Navigating Summer Exposures

Navigating Summer Exposures

Summer brings lots of sunshine, outdoor fun, and plenty of variables to consider — so we’re highlighting ways to support your skin and targeted essentials for warm days and outdoor evenings. Whether you’re heading to the lake, outdoor gatherings, or evening walks, we’ve gathered intentional habits and a variety of curated over-the-counter items available in-store to support your outdoor outings in the days ahead.

Daily Habits for Resilient Skin

Sunny and warm summer days have returned — and daily habits can make all the difference. These small, intentional habits may support skin that stays nourished and resilient all season long.

  • Hydrate well: Aim for 8–10 cups of water daily and enjoy hydrating foods like watermelon, cucumber, and citrus.
  • Mindful sun exposure: Mindful sun exposure supports vitamin D. Follow with shade, clothing, or sunscreen based on what works for your skin.
  • Dress for protection: Use lightweight long sleeves, wide-brimmed hats, and UV-protective sunglasses.
  • Cool down: A cool or lukewarm shower after outdoor time helps soothe skin and reduce dryness.
  • Prioritize rest: 7–8 hours of quality sleep support your skin’s natural repair processes.
