A Simple Skincare Routine That Works in Kailua

Introduction: Your Skin Needs Something Different in Hawaii

Living in Kailua is beautiful. But the mix of sun, salt, wind, and humidity can be rough on your skin.

At Hawaiian Islands Dermatology, we often hear:

“Why does my old routine not work here?”It’s because Hawaii’s climate is unique.

Let’s build a simple skincare routine that helps your skin stay clear, fresh, and protected—right here in Kailua.

Step 1: Clean Gently, Not Harshly

🔎 Focus Keyword: Skincare routine for Hawaii weather

Use a soft cleanser.

Skip the strong scrubs and harsh soaps.

In Hawaii’s humidity, your skin may make more oil. But scrubbing too much can dry it out.

🧼 Pick:

• Gentle, foaming cleanser for oily skin

• Cream cleanser for dry skin

Step 2: Use Lightweight Moisturizer

Even in humid air, your skin needs moisture.

Choose a lightweight lotion or gel-based moisturizer.

Look for:

• Hyaluronic acid (holds water in the skin)

• Niacinamide (calms redness and protects)

Step 3: Wear Sunscreen Every Morning

Hawaii’s sun is strong all year.

Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.

Reapply every 2 hours if you’re outside.

🌞 Good choices:

• Mineral sunscreen for sensitive skin

• Gel formulas if you don’t like the greasy feel

Step 4: Add Treatments Only If Needed

Don’t overdo it.

A few extra steps can help, but not everyone needs them.

You might add:

• Vitamin C in the morning (for dark spots or dullness)

• Retinol at night (for fine lines or acne)

If your skin feels dry, itchy, or irritated, skip these for now and talk to us.

💡 Tip: More steps do not mean better skin.
