Your Summer Skincare Routine: What to Keep, What to Ditch

June 12, 2025

Keep Your Skin Glowing All Summer Long

As summer heats up, it’s essential to give your skin some extra love to keep it balanced, glowing, and protected. At LaterzaMD Aesthetic Center, we’re here to help you pick the best treatments and products for the season. Let’s go over what you should keep in your routine and what you might want to set aside as the sun gets stronger.

What to Keep

Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen (SPF 30+)

Wearing sunscreen is a must, not just an option. Make it a habit to apply a daily broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays. It’s crucial to safeguard your skin from sun damage and help prevent premature aging.

Antioxidants (Vitamin C, Niacinamide)

These amazing ingredients work wonders to combat free radicals, enhance collagen production, and brighten your skin. They’re perfect for repairing and protecting your skin during those sunny months!

Lightweight Hydration

Try using gel-based moisturizers or those with hyaluronic acid to keep your skin hydrated without risking clogged pores.

What to Ditch

Heavy Moisturizers

In humid weather, heavy creams can feel stifling on your skin and may lead to breakouts. It’s a good idea to switch to lighter alternatives that allow your skin to breathe. This way, you can keep your complexion fresh and healthy all summer long!

Retinoids (During the Day)

If you’re using retinoids, keep in mind that they can make your skin a bit more sensitive to the sun. It’s a good idea to apply them only at night, and don’t forget to wear SPF during the day to protect your skin!

Harsh Exfoliants

It’s essential to be gentle with your skin, as over-exfoliating can significantly disrupt your skin barrier, especially when the sun is shining. Aim to exfoliate just once or twice a week for optimal results. Your skin will thank you!

Pro Tip from the Doctors:

Not seeing the results you were promised with your current skincare routine? Or maybe you’re ready to start one but feel overwhelmed by all the options available?

At LaterzaMD, we get it—and we’ve been there too. That’s why both Drs. Laterza personally use Jan Marini and Epicutis products on our own skin. These are medical-grade skincare lines we truly believe in because we’ve seen the results firsthand.

We test every product and treatment ourselves before ever offering them to our patients. When we recommend something, it’s because we trust it.
