Joanna Czech, a master esthetician with nearly 40 years of experience, provides her expert advice on summer skin care routines. Known for her cutting-edge treatments and holistic approach, she shares tips on maintaining a healthy complexion.

Summer A.M. Routine

1. Exfoliate:

   • Begin with dry brushing followed by a gentle scrub like Reflekt’s exfoliating face wash, which can also be used on the body.
2. Tone + Protect:
   • Apply sunscreen 15-30 minutes before sun exposure. Czech prefers mild chemical sunscreens like Chuda’s SPF 30.
   • Use a pH-controlling toner and day cream, remembering to cover often-overlooked areas like the neck and ears.

Summer P.M. Routine

1. Double Cleanse:

   • Start with an oil cleanser like Swiss Perfection’s Cleansing Oil, followed by their Purifying Gel to cleanse and refresh the skin.

2. Balance:

   • Use products with a pH around 5.5 to restore balance, such as Joanna Czech’s toner or Swiss Perfection’s Balancing Water.

3. Retinyl:

   • Utilize retinyl for skin strengthening, opting for Environ’s retinyl products which offer different levels depending on your skin tolerance.
4. Hydrate:
   • To retain moisture overnight, apply a rich cream, such as Biologique’s MSRH cream or Environ’s Derma-Lac Lotion.

After-Sun Care

• Wipes and Cooling Products:
  • Use face wipes to remove chlorine and salt. Czech’s wipes contain rosemary extract for de-puffing.
  • Consider cooling sheet masks or soothing serums such as Bioeffect’s Hydrogel Masks or her own soothing serum.

Travel Essentials

• Include face wipes, a balancing toner, and a vitamin C serum. Czech suggests her Vitamin C+ Serum and Swiss Perfection’s Vitamin Cream.

Key Advice

• Avoid aggressive treatments in the summer due to prolonged outdoor exposure.
• Keep routines simple; excess layering can reduce the effectiveness of products.
• Alternate serums for variety without overwhelming the skin.

This summary reflects Joanna Czech’s approach to maintaining a balanced and radiant complexion, emphasizing simplicity and protection.
