Over-Exfoliating

While exfoliation is good for removing dead skin cells, don't overdo it in the summer. Limit exfoliation to 1-2 times per week to avoid irritating or damaging your skin, which can be more sensitive in the sun.

Neglecting Hydration

Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Use a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer to prevent dryness without clogging pores.

Ignoring Lip Care

Lips can easily get sunburned and chapped in the summer. Use a lip balm with SPF protection and reapply throughout the day.

Forgetting Hats & Sunglasses

Protect your face and eyes from UV rays with a wide-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses. This not only shields your skin but also prevents squinting, which can lead to wrinkles.

Hot Showers

While a hot shower might feel relaxing, it can strip your skin of essential oils. Opt for lukewarm water and avoid long, steamy showers to prevent dryness.

Sleeping With Makeup 

Sweat and oil can mix with makeup, clogging pores and leading to breakouts. Always remove makeup before bedtime to allow your skin to breathe and regenerate overnight.
