Want your skin to look healthy and radiant throughout the summer season? The summer months can really take their toll on your complexion, but the right skincare products can help to turn this around.
Here are 9 products from Bionyx to add to your summer skincare routine:
1) The Rhodium Mousse Cleanser
With sebum production increasing during the summer months, along with the fact that people tend to spend more time outdoors, a good cleanser is absolutely essential. Without this, all of that extra sebum and dirt will end up piling up in your pores. This will cause blockages, enlarged pores, and acne breakouts.
However, finding a cleanser that’s suitable for the summer months can be tricky. You need a formula that will tackle all of those extra impurities without being so strong that it damages your skin barrier…and that’s where the Bionyx Rhodium Mousse Cleanser comes in.
Mousse cleansers are perfect for a summer skincare routine. The lush lather that they create ensures that all traces of dirt and grease are removed from the skin. However, unlike foaming cleansers, they don’t strip away the skin barrier. Instead, mousse cleansers are known for being wonderfully moisturizing. This formula enhances that with its infusion of amino acids, which leave the skin feeling stronger.
2) The Rhodium Facial Toner
Many experts would agree that toners are very underrated skincare products. This is partly down to the bad rep that toners have earned over the years. The very first toner formulas contained high amounts of alcohol to dry up the excess sebum produced by oily skin. Unfortunately, these formulas only ended up damaging the skin in the long run.
The good news is that the toners of today are very different. The Bionyx Rhodium Facial Toner, for example, is an alcohol-free formula. This means that it won’t leave your skin feeling overly dry or uncomfortably tight.
Instead, this toner focuses on hydrating and balancing the complexion, both of which are crucial in the summer months. With sodium hyaluronate and glycerin, it will immediately quench and plump up the look of your skin. Meanwhile, niacinamide will work to even out your skin tone while strengthening the feel of your skin barrier, and colloidal platinum will give your skin an extra glow!
3) The Rhodium Complex Facial Peeling
Due to how the skin can feel greasier and dirtier in the summer months, meaning that clogged pores become more prevalent, people often switch to a more potent exfoliator once the warm weather begins to arrive. This is understandable since the skin usually needs more exfoliation in the summer than in the winter.
While that may be the case, let’s not forget that sun damage is a much bigger problem in the summer. Exfoliating your skin leaves it temporarily more vulnerable to UV damage, so suddenly switching to a stronger exfoliator can often do more harm than good.
The solution is to find yourself a gentle formula, just like the Rhodium Complex Facial Peeling from Bionyx. This exfoliator can be used year-round and can be tailored to the summer months by adjusting how often you exfoliate. Try adding in an extra exfoliation session each week and you’ll find that your skin looks bright and clear, even without using a potent acid-based exfoliator.
4) The BioLift Platinum Deep Wrinkle Concentrate
The sun can really take its toll on the skin in the summer, affecting the complexion in multiple ways. Each small amount of sun damage your skin experiences accumulates, resulting in wrinkles, dark spots, sagging skin, and even skin cancer. It is said that up to 80% of the visible signs of aging are down to sun exposure.
It goes without saying that the best way to put a stop to this is to protect your skin from the sun. An SPF 30 sunscreen should be a part of your skincare routine year-round, not just in the summer. However, even with this, you won’t be able to completely prevent sun damage, meaning that your skincare routine should also be geared toward repairing the appearance of the sun damage that arises in the summer.
This is where the Bionyx BioLift Platinum Deep Wrinkle Concentrate shines. It focuses on diminishing the appearance of wrinkles with the use of powerful antioxidants. You’ll find vitamins A, C, and E in this serum – three of the best antioxidants around. They’ll work to smooth and tighten the look of creased skin while also helping to tackle the visibility of dark spots and discoloration.
5) The Rhodium Intensive Eye Serum
With the sun being so much stronger in the summer, people tend to squint more when they’re outdoors. Sure, sunglasses will help to prevent this but there will be times when you don’t have them on, meaning that squinting is usually inevitable.
