As we dive into summer your skincare routine might need a little mix-up. This season is for kicking back, taking that vacation, & enjoy being outside. However, keep in mind your skin needs protection, especially this time of year! The sun is always strong in Arizona but this time of year it is crucial to wear that SPF and moisturizer. Whether you have dry or oily skin, you want to keep your skin care routine light. The thicker creams you were using in the winter won’t really do much now. During the summer it is important to let your skin breathe. Below are some tips and treatments for face and body that we recommend for this hot summer:
1.) Exfoliate 2-3 times weekly
Get rid of that dryness by exfoliating regularly. This is also great for product absorption, your serums and moisturizers will go on smoother. As you start exfoliating you will notice your skin improving and looking more hydrated and radiant.
2.) Hydrate
In order to glow from the outside, water is necessary. You’ll probably hear your esthetician say “drink plenty of water” and that is because it increases your results and nourishes the skin. Drinking eight glasses of water a day will rid the body of toxins and hydrate your skin. Water intake will not only show a visible difference in hydration, but it can prevent wrinkles, as well.
3.) Cool off with a Mist
Refresh throughout the day with a hydrating and anti-aging toner. Be cautious when choosing a toner, you’ll want to find one that contains antioxidants for anti-aging and doesn’t dry out the skin. A great tip is to put a small bottle of mist in your purse and spray it throughout the day to keep you feeling hydrated and refreshed! Our Cucumber Mist is perfectly matched to keep your skin refreshed in the hot summer!
4.) Antioxidants
In the summer time it is important to amp up using products with antioxidants. A serum and toner are great products to keep away the free radicals and prevent aging. Our Green Tea Serum is especially beneficial to use in the summertime, it can heal sunburns and keeps away the free radical damage (i.e: air pollutants, smoke, pesticides)
5.) Body Glow
Let’s not forget to exfoliate your body to achieve that summer glow. Also remember to load up on a hydrating cream! Another great way to get that body glowing is by taking cool showers. It is also a beneficial way to improve and prevent body acne. Taking cool showers tightens the skin and prevents the pores from getting clogged.
These summer skin-care tips will have you feeling and looking radiant! We want you to feel more confident than ever this summer and these are great ways to get your skin ready for the next season.
