Beach days, pool parties, lounging with friends — summer is finally here! But don’t let the excitement of the season catch your skin unprepared. Get ready to be your best beautiful self all summer long with these expert tips.
When it comes to summer skin care, dermatologists stress transitioning your skin-care routine to accommodate for the hot months. As your closet leans toward linens and sheer cottons, let your skin care follow suit. Switch out your thicker and more hydrating products for more lightweight, non-greasy options that are better suited for the summer weather.
A must-have for every facial routine during this season is a good Vitamin C serum. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and also brightens dull skin.Taking the additional step of layering a few drops on your face between cleansing and moisturizing every morning will go a long way towards maintaining beautiful skin.
Don’t forget to give your eye area some extra help as well. Summer sunshine is harsh on the delicate region. Stay ahead of under eye lines and wrinkles with a targeted eye treatment and, of course, an obsessive use of cute sunglasses!
The most important, fundamental, don't-leave-home-without-it tip is the importance of investing in a good sunscreen. Experts recommend choosing broad spectrum sunscreens of SPF 30 or higher for all exposed skin. Reapply every couple of hours so, make sure to pack extra for longer summer days outdoors.