Sadly, the more you squint your eyes, the more you exacerbate the crow’s feet and other eye wrinkles. The creases that form when you make a certain facial expression are known as expression lines. When you’re young, these disappear when your facial muscles relax. However, as you age, they start to stick around, resulting in wrinkles. This occurs all over the face but with the skin around the eyes being thinner, this is usually the first area where wrinkles are seen.
What can you do about this? Add the Bionyx Rhodium Intensive Eye Serum to your summer skincare routine. It’s filled with ingredients that will leave your eye area looking smoother and firmer, including apple fiber, aloe vera, reishi mushroom, and chrysanthemum extracts.
6) The Rhodium Essential Day Cream
A good moisturizer is an essential part of any skincare routine at all times of the year. However, it’s always a good idea to switch up your moisturizer as the seasons change. In the winter, your skin would benefit from a thicker formula to counter the increase in moisture loss due to dry air. In the summer, with humidity causing an increase in sebum production, a lighter moisturizer is better.
For this, we would recommend turning to the Bionyx Rhodium Essential Day Cream. It’s wonderfully lightweight, so much so that it feels as though it instantly sinks into the skin, deeply saturating it with moisture.
This moisturizer also contains antioxidants to keep your skin feeling protected against environmental damage. Top it off with a sunscreen and your skin will feel safe and shielded all summer!
7) The Platinum Transformative Thermal Mask
Let’s be honest – the extra sebum that the skin produces in the summer months can be downright annoying, especially if you already have naturally oily skin. While using a good cleanser and exfoliating a little more often can help with this, it’s often not enough.
This is why many experts recommend adding a clay face mask to a summer skincare routine. Clay is renowned for how it absorbs excess sebum from the skin, immediately leaving the skin looking matte yet bright. While that may be the case, some clay masks can be overly drying. You don’t want to be dealing with this in the summer when your skin already faces dehydration from the sun.
This is where the Bionyx Platinum Transformative Thermal Mask comes in. This clay mask contains a blend of hydrating ingredients to keep your skin quenched while the clay works its magic. Meanwhile, its roster of antioxidant-rich botanicals, including coffee, lemon, and sweet almond, will leave your skin looking rejuvenated and ready to face another hot summer’s day.
8) The Rhodium Wrinkle Plumping Syringe
We’ve already talked about how the sun is responsible for a large number of the wrinkles that people develop as they age. These often worsen in the summer months when UV rays increase the damage they wreak. It doesn’t help that the sun dehydrates the skin, making wrinkles look deeper and more pronounced.
We’ve already shared a few skincare products that will help you to soften the appearance of wrinkles. However, they take some time to work – you’ll need to give them at least a few weeks.
Can’t wait that long? Then turn your attention to the Bionyx Rhodium Wrinkle Plumping Syringe. This product produces visible results in just seconds! Apply it directly to any creases on your face and they’ll immediately look softer and barely noticeable. These effects are down to a carefully selected blend of fast-acting ingredients. At the same time, this solution also boasts a number of vitamins and antioxidants that will help to eradicate the look of your wrinkles in the long run too. It’s a win-win!
9) The Bionyx Salt Scrub
It’s not just the skin on the face that produces more oil in the summer months. The skin on the body experiences this too. Combined with the high heat and humidity that summer brings, along with the extra sweating that people do, it’s hardly surprising that the pores on the body easily become clogged too. This causes body acne breakouts, which are much more common in the summer.
What can you do about this? Follow the same skincare advice as you would for facial acne. Keep your body clean and regularly exfoliate it. Ideally, use a physical exfoliator since the skin on the body is much tougher and thicker than the skin on the face.
The Bionyx Salt Scrub is perfect for this. It exfoliates with sea salt, a natural ingredient that’s packed with skin-loving minerals. Many believe that sea salt can also help to soothe and diminish the appearance of acne breakouts, although there isn’t yet any scientific evidence to back this up. Nevertheless, add this body scrub to your summer skincare routine and you’ll be able to keep the skin on your body looking smooth, polished, and bikini-ready!
