Glow Up This Summer: Must-Know Skincare Hacks You Need rn

Hot girl summer? Yes. Hot, irritated skin? Absolutely not. 

The sun’s out and summer’s in full swing—your skin needs serious protection and care to keep up. But glowing doesn’t mean burnt or dry, and clean doesn’t mean ignoring hand hygiene. Whether you’re festival hopping, beach bumming, or just living your best life outside, these skincare hacks will keep you fresh, flawless, and protected all summer long.

1. ✨ Clean Skin = Clear Skin

Summer means sweat, oil, sunscreen, and dirt build-up like crazy. You need a gentle, oil-free face wash that cleans without stripping your vibe. Got acne? Salicylic acid cleansers are your new BFF for keeping breakouts in check.

And don’t sleep on your hands—they’re literally touching everything. Keep a hydrating hand sanitiser handy to kill germs without the dryness.

Palmtree Hygiene’s foaming hand sanitiser is next-level—made from sustainable palm tree sap (no palm oil!), it’s gentle on your skin AND the planet. Unlike harsh, drying sanitisers, it leaves your hands soft and nourished, so you can keep your glow without compromise.

2. 🌞 Sunscreen Is Your Ultimate Summer BFF

No cap, if you’re skipping sunscreen, you’re risking serious sun damage and early ageing. SPF 30+ is a must every day—even if it’s cloudy or you’re just chilling outdoors. Pick a non-comedogenic one that won’t clog your pores or cause breakouts.

But here’s the kicker: most people don’t apply sunscreen properly. The British Association of Dermatologists says people often miss spots like ears and eyelids—danger zones for skin cancer. So don’t be lazy—slather it on evenly and generously. Need more tips? Check the NHS’s guide on sunscreen and sun safety.

3. 💦 Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

Summer skin can feel oily, but don’t skip your moisturiser. Dehydrated skin screams “oil overload” and breaks out. Opt for a lightweight gel moisturiser with hyaluronic acid to keep your skin hydrated and breathable. Spritz on a facial mist during the day—but only after clean hands, obviously!

4. 💋 Keep It Light and Fresh

Heavy foundation? Nope. Swap it out for tinted moisturiser or BB cream for a natural, dewy look. Throw on some cream blush and waterproof mascara to survive sweat and beach days. And remember: dirty tools and hands = bacteria = breakouts. Always sanitise before you touch your face!

5. 🌴 Hand Sanitiser That Actually Cares

Let’s be real—hand sanitiser is a summer essential now. But drying, rough hands? No thanks. Palmtree Hygiene’s foaming sanitiser cleans the nasty germs and keeps your hands soft thanks to its unique, sustainable palm tree sap ethanol base.

Keep one in your bag, your car, your pocket. Clean hands are always in. Check out the range at Palmtree Hygiene.
