SUMMER SKINCARE
Summer brings happiness, warmth, sunny days, pool splashes, trips to the beach and sweat. It is important to make sure you keep your skin happy while you sip lemonade under the sun.
Summers also bring longer hours of harsher sunlight accompanied with hot, dry, or humid weather depending on where you live. This can affect our skin differently than the colder and darker days of winter.
Whilst in winters we focus on moisturization, summers require hydration.
Make
sure you aren’t using moisturizer's that are cream based, or too heavy feeling. opt
for moisturizers that are gel based or water based. Apply in light layers. Also
try using a hyaluronic serum to get hydration without clogging your pores.
SUNSCREEN:
The
sunshine will burn you, so remember to religiously apply your sunscreen all
over your body, reapplying on areas exposed to sunlight, every two hours. Women
should consider opting for tinted sunscreens as it will help replace their
makeup foundation and also provide sun protection. Make sure your sunscreen is
a minimum of 30 SPF, the optimum amount is 60 SPF.
OVERSHOWERING:
Another
important step is to avoid over-showering, as this will strip your skin of its
natural oils and make it more susceptible to burning and irritation.
EXFOLIATION:
Remember,
hotter days means more oil build up and a greater need for exfoliation to clear
the build-up in your pores. So, remember to exfoliate one to two times per
week. Try opting for a chemical exfoliant as physical exfoliants may be too
harsh on your skin that has been exposed to the sun relentlessly.
WASH YOUR FACE:
Wash
your face twice a day, using a face wash with salicylic acid so it cleans your
pores properly, but not more than twice so as to avoid over drying it. Over
drying can cause more oil production as your skin tries to balance it self –
which is something you don’t want. If you feel greasy in the middle of the day,
opt for blotting sheets or tissue paper works just as well.
PRODUCTS RECOMMENDED:
Your
Facial hair also needs to be protected from the sun, so use products that will
help keep it moisturized like our beard oil. This will work on both your head
hair and your facial hair. You can also refrain from over washing your hair by
using Volym volumizing powder in between wash days to prolong those bouncy
beachy waves!
MOISTURIZING:
There
are some myths that summer don’t require moisturizing. Every season requires
moisturizing and hydration for good skin and better health. You should keep a small
moisturizer or travel kit with you everywhere in your bag to keep your skin
moisturized.
Sun
also dry out skin to prevent sunburn or dry outs we must keep our skin
moisturized and water bottle with us to stay hydrated.
Also
remember to moisturize your lips that are probably chapped from the hot
weather. Use petroleum jelly on your lips and men should keep their moustaches
protected through use of our moustache wax and beards through our beard oil.
Everyone should also use the beard oil on their nails to ensure their cuticles
and nails don’t get dry and brittle and snap off in the summer heat and under
the harsh sun.
