4 Ways to Prep Your Skin for Summer

As the days start to last longer and the air gets a bit warmer, it can only mean one thing: summer is just around the corner. Though the seasons are changing, it can be hard to shed our dry and dull winter skin. In this post, we will go over four of the best and easiest ways (In our professional opinion) to whip your skin into shape and prepare it for any and all summer adventures on your horizon. Check out these 4 ways to prep your skin for summer!

 

#1. Find a routine that works – and stick to it!

It’s so important to find a skincare regimen that works for you— not for that girl you saw on TikTok, or that high school Facebook friend who keeps messaging you about her products. In order to find your perfect skincare routine, you don’t have to stress over finding just the right match – we’ve kissed all the frogs for you! Epionce™ is by far the way to go! This medical-grade, paraben-free, dermatologist-developed skincare line will have your skin glowing for summer in only 3 easy steps!

No matter what system you choose to follow, once you find the regimen that works for your unique skin needs and goals, stick to it, and practice it every day. Yes, that means removing makeup and washing your face every night— even after Taco Tuesday turns into Wednesday.

 

#2. Protect your skin from harmful UV rays

If we can’t convince you that you need to wear sunscreen even on overcast days, at least listen to our advice and apply it on those sweltering summer days. If you can’t be bothered with one more step in your morning routine, purchase tinted SPF to simplify your routine! Some of our favorites are the Revision Skincare™ Truphysical tinted SPF for anti-aging and the Epionce™ Daily Shield Tinted SPF 50 for daily use, but we offer a variety of hand-selected, medical-grade products. We have you covered with options for any of your sun protection needs! 

No matter how you choose to apply it, make sure you wear at least SPF 30 every time you leave the house during the summer. 

 

#3. Exfoliate the winter blues away

It’s time for your skin to come out of its winter hibernation! To kiss winter and its harsh effects on your skin goodbye, grab an exfoliating scrub (We love the Epicuren™ Cinnamon Vanilla Brown Sugar Polish, and it’s available in our office!) and head to the shower to have beautiful, glowing skin, just in time for summer. 

Just don’t forget the SPF after you exfoliate because your skin will be extra sensitive to the sun. 

 

#4. Get hydrated – everywhere.

We tend to put a lot of emphasis on hydrating and moisturizing our faces. But, our bodies can go neglected. With shorts season creeping up on us, be sure to hydrate and moisturize your whole body — not just your face. We recommended the Epionce™ Renewal Body Lotion! It’s an award-winner AND all of the Epionce™ renewal products have anti-aging properties.
