated skin. As the skin becomes dehydrated, oil glands go into overdrive, unleashing a flood of protective oil to help trap water within the skin. Head off oiliness and promote a clear, calm complexion with our Probiotic Gel Moisturizer. This lightweight gel actively clarifies skin by promoting a diverse microbiome using encapsulated probiotics so that the skin can more effectively defend against dehydration and blemish-causing bacteria. Meanwhile squalane delvers weightless hydration to support and replenish the skin’s moisture barrier, locking in all-day hydration.

Step Five: Protect

End your routine with the most important step in any skincare regimen: a broad spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen. Our Zinc Sheer Mineral Sunscreen provides powerful mineral protection with no white cast using natural zinc oxide. Meanwhile moisture-binding ectoin soothes and hydrates while squalane locks in moisture, creating a natural-looking glow.
