smart summer skincare: your dermal essentials guide to healthy, protected skin

warmer temperatures, longer days & increased uv exposure all demand a strategic shift in your skincare approach. the summer season brings higher humidity, more sun exposure & often, more clogged pores. this makes it essential to adapt your routine without overwhelming your skin barrier.

here’s a dermatologist-informed guide using dermal essentials products to help your skin stay healthy, balanced & protected all summer long:

1. switch to a gentle daily cleanser
summer sweat & sunscreen buildup can clog pores, especially if you’re using a heavy cleanser. we recommend clean: daily face cleanser—a lightweight, antioxidant-rich cleanser suitable for all skin types. it removes impurities without stripping essential moisture.

2. exfoliate strategically
summer isn’t the time to over-exfoliate, but mild exfoliation helps prevent congestion & dullness. use correct: exfoliant peel pads 2–3 times a week to keep skin smooth & pores clear without irritation.

3. prioritize hydration over heavy creams
opt for hydrating serums & light moisturizers instead of thick occlusives. hydrate: oil-free serum moisturizer delivers weightless hydration with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide & peptides—perfect for summer.

4. don’t skip sun protection
sunscreen is your most powerful anti-aging tool. eltamd uv clear broad-spectrum spf 46 is lightweight, non-comedogenic & contains niacinamide to calm skin while protecting from harmful uv rays. reapply every 2 hours when exposed to sunlight.

5. target dark spots & uneven tone
increased sun exposure can worsen hyperpigmentation. incorporate fade: a cream into your routine. it contains tranexamic acid, niacinamide & bakuchiol to visibly brighten skin & fade discoloration.

6. simplify your routine
summer is the perfect time to streamline your skincare. use multi-tasking products & avoid layering too many actives. focus on hydration, barrier support & sun protection to prevent irritation or breakouts.
