As the temperatures rise, days become longer. This comes with more sun exposure, which means your skin requires a new set of tools.

He offers the following tips to help rejuvenate your skin and leave you with a fresh face:
1. Double cleansing – Washing your face once might not remove all the dirt and unwanted oils. So, remember to use a deep-cleansing toner afterwards.
2. Never leave home without sunscreen – We all love spending time in the sun, so make sure to apply sunscreen daily to protect your skin from sun damage.
3. Change your moisturizer – Because the air is dry in winter, we require extra moisture. But as it heats up, a rich moisturizer can cause acne. So, turn to gel-based moisturizers.

4. Reassess your make-up – We all react to products differently, so pay attention to how your skin responds to the foundation you use. If it looks as if your skin is becoming oily, change to a mattifying product.
5. Stay hydrated – Not only will your skin love you for it, so will your body! Drinking a lot of water can help to improve your skin’s elasticity and boost your immune system.
