Warmer weather is finally here, and while we’re all about sunshine and longer days, summer can also do a number on your skin. Between the sweat, sunscreen, and extra time outside, it’s not uncommon to experience clogged pores or surprise breakouts, even if your skin is usually pretty clear.

The good news? You don’t need to overhaul your routine totally. Small, smart changes can help keep your skin calm and clear all summer.

1. Lighten Up Your Moisturizer

What worked in the winter might feel way too heavy once the temps start rising. Instead of thick creams, switch to a lighter option that still delivers hydration without clogging your pores.

One to try: Liposomal Hyaluronic Peptide Serum: This serum is lightweight but hydrating. It uses liposomal technology to help your skin soak it in, plus it gives your skin hydration without any greasy feel.

2. Be Picky About Sunscreen

Daily SPF is a must, no exceptions. But not all sunscreens play nicely with your skin, especially if you’re breakout-prone. Go for a non-comedogenic, mineral-based formula with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to help protect your skin without clogging it.

Pro tip: Layer it over a brightening antioxidant serum like Liposomal Vitamin C 20% Serum. It helps even out your skin tone and gives you an extra layer of protection against sun damage, pollution, and other environmental stressors.

3. Cleanse (Gently) Like You Mean It

Sweat, sunscreen, and city air can pile up fast, so cleansing thoroughly is a must. That said, you don’t want to strip your skin barrier. Stick with a gentle cleanser, and if you wear makeup or heavy SPF, consider a double cleanse in the evening. Looking ahead, Ebanel cleansers will be available in the future—stay tuned!

4. Hydration Still Matters

Even if your skin feels oilier in the summer, you still need hydration, especially with sun exposure. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and aloe are perfect for keeping your skin balanced and happy.

Quick hydration hack: Dab on a few drops of Liposomal Hyaluronic Peptide Serum before sunscreen in the morning and again before bed. It locks in moisture and gives your skin a dewy, healthy look.

5. Exfoliate the Right Way

It’s tempting to scrub away every little bump when it’s hot out, but overexfoliating can backfire and make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Stick to gentle chemical exfoliants once or twice a week.

Keep it gentle: Ultimate Brightening Peeling Gel is a great pick. It sloughs off dead skin without any harsh rubbing, so your skin feels fresh and smooth, not irritated.

Getting your skin summer-ready doesn’t mean a complicated routine or a drawer full of new products. Focus on lightweight hydration, sun protection, and barrier-friendly ingredients that won’t clog your pores
