Skincare in Summer – What Men Should Keep in Mind | EDO

For many, summer is a long-awaited season filled with light, warmth, and time spent outdoors. But for your skin, it can also be a challenge.

Sun, heat, sweat, and high humidity affect both the skin on your face and underneath your beard. That’s why your skincare routine needs to be adjusted for the season.

Here’s EDO’s guide to summer skincare for men, focusing on what your skin actually needs during the warmer months.

Cleanse More – But Gently

In summer, your skin produces more sebum and you sweat more frequently. This can lead to clogged pores, breakouts, and imbalance if not properly cleansed.

But avoid overcompensating with harsh products. Instead, use a gentle, pH-balanced facial cleanser that removes dirt and sweat without drying out your skin.

EDO Gentle Cleanser is made exactly for this: a mild cleanser that works year-round, but truly shines during the summer.

Hydrate even When It’s Hot

Many believe skin doesn’t need moisture in the heat, but in reality, sun and saltwater dry out your skin faster than cold weather does.

Use a lightweight, fast-absorbing facial moisturizer with hydrating ingredients like glycerin, oat oil, or vitamin E. Avoid heavy creams that might clog your pores.

Don’t Forget the Skin Under Your Beard

Beards in warm weather can be a real challenge. Sweat builds up more easily, the skin can get irritated, and itchiness is common—especially if you shave irregularly or have a thick beard.

A natural beard oil isn’t just for the beard it’s crucial for the skin underneath. The right oil moisturizes, soothes, and prevents itchiness and flaking.

Do Men Need Sunscreen?

Yes. Always. Even if you don’t burn, your skin is still exposed to harmful UV rays that break down collagen, damage cells, and accelerate aging.

A facial moisturizer with SPF or a dedicated sunscreen for your face should be part of your summer routine—especially if you spend a lot of time outdoors.
