Summer has officially entered the chat—and with it comes sunshine, humidity, spontaneous plans, and (let’s be honest) a whole lot of sweat. While we love the warmth and energy this season brings, it can also take a toll on our skin if we’re not careful.
At Solo Para Ti, we believe skincare should be intentional, gentle, and rooted in self-care—not stress. So, as the temperatures rise, here are a few easy ways to protect your skin and keep that summer glow going strong, all season long.
1. Sunscreen First, Always
We’ll never stop saying it: SPF is the most important step in any summer skincare routine. UVA and UVB rays can cause long-term skin damage, even on overcast days, so daily protection is key.
Reach for a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher and reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating. Don’t forget overlooked areas like your ears, hands, and the back of your neck.
Pro tip: Pair your sunscreen with a vitamin-rich oil (like our Divine Face Oil) to help support your skin barrier and add an extra boost of hydration underneath.
2. Lighten Up Your Routine
Just like your wardrobe shifts with the season, your skincare should too. Heavy creams can feel too rich in the heat, so swap them out for lighter, breathable options that let your skin breathe while still keeping it hydrated.
Our Divine Face Oil is a summer favorite—it’s nourishing without being greasy, packed with rosehip oil and other botanicals that help restore glow and balance. (Keep it in the fridge for a cooling treat after a long day out.)
3. Cleanse Without Stripping
Summer brings sunscreen, sweat, and city grime—so cleansing is extra important. That said, harsh cleansers can leave your skin feeling tight and dry.
Stick with a gentle, non-foaming formula that removes buildup while maintaining your skin’s natural moisture. If you’ve had a particularly active day, a double cleanse in the evening can be a game-changer.
4. Soothe After Sun
Spent a little too long in the sun? It happens. Reach for calming, restorative ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, and rosehip oil to help reduce inflammation and replenish your skin's hydration.
This is also a great time to turn your skincare into a ritual. A few drops of face oil + a cool jade roller = five minutes of peace that your skin (and nervous system) will thank you for.
5. Don’t Overlook the Small Spots
Your lips and ears are just as sensitive to the sun as the rest of your face, but are often forgotten. Use a hydrating lip oil, such as our Rose Lip Oil, to keep your lips soft, nourished, and protected. Opt for a lip balm with SPF when heading outside.
6. Make It Personal
Above all, skincare should feel like something for you, not just another item on the to-do list. Whether it’s a slow morning facial massage, misting your face mid-day, or journaling while your oil sinks in—find those small rituals that bring you back to yourself.
Summer should be about soaking it all in, not worrying about your skin. With a few mindful swaps and gentle products you can trust, you’ll be able to protect your glow, feel good in your skin, and enjoy everything this season has to offer.
Here’s to a summer full of radiance, confidence, and care 🌞
