As the temperatures rise and summer sunshine kicks in, it’s the perfect time to refresh your routine for the season. From lightweight hydration to sun-smart protection, your skin has different needs in the warmer months. Think of this seasonal shift as a chance to simplify and streamline—without sacrificing results. If you’re wondering whether your current regimen can stand up to the summer heat, we’ve got you covered with tips, swaps, and Radical Skincare favorites to help you glow all season long.
1. Lighten Up Your Moisturizer
Winter’s heavy creams did their job, but summer demands hydration that’s featherlight. As the humidity rises, your skin produces more oil, which can lead to congestion and shine. That’s why it’s essential to swap thick moisturizers for fast-absorbing formulas.
Try This:
Radical Skincare’s Restorative Moisture
This silky, antioxidant-rich formula is deeply hydrating but never greasy. With key ingredients like tri-peptides and aloe vera, it quenches your skin while restoring balance—perfect for summer’s unpredictability.
2. Don’t Skip the SPF
No matter your skin type or tone, SPF is your summer MVP. Increased sun exposure means increased risk of premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and skin cancer. Protect your glow by wearing sunscreen every single day—and reapplying often.
Try This:
Radical Skincare’s Skin Perfecting Screen SPF 30
This multitasking mineral sunscreen delivers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection while acting as a lightweight primer that blurs imperfections. Infused with niacinamide, antioxidants, and vitamin C, it also helps even skin tone and fight environmental stressors. Plus, it leaves a radiant, non-greasy finish that wears beautifully on its own or under makeup.
Summer Tip: Layer it over Radical’s Advanced Peptide Antioxidant Serum to boost protection and enhance your glow. This antioxidant-rich serum with ferulic acid and grape seed extract helps neutralize free radicals caused by sun and pollution.
3. Switch Up Your Cleanser
Sweat, sunscreen, and outdoor activities mean your skin faces more buildup in summer. To keep pores clear and prevent breakouts, a refreshing, deep-cleaning cleanser is a must.
Try This:
Radical Skincare’s Hydrating Cleanser
Gentle yet powerful, this creamy cleanser removes impurities while soothing and softening skin with almond milk. It’s the perfect solution for post-sweat refreshes without stripping your skin barrier.
4. Exfoliate—But Gently
Dead skin cells, excess oil, and product buildup can dull your summer glow. That’s where exfoliation comes in—but too much exfoliating, especially under strong sun, can backfire.
Try This:
Radical Skincare’s Age-Defying Exfoliating Pads
These pre-soaked pads are infused with AHA and BHA acids to resurface skin, tighten pores, and improve texture. Use them 2–3 times a week at night for smoother, more radiant skin—without irritation.
5. Hydrate From the Inside Out
Summer’s heat leads to more sweat and faster dehydration. Drinking plenty of water is essential, but don’t forget topical hydration too—especially around the delicate eye area.
Try This:
Radical Skincare’s Eye Revive Crème
This multitasking eye cream tackles puffiness, fine lines, and dryness with hyaluronic acid, peptides, and antioxidants. Keep it in the fridge for an ultra-refreshing boost that feels amazing on hot days.
6. Simplify Your Makeup
Heavy foundations and powders can clog pores and melt in the heat. Instead, embrace the “skinimalism” trend—less is more when your skin is happy, healthy, and hydrated.
Prep with Radical’s Advanced Peptide Antioxidant Serum to give your skin a radiant, even-toned base, then top with the Skin Perfecting Screen SPF 30 for sun protection and subtle blurring. A swipe of mascara and a lip tint, and you’re good to go.
7. Take Care of Your Body, Too
It’s not just your face that needs love in the summer—your body skin also deserves hydration, exfoliation, and protection.
After exfoliating with a body scrub, smooth on Radical’s Express Delivery Body Peel (yes, it’s incredible for your chest, shoulders, arms and legs too!).Just Apply a thin layer to your trouble area, massage consistently for 2-4 minutes on DRY skin and feel your dead skin sluff off. It is like going to a Korean spa! Your skin will feel brighter, smoother and more supple.
8. Post-Sun Recovery Is Essential
Even with SPF, your skin can feel irritated or inflamed after a long day outside. It’s important to give it what it needs to bounce back quickly.
Try This:
Radical Skincare’s Extreme Repair
This rich, calming cream is packed with skin-repairing actives like resveratrol and evening primrose oil. Apply after sun exposure to soothe redness, replenish moisture, and restore balance overnight.
