Summer Skincare Guide: How To Protect And Repair Your Skin
When the sun starts shining in Portland, your skin starts working overtime. From increased UV exposure to sweat, sunscreen buildup, and dehydration, summer can take a serious toll on your glow.
That’s why we created this no-fluff, expert-backed summer skincare guide—so you can keep your complexion protected, radiant, and ruled by beauty all season long.
☀️ Why Summer Skin Needs Special Attention
Longer days and higher temps can trigger everything from sunspots to breakouts. UV damage accelerates aging, while sweat and SPF can clog your pores. The solution? A smart routine paired with seasonal treatments that do the heavy lifting.
🧴 Sunscreen: Your Summer Non-Negotiable
Daily SPF is the cornerstone of summer skin care. Look for broad-spectrum SPF 30+ with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
💡 Pro Tip from Beauty Rule: Use a setting spray or powder SPF for easy reapplication—especially if you're wearing makeup.
💧 Keep Your Skin Hydrated + Happy
Hydration is everything in summer. Incorporate:
Hyaluronic acid serums
Water-based moisturizers
Hydrating facials like our Hydrafacials at Beauty Rule
HydraFacials at Beauty Rule flush out congestion from sunscreen, sweat, and pollution while infusing your skin with antioxidant-packed serums that restore your glow.
✨ Seasonal Treatments That Repair and Protect
Even with your best efforts, summer skin needs support. Here are our top professional picks at Beauty Rule:
1. LED Light Therapy
Boosts collagen, calms redness, and reduces breakouts—perfect after sun exposure.
