Summer is in full swing, and as much as we love the sun, it can be exceptionally harmful to our skin and bodies. It is so incredibly important to use sun protection while having fun in the sun, as we can come and regret it down the road.
In fact, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, more than 90% of the visible changes of skin aging are caused by the sun and its powerful rays. No one wants to have dark marks and skin imperfections, so here we have created a simple guide on the best summertime skin care tips anyone should follow!
1. Don't forget your lips
The skin on our lips is some of the thinnest on our bodies, and the sun can dry them out in a flash. This dry skin around your mouth can easily cause wrinkles, which are some of the first signs of visible aging. But don't be fooled, they can form at any age. To keep burning and dryness at bay make sure to apply a lip balm with an SPF every hour.
2. Use sunscreen even when you won't be outside for long
Any sun exposure is bad for your skin, so ensure you are protected at all times by making it a habit of putting on sunscreen every single day. And when you can, always choose cream sunscreen as spray sunscreen doesn't always cover you and can blow away in the wind!
3. Drink a lot of water
Because we sweat more in the summer, you need to make sure your skin stays as hydrated as possible. Many Anti-aging products also moisturize dry skin. By staying hydrated, you can use less of your precious products."
4. Pay attention to your medications
Some medications can increase your sensitivity to the sun, so double check with your doctor to see if you need to take any extra lengths in your skincare routine.
5. Invest in a refreshing face toner
Keep something like a moisturizing face refreshing toner in your cooler when you're down at the beach and you can use it to freshen up when hot. You can even invest in some with vitamin C to keep the dark marks at bay.
6. Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate
It is crucial to exfoliate the dead skin off of your face using a good quality facial scrub to ensure the smooth application of sunscreen and other skincare products! If you don't, then you risk the chance of having spotty sunburn and dull skin!
Simply follow these skincare tips and you will stay protected all summer long!
