You may find your skin changes in the summertime; we can experience greasier skin due to the heat and humidity in the air, but it can also become easily dehydrated and dry due to sun exposure too.

Depending on your skin condition, below provides some advice for the summer months.

If you want to correct greasy conditions, we would suggest using a glycolic acid toner after cleansing to balance the skins PH, deep clean the pores and slough off the dead skin cells too – don’t be alarmed if it does tingle the skin slightly, this is completely normal to feel with glycolic acid.

• The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner 240ml 
• PIXI Glow Tonic Glycolic Acid Toner 100ml 
• The INKEY List Glycolic Acid Toner 100ml 

If you are experiencing dehydrated and dry skin we would recommend hyaluronic acid as a staple in your skincare routine, it holds up to 1000 time its own weight in water and using it along with a good level SPF will ensure you are keeping and locking in the hydration that your skin needs in the summer months.

• Kiehl's Ultra Pure 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid Moisture Plumping High-Potency Serum 30ml 
• The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% and B5 30ml
• VICHY Minéral 89 Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Serum - Hypoallergenic, For All Skin Types 50ml 

However much of an advocate we are for retinols, please be careful when using them in the summer! You should always use an SPF if you are using retinol on your skin, but you may notice more irritation in the summer, so either use it less frequently or double up on your SPF to really protect the skin.

We hope these recommendations will help you ensure you are optimizing a healthy and beautiful sun kissed glow during Summer.
