Alright, Redmond. Let’s address the shiny, overly dewy elephant in the room: summer skin. Yes, that glorious season when your pores open up like they’re hosting a BBQ, your T-zone becomes an oil slick with ambitions, and SPF becomes less of a suggestion and more of a “do this or pay with wrinkles” kind of situation.
Welcome to ProForm Beauty Supply’s official Redmond summer skincare glow-up guide—a.k.a., “How to survive the sun without looking like a melted popsicle.”
Because here’s the deal: Summer in Redmond is beautiful. It's also hot, humid (but like passive-aggressively humid), and your skin? It knows. And it’s reacting in creative ways.
So whether you're spending your days hiking the trails, strolling the farmer’s markets, or just trying not to sweat through your dignity, we’ve got everything you need to glow this summer—without turning into a hot, sticky, pore-clogged mess.
Why Summer Skincare in Redmond Matters
Let’s not pretend we’re all just born with that “effortless glow.” Most of us are 48 hours away from looking like a burnt tortilla if we forget sunscreen. Add to that the increased UV exposure, dehydration, sunburn risk, AND that one friend who’s always suggesting a beach day—your skin’s got a full-time job just surviving.
In Redmond, where nature and tech collide in one gloriously overcaffeinated city, your skincare routine needs to work overtime. It’s gotta protect, hydrate, and make you look like you didn’t spend the last six hours in traffic on I-405.
The Glow-Up Arsenal: Must-Have Skincare Products at ProForm Beauty Supply
1. Lightweight SPF: The Shield Between You and Premature Aging
I get it. Sunscreen isn’t sexy. But you know what is sexy? Not looking like a raisin by the time you hit 40. SPF is non-negotiable.
Look for:
-
Broad spectrum protection (UVA + UVB = complete defense)
-
Lightweight formulas that don’t feel like mayonnaise on your face
-
Added antioxidants (bonus points!)
ProForm Pick:
Grab our fast-absorbing, matte-finish SPF 50—perfect under makeup, sweat-proof, and doesn’t give you that greasy, haunted look in selfies.
2. Gel-Based Moisturizers: Hydration Without the Weight
You know that feeling when you apply your winter moisturizer in July and your face goes, “Nope”? That’s because your skin doesn’t need a parka in summer—it needs a breeze.
Why it works:
-
Keeps skin hydrated without clogging pores
-
Absorbs quickly
-
Leaves you looking dewy, not damp
ProForm Pick:
Our aloe-infused gel moisturizer cools on contact and hydrates like your skin just discovered kombucha.
3. Exfoliants: Because Dead Skin Isn’t a Look
Let’s be honest: your skin cells have been clinging on for too long. Exfoliation helps clear out the old, crusty drama and makes way for that summer glow. But gentle, people. This is exfoliation, not demolition.
Choose from:
-
Chemical exfoliants like AHAs and BHAs for smoother skin
-
Enzyme peels if you're fancy and like saying “papaya extract”
-
Gentle scrubs (not the ones that feel like broken glass)
ProForm Pick:
Our dual-action exfoliant combines glycolic acid with soothing botanicals—so you get smooth skin without needing to apologize to your face afterward.
4. Face Mists: Because You’re Not a Cactus
Hydration is key, especially when you’re out there pretending to enjoy sunshine while secretly longing for AC. A refreshing face mist can be your best friend—it cools, hydrates, and gives you an excuse to dramatically spritz yourself mid-conversation.
ProForm Pick:
We carry rosewater and cucumber-based face mists that smell amazing and don’t leave a sticky residue. Bonus: they fit in your bag and make you look like you totally have your life together.
5. Oil-Free Cleansers: Goodbye, Gunk
The combo of sweat, sunscreen, pollution, and your own questionable life choices? It’s all sitting on your face by 5 PM. A good oil-free cleanser is like hitting the reset button.
What to look for:
-
Non-stripping formula
-
Balances your skin’s pH
-
Doesn’t leave you squeaky (dry = bad)
ProForm Pick:
Our gentle foam cleanser gets rid of impurities without turning your skin into a chalkboard.
Summer Skincare Tips from the Redmond Glow-Up Committee (A.K.A. Us)
-
Apply SPF every 2 hours. No, seriously. The sun doesn’t care that you already put it on this morning.
-
Drink water. Yes, this is a skincare tip. Hydration = glow. Plus, you’ll feel smug.
-
Wear a hat. Bonus points if it’s wide-brimmed and makes you feel like a celebrity avoiding the paparazzi.
-
Don't sleep in makeup. We shouldn't still be saying this in 2025 but here we are.
-
Mask once a week. Hydrating, clarifying, or soothing—pick your potion and go full spa mode.
