11 Summer Beauty Secrets from the Experts

3 Tips for Summer Skin

Feel the Burn

To soothe sunburned skin, heat a cup of regular oatmeal with one-half cup whole milk until cooked. Let cool and apply to burned skin. The oatmeal soothes and the milk acts as a gentle exfoliant to remove dead cells, says Skyy Hadley, owner of As U Wish Nail Spa in Hoboken, New Jersey.

Lighten Up on Lotion

On really hot days, use a hydrating toner instead of moisturizer -- it will keep your skin balanced but won't feel heavy or greasy, says Olga Lorencin-Northrup, cofounder and aesthetician at Kinara Spa in Los Angeles.

Clear Your Complexion

If you've got a recurring breakout on your chin, hydrogen peroxide in whitening toothpaste could be the culprit. Switch to regular toothpaste pronto, says Fredric Brandt, MD, a dermatologist in New York City and Miami.
