How skincare changes in summer: the secrets to fresh, protected skin

Summer is the time when our skin needs the most attention.

Between sun, salt, sweat, and temperature changes, it's essential to adapt your skincare routine to keep your skin hydrated, protected, and radiant.

In this article, you'll discover how to adjust your facial routine as the heat arrives, which ingredients to use, and which mistakes to avoid.

Why change your skincare in summer?

Every season has its challenges: in summer the skin tends to sweat more , it can become oilier or, on the contrary, dry out due to the sun and salt .

Continuing with the same routine as in winter can prove ineffective, if not counterproductive.

The secret? Lighten, protect, and rebalance.

- Choose light but effective textures

In hot weather, skin doesn't tolerate overly rich creams well. The feeling of "suffocating skin" can lead to blemishes and excessive shine, especially for those with combination or oily skin.

What to choose:

  • Water-based hydrating gels or serums

  • Oil-free emulsions

  • Soothing and rebalancing formulas

REYSENSE products, for example, use light, quickly absorbed textures , ideal even in hot climates.

- Never forget sunscreen

UV protection is the most important step in summer skincare. Sun damage isn't just aesthetic: premature aging, dark spots, and loss of elasticity are just some of the consequences.

✔ Apply a facial sunscreen with SPF 30 or 50 every morning
✔ Reapply during the day if exposed to direct sun
✔ Choose sunscreens with antioxidants , which fight free radicals

💡 Pro tip: Pair your sunscreen with a vitamin C serum for a protective and brightening effect.

- Introduce purifying and antioxidant ingredients

Increased sweating and contact with smog and external agents can clog pores. Therefore, it's helpful to include purifying but non-aggressive ingredients.

Top ingredients for summer:

  • Niacinamide: regulates sebum and improves skin texture

  • Hyaluronic acid: maintains hydration

  • Soothing plant extracts: chamomile, aloe vera, green tea

  • Vitamin C and E: fight oxidative stress

👉 Many of these active ingredients are also the protagonists of the REYSENSE formulations , designed to accompany the skin season after season.

- Gentle exfoliation: yes, but with caution

Exfoliation helps remove dead cells and allow the skin to breathe, but in summer it is best not to overdo it , to avoid sensitization.

🔹 Once or twice a week is enough
🔹 Choose gentle enzymatic or chemical exfoliants (such as low-dose AHAs)
🔹 Avoid exfoliating before sun exposure

- After the sun: the phase that is often underestimated

Even with sunscreen, sun exposure stresses the skin. After a day outdoors, it's important to restore hydration and comfort .

💧 Choose after-sun face and body products rich in:

  • Aloe vera

  • Panthenol

  • Thermal water or soothing active ingredients

🧴 The goal? Restore skin balance, calm any redness, and prevent flaking.

Summer skincare tailored to your skin

Adapting your skincare routine for summer is the best way to preserve the beauty and health of your skin , without giving up the pleasure of daily care.

Choosing carefully formulated products, with intelligent textures and functional ingredients , is the key to fresh, luminous and protected skin.
