Summer Skincare Tips for Men & Women

What's Irving Serving? Keeping Your Skin Healthy and Glowing


As the temperature rises and the sun shines brighter, it's crucial to adapt our skincare routines to protect and nourish our skin during the summer months. Whether you're a man or a woman, here are some essential tips to keep your skin healthy and glowing all summer long.

Sunscreen is Your Best Friend: One of the most important steps in summer skincare is applying sunscreen. Opt for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to shield your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Men and women alike should apply sunscreen generously 15-30 minutes before going outside, and reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating. 

Hydrate Inside and Out: Hydration is key to maintaining healthy skin in the summer heat. Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from within. Additionally, use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to lock in moisture after cleansing your face. For men, consider a moisturizer with SPF for added sun protection.

Gentle Cleansing: Sweat, sunscreen, and pollutants can build up on your skin during summer, so it's important to cleanse your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser. Women may benefit from using a cleanser suited to their skin type, such as foaming cleansers for oily skin or hydrating cleansers for dry skin. Men should opt for cleansers that remove excess oil without drying out the skin. 

Exfoliate Regularly: Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and allows your skin to better absorb moisturizers and treatments. Use a gentle exfoliating scrub or chemical exfoliant (like those containing alpha hydroxy acids) 1-2 times per week. Avoid over-exfoliating, which can lead to irritation, especially in the summer when skin may be more sensitive.

Protect Your Lips and Eyes: Don't forget about your lips and eyes, which are sensitive areas prone to sunburn. Apply a lip balm with SPF to protect your lips from UV damage. For the delicate skin around your eyes, use an eye cream with SPF or wear sunglasses with UV protection to shield your eyes and prevent wrinkles. 

Post-Sun Care: If you've spent time outdoors, treat your skin to some post-sun care. After sun exposure, soothe your skin with aloe vera gel or a moisturizer containing soothing ingredients like chamomile or cucumber. This can help reduce redness and inflammation caused by sun exposure.

Watch Your Diet: Lastly, maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and antioxidants, which can help protect your skin from sun damage and promote collagen production. Avoid excessive alcohol and caffeine, which can dehydrate your skin.

By following these simple yet effective skincare tips, both men and women can enjoy a healthy and radiant complexion throughout the summer season. Remember, consistency is key, so make these habits a part of your daily routine to reap the rewards of glowing, protected skin all summer long. Cheers to healthy skin and a fabulous summer ahead!

From Fresh Face to Booked and Busy: Start Networking Like a Pro

What's Irving Serving?  The Power of People: Why Networking Matters for New Models Starting out as a new model can feel overwhelming. You’re figuring out your portfolio, getting comfortable in front of the camera, and trying to make sense of an industry that often seems like it’s built on “who you know.” And you’re not wrong — relationships are everything in this business. But here’s the good news:  You don’t need to be famous to start building your network. You just need to be intentional. I’ve mentored a lot of new faces over the years, and I’ve seen the same truth play out every time: the models who build genuine connections — not just collect contacts — are the ones who go the distance. Here’s what I tell every new model who wants to build a strong network from day one. 1.  Be Someone People Want to Work With Before anything else, make sure your reputation is solid. That means being professional, on time, respectful, and easy to communicate with. People in this indust...

What's Irving Serving?  Rules of Wearing Statement Pieces (For Guys, Dolls, and Everyone In Between) You’ve got the statement piece. Maybe it’s a jacket that could start a conversation in five languages. Maybe it’s a necklace your grandma passed down, and it  slaps . Or maybe it’s those boots that whisper,  “I came here to conquer.”  But here’s the thing—wearing a statement piece is an art, not a free-for-all. No need for sass, just a little style wisdom from someone who wants you to look sharp without trying too hard. Let’s get into the rules. 1. One Statement at a Time, Please Your statement piece should be the star of the show—not fighting five other loud extras for screen time. Whether it’s a bold coat, graphic print pants, or a chunky chain, pick one standout. Let it speak. Don’t turn your outfit into a shouting match. Example:  Got neon sneakers? Cool. Maybe skip the printed pants and go with clean, neutral joggers instead. 2. Let the Basics Do the Heavy L...

What Is Slating?

What's Irving Serving? How to Slate for Modeling Auditions:  What is “Slating”? “Slating” is the industry term for introducing yourself in an audition, whether it’s in-person, virtual, or self-taped. When you are going out for a modeling job, acting job, or voice-over, slating is something that you would be submitting to get the job.  While it may seem like a small step, slating sets the tone for your audition and allows those watching to get a sense of your personality and professionalism.  1. It's All About Confidence! When slating, confidence is key. Do your best to stand tall, smile naturally, and look directly into the camera. You want to come across as comfortable and professional right from the start. Remember, your slate is the first thing casting directors & modeling agencies will see, so it’s important to project a positive and engaging energy. You can use your phone to take this if you do not have a camera.  2. Who Are You? Introduce Yourself: A s...
