While the summer season brings hotter temperatures and sunnier weather, the downside is for many, hay fever sharply follows. Although hay fever itself is a medical condition, all that itching, sneezing and irritation can take a toll on your skin – particularly around the eyes. If that's you, keep reading as we share our advice for looking after skin affected by the symptoms of hay fever.
As travel restrictions begin to ease and temperatures rise, many of us are jetting off to tropical beaches and sunny resorts all over the world. So, to help you decide which skincare to pack and how best to look after your skin while on your summer holiday, we've broken down our advice for each step of your routine.
Cleansers
Cleansing is more important than ever whilst on holiday. Over the course of a day, your skin will experience a build-up of sebum (oil), sweat, SPF and general grime from being in the sea/pool. Many of us also cleanse our skin more frequently whilst on holiday (e.g., in the morning, before dinner and before bed).
As you will be washing your face more often, choose a gentle formula to use in the morning and before dinner – milky cleansers are a great choice that won’t strip your skin. You can then reserve your double cleanse for your PM routine to remove any makeup and SPF. Use an oil cleanser as your first cleanse (as this will be lighter and may be more comfortable than a balm in the heat) and your usual cleanser as your second.
As the temperature heats up, the warmer weather and humidity can cause changes in your skin. Regardless of your skin type, here are some pointers to keep your skin happy in warmer climates.
Make sure you double cleanse in the evening. Increased sweat and SPF use will mean one cleanse isn’t enough. Use a balm or oil first and follow with a gel or cream. Or, you can use a single cleanser twice.
Regardless of your skin type, lightweight moisturisers, such as gel, can help to reduce that greasy feel you may find from a thicker cream.

You may have heard of Caroline. She’s known as “the most influential woman in beauty”. She’s spent 25 years in beauty, so it’s safe to say she knows a thing or two about skin. Caroline believes the future of beauty relies on science and education.
We all have stuff going on with our skin. ‘THAT is’ normal’. The weather, health, allergies, age, hormonal changes – it's all sent to challenge our skin. But here’s the good news: know what you need to know, use what you need to use and your skin will thank you.
