Your Summer Skincare Refresh: 3 Easy Switches to Make Right Now

Hello beautiful,

Doesn’t it feel like spring just started... and yet somehow we’re already unpacking our straw hats and thinking about SPF?

That’s because Memorial Day is creeping up fast—basically the unofficial start of summer. But while the calendar may still say spring, your skin? It’s already picking up on the shift.

🧴 Spring to Summer: It’s a Gentle Transition (Thank Goodness)

Unlike the big switch we make from summer to fall—when skin suddenly dries out, flakes, or flares up—this season is more of a soft adjustment.

But still, it’s worth adjusting.

Think: a little more SPF, a little less heavy cream.
Lighter layers. Smarter hydration. More sun protection. (Yes, again.)

🌼 1. Lighten up your layers

Let’s be real—dry skin doesn’t check the calendar.

Even in spring, it can stick around. So if you’ve been reaching for a heavier moisturizer, you’re not doing anything wrong.

But as temps rise and the sun shows up more often, thick creams can start to feel a bit too heavy during the day. They might leave your skin feeling greasy or mess with how your SPF or makeup wears.

So...

Keep the heavier stuff (like our Ocean Caviar Face Cream) for nighttime.
That’s when your skin’s in repair mode and can soak up the extra moisture.

During the day, switch to something lighter—like our Vitamin C Face Cream. It layers beautifully under sunscreen and makeup, and still gives you that fresh, healthy glow.

Grab both together with our Moisturizing Set!
Moisturize without the weight—hydration that’s just right for dry skin, all day and night.

🌞 2. SPF is your non-negotiable

You knew this was coming. 😉

Okay, so I've said it a million times: sunscreen is non-negotiable. But if you’ve been using a thicker sunscreen, now's the time to switch to a lighter sunscreen. But don’t worry—lighter doesn’t mean less protection!

When we talk about “lighter” sunscreen, we mean formulas that absorb quickly and leave your skin feeling soft and hydrated, without that greasy or sticky feeling. These lighter sunscreens tend to have a more fluid consistency, so they won’t feel heavy or clog your pores, especially when you’re layering them under makeup or a moisturizer.

A lightweight, broad-spectrum SPF is your best friend for summer.

💧 3. Drink Water

We all love a good smoothie, iced tea, or fruity drink to keep cool when the weather heats up. And yes, they’re delicious and refreshing! But let’s not forget the most important drink: water.

As summer hits, it's tempting to swap out water for sugary beverages. While those fruity drinks are tasty, they can leave your skin thirsty for hydration.

It's not about drinking more water—it's about balancing those refreshing drinks with good ol' H2O. With the long days and outdoor fun, water helps you feel your best, keeping your body and skin hydrated all season long!

✨ Already doing all this? You glow, girl.

If you’ve already swapped moisturizers, SPF, and love your current routine—awesome! 🙌 You’re already set up for a glowy summer, and I’m here for it!

But, if you’re looking for a few extra tips to elevate your routine, here are some things I’ve been focusing on lately:

• Cooling tools (like a chilled roller or gua sha in the fridge) to de-puff and refresh

• Vitamin C Serum every morning  for that extra glow + added protection against environmental stressors

• Double cleansing at night, especially after spending more time outdoors, to make sure everything is fully removed

Now’s also a great time to do a little spring cleaning for your beauty products:

• Wash your makeup brushes (When was the last time you did it, really?)

• Toss anything that smells funky or has changed color

• Check expiration dates—yes, skincare expires, too!

These little additions (and cleanups) can make a big difference in how you feel heading into summer!
