When the days start to get longer and the sun stays out past 8pm, you know summer is officially here – and so the question is: how do I take care of my skin and still look fabulous all season long? Between stronger UV rays, higher temps, and a little more sweat in the mix, your usual skincare routine might need a summer refresh. In this blog, we’re sharing tips to keep your skin protected, hydrated, and effortlessly radiant all summer long.
Start with Smart Sun Protection
SPF isn’t just a summer thing, it’s an everyday, year-round, rain-or-shine essential. But when the sun is blazing and you’re spending more time outside, daily sunscreen becomes your skin’s ride or die. Not only does it help prevent sunburn (obviously), but it also protects against premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and long-term damage underneath the surface.
The key? Finding a sunscreen you actually want to wear. Here are a few of our go-to formulas that combine broad-spectrum protection with skin-loving benefits.

Hydration is Key for Skin Health
It’s easy to assume that oily or sweaty skin doesn’t need moisture, but skipping hydration is one of the biggest skincare mistakes you can make this season. The goal is to balance, not strip. Besides drinking plenty of water, your skin needs extra nourishment to fight dehydration. Sun exposure, salty air, pool days, and travel can all leave your skin feeling parched, tight, or irritated. That’s where topical hydration comes in. Look for products packed with calming, moisturizing ingredients that help soothe sun-stressed skin and restore your glow.
One of our warm-weather faves is the SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Masque. It’s a post-sun hero that calms redness and delivers a hit of hydration without clogging pores. It’s like aloe’s cooler, clinically-backed sister.
Another one of our favorite products that adds a boost of hydration is the Hydrinity Hyacyn Active Purifying Mist. With an antioxidant-rich hyacinth flower extract, this ultra-fine mist delivers instant hydration and refreshes your glow on the go.
Sweat Smarter with Hyperhidrosis Treatment
While hydration is essential for healthy, glowing skin, sometimes our bodies go into overdrive – cue the sweat. Sweating is your body’s built-in AC; it helps you cool down on hot days, during workouts, or when you’re stressed. But for some people, the sweating doesn’t stop there. If you find yourself constantly changing shirts or skipping social plans because of sweat, you might be dealing with hyperhidrosis (a.k.a. excessive sweating).
Skin Clique’s Hyperhidrosis treatment uses neurotoxin injections, such Xeomin and Dysport to safely and effectively minimize sweat in areas like the underarms, hands, or feet. It’s quick, minimally invasive, and can keep you dry and confident for months.
Upgrade Your Skincare Routine This Summer
From SPF to hydration to controlling sweat, protecting your skin during these warmer months is essential to keeping healthy, glowing, and youthful skin. Not sure where to start?
