But sun and heat cause stress to the delicate and often already compromised capillaries in the face so it's just as important to protect the skin's barrier in the summer as in the winter. It's a good idea for everyone to keep their skin protected but for folks out there with sensitive, sensitized or Rosacea skin types it's even more crucial.

Summer skin care tips:
- Use a moisturizer with an SPF of at least 30 but 50 is ideal. And make sure to reapply often - about every hour if you're going to be out in the sun all day or in and out of water.
- Wear a hat!
- Use a hydrating mask at least once a week to make sure you're maintaining the water content of your skin. Dermalogica's Skin Hydrating Masque is an amazing drink of water for your skin
- Go easy on the exfoliation, try using a serum that contains lactic acid which gently exfoliates but also hydrates like Dermalogica's Renewal Booster.
