Moisturize Daily
“Despite the weather being hot and humid, you still need to moisturize,” says Dr. Ross. “Even if your skin feels oily, moisturizing is a must.” BE PURIFIED™ Oil-Free Moisturizer is a lightweight formula to help keep skin’s outer layer nourished without feeling heavy. Dr. Ross also recommends using a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher after moisturizing.
Apply Vitamin C Serum
“Vitamin C is great year-round, but all the more important in the summer,” says Dr. Ross. C. Radiance™ Illuminating Serum is a supercharged 15% vitamin C serum featuring powerful antioxidants to help brighten and enhance your complexion. C. Radiance™ glides on and absorbs easily, working rapidly to create a healthy, youthful-looking glow.
Exfoliate
Summertime is the season to slough away dead skin via exfoliating. Dr. Ross suggests incorporating exfoliation into your daily routine. Berry Refined Scrub™ is a 2-in-1 exfoliator mask that gently buffs and removes dead skin cells to reveal more even-toned, glowing skin.
Stay in the Shade
Skincare experts recommend wearing sun-protective clothing, wide-brim hats, and sunglasses in the sun. Reduce your entire body’s exposure to direct sunlight by sitting under an umbrella, and avoid midday sun to avoid overexposure and sunburn.
Stay Hydrated
“Hydration is always important for our skin, but even more so in the summer,” says Dr. Ross. Drinking eight glasses of water a day provides great results and can help the skin recover from sunburn.
SPF, SPF, SPF
“Sunscreen needs to be reapplied every couple of hours, so make sure to pack extra for long summer days outdoors,” says Dr. Ross. She recommends a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher on all exposed skin—and don’t forget to apply it to your hands, feet, ears, and lips.

“A solid skincare routine should apply to all seasons and all climates”, “With that said, there are a couple of changes one might consider when transitioning from winter to summer.”
says Dr. Ross.
