When the sun is blazing, and the temperature rises, dry skin can become even more challenging to manage. While we all know sunscreen is essential, hydration is just as crucial for maintaining a healthy, glowing complexion throughout the hot summer months. Dehydrated skin needs extra care to keep it smooth, moisturized, and balanced.

No matter your skin type — dry, oily, or combination; hydration is the key to keeping your skin healthy, especially during summer. The intense heat, sweat, and exposure to environmental stressors can leave your skin feeling parched and vulnerable. Without proper hydration, your skin may become dull, flaky, and irritated, making it highly prone to issues like fine lines and sun damage. Following these four simple skincare steps for summer will help you maintain hydrated, plump skin at all times.
