Summer-fy your skin hydration.
Keeping your skin hydrated is important, but with Atlanta’s summer humidity, you should steer clear of thick creams or lotions that can clog pores and leave skin feeling weighed down. “Warmer temperatures can stimulate our skin to naturally produce more oil, so you may notice your favorite wintertime moisturizer suddenly feels ‘greasy’ or like it’s sitting on the skin,” says Ryan Christopher, esthetician, Beauty By Ryan in Sandy Springs. “And that’s simply because heavier moisturizers use oils to form a barrier on the skin, while lightweight moisturizers rely more on water content.” These light products will help keep your face and body hydrated during summer’s sweltering days.

Glossier Full Orbit ($28)
Heavy eye creams seem great for smoothing fatigue lines and crow’s feet, but they can cause undereye breakouts and even milia. Plus, the sting of putting thick eye creams on your eyelids? No thanks!
