How to Protect Your Skin in Summer

Written By Karissa Schneehagen

Summer is all about sunshine, vacations, and glowing skin but without the right protection, that glow can quickly turn into damage. Protecting your skin doesn’t have to be complicated just consistent.

☀️ SPF is Non-Negotiable

If you do one thing—make it sunscreen.

  • Use SPF 30 or higher daily

  • Reapply every 2 hours (especially at the pool or beach)

  • Don’t forget your neck, chest, and hands

💧 Hydration is Key

Heat and sun dry your skin out fast.

  • Drink plenty of water

  • Use hydrating serums (like hyaluronic acid)

  • Switch to a lightweight moisturizer

🧴 Adjust Your Skincare Routine

What worked in winter may not work now.

  • Use gentle cleansers & always double cleanse (sweat + oil build-up is real)

  • Add antioxidants (like Vitamin C)

  • Avoid heavy products that clog pores

😎 Protect Beyond Sunscreen

  • Wear hats and sunglasses

  • Stay in the shade during peak hours

  • Avoid tanning beds (major skin damage risk)

💆‍♀️ Don’t Skip Professional Care

Summer facials help:

  • Clean out clogged pores

  • Rehydrate skin (DMK Enzyme will be your best friend)

  • Prevent breakouts

👉 Keep your skin protected and glowing all summer long—book a customized facial at Monarch Beauty & Spa.
