Sun-Kissed & Glowing: Your Summer Skincare Survival Guide
By Celebrity Spa by Gabby Ricci
Summer is right around the corner, and while we love the long sunny days, glowing skin, and beach getaways, it’s important to protect and nourish your skin through it all. Whether you’re out running errands in the sun or lounging beachside with a piña colada in hand, your skin deserves a little extra TLC. Here are Gabby Ricci’s go-to tips for glowing through summer—beautifully and safely.
1. Sunscreen is Non-Negotiable
Daily SPF is a must, even on cloudy days. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Reapply every 2 hours, especially if you’re swimming or sweating. Don’t forget often-missed spots like your ears, the back of your neck, and the tops of your feet!
2. Hydrate From the Inside Out
Heat and sun exposure can dehydrate your skin fast. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, and incorporate hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumber, and berries. For an extra boost, try a hydrating facial mist or hyaluronic acid serum.
3. Lighten Up Your Routine
Swap out heavy creams for lighter moisturizers and gel-based products. A lightweight, antioxidant-rich serum in the morning (think Vitamin C) can protect your skin from sun damage and keep your complexion radiant.
4. Exfoliate Smartly
Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and lets your summer glow shine through, but don’t overdo it—especially if you’ve been in the sun. Gentle exfoliants, once or twice a week, will do the trick.
5. Protect Your Lips & Eyes
Use a lip balm with SPF and wear sunglasses with UV protection. Your lips and the delicate skin around your eyes are super sensitive to sun damage.
6. Vacation-Mode Musts
If you’re heading to the beach or pool:
•Bring an oversized hat and sun shirt.
•Stick to mineral sunscreen for reef-safe protection.
•After sun exposure, soothe your skin with aloe vera or a calming mask.
