Summer means long days in the sun, beach trips, and outdoor adventures. While it’s the season we all love, it can also be harsh on your skin. Increased UV exposure, heat, and humidity can lead to dehydration, pigmentation, and premature ageing if you’re not careful.
To help you keep your skin healthy and glowing, we’ve rounded up five common skincare mistakes to avoid this summer—and the Balense® products that will help you stay protected.
1. Skipping Sunscreen
One of the biggest mistakes people make is neglecting daily SPF. UV rays are the leading cause of fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation. Even on cloudy days, your skin is exposed to harmful rays.
Solution: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning and reapply throughout the day.
Try: UV Defiance® SPF50 Lotion—a lightweight, non-greasy formula that hydrates while protecting your skin from UVA and UVB damage.
2. Over-Exfoliating
Exfoliation is great for removing dead skin cells, but overdoing it can strip your skin’s natural barrier, leaving it irritated and prone to breakouts.
Solution: Limit exfoliation to two or three times a week and choose a gentle formula.
Try: Micro Exfoliant—a mild yet effective scrub that polishes without causing micro-tears or dryness.
3. Ignoring Hydration
Hot weather and air conditioning can dehydrate your skin, making it look dull and tired. Many people skip moisturiser in summer, thinking it will make their skin oily—but that’s a mistake.
Solution: Opt for a lightweight moisturiser that hydrates without clogging pores.
Try: Brightening Moisturiser +HAX5—packed with antioxidants and hydrating actives for a radiant, healthy glow.
4. Forgetting Post-Sun Care
After a day in the sun, your skin needs soothing and repair. Skipping this step can lead to redness, irritation, and long-term damage.
Solution: Use a calming cream to restore balance and support recovery.
Try: Recovery Cream—formulated to replenish moisture and soothe stressed skin after sun exposure.
5. Neglecting Pigmentation Prevention
Sun exposure can trigger dark spots and uneven tone. If you’re not using targeted treatments, pigmentation can become a stubborn concern.
Solution: Incorporate a brightening serum into your routine to prevent and correct discolouration.
Try: Brightening Serum Concentrate—powered by Liquorice Root Extract and advanced actives to even skin tone and boost luminosity.
