5 Summer Skincare Mistakes You Didn’t Know You Were Making
Share
You’re drinking water, wearing SPF, and keeping your face clean — so why does your skin still feel off in the summer?
The truth is, even skincare lovers can make a few unintentional mistakes during hot and humid months. The combination of heat, sweat, sunscreen, and air conditioning can throw your skin completely off balance.
Here are five common summer skincare mistakes — and how to fix them for a season of fresh, glowing, and happy skin.
1️⃣ Over-Cleansing (Yes, Too Much Can Hurt!)
We get it — sweat and sunscreen can make you want to wash your face three times a day. But over-cleansing can strip your skin of natural oils, leading to dryness, irritation, or even more oil production.
Instead, use a gentle, skin-barrier-friendly cleanser like lanijam’s cleansing balm — it removes buildup without being harsh.
2️⃣ Skipping Moisturizer Because It’s “Too Hot”
Many skip moisturizer in the summer thinking their skin doesn't need it — especially in humidity. But hydration is different from oil, and your skin still needs balance.
Try lanijam’s lightweight gel moisturizer — breathable, non-greasy, and perfect for hot weather hydration.
3️⃣ Not Reapplying SPF
Sunscreen isn’t a one-and-done step. If you’re outside for more than 2 hours (especially if sweating or swimming), you need to reapply. Skipping this step is a fast track to sun damage.
✨ Pro tip: Use a mist or stick-type SPF for easy reapplication without messing up your makeup.
4️⃣ Using Heavy Products That Clog Pores
Thick creams, heavy oils, and occlusive formulas can trap heat and sweat — leading to congestion and breakouts.
In the summer, reach for breathable serums like lanijam’s hyaluronic acid serum — hydrating yet light-as-air.
5️⃣ Ignoring Post-Sun Care
Even with SPF, your skin is still exposed to heat and UV stress. Many forget to calm and repair their skin afterward, which can lead to long-term damage.
lanijam’s soothing recovery cream is designed for post-sun repair — calming redness, restoring moisture, and protecting your glow.
🌿 The Takeaway
Summer skincare isn’t just about sun protection — it’s about balance. Hydration without heaviness. Cleansing without stripping. Protecting and repairing.
Avoiding these five simple mistakes can help your skin stay calm, clear, and radiant — even on the hottest days.
