The needs of your skin change with every passing season, so it’s silly to let one type of skin care routine become your norm for the whole year. As we get to the summertime season, it’s important that you follow some new skin-care rules.

Here are just a few ideas to help you out:

1. Wear sunscreen! This is absolutely the most important thing you can do for your skin in the summer. You should be wearing at least SPF 15 on your face and all your exposed skin, especially easily-burn places like your décolletage. Find a spray-on sunscreen for your body if you’re in a rush, and use something light for your face that won’t clog your pores.

2. Don’t wear sunscreen all the time. This isn’t a contradiction! Your body needs about fifteen minutes a day of sun exposure without sunscreen to make enough Vitamin D, an important nutrient for your skin and your bones. Get out in the morning before you put on sunscreen or in the evening after you shower it off and garden, read, or play with your kids in the yard. Just make sure that you aren’t out for more than fifteen to thirty minutes, and don’t go out when the sun is strongest in the early afternoon.

3. Find the right moisturizer. Finding the right summertime moisturizer can be tricky, and you might actually need to keep more than one on hand for different occasions. You’re like to deal with dry skin if you’re out in the sun and wind, but if it gets hot and humid, sweat might also make your skin feel oily. The key here is to find balance. Use something with sunscreen in it during the day, and then choose a heavier moisturizer at night to replenish what you lost in the wind and sun.
