Soft, glowing skin and an even tan – that's the ultimate summer dream. Yet as the temperatures rise and the sun leaves its mark on our skin, many wonder: Can I use a salt scrub in summer without ruining my tan? Or will exfoliating lead to skin irritation and a quicker loss of color?
At MONLIS Studio, we explain: with the right technique and proper products, salt scrubbing can be a highly beneficial part of your summer skincare routine.
Why Exfoliation Remains Essential in Summer
During summer, our skin faces greater stress from sun exposure, heat, and saltwater. UV rays dry out the skin, while sea and pool water can cause additional irritation. At the same time, the skin’s natural renewal process slows down. Without regular exfoliation, skin quickly appears dull, rough, and patchy.
A gentle salt scrub removes dead skin cells, boosts blood circulation, and enhances the absorption of moisturizing products. Surprisingly, regular, properly performed exfoliation can even prolong the life of your tan by making your skin look healthier and more even.
When and How to Use a Salt Scrub in Summer
Timing and technique are critical. You should avoid exfoliating immediately after sunbathing, as the skin is more sensitive due to UV exposure. Ideally, use a salt scrub on days without intense sun exposure or in the evening when the skin has had time to recover.
Choose gentle, finely milled salt scrubs and massage them onto the skin with soft, circular movements, avoiding harsh rubbing. Pay special attention to sun-exposed areas like shoulders, décolleté, and legs, where the skin tends to be more sensitive. After scrubbing, it's crucial to apply a rich moisturizer containing soothing ingredients such as aloe vera or panthenol.
Protection and Care After Scrubbing
After exfoliating, the skin is more vulnerable to UV rays. Therefore, it’s important to avoid direct sunlight for at least 24 hours and to apply a high-SPF sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher).
At MONLIS Studio, we recommend maintaining a balanced skincare routine: exfoliate gently one to two times per week to support healthy, radiant skin without compromising your tan.
