☀️ The Truth About Summer Skin
Let’s be honest—summer skin comes with its own set of drama. Between sweat, sun exposure, oil overload, and inconsistent routines, it’s easy to fall into habits that sabotage your glow.
As a licensed esthetician and skincare educator, I’m here to walk you through the five most common summer skincare mistakes I see every single year—and exactly how to fix them.
Whether you're a beauty pro or skincare lover, this reset is for YOU.
🔥 Mistake #1: Skipping SPF Reapplication
The Fix: Sunscreen isn’t a one-and-done product. You must reapply every 2 hours—especially if you’re sweating, swimming, or wearing makeup.
✅ Try this:
Skin Script Rx Sheer Protection SPF 30 – Lightweight, broad-spectrum, non-comedogenic, and perfect for oily or combo skin.
🔁 Pro tip: Keep a travel-size in your purse or car for mid-day touchups.
❌ Mistake #2: Over-Exfoliating
Summer makes us feel extra oily, but scrubbing your face every day damages your skin barrier and causes even more breakouts.
The Fix: Cut back to exfoliating 2–3x a week max, and always follow with a hydrating serum.
✅ Try this duo:
Skin Script Rx Raspberry Refining Scrub – A gentle manual exfoliant with salicylic acid.
Skin Script Rx Ageless Hydrating Serum – Packed with peptides and hyaluronic acid to restore moisture.
💧 Bonus: Apply serum while your face is still slightly damp to lock in hydration.
🧴 Mistake #3: Using Heavy Creams in Hot Weather
The Fix: Switch to a lightweight moisturizer that hydrates without clogging pores.
✅ Client Favorite:
Skin Script Rx Light Aloe Moisturizer – Soothing, breathable, and perfect for summer. It’s oil-free and works well under makeup.
🌿 Aloe also calms post-sun inflammation!
🤦🏽♀️ Mistake #4: Ignoring Your Neck, Chest, and Ears
These areas age just like your face, and they get just as much sun exposure.
The Fix: Extend your routine from forehead to chest—cleanser, serum, moisturizer, and SPF included.
💡 Esthetician’s Tip: If you’re using actives like vitamin C or retinol, apply those to your décolleté, too (unless you’re sensitive—then ease in slowly).
🎨 Mistake #5: Wearing Pore-Clogging Makeup
That flawless summer glam might be sabotaging your skin. Many makeup products—especially in summer—can clog pores, trigger breakouts, and disrupt your skincare routine.
The Fix: Stick to lightweight, glow-enhancing products that nourish your skin while enhancing your look.
✅ Esthetician-Approved Beauty Picks from Beautifully Broken Kosmetics:
-
Gold Illuminator: This glow-getter delivers a lit-from-within finish without the heaviness of traditional highlighters. Dab it on the high points of your face or mix it with your moisturizer for a radiant summer glow. It’s non-comedogenic, vegan, and designed with sensitive skin in mind.
-
Avocado & Cucumber Cleansing Wipes: Perfect for your beach bag or makeup drawer, these calming wipes gently remove makeup, dirt, and oil without stripping your skin. Infused with soothing avocado and cucumber extract, they’re a summer must-have.
🧽 Pro tip: Always double cleanse at night, even if you only wore SPF or illuminator. Clean skin is the foundation of a healthy glow!
