Summer Skin Care

Summer is that time of year most people look forward to. Sunny skies and warmer days have people finding time for some fun in the sun. This fun comes with necessary precautions to maintain your skin’s health. The increase in temperature, humidity, and prolonged physical activity can cause an increase of sebaceous glands to open up, increasing oil production on already oily skin or dry, patchy skin for those with dry skin. Luckily, at SkinMD, we carry a full line of Alastin Skincare to help you customize a summer skincare routine that best fits your skin type and will help keep your skin clean, healthy, and radiant.

Cleanse & Exfoliate

Cleaning and exfoliation is a crucial step in skincare. The human body sheds almost a million skin cells a day! These cells break away, fall off the skin, allowing new cells to surface. When dead skin cells do not break away, they mix with our sebum (natural oils) and clog pores, creating blackheads and whiteheads. If bacteria enters the pores, this causes acne breakouts. Regular cleansing and exfoliation, this helps to remove the upper layers of dead skin and reduces blemishes and breakouts.

We recommend Alastin Skinkcare’s Gentle Cleanser as it’s hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic (non clogging), and great for all skin types. This gentle but powerful cleanser removes daily environmental pollutants and makeup while the antioxidants keep the skin calm. Alastin’s Gentle Cleanser can be used daily in your morning and evening routine without stripping or drying your face of its natural oils.

Your face is a sensitive part of the body. Harsh products or constant exfoliation can damage the skin, stripping your face of the natural oils and cause breakouts. Alastin’s ReSurface Skin Polish delivers the power of dual-action exfoliation through volcanic minerals (physical) and AHA (chemical) in a hydrating formula. Weekly exfoliation will remove the buildup of dead skin cells and impurities without stripping or irritating skin. As part of your weekly routine after cleansing, skin feels smoother, softer, and brighter. Best of all, it’s suitable for most skin types (oily, dry, combination, and aging).

Moisturize, Protect, + Hydrate

No skincare routine would be complete without a moisturizer, sunscreen, and H2O. During the summer, we sweat more as part of our body’s natural way of regulating body temperature, leaving our body dehydrated and our skin dry. Water will help keep your skin soft and supple. A moisturizer like Alastin’s Ultra Light Moisturizer helps to restore and hydrate skin while preserving the skin’s natural barrier, perfect for all skin types, especially sensitive or compromised skin.

Sun damage can cause skin concerns like wrinkles, age spots, and skin cancer. While sunscreen is the last step of your skincare routine, it plays a crucial role in the health and appearance of your skin. Using a light, oil-free moisturizer with a 30+ broad-spectrum SPF protection like Alastin’s Silkshield All Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 can help keep your skin hydrated and protected from harmful UVA & UVB rays. Its lightweight, fragrance-free, oil-free formula is fast-absorbing, broad-spectrum, perfect for all skin types.

How Can SkinMD Help?

Even if you follow all these tips, the summer sun can still cause issues to your skin. Hyperpigmentation, more lines and wrinkles, and more. At SkinMD, we have multiple treatments at your disposal to help correct damaged skin. Whether you’re needing filler, laser treatments, VI peels, or something else to enrich your skin, we can help.
