As the days grow longer and the sun shines stronger, our skin often craves some adjustments to its care. Summer is the ideal time to simplify your skincare routine, enhance hydration, and introduce gentleness that all bring both clarity and calm to your complexion.
Below, explore seven seasonal habits that can help mature skin thrive during the summer
DOUBLE CLEANSE: Let Your Skin Breathe
Summer calls for a fresh start every morning and night. Between sweat, sunscreen, and environmental exposure, your skin needs gentle but consistent cleansing (morning and night).
Recommendation: Try the Rosewater Wellspring Cleanser—made with aloe and rosewater—to remove impurities while maintaining your skin’s natural oils and moisture.
HYDRATE: Inside and Out
Dehydration is common in summer, even when your skin feels oily. Drinking water is essential for the health of your body and skin—but so is topical hydration.
Double-Duty Tip: Use a hydrating serum on slightly damp skin (after cleansing), and follow with a non-comedogenic moisturizer to lock it all in. Consider a facial mist for a light midday refresh.
COMBINE: Moisturizer + Oil
Create a custom, ultra-nourishing blend by mixing 1-3 drops of face oil with your daily moisturizer. It’s ideal for restoring glow without feeling heavy in summer heat.
Recommendation: Combine Sole Toscana's la Dolce Vita Elixir with Rosehip & Calendula Face Cream during your morning and evening routine. See if your skin prefers this combination in the morning, evening, or both!
PROTECT: A Hat Is Your Skin’s Best Friend
Don’t underestimate the power of physical sun protection. A chic wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses protect not just your style—but your collagen, too.
MINIMIZE: Lighten the Load
Skip heavy creams or layers, especially in the morning. Stick to 2–4 essentials in the warmer months. Think of your routine like a breezy summer wardrobe: simple, breathable, and functional.
Recommendation: Sole Toscana's 4-Step Set provides your skin with light, long-lasting hydration, perfect for the summer months.
COOL DOWN: Store Your Mask in the Fridge
Your Hydrating Mask is your best friend after a hot day in the sun. It's the perfect occasional add-on for your summer routine.
Apply it chilled to calm any redness and soothe stressed skin after sun exposure.
SLOW DOWN: Make Your Routine a Ritual
Skincare isn’t just about results—it’s also a chance to reset mentally and emotionally. Set the tone for your day or wind down your evening with intention.
Idea: Light a candle, play calming music, dim the lights, apply products slowly, and pause to appreciate the moment. Be present in your routine—feeling, smelling, and fully experiencing.
A Summer Shift
These seven habits aren’t meant to overhaul or complicate your life. They’re small, meaningful changes that align with your skin's needs this season—bringing hydration, protection, and intention to your everyday routine.
