Summer Glow-Up: Skincare Tips to Keep Your Skin Hydrated & Radiant in the Heat

The summer sun is shining, vacations are calling, and your skin deserves to glow! Not just sweat. While summer brings so many beautiful moments, the heat and humidity can also challenge your skin’s balance. Dry patches, excess oil, sun damage, and breakouts can all get in the way of your radiant summer glow.

Here at Niecey Frazier®, we believe beauty starts with healthy skin. That’s why I’m sharing some of my top skincare tips to help you stay hydrated, protected, and absolutely radiant all season long.

1️⃣ 

Hydration Starts From Within

The #1 rule for glowing skin? Stay hydrated.

Water helps flush out toxins, promotes cell turnover, and keeps your skin plump and smooth. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water per day, even more if you’re active or spending time outdoors.

Pro Tip: Add a slice of lemon or cucumber to your water for an extra refreshing boost!

2️⃣ 

Choose Lightweight Moisturizers

Your skin still needs moisture in the summer, but heavy creams can feel too thick. Swap to a gel-based or water-based moisturizer that absorbs quickly and locks in hydration without clogging pores.

Look for ingredients like:

• Hyaluronic Acid
• Aloe Vera
• Vitamin E

These will keep your skin supple and glowing in the heat.

3️⃣ 

SPF Is Non-Negotiable

If you want to preserve youthful, healthy skin, sunscreen is a must. Every. Single. Day.

Choose a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, and reapply every 2 hours if you’re outside. Don’t forget areas like your neck, ears, hands, and décolletage.

Pro Tip: Use a setting spray with SPF to refresh and protect your skin on the go.

4️⃣ 

Exfoliate (Gently)

Heat and sweat can clog pores, leading to dullness or breakouts. Help your skin breathe by exfoliating 1–2 times per week.

Opt for gentle scrubs or enzyme-based exfoliators that won’t strip your skin. You’ll reveal a smoother, brighter complexion ready to soak up that summer glow.

5️⃣ 

After-Sun TLC

Even with the best protection, your skin can get a little stressed in the sun. Soothe it at night with calming ingredients like:

• Aloe Vera
• Chamomile
• Rose Water

A hydrating mask or serum will help replenish moisture and support skin recovery.
