Summer Skin Essentials
Sunscreen
At least SPF 15 if not higher. Ensure your sunscreen has helioplex and protects against UVA and UVB rays.
Daily Moisturizer
If you're indoors most of the day, you can forgo the sunscreen for a daily, light-weight moisturizer with SPF.
Night Cream/ Moisturizer
For use at night. This should be lighter-weight for summer and vitamin-rich.
Acne Treatment
For any blemishes or pimples. Many of these can overdry skin, so if your skin is sensitive use sparingly.
Facial Cleanser
Use a gentle cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup. Choose a cleanser appropriate for your skin type.
Exfoliating Scrub
Use a scrub two to three times a week to exfoliate dead skin cells and refresh your complexion. If your skin is sensitive, chose a gentle exfoliater.
Masque Treatment
Do you want a cucumber peel, a hydrating mud masque or a citrus clarifying treatment? It depends on your skin type and what you're looking for. Use a masque just once a week though...any more and you may ;over-dry ;or irritate your skin.
Hydrate your body
Slather on lotion both before bed and in the am after showering. If you're going outside, mix in some sunscreen for protection.
Make-Up
Use hypo-allergenic cover up and foundation with SPF.
Apply lip balm with an SPF, and keep lips moisturized all day.
Apply a light, oil-absorbing dusting powder
This will keep skin shine-free and won't clog pores.
Nutrition for Healthy Skin
Hydrate your cells
Drink lots of water throughout the day.
Eat lots of fresh veggies and fruits
Chock-full of both vitamins and water, fresh produce will hydrate you and your skin.
Chow down on lean protein
Protein from egg whites, poultry, fish and lean red meats are the building blocks of healthy skin and hair.
Summer Skin Maintenance Tips
Rinse off the day! Wash your face thoroughly every night before bed.
Exercise
Cardio is a great skin clarifier, and will leave you rosy-cheeked and glowing for hours after.
Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize
This is one of the most important factors for keeping skin healthy and soft.
It isn't necessary to wash your face in the morning after waking up
But if you feel the need, use a gentle cream cleanser or foam.
Treat Skin according to skin type
Do you have dry, oily, or combination skin? Buy the products matching your skin's description.
Soothe sunburned skin with aloe vera
Buy the gel or get it direct from an aloe vera plant - just squeeze the gel from the leaves.
Don't be cheap with cosmetics
Spending a few more dollars on a well-known brand is worth it. Skimping on price is ok when it comes to beach flip-flops...not your skin!
