If this season's blemish-highlighting sun rays make you want to hide, check out this sweat-proof regimen with summer skincare for oily skin and beyond.


1) Cleanse – Double down on your cleansing. Start with CleanRefresh™ Foaming Oil Cleanser for double cleansing to break down sunscreen, sweat, and make-up. Drier skin types can repeat with this cleanser for a second cleanse, while a sulfate-free natural face cleanser for oily skin will suit shiny, combination skin types.

Pro tip: Remember to include your face and neck!


2) Tone – Follow with our Hydrating Toner to complete the cleanse and boost your skin's moisture levels. Summer heat and activities can trigger redness, irritation, and breakouts. Keep our SpaTeen® Blemished Skin Toner and RS2 Gentle Lotion (Toner) on hand to stay clear and calm all summer long. If you have other skin concerns, shop our range of alcohol-free toners to care for your skin’s unique needs.


3) Exfoliate – Exfoliate twice weekly to clear away dulling and pore-clogging dead skin cells. Our Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser is safe for all skin types and concerns, including redness and irritation. But if you get blackheads and breakouts, our Clear-Control Exfoliator with Salicylic Acid from our ProCorrective® Line is the cleanser your skin needs.


4) Hydrate – Drink water and eat water-rich fruits and vegetables while watching dehydrating drinks with caffeine and alcohol to preserve hydration from within. With the heat and humidity, choose a lighter-weight moisturizing cream, like our Balancing Combination Skin Cream, that ”knows” how much moisture your skin needs and where! For skin craving extra moisture or dewiness, apply our Hyaluronic Acid Hydra Serum before your moisturizer and spritz the face with Hyaluronic Acid HydraMist™ mist afterward (and anytime throughout the day when skin feels parched!)


5) Protect – Use “C” Complexe with Oxyzomes concentrate for more free radical defense and layer with ocean and reef safe Hydrating Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40 - on repeat. That is, reapply every two hours – as sunscreen is not a “one-and-done” product, requiring reapplication to stay protected.


6) Un-makeup – Ditch full coverage heavy foundation for a sheer tinted moisturizer. Extra oily skin can enjoy a streamlined routine with our multi-tasking YouthRenew™ Tinted Cream for confident fun in the sun, while drier skin needs to follow our moisturizing tips above.


7) Body – Even if you use Pevonia’s skin-friendly sunscreen, be sure to shower off after sun, pool, and beach time. This quick step will remove sunscreen, sweat, and oil, readying your skin for after-sun care products. Apply our After Sun Soothing Gel to sun-exposed areas to halt the avalanche of sun damage-triggering enzymes that break down vital skin components. Follow with our fast-absorbing, lightweight summer skin body lotion formulas — the Preserve Body Moisturizer or Lumafirm® Body Moisturizer - Firm & Glow — for smooth, taut-looking, glowing skin without stickiness.


8) Diet – Further limit redness and irritation from sun exposure with anti-inflammatory foods that can help decrease the sun’s impact on your skin from within your body. This doesn’t mean you can skip sunscreen if you eat right, but choosing these foods can promote faster repair. Incorporate Omega-3s from healthy fats from eggs, fish, flaxseed, and walnuts, antioxidant-rich veggies. Fruits and vegetables, like berries, tomatoes, and leafy greens, contain protective antioxidant vitamins that can provide added defense against damaging UV rays. Sip green or black tea and snack on nuts for an added dose of antioxidants.
