Quench Your Skin: 6 Summer Beauty Tips

Save your skin from dryness, flaking, and looking tired. Youthful-looking and well-hydrated summer skin is just a swipe of moisturizer away.

Don’t be surprised if your skin seems to be drier than usual--not only is it common in this warm weather, with the heat making your skin's moisture evaporate faster than usual, it’s also a sign of aging skin. To keep moisture levels high and skin supple, try these tactics:

Shop for skincare the way you do for fragrance: Try it on, then walk around for 10 minutes to see if it satisfies your needs before making a purchase.
Steer clear of mattifying creams if you have dry skin; only those who are particularly oily during summertime can still benefit from these.
Instead of using parching face powder, mix a few drops of foundation with your moisturizer for a flawless glow.
Beef up your skincare regimen with a treatment that boosts moisture. Try Garnier's Light Milky Lightening Dew Toner, P169.
Moisturize generously before bedtime, especially if you sleep with air conditioning.
Mist your face with water and apply moisturizer mid-afternoon for a moisture fix.

24. Moisturize generously before bedtime, especially if you sleep with air conditioning. - this is true, I've been doing that for 11 years.

13. I'm loving water-based moisturizers lately, it doesn't feel greasy. I'll try number 3 one time, I'm just hesitant in trying out liquid foundations.
