☀️ Summer Skin SOS: Common Problems & Easy Fixes!

Hey Sunshine! 😎
Summer is here, and we’re all about beach days, iced lattes, and glowing skin. But let’s be real—summer can be a little extra when it comes to skin drama. From sunburns to sweat-induced breakouts, your skin might need a little backup. Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered (literally and figuratively)! 

Here are the most common summer skin problems and how to kick them to the curb like a boss:

1. Sunburn: Ouch, It Hurts! 🔥

The problem: You stayed in the sun “just a little longer” and now you're redder than a lobster.

Fix it:

  • Apply aloe vera gel or a soothing lotion with cucumber or chamomile.
  • Take cool (not cold) showers and drink lots of water.
  • Avoid scrubbing or peeling—let your skin heal gently.

Pro Tip: Keep a bottle of our Soothing UltraCalming Mist in the fridge for a refreshing after-sun spritz! ❄️🌿


2. Sweat Breakouts (a.k.a. Summer Acne) 😓

The problem: Sweat + oil + sunscreen = clogged pores. Hello, breakouts.

Fix it:

  • Wash your face with a gentle gel cleanser after sweating.
  • Look for non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores) sunscreens and moisturizers.
  • Add a light exfoliator 2–3 times a week.

Pro Tip: Dermalogica's Oil to Foam Cleanser is great at removing build-up while staying gentle and non-drying. 


3. Heat Rash (Prickly, Itchy, and Annoying) 🌡️

The problem: Those tiny red bumps on your chest, neck, or back? Classic heat rash.

Fix it:

  • Wear loose, breathable fabrics.
  • Take cool showers and skip heavy lotions.
  • Dab with witch hazel or a calming toner to soothe irritation.


4. Dry, Peeling Skin (Even After the Beach Glow) 🏖️

The problem: Your skin's peeling like paint, and it’s not cute.

Fix it:

  • Exfoliate gently with a sugar scrub once or twice a week.
  • Follow up with a hydrating body lotion or body oil.
  • Don’t forget SPF every day to prevent future damage!

Pro Tip: Try Ahava's Mineral Body Lotion or Moroccanoil's Body Soufflé—it’s rich but melts in like a dream. ✨


5. Body Acne (Back-ne Be Gone!) 💥

The problem: Pimples on your back or shoulders? Blame sweat, tight clothes, and bacteria.

Fix it:

  • Shower right after sweating or working out.
  • Use a salicylic acid body wash a few times a week.
  • Change out of tight, sweaty clothes ASAP.

Pro Tip: Murad's Acne Body Wash will penetrate deep into the skin.

 

Final Summer Skin Tips 🌈

  • Stay hydrated (yes, that big water bottle is your bestie).
  • Keep your skincare lightweight—less is more in the heat.
  • Always reapply SPF every 2 hours (especially if you’re sweating or swimming).
