Sun, heat, perspiration… How to adapt your facial routine in summer

With the arrival of sunny days, the skin changes its rhythm. Between the sun, high temperatures, perspiration, and sunscreen, the epidermis is put to the test. The result: dilated pores, shine, imperfections, dehydration, and more.

Here's how to adjust your beauty routine to keep skin clear, balanced, and glowing all summer long.

⸻

1. Lighten your routine without abandoning it

There's no need to overload your skin when it's hot. Opt for a short, targeted, and, above all, non-comedogenic routine.

• In the morning : a gentle cleanser, a light moisturizing lotion, an antioxidant serum and an SPF.

• In the evening : deep makeup removal, gentle purifying treatment and appropriate hydration.

DERMOVA advice : occasionally add an anti-blemish corrector patch in case of spots caused by heat or perspiration.

2. Never neglect sun protection

UV rays are the main cause of premature aging of the skin: spots, wrinkles, sagging, etc.

Choose a minimum SPF 30 , broad spectrum, suitable for the face and non-greasy.

And reapply every 2 to 3 hours if you are exposed.

3. Clean thoroughly (but without being harsh)

Sweat and sunscreen can clog pores, especially in summer.

Opt for a gentle double cleanse at the end of the day:

1. A makeup remover oil or balm

2. A gentle cleansing gel

Complete with gentle exfoliation 1 to 2 times a week to prevent blemishes.

4. Focus on light and moisturizing treatments

Even in summer, the skin needs hydration!

Prefer:

• Gel or serum textures

• Active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid or niacinamide

• Non-comedogenic care without heavy fats

5. Adapt your targeted care

Acne-prone skin can be more prone to blemishes in the summer , due to sebum and perspiration.

Use localized purifying treatments (patches, serums) based on salicylic acid or tea tree to calm inflammation quickly.

On the anti-aging side, focus on prevention : antioxidants in the morning, hydration and regeneration at night (like with DERMOVA Paris micro-cone patches).

Conclusion

In summer, a minimalist but smart routine helps preserve skin's radiance, prevent blemishes, and slow down skin aging . Protect, moisturize, purify: the three reflexes to adopt without moderation.
