Spring-to-Summer Skin Swaps: What to Ditch and What to Keep

As we say goodbye to spring and start sweating through our shirts (hi, Cincinnati humidity 🥵), it’s time for your skincare routine to level up with the season. Just like you switch out sweaters for tanks, your skin deserves a warm-weather refresh too.

At Baby Face Skin Bar, we help our clients adjust their routines so they can glow without battling excess oil, breakouts, or dullness. Here’s our quick guide to what you should ditch, swap, and keep in your skincare lineup as we head into summer.

🧼 Ditch: Heavy Creams

💧 Swap in: Lightweight Gel-Based Moisturizers

Winter and spring may call for thick, cozy creams—but in the summer heat, they can feel suffocating. If your skin’s feeling sticky or congested, it’s time to go lighter.

✅ Try: Glymed+ Oxygen Cream or Face Reality Clearderma —lightweight, hydrating, and breathable.

✨ Ditch: Intense Exfoliation

🌿 Keep: Gentle Enzymes or AHA-based Products

Over-exfoliating in the sun = recipe for irritation and pigmentation. Instead, scale back on aggressive scrubs or high-strength acids and lean into gentler options that keep texture in check without damaging your barrier.

✅ Ask us about safe exfoliating options during your facial—we’ll tailor them to your summer skin goals.

☀️ Ditch: Skipping Sunscreen (Seriously)

🔐 Keep: SPF Every. Single. Day.

We’re not letting this one slide! Summer sun = stronger UV rays, and if you’re not reapplying SPF, your skin is aging realfast behind the scenes.

✅ Try:

🧖♀️ Keep: Professional Treatments (with Seasonal Tweaks)

Chemical peels and facials are still fair game in summer—we just adjust timing, type, and post-care. We’ll always walk you through what’s safe for sun-exposed months (and when to avoid it).

✅ Great summer-friendly treatments:

Final Word: Your Summer Routine = Less Is More ☀️

Warm weather can make skin more reactive. The goal? Keep your routine simple, supportive, and protective. If you're not sure what to change or keep—that's what we're here for.

Book a seasonal facial or skin consult and we’ll create a custom plan that keeps your skin happy all summer long.
