What works for your skin in winter might turn into a makeup meltdown in summer. As temperatures rise, your skin behaves differently—and so should your foundation. That creamy, full-coverage formula you loved in January? It could be clogging your pores, sliding off your face, or leaving you feeling weighed down.
Here’s why a seasonal foundation switch is a total game-changer for your skin and your summer glow.
1. Your Skin Produces More Oil in Summer
Hot weather ramps up oil production, especially in your T-zone. This means rich or heavy foundations can mix with sweat and sebum, leading to patchiness, clogged pores, and that dreaded “melty” look.
A better option: The Matte Compact Foundation is designed to give you a breathable, shine-free finish while still letting your skin breathe. It absorbs excess oil without drying you out.
2. Sweat Happens—So Your Foundation Needs Staying Power
Even if you’re not spending hours in the sun, humidity and heat can make your makeup budge. Lightweight, long-wearing formulas are key to staying fresh.
Try: The Glow Compact Foundation for a radiant finish that won’t slide off your face. It offers buildable coverage and skincare benefits without clogging your pores.
3. You May Need a Different Shade
Sun exposure (even with SPF) can subtly change your skin tone. If your go-to shade starts looking a bit off, it’s time to retake the Colour Match Quiz and find a closer summer match.
Bonus: Lava Art’s risk-free match system makes it easy to get the right shade without the guesswork.
4. Summer Skin Loves Breathability
In warm weather, your skin craves lighter layers. Heavy makeup can trap sweat and oil, leading to breakouts or dullness.
Lava Art’s cushion foundations feel like a second skin. They give you that flawless base without suffocating your pores. Pair them with the Perfect Light Facial Cream for a smooth, hydrated canvas that lasts.
5. Touch-Ups Are a Given—Make It Easy
Summer makeup isn’t about perfection—it’s about flexibility. Cushion compacts are ideal for on-the-go touch-ups without needing a full makeup bag. A few taps with the Perfect Blender and you’re good to go.
Final Thoughts
Your skin changes with the seasons—and your makeup should, too. Swapping your winter foundation for a lighter, breathable option helps your skin stay clear, your base stay flawless, and your routine feel effortless.
