Prepare for the sun with my summertime skincare tips, perfect for busy women on the go!
With summer being right around the corner, it’s important that we step our skincare game up. Increased temperatures, humidity, and exposure to sun, makes taking care of our skin during this time of year critical.
Whether you have travel plans, or attending outdoor concerts or shows, or just enjoying a lazy day at the beach or on your patio, I’ve got a few summer skincare tips that’ll have you looking fabulous with nourished and healthy skin that everyone will notice.
Here are my summertime skincare tips for the busy chick:
Don’t Skip the SPF
While being out in the sun, it is important that you use a sunscreen with SPF of 30 or higher, as recommended by the AAD. As a RoC Ambassador, I have tried their moisturizers, and I am especially fond of RoC MULTI CORREXION 5 in 1 Chest Neck and Face Cream with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30. It goes on light and allows your skin to breathe while protecting it at the same time.
RoC moisturizers can help protect against future sun damage when used with other sun protection measures. As you may sweat or perform various activities, your moisturizer may need to be applied throughout the day for maximum protection. Doing this will not only help keep your skin out of harm’s way, but will keep it soft and supple as well.
Hydrate
While on the go, you need to make sure to hydrate your skin. You can do this easily by getting a small spray bottle of water. Fill it 3/4’s full of spring water, then add a few teaspoons of Witch Hazel and Vitamin A and a few drops of lemon. Carry the water bottle with you in your purse and spray as needed during the day to refresh and revitalize your face and skin—this is also a way to cool you off, too on extra steamy days.
Lip Action
We can’t forget our lips when it comes to skincare, so make sure to use a lip gloss or lipstick with added SPF. And if you opt for bare lips, choose a lip protectant like Rosebud Salve to help moisturize them for puckered perfection.
Exfoliate
When washing your face, make sure to use an exfoliant two to three times a week to rid your face of dead skin. You can even make your own with items you may already have in your house shown here in a past post on my blog. Your skin will thank you! (and, you can use your exfoliant all over your body, softening areas like your knees, feet, and elbows)
Soothe
After a long day in the sun, pamper your skin by applying a mud or clarifying mask to your face. This can help soothe your skin and settle it down from being in the intense heat, and potentially stop any breakouts and oiliness from forming.
Here’s to a wonderfully fabulous summer with happy skin. Make sure to utilize my summertime skincare tips for your ultimate go to guide for the season.

Thanks for the reminder. I DO always forget about my lips in the summer. I need to be better about protecting them.
I never go outside without sunscreen and I love the idea of making your own hydration spray. I’m going to try that one.
You look beautiful! Paying good attention to your skin is definitely paying off for you. I really need to do something, I’m not getting any younger. I’ll have to look for these products.
We will be heading to the beach in June, and I’m going to try out a few of these tips, especially the lip protection. I have heard a lot of great things about the ROC brand of facial products too.
These are super easy tips, you make taking care of my skin this Summer sound so easy. Glad you gave me some ideas on how I can do this easily without much extra time.
What neat ideas on taking care of your skin this Summer, it’s important to make sure that you avoid sun damaged skin while still having a blast in Summer time. Thanks for the wonderful tips!
This sounds like a great product. I always wear SPF even during the Winter. It’s so important to protect the skin from the harsh rays of the sun!
Great tips, I’m terrible at taking care of my skin on a day to day basis. If I’m at the beach I do, but I need to do it every day. I also need to make sure the kids are doing the same.
Great tips! Your skin looks beautiful, I will take your word for it 🙂
Sun block is really important for the summer months to protect your skin from UV rays. It’s also important to hydrate and also keep the skin moisturize to prevent drying skin.
I like your idea of carrying around the little spray bottle to keep your skin hydrated! I’ll have to try it.
Take out time for yourself, and try to avoid stress as much as possible. Have you ever noticed that when you are stressed, you tend to break out more? This is because stress causes your body to produce cortisol and other hormones, making the skin more oily. Practice stress management techniques like breathing exercises, yoga and meditation. The more you meditate, the more you radiate.
Skincare, bath, and body products that are infused with natural essential oils instead of harmful chemicals allow you to naturally radiate beauty while experiencing the wonderful properties of herbs like lavender and sandalwood. thanks.
