Below, we share the essential tips for adapting your skincare routine for warmer weather, plus our summecosmetics recommendations specifically designed to preserve the health, comfort, and beauty of your skin throughout the season.
1. Sun protection: the non-negotiable step
At this time of year, sun protection becomes the cornerstone of any facial routine. Not only because of its role in preventing photoaging, dark spots, and loss of firmness, but also because it prevents deep cellular damage and silent inflammation that compromise long-term skin health.
It’s essential to choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen reinforced with antioxidants to protect against free radicals.
We recommend:
➤ SUMMESUN, our smart photoprotection system. In this line, you’ll find all types of sunscreens, both facial and body, formulated to meet all your needs.
2. Light and Hydrating Textures
Heat and humidity can make your skin feel heavier or even promote the appearance of shine, clogged pores, or blemishes. That doesn’t mean we should cut back on hydration, as the sun, salt water, and air conditioning are intensely dehydrating, disrupting the barrier function and promoting sensitivity, tightness, or the appearance of fine lines.
Summer hydration should be lighter in texture, but just as effective. Gel or serum formulas, rich in moisturizing active ingredients, are the best option.
We recommend:
➤ Our most hydrating serum and cream combo in a gel texture, which also helps strengthen the skin’s barrier function: NICELY SKINCARE HYDRATION SERUM + NICELY SKINCARE HYDRATION CREAM
3. Effective Minimalism
When the heat hits, many people tend to abandon their beauty routine due to the feeling of heaviness. The solution isn’t to eliminate essential steps, but rather to opt for multifunctional, fast-absorbing, invisible-touch products that make the process easier.
Reapplying sunscreen every 2-3 hours, especially if there is direct exposure, is key. Always carry a facial mist with SPF so you can reapply easily without having to remove your makeup.
We recommend:
➤ Have you tried our NICELY SMOOTH FINAL CREAM yet? In addition to providing your skin with a protective shield against major external factors (UV, HEVL (blue), IR, and environmental pollution), it has a complexion-perfecting effect thanks to the touch of color in its formula. Your complexion will be radiant and even-toned, without the need for foundation!
4. Boost your Antioxidants
Oxidative stress induced by the sun and air pollutants accelerates aging and diminishes the skin’s natural defenses.
Antioxidants become great allies in your daily routine to neutralize free radicals, enhancing the action of your sunscreen and preventing long-term damage.
We recommend:
➤ CELL C, our antioxidant line that defends against free radicals, formulated with specific active ingredients for oxygenated, luminous, and even-toned skin.
5. Gentle and Strategic Exfoliation
In summer, pores tend to become more clogged by sweat, sebum, and SPF residue. However, using intense exfoliants (such as high-concentration AHAs/BHAs) can sensitize the skin and make it more vulnerable to the sun. Instead, opt for options that maintain renewal without compromising the skin barrier, such as gentle enzymatic or mechanical peels.
The key is to exfoliate less frequently, preferably at night, and to always wear sunscreen during the day. This keeps cell renewal active and promotes a luminous, even, and long-lasting tan.
We recommend:
➤ NICELY ENZYME PEEL, an enzymatic peel ideal for all skin types, even the most reactive and sensitized.
Taking care of your skin in the summer is a smart investment.
It’s not about complicating your routine, but rather adapting it. Understanding what your skin needs in the summer and giving it the right tools is the best way to maintain its balance, prevent cumulative damage, and boost its natural defense mechanisms.
This summer, opt for lightweight textures, protective active ingredients, and no-excuses sun protection. Your skin will thank you!
