Summer is here — a time to head outdoors, soak up the sun, and simplify our routines. But to fully enjoy the season, it’s essential to prepare your skin so it stays comfortable, radiant, and well-protected. Here are three key steps to follow now for glowing skin all summer long.
1. ✨ Exfoliate to Reveal Radiance
Before applying any skincare, it’s crucial to slough off dead skin cells that dull the complexion. Regular exfoliation evens out the skin, enhances your natural tan, and boosts the absorption of moisturizers.
Try this:
Laboratoire Dr Renaud - DermaZyme 2-Step Enzymatic Exfoliant (ideal for sensitive skin)
Laboratoire Dr Renaud - Spa body Sensorial Scrub with citrus or essential oils
Once or twice a week is enough. Don’t forget your décolleté and legs!
2. 💧 Hydrate Deeply
Heat, wind, and sun exposure can quickly dry out the skin. Even oily or combination skin needs hydration during summer—just opt for lighter textures.
Our top picks for optimal hydration:
Laboratoire Dr Renaud - Hydrascience Emulsion: A fresh, lightweight formula perfect for hot days
Laboratoire Dr Renaud - Hydracalm Mask: Use 1–2 times a week for a deep moisture boost
Laboratoire Dr Renaud - 3-in-1 Huile Soyeuse : Ideal for nourishing the body after a day in the sun
Pro tip: Apply moisturizer to slightly damp skin to lock in hydration.
3. 🧴 Protect with Quality Sunscreen
No summer skincare routine is complete without sun protection. It’s your best defense against sunburn, premature aging, and pigmentation.
Keep these essentials close by:
Vivier - Tinted Sunscreen: Evens out the complexion while protecting
Esthederm - Adaptasun Silky Mist: Easy to reapply throughout the day
Apply generously and reapply every two hours, especially after swimming.
🧖♀️ Bonus: After-Sun Care
Even with proper protection, your skin may need extra TLC at the end of the day. After-sun products enriched with aloe, chamomile, or hyaluronic acid help soothe, rehydrate, and extend your glow.
