The sun is out, the temperatures are nice, and we're all about spending our lives outdoors. There's no time to waste: for a great summer, we need a tailored beauty routine that's quick and easy, yet effective.

The PAYOT team explains how to adopt a summer beauty routine in no time!

The essentials of a simple summer beauty routine

Have you noticed that your skin changes in the summer? If you find it shinier and less comfortable, that's normal. Under the combined effect of heat and light , it reacts by thickening and increasing its sebum production . The very rich and very hydrating treatments of winter then often become counterproductive by blocking toxins and dirt, causing inflammation.

Whether you're on vacation, at the seaside, or even at the office, adapt your beauty routine by focusing on four essential products.

A multi-function micellar water

Both fresh and light. In the morning, it gently cleanses our skin for a toned wake-up. In the evening, this makeup removal ally will breathe a breath of fresh air onto our face, eliminating makeup residue and impurities accumulated during the day. If you want to boost its action, you can also opt for a toner.

A moisturizer

Light and non-greasy like My Payot Vitamin Radiance Jelly or Source Adaptogenic Moisturizing Jelly. These two boosting formulas will give your skin all the care it needs.

A solar mist

Non-greasy and non-sticky, apply in the morning and then regularly throughout the day. Please note: if you are on vacation in an area with high UV exposure, a high-protection sunscreen will be essential!

An after-sun treatment

To comfort heated skin.

Essential PAYOT gestures


No matter how much we wear sunglasses all day long, the sun makes us squint, especially if we have light-colored or generally sensitive eyes. These untimely contractions of the eyelid muscles wrinkle crow's feet and prematurely mark our skin. To counteract this, we have an unstoppable secret: PAYOT Gesture exercises!

Performed in the evening, this little exercise helps relax and tone your facial muscles while oxygenating them. Say goodbye to wrinkles and fine lines! Among the most popular, you can try the following poses:

• Big round eyes: open your eyes wide without moving your forehead or opening your mouth.

• Eyes closed: Place your fingers on your eyebrows and the tops of your cheekbones, then close your eyes and open them wide.

What if my skin needs targeted care?


Depending on its nature and age, your skin may have specific needs that warrant the application of targeted skincare. To avoid layering on skincare throughout the day, we recommend opting for nighttime skincare!

Combined with a scrub and a beauty mask to be applied once or twice a week, these treatments will reveal your full beauty potential in the blink of an eye... What's more, you have everything to gain! Indeed, the skin is more receptive to the restorative powers of treatments between midnight and 2 a.m.
