You know what absolutely cracks me up about summer? My skin acting like it’s suddenly royalty the minute it gets hot out.
Winter? My skin’s low-key, barely needs me. But summer? Oh, I’m on duty - sunscreen patrol, aloe dispenser, and official ice-cube distributor for my own face.
Seriously, I swear I become my skin’s unpaid summer intern. Slathering on SPF every couple hours, rubbing in aloe like I’m prepping for a spa day, dabbing on powder so I don’t blind people with my shiny nose. The whole routine is wild.
And, oh man, the breakouts. One week I’m dewy and fresh, the next my forehead’s got more bumps than a gravel road. Thanks to sunscreen clogging up everything and humidity just… existing.
Let’s not forget about my “tan.” I don’t get that smooth, sun-kissed look. Nope. I get random patches - like I fell asleep under a tree and woke up with a map on my back.
Then, of course, the peeling kicks in. My shoulders shed so much, I practically leave a trail behind.
But hey, let’s be honest - summer skincare isn’t glamorous. I’m sticky, shiny, and sometimes smell like a coconut with regrets. So, after plenty of mistakes (and a couple sunburns I’d rather forget), here’s my friendly advice:
Wear the sunscreen. Seriously - get a new bottle, not that old relic from years ago. And actually reapply it!
Double cleanse at night, even if you’re about to pass out. Sweat, sunscreen, smog - just get it all off.
Drink water like you’re training for a hydration contest. Your skin will thank you, promise.
Don’t chase the “perfect” tan. Wrinkles and sun spots are not a vibe, trust me.
Aloe is pure magic - keep it in the fridge and slap it on whenever you need a little rescue.
Bottom line: sure, summer selfies are cute, but future you will be high-fiving present you for taking care of your skin. Sun-kissed looks adorable—sun-damaged, not so much. Stay glowy, not crispy!
