Proper skincare is especially important in the summer thanks to the humidity, heat, chlorine and the strong Sun. Here are the most common summer skincare mistakes we see and tips on how to avoid them.

1. Not Wearing Sunscreen & Not Reapplying

2. Exfoliating, Waxing & Shaving

By exfoliating in the morning, you are losing the layer of dead skin cells that act as a layer of protection from UV rays.You should exfoliate at night.With shaving and waxing, it’s best to give yourself 24 to 48 hours.Heading into the sun too soon after these can lead to some serious skin irritation form the sun, sunscreen and sand.

3. Not Switching Out Your Cleanser

Using the same cleanser during the summer as in the winter probably isn’t doing you can favors. In the summer you need to exfoliate more frequently especially if getting sun exposure and spending time outdoors.
