Summer in Riverside brings sunshine, pool parties, and plenty of reasons to show off your radiant skin. But the California sun can also be harsh, leading to dryness, sun damage, and unwanted breakouts. Don't let the heat get the best of your glow! Here at Beauty by Bokhari, we're here to help you navigate summer with a skincare routine that keeps your skin healthy, hydrated, and camera-ready.

Sunscreen is Non-Negotiable:

This one's a no-brainer. Riverside summers are known for their intensity, so finding a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher is crucial. Apply generously and reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating. Here at Beauty by Bokhari, we carry a curated selection of sunscreens recommended by Cosmopolitan and other leading beauty publications. We can help you find the perfect formula for your skin type, whether it's lightweight and oil-free, or hydrating and moisturizing.

Lighten Up Your Routine:

Summer is the time to ditch the heavy creams and serums. Opt for lightweight, water-based moisturizers and gels to keep your skin hydrated without clogging pores. Look for products with hyaluronic acid, which attracts and retains moisture, leaving you with a dewy, healthy glow.

Exfoliate Regularly:

Sweat and dead skin cells can build up on your face during the summer months, leading to dullness and breakouts. Exfoliate your skin 1-2 times a week with a gentle exfoliating scrub or chemical exfoliant to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. This will help your skin better absorb your skincare products and maintain a healthy, radiant appearance.

Don't Forget Your Lips:

Sunburns aren't just for your face! Protect your lips with an SPF lip balm to prevent dryness and cracking.
