Summer has arrived, but have you begun adjusting to a summer skincare routine? As the seasons change, you should be aware of the ways your skincare routine needs to change right along with it. I was recently joined by Licensed Esthetician and Beauty Advisor Melody Sopa for a Self-Care Sunday broadcast, where we shared tips on how you can shift your skincare for the warmer months.
You may want to set aside chemical exfoliants for the Summer and instead use physical exfoliants. With the increase in sun exposure, chemical exfoliants can cause skin sensitivity.
Switch out your chemical exfoliant with the Lumière de Vie Volcanic Exfoliating Mask
• Formulated to detoxify, enhance skin’s glow, and dramatically improve tone and radiance.
• Contains PerfectionPeptide P3™, Pumice, Allantoin, Sweet Almond Oil, Olive Fruit Oil, Sodium PCA, and Oat
Use 1-2 times a week. Apply a thin layer to your face, let dry, wet your fingertips, and exfoliate in little circular motions (give some extra love to your oily areas if you have any, this is usually the t-zone).
Vitamin C is an ideal ingredient to use in the summertime, because that's when our skin is exposed to the most UV light—and therefore, more free radicals.
Add the Lumière de Vie Brightening C-Serum to your summer regimen.
• Delivers a healthy dose of Vitamin C to the skin to help brighten and give a youthful-looking complexion. Other skin-loving ingredients help to maintain skins elasticity while moisturizing and smoothing skin for a soft-to-the touch feel.
• Contains 10% of Ascorbic Acid
For best results apply 3-5 drops to freshly cleansed and dry face, décolletage and the back of hands; use morning or night. Allow to dry fully before adding additional products (remember to apply skincare products thinnest to thickest).
It is recommended to add this serum into your regimen slowly, starting with once a day or every other day depending on your skin sensitivity.
As the heat turns up, and you find yourself reaching for lighter weight clothing the same theory applies to your moisturizers. Switch out your heavy cremes for a lightweight moisturizer or a gel.
The Lumière de Vie Matte Moisturizer is a great option!
• Helps to hydrate skin while balancing shine, even out skin tone while giving the skin a radiant appearance and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Instantly absorbing into skin to deliver smooth, fresh texture, the skin is left feeling supple and firm and excess oil is controlled. It also nourishes skin for a flawless finish and works as a primer to prep skin pre-makeup!
• Contains the popular ingredient: Bakuchiol, a multi-functional anti-aging ingredient that promotes healthy collagen and elastin in the skin and helps protect the skin from oxidative stress. Bakuchiol may also help support normal skin barrier function to keep the skin hydrated, soothe the skin, and promote healthy, normal sebum production for a healthy-looking complexion
Apply morning and evening to freshly cleansed skin. Gently massage a generous amount on face and jawline, using light upward motions. For an extra boost of hydration, add in a dropper of our new Hydrate x 3.
Take your hydration to the next level with Lumière de Vie® Hydrate x 3. Formulated with 3% hyaluronic acid in three molecular weights — low, medium and high — to provide comprehensive hydration to three levels of the skin for long-lasting moisture retention, inside and out. This innovative penetration method plumps the skin with moisture, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while promoting elasticity, leaving the skin soothed, supple and smooth to the touch. This super-lightweight, refreshing serum absorbs quickly, so you can effortlessly layer on your favorite moisturizer for the ultimate hydration boost.
Apply one full dropper of serum, morning and night, onto damp, cleansed face and décolletage
You may find yourself wanting to wear lighter makeup in the summer. Choose makeup that is not only light but is infused with nourishing skincare ingredients.
Try the Lumière de Vie Lumi-Sticks!
• They condition and hydrate while adding gorgeous, subtle color to your skin.
• For the perfect no makeup, makeup look. Apply and blend. For the final touch, add a little concealer and mascara.
• They are multipurpose; use them on your eyes, cheeks, lips, and body.

Don't forget your SPF!

For each body part, you need TWO strips of sunscreen squeezed out onto the index and middle fingers from the palmar crease to the fingertips. (body parts ex. Face, neck and ears; one arm; upper torso; lower torso; upper left leg; lower left leg etc.)
Taking care of your skin post-sun exposure is just as important as protecting your skin pre-sun.
