Summary: Keep your skin glowing, hydrated and protected all summer long by updating your routine with lightweight moisturisers, daily SPF, double cleansing and targeted body care. From bronzing gels and dry body brushing to SPF lip care and nourishing hand creams, discover simple ways to achieve healthy, radiant summer skin.
Summer is here, and with longer days, warmer temperatures and more time spent outdoors, it’s the perfect opportunity to refresh your skincare routine. While sunshine can boost your mood and give skin a healthy-looking glow, increased heat, humidity, UV exposure and air conditioning can all impact your skin's hydration levels and overall appearance.
Whether you're heading off on holiday, enjoying a staycation or simply making the most of sunny weekends, updating your summer skincare routine can help keep your complexion looking radiant, hydrated and protected all season long.
Discover our top summer skincare tips and must-have products for glowing summer skin.
1. Create a Natural Summer Glow with LOVELY DAY Bronzing Gel
Looking for an effortless sun-kissed complexion without spending hours in the sun? A bronzing gel is one of the easiest ways to achieve a natural-looking glow.
LOVELY DAY Immediate Response Bronzing Gel can be mixed with your favourite daily moisturiser to create a customised, buildable tan. Simply add a small amount and gradually increase until you reach your desired level of glow.
Why you'll love it:
* Instant bronzed radiance
* Buildable colour for a natural finish
* Perfect for face and body
* No lengthy self-tan routine required
Top Tip: Mix with your moisturiser for an even, streak-free application and a healthy holiday-inspired glow.
2. Boost Skin Smoothness with Dry Body Brushing
One of the best-kept secrets in body care, dry body brushing is a simple yet effective addition to your summer beauty routine.
This spa-inspired ritual helps to:
* Exfoliate dead skin cells
* Improve skin texture
* Reveal softer, smoother skin
* Support circulation
* Prepare skin for self-tan application
Using the GIVING IT THE BRUSH OFF Detoxing Dry Body Brush, work in firm circular motions from your feet upwards towards the heart before showering.
Regular dry brushing can help leave skin looking brighter, smoother and summer-ready.
3. Don't Forget Hand Care This Summer
While we often focus on facial skincare, our hands are exposed to the sun just as much and can show signs of dryness, pigmentation and premature ageing.
Keeping a nourishing hand cream nearby throughout the day helps maintain hydration and comfort, especially after frequent hand washing or sun exposure.
PALM BALM Nourishing Hand Cream helps:
* Hydrate dry hands
* Soften rough skin
* Improve the appearance of uneven skin tone
* Reduce the look of age spots
* Condition dry cuticles
4. Double Cleanse Every Evening
If there is one skincare habit we recommend all year round, it's double cleansing. During summer, your skin accumulates:
* SPF
* Makeup
* Sweat
* Excess oil
* Environmental pollutants
A single cleanse may not completely remove these impurities, which can lead to congestion and dull-looking skin.
Start with IN THE BEGINNING Deep Cleansing Melt to dissolve makeup, sunscreen and daily build-up. Follow with a second cleanse using DUAL ACT Purifying Cleansing Lotion or your preferred TEMPLESPA cleanser to leave skin feeling fresh, clean and perfectly prepared for the rest of your skincare routine.
Benefits of double cleansing:
* Removes SPF effectively
* Helps prevent blocked pores
* Improves skincare absorption
* Leaves skin feeling cleaner and smoother
5. Protect and Nourish Lips with Daily SPF
Lip care is often overlooked, yet the delicate skin on our lips is particularly vulnerable to sun damage and dehydration. Adding an SPF lip balm to your daily routine can help protect against UVA and UVB rays while keeping lips soft and comfortable.
LIP DEFENCE SPF30 Protecting Lip Balm provides:
* Broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection
* Long-lasting hydration
* A glossy, comfortable finish
For overnight nourishment, switch to ALL TALK Moisturising Lip Balm, enriched with Mediterranean ingredients to help soothe and condition dry lips.
Summer lip care essentials:
* Wear SPF daily
* Reapply regularly outdoors
* Use a nourishing balm overnight
6. Switch to a Lightweight Summer Moisturiser
As temperatures rise, many people find their winter moisturiser feels too rich or heavy. The best summer moisturisers deliver hydration without leaving skin feeling greasy or overloaded.
TRUFFLE DE-LIGHT Hydra-Gel Moisturiser is ideal for warmer weather, providing lightweight hydration while helping skin feel refreshed, balanced and comfortable throughout the day.
Why choose a lighter moisturiser in summer?
* Absorbs quickly
* Feels weightless on skin
* Helps prevent excess shine
* Delivers hydration without heaviness
Don't forget to finish your morning routine with a broad-spectrum SPF. Daily sun protection remains one of the most important steps for healthy-looking skin, whatever the season.
