Because your face shouldn’t feel like a burnt pancake
Let’s talk about something nobody wants to admit, but everybody deals with—summer skin. Everett, I know y’all love soaking up every ounce of sun once it shows its face (finally), but here’s the thing: while you’re out here grilling burgers and pretending you know how to paddleboard, your skin is straight-up fighting for its life.
You know it’s bad when your forehead’s glossier than a glazed donut, and your nose is peeling like you tried to wax it with scotch tape. It’s not cute, it’s not healthy, and it sure as heck ain’t part of the “glow-up” people talk about on TikTok. That’s why ProForm Beauty Supply in Everett is stepping in with the ultimate summer skincare essentials to save you from looking like a crispy, dehydrated marshmallow.
Let’s break down what your skin actually needs to survive summer without cracking, frying, or straight-up giving up.
The Great Summer Skin Struggle
Let’s get real. Summer skincare isn’t optional—it’s survival. You’ve got UV rays attacking from above, sweat sneaking out from every pore, and don’t even get me started on the oily zone formerly known as your T-zone.
Here’s what happens when you ignore your skincare in summer:
-
Breakouts: Because your pores are basically holding a rave
-
Dry patches: Like your cheeks forgot it’s not December
-
Sun damage: Wrinkles, spots, and the “I thought it was just a light tan” lies
-
General regret: Looking in the mirror and thinking “why is my chin doing this?”
Let’s not do that this year, alright? Let’s actually treat our skin like it belongs to someone we love—and not like it’s the backup plan when everything else falls apart.
Step 1: Clean That Face, Everett
We gotta start with the basics. Cleansing is non-negotiable in the summer, especially if you’re living that SPF + iced coffee + sweat + "I forgot to take my makeup off last night" life.
You need a good cleanser that:
-
Strips away dirt, oil, and regret without making your skin feel like sandpaper
-
Keeps breakouts at bay
-
Works for your specific skin type (oily, dry, combo, full-on chaos)
ProForm Pick:
Check out our ProForm Gentle Gel Cleanser—it’s tough on grime, gentle on your face, and it won’t leave your skin screaming for moisturizer five seconds later.
Step 2: Exfoliate... But Don’t Go Full Lumberjack
Exfoliating is key, but let’s be clear—this is not an Olympic sport. If you’re scrubbing your face like you’re trying to remove car paint, you’re doing it wrong. Twice a week, tops. More than that and your skin’s gonna clap back.
Why exfoliate?
-
Sloughs off dead skin (so you don’t look dull and flaky)
-
Helps your serums and moisturizers actually get in there and do their job
-
Prevents clogged pores that lead to those “surprise” zits
ProForm Pick:
Grab our Exfoliating Enzyme Scrub—it’s like giving your face a fresh start without the trauma.
Step 3: Hydration—It’s Not Just for Your Water Bottle
If you think skipping moisturizer in summer because “I’m already oily” makes sense, please sit down. You need hydration, not extra grease. A solid, lightweight moisturizer tells your skin, “Hey, it’s okay. We’re good. No need to produce enough oil to fry chicken.”
What to look for:
-
Lightweight and non-comedogenic
-
Absorbs fast (we’re not trying to wait 3 hours before going outside)
-
Plays well with your SPF
ProForm Pick:
Our HydraBalance Daily Moisturizer keeps your skin juicy but never greasy—like the perfect slice of watermelon for your face.
Step 4: Sunscreen... Or Prepare to Age Like a Leather Wallet
You knew it was coming. SPF is the holy grail of skincare, and if you’re skipping it, you might as well be tanning with a magnifying glass.
Let’s clear up the excuses:
-
“It’s cloudy.” Doesn’t matter. UV still gets through.
-
“I’m not outside that much.” Lies. The sun finds you.
-
“It makes me break out.” That’s because you’re using trash SPF.
What you need:
-
Broad spectrum SPF 30+
-
Lightweight and non-pore-clogging
-
Bonus if it smells nice and doesn’t feel like house paint
ProForm Pick:
Snag our Daily Defense SPF 50 Moisturizer. It works double duty and won’t melt off when you break a sweat chasing your kid across a park.
Step 5: Treatments, Because You’re Fancy Now
Want to go above and beyond? Of course you do. You’re in your “I take care of myself” era. Add in:
-
Vitamin C serum in the morning (brightens, fights dark spots)
-
Hyaluronic acid if you’re dehydrated (spoiler: you probably are)
-
Niacinamide if you’re oily and shiny in the forehead department
ProForm Pick:
Our Glow Getter Skin Serum is the triple-threat: hydrates, brightens, and tells your pores to chill.
Step 6: Don’t Forget the Extras
It’s not just about the face—summer skincare is a full-body operation.
Lips:
Chapped lips in summer? Unacceptable.
Try our Lip Rescue Balm with SPF. Soft lips, no crust.
Body:
You’ve been wearing shorts. Your legs deserve love.
Get our Body Polish Scrub and thank us later.
After Sun:
Burned? Sizzled? Emotionally regretful?
Soothe the disaster with our After Sun Cooling Gel—like aloe’s cooler cousin who shows up with snacks and a good playlist.
