Summer is all about sunshine, outdoor adventures, and soaking up the season—but all that fun can also take a toll on your skin. From increased sun exposure and heat to sweat and dehydration, your skin needs extra TLC to stay fresh, balanced, and radiant.
Whether you're beach-bound or just running errands under the sun, here’s your complete guide to summer skincare that keeps it simple, effective, and natural.

💧 1. Hydration Is Everything

When temperatures rise, your skin loses moisture faster than you think. Replenishing it from the inside out is essential.

Quick Tip: Drink lots of water throughout the day, and reach for a skin-quenching topical like aloe vera gel to restore balance.

🌞 2. Don’t Skip the Sunscreen

UV rays can damage your skin in as little as 15 minutes—even on cloudy days. Think wrinkles, sun spots, and increased risk of skin issues. No thanks!

Quick Tip: Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 (or higher) every day, and reapply every two hours if you’re out in the sun.

🧼 3. Cleanse Gently (But Regularly)

Sweat, sunscreen, and outdoor dirt? Not a great combo. Keeping your skin clean is essential—but harsh scrubbing is a no-go.

Quick Tip: Use a gentle cleanser morning and night to wash away impurities without stripping your skin’s natural oils.

🌿 4. Mist, Soothe & Refresh On-the-Go

Hot days can make skin feel tight, itchy, or flushed. Enter your summer skin savior: a refreshing facial mist.

Try this: Dr. Willard’s Topical Spray – infused with calming ingredients to soothe redness, hydrate instantly, and cool your skin with just a quick spritz. 

Pro Move: Keep it in your bag and mist anytime you need a little refresh (especially after sun exposure!).

💄 5. Go Light on Makeup

Heavy makeup + heat = clogged pores and discomfort. Let your natural summer glow take the spotlight.

Quick Tip: Opt for a tinted moisturizer with SPF, cream blush, and a moisturizing lip balm for an effortless, breathable finish.

❄️ 6. Chill Your Skincare

Yes, literally. Keeping products like aloe gel or mists in the fridge gives you a cooling, spa-like treatment after sun exposure. So satisfying—and soothing!

🌙 7. Repair & Nourish Overnight

Nighttime is when your skin does most of its healing. Help it out with deeply hydrating, calming products that lock in moisture and reverse daytime stress.

Quick Tip: Apply Dr. Willard’s Aloe Gel before bed for a calming nighttime ritual your skin will love.
