The High Summer Clearing Routine

The no-brainer routine I'm giving my clients with stressed out summer skin.

Like clockwork, every year around this time I start getting panicked texts from clients. Their pores are clogged, their skin is red and stressed out, and they’re trying everything to make it better with no success.

The problem is that “trying everything” often makes the problem worse. When you’re dealing with congestion and stressed skin, less is truly more. So I suggest paring back with this simple routine instead:

AM
Clean Clean Cleanser — a gentle hydrating cleanser that removes any sweat or dirt that appeared overnight without stripping skin.
Mandelic Clearing Serum - a daily exfoliator that sloughs off dead skin cells and buildup.
Skin Jelly - an oil-free moisturizer that stays light on your skin for hot days and layers well under SPF.
Screentime SPF30 - a hydrating, acne-safe SPF that won’t break you out.

MIDDAY
Spritz Fridge to Face to help reduce redness and defend against blemishes. Re-apply SPF.

PM
Micellar Pads - remove dirt, oil, and makeup.
Mandelic Clearing Serum - exfoliate one more time before bed.
Reset Benzoyl Peroxide Treatment - sub this for Mandelic twice a week — it helps dry out breakouts and help prevent future blemishes from flourishing.
Skin Jelly - lightweight moisture to protect your barrier.

When in doubt, keep it simple.
