The experts from SkinCeuticals are here to help get your skin ready for summer.

Summer is upon us. We’re all looking forward to some fun in the sun, but is your skin ready? The rise in temperatures and humidity levels may leave you longing for lighter skin care textures, and SkinCeuticals has the warm-weather essentials you need to keep your skin healthy all summer long. We’ll bring you up to speed on the six essentials that will help keep your skin feeling healthy and protected this season, including:

• Vitamin C serum

• Brightening daily moisturizer

• Lightweight hydrator

• Daily sunscreen

• Lip treatment

• Soothing face mask

1. Vitamin C serum

Just a few drops of SkinCeuticals antioxidant serum a day can help keep fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration and even acne away (depending on the formula you choose). Formulated with synergistic combinations of potent antioxidants for optimal protection against free radicals generated by UV rays, pollution, infrared radiation and lifestyle factors, these serums feature 10% to 15% L-ascorbic acid (the purest form of vitamin C) and are designed to address specific skin concerns. Choose the award-winning SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic to target fine lines and wrinkles, SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF for discoloration and uneven skin tone or SkinCeuticals Silymarin CF for oily or acne-prone skin.

2. Brightening daily moisturizer

With a lightweight gel-cream texture, SkinCeuticals Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment is an oil-free multitasking daily moisturizer is your summer skin savior. Its unique combination of azelaic acid, alpha arbutin and a phyto botanical blend works to visibly reduce excess oil and redness, smooth skin texture and minimize the appearance of pores while brightening your overall complexion. Plus, it’s ideal for all skin types—including sensitive—and all skin tones.

3. Lightweight hydrator

Give your skin all the hydration with SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel. Packed with hyaluronic acid for maximum moisture and vitamin B5 to reinforce the skin’s barrier, consider this your secret for smooth, radiant summer skin. Whether used on its own for oily or acne-prone skin, or layered beneath a moisturizer for skin that needs extra hydration, it provides essential moisture for all skin types without clogging pores. "This is one of the best summer hydrators out there," says board-certified dermatologist and LovelySkin CEO Dr. Joel Schlessinger. "My patients love it and Nancy, my wife, uses it daily in the summer."

4. Broad-spectrum sunscreen

Summer is synonymous with sunscreen. Daily protection against damaging UV rays is essential, so why not choose a lightweight, residue-free sunscreen that works double-duty as a treatment for uneven skin tone, such as SkinCeuticals Daily Brightening UV Defense Sunscreen SPF 30? This innovative formula serves up oxybenzone- and octinoxate-free chemical-based broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection. It also provides all-day hydration, an instant radiance boost and a reduction in visible discoloration thanks to a gentle yet potent blend of tranexamic acid, niacinamide and phenylethyl resorcinol.

5. Antioxidant lip treatment

Thin, delicate skin on the lips is especially prone to damage, and a lip balm with sun protection isn’t enough to shield this area from all environmental aggressors. SkinCeuticals Antioxidant Lip Repair is a pocket-sized lip treatment will hydrate, smooth and soften, but the real power is in the antioxidant blend of silymarin and vitamin E that offers protection against free radicals that contribute to visible signs of aging around the lip area.

6. Treatment mask

Chlorine, salt water and sun exposure can leave skin feeling irritated or more sensitive than usual. Formulated with a high concentration of botanically derived ingredients (including cucumber, thyme and olive extracts), a calming dipeptide and hydrating hyaluronic acid, this SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Mask cools skin on contact, reduces visible redness and helps comfort skin. Ideal for soothing sunburns, you can also store it in the refrigerator for extra skin-cooling benefits.
