With the days getting warmer and holidays on the horizon, it’s time to get your summer skincare routine sorted. But what are the best serums for summer, and are there any face serums that can help with oily skin?
Read on to find out all the tips and tricks to organising an amazing summer skincare routine.
4 tips for your summer skincare routine
Ready to take summer by storm? Use these quick and easy tips for brighter, younger-looking skin this summer:
Tip #1: Lighten up your skincare routine
Summer is the time to cut down on layers of clothing, which means it’s also time to lighten up your skincare routine. The heat and humidity means you can swap out those heavier cleansers (e.g. creams and thick oils) for a gentle foaming product instead.
Tip #2: Invest in a Vitamin C Serum
There’s never a bad time to get plenty of Vitamin C, but it’s even more important in summer. Vitamin C helps prevent hyperpigmentation, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and it can even support greater production of collagen. Layer a few drops of your favourite Brightening Serum on your skin between cleansing and moisturising. 
Tip #3: Make exfoliation part of your regular skincare
While you should never over-exfoliate, summer is the best time to exfoliate more often. If you have oily skin, exfoliating regularly will be extremely beneficial during the warmer months. Take a gentle approach by slowly increasing the number of days you exfoliate every week – and use a Resurfacing Serum for dynamic exfoliation.
Tip #4: SPF, SPF, SPF!
There’s not much more to say about it. Protect your skin and keep reapplying your SPF products every couple of hours.
Which serums are best for summer?
Rather than thick and heavy creams and face oils, serums are perfect for summer because of their lightweight texture. They will never feel heavy on your skin despite the heat and humidity, and they layer really well with sunscreen.
