As Refinery 29 reports, according to skin-care expert Renée Rouleau, “the [summer] season is embraced as a time to relax and be carefree, but it’s also a time where damage to the skin is at its worst thanks to the increased exposure to the sun and its harmful UVA/UVB rays.” Beyond that, you might experience increased acne on your face and around your body due to excess oil and clogged pores. Or on the flip side, long days in the summer sun can leave your skin feeling dry and irritated. And to add insult to injury, the time of year when we can do the most damage to our skin is also when it is hottest outside, so we’re forced to flaunt more skin just to feel comfortable and look appropriate.
