My Acne-Friendly Summer Skincare Routine

When it comes to my summer skincare routine, consistency is key. While the products might change with the seasons, I stick to a regimen of cleansing, toning, applying serum or treatment, moisturizing, and definitely applying SPF. With acne-prone skin, a simple routine works best for me, avoiding product overload.

Now that summer is here, I’ve adapted my skincare for lighter, airy products that are practically weightless on the skin, affecting my makeup and fragrance choices too. While my routine might seem elaborate, for someone who loves beauty products, I’ve honed in on what works best for my oily skin.

Summer Skincare Essentials

1. Cleansing:

   • La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Face Cleanser keeps my skin clean without stripping it, perfect for frequent washing in hot weather.

2. Facial Mist:

   • Weleda Skin Food Facial Mist serves as my toner, delivering hydration with hyaluronic acid and a delightful herbal scent.

3. Moisturizing SPF:

   • Sarah Creal Brilliant Repair Shield Illuminating Broad Spectrum Face Mineral Sunscreen Serum SPF 50 acts as both moisturizer and sunscreen, providing an illuminating glow.
4. Depuffing Tool:
   • The Therabody De-Puffing Wand is a mess-free alternative to an ice roller, soothing inflamed skin.

Quick Makeup Routine

In summer, I prefer lightweight makeup that includes SPF:

• Daybird 4-In-1 Serum Skin Tint with SPF 50 offers surprising coverage and water resistance, a perfect beach companion.
• Natasha Denona Hy-Glam Brightening & Hydrating Serum Concealer gives quick hydration and coverage under my eyes.
• Givenchy Prisme Libre Blurring & Color-Correcting Matte Pressed Powder sets makeup beautifully.
• Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Quad adds a stunning blush shade with subtle glow.
• Iris&Romeo Weekend Skin SPF 30 Moisture Lip Balm protects and adds a chic tint, with my favorite shade being Carob.

Body and Fragrance

• Formulary 55 Sea Salt & Sage – Nourish Daily Body Oil is my go-to for lightweight hydration that absorbs quickly and leaves a fresh scent.
• Jo Malone London Wood Sage & Sea Salt Cologne pairs perfectly with the body oil, making the scent last longer.
• Boy Smells Rosy Cheeks Perfume adds a final layer with its fruity floral notes, creating a sophisticated, summer-ready scent combination.

This routine not only keeps my skin clear and protected but ensures I’m out the door in record time.
