How to keep your skin looking it’s best during the summer with Foreo
Keeping your skin hydrated and glowing in the Summer starts with the essentials and learning the difference between winter and summer skincare. Obviously, we all know to use sunscreen year round, indoors and outdoors but there’s more to it than slathering on a good SPF and drinking lots of water.
What ingredients should we use on our face in Summer?
Firstly, you’ll want to avoid retinol in the Summer (save that for Winter) but there’s also other ingredients to avoid and use.
Tenley from Foreo goes into more depth on the podcast but here’s a quick summary of her recommendations.
- Use Hyaluronic acid all year round. You’ll want to use more at night than during the daytime to prevent foundation and makeup balling up or peeling off.
- Exfoliation: Use Salicylic acid and Hydroxy acids. These are particularly great for oily skin types.
- Vitamin C – for all skin types. Image Skincare does a great cruelty-free Vitamin C range for the face to brighten your skin.
Foreo Summer skin care tips
Do I need to read the labels on my skincare and beauty products?
Yes, absolutely! Firstly, to avoid harmful ingredients and secondly to make sure you support the right causes. Being conscious about our shopping choices impacts our skin and our health as well as our planet. Cruelty-free and/or sustainable, you can look good and save the world at the same time.
What’s the best moisturizer for the face in summer?
This is a moisturizer, SPF and provides tinted light coverage all in one.

What’s the best cruelty-free facial cleanser for Summer skin care?
Dr. Dennis Gross skincare Alpha Beta® Pore Perfecting Cleansing Gel. Tenley recommends this one for your summer skin care routine as a lot of peoples skin tends to be oilier during the Summer. Dr. Dennis Gross makes different products for different skin types so you can choose the right one for you.
What’s your favorite face exfoliator in the Summer?
Dr. Dennis Gross skincare Alpha Beta® Ultra Gentle Daily Peel for Sensitive Skin. I asked her this question as she likes to exfoliate year round. Whereas, because my skin is dry and thinner I only exfoliate during Winter.
What’s your number 1 Summer skin care beauty tip?
Cleansing with FOREO Luna facial cleansing device am and pm. After cleansing, start by applying your serum and let it dry and get fully absorbed before applying your moisturizer and SPF. You can even massage your serum in for better absorption using your hands or use one of the FOREO Luna’s contour massages.
FOREO Luna is a more hygienic option than a brush head version as the silicone is less likely yo collect bacteria and is easier to wash than bristles. Can you share FOREO Luna? While it’s better to have your own, because it’s so easy to clean, yes you can. Just be sure to wash it after use and before the next person uses it.
What’s the top cruelty-free Summer skin care product you’re using right now, that you can’t live without and why?
Tenley’s Favorite face mask for summer is FOREO Green tea mask | Farm to Face collection. She likes this one in particular because of how clean the ingredients are and how quick it is to use.
For me, I’m all about hydration and anti-aging ingredients. I find the best anti aging face mask to be the Foreo H20 Overdose face mask.
Do you prefer to mask in the morning or evening?
Night time so that I can let the ingredients go to work overnight.
How can we be more green with our skincare and beauty?
By looking for natural, organic and eco-friendly versions of products. You can also reuse, repurpose, recycle: and look for skincare devices that don’t have disposable parts that need replacing. Foreo Luna range reduces your impact on the environment as you don’t need to replace brush heads. They are built to last as they’re made out of silicone which converts back into inorganic, harmless ingredients!
Other products mentioned in the Summer skin care and beauty podcast
