As the seasons change so does our clothing, our holiday destinations, our sporting events and most importantly, so should our skincare. The five Summer skincare must-haves for your routine are: Sunscreen, The Cleansing Pad, an Antioxidant, an Exfoliant and boosting with an Ingestible.
1. Sunscreen
Sunscreen Is a non-negotiable skincare product. SPF is the biggest defense your skin can have against UVA and UVB damage. This damage is what causes premature ageing, sunburn, free radical damage and in worst cases, skin cancer. It’s important that you follow the products usage guide as reapplication of the product provides you with the best protection.
What is the difference between Physical and Chemical Sunscreen?
Physical or MIneral sunscreens are types of sunscreen that form a physical barrier on the surface of the skin, reflecting the suns rays away from the skin. Mineral sunscreens often consist of active ingredients such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. These ingredients make this product ideal for acne prone, oily, and sensitive skins.
Chemical sunscreens work the opposite to physical. Rather then reflecting the sun's rays, chemical sunscreen uses ingredients to absorb the rays, turn the rays into heat and then release it back out through the skin. Chemical sunscreens are generally more light weight making them a great option for everyday wear.
The Clinic's curated range of sunscreens are chosen for their high SPF, non comedogenic formulas (meaning they won't clog pores) and added antioxidants to benefit your skin. Why not multi purpose?! SPF Moisturisers are a great everyday addition coming into Summer as a lighter-weight moisturiser combined with SPF.

2. The Cleansing Pad

3. Add an Antioxidant
By introducing an antioxidant serum, you are providing the skin with a defense mechanism against free radical damage and oxidative stress. This will help prevent the signs of pre-mature ageing and reduce the appearance of sun damage. Particulary beneficial for Summer is Vitamin C, for its brightening and calming capabilities. Vitamin C also increases and supports collagen production.

4. Don't forget to Exfoliate!
Exfoliation should be occurring throughout every season but it’s particularly important in Summer to help remove the build up of dead skin cells and products from the skin. By exfoliating the skin, it will help to reveal brighter looking skin while reducing the appearance of visible pores and impurities.
