Summer is finally here, and as we gear up for swimsuits and sandals, let's not forget to get our skin summer-ready too! While SPF is definitely a hero, there’s more to prepping our skin for the upcoming season of holiday getaways, skin-baring outfits, and sunny days and breezy nights. With summer comes a few skin challenges like sun damage, clogged pores, excess oil, and those harmful UV rays – everything we don’t want.
So if you're dreaming of enhancing your complexion and achieving glowing skin this summer, you're in the right place. We've gathered the best advice to help you transform dull skin into a radiant, dewy complexion. Say goodbye to heavy foundation and hello to glowing skin and compliments!
Here are some top tips to help you get your best skin this summer:
Switch It Up
Firstly, opt for lighter formulas. When the weather warms up, heavy creams can feel like a bit too much, leaving your skin feeling more greasy than glowy. So, swap out those thick creams for lightweight, oil-free moisturisers that won't clog your pores. Or, look for serums or hydrating gels instead of creams – they'll give your skin the hydration it needs without that heavy feeling.
Use the Right Cleanser
Gentle cleansers are usually best, but if you notice more buildup during the summer (from sunscreen, sweat, and increased oil production), switch to a foaming or gel cleanser for a deeper clean that won't dehydrate your skin.
Nourish From Within
Good skin starts from within, so add some behind-the-scenes goodness with Dewty Daily Collagen. Collagen is a game-changer for smoother, more radiant skin - just check out these results if you don’t believe us!

Our powerful Dewty Daily Collagen formula contains a whopping 6.4g of high-grade collagen, as well as Vitamin C to help stimulate your body’s natural production of collagen, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines in just four weeks. Did we mention it also contains hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture? A daily dose of our collagen can plump out your skin, giving it that glowing and dewy look we associate with summer. Plus, it will keep your hair and nails healthy and help with any sun damage, too!
Drink More Water
Hydration is key to glowing skin. The heat and a more active lifestyle can lead to dehydration, so increase your water intake to keep your skin happy and to stay healthy and energised for all your summertime activities. Your body's organs, including your skin, need hydration to function at their best. The more water you drink, the easier it will be to keep your skin from feeling dry and flaky. So bottoms up!
Skip Retinol Before Sun Exposure
Planning to head to the beach? Dial down the use of active serums. Avoid using retinol or retinoids beforehand, as these products make your skin more susceptible to sun damage. It's also wise to skip chemical exfoliants in this case, too.
Use Sun Protection
Summer means sun. But you can’t have fun in the sun without the right protection. Don't neglect SPF - apply daily sunscreen liberally to any and all exposed areas and reapply at least every two hours, even on cloudy days. Yep, you may not be able to see the sun, but it’s still strong enough to get through.
Hydrate with Hyaluronic Acid
If your skin is dehydrated, add a serum or other product that contains hyaluronic acid. This powerful ingredient attracts and seals in moisture, keeping your skin plump and hydrated through any heatwave. Did you know our Dewty Daily Collagen includes hyaluronic acid for an added hydration boost from within?
Exfoliate Regularly
Exfoliation is a great way to resurface and rejuvenate the skin, helping you to say bye-bye to dull, dry skin. Whether it's your face or body, a good scrub can work wonders for summer skin radiance. Gentle chemical exfoliation tends to be more effective and less damaging than harsh physical exfoliants. Look for products containing salicylic acid, which has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
Load Up on Vitamin C
Vitamin C brightens, smooths, and firms skin over time, making it a powerhouse ingredient for anti-ageing. Keep it on hand during the summer to prevent and resolve hyperpigmentation from sun exposure.
