Top Five Skin Care Tips For The Summer!

Summer time means more outside activities and warm weather. The fun in the sun can be very damaging to the skin. Extra care needs to be given to prevent this damage from occurring. Taking into account that most of us use sunscreen regularly during this time, it is also essential to add a few more necessities to our skin care regimen to prevent dry skin.

Tip #1 – Drink More Water

With the multiple activities planned during the summer months, the amount of water you drink might be neglected. Keep a filled container of water with you at all times and drink it throughout the day. Flavored waters and sports drinks will also help to renew the lost nutrients and fluids that can damage and dry the skin. 

Tip #2 – More Sunscreen

‘

Many think that applying sunscreen to the skin once will protect them through the day. Sunscreen needs to be reapplied every four hours to be effective against the sun’s UV rays. The higher the SPF levels in the sunscreen the better as this will give more protection from the sun.

Tip #3 – Moisturizer More

Dryness causes the skin to be red, itchy, and irritated. It also causes lines and wrinkles to be more prominent. To look your best in the summertime, add a moisturizer that contains Vitamin C. The Vitamin C will remove free radicals from the skin, repairs past damage, and helps to hydrate it better. The moisturizer / sunscreen combination products will also add a barrier of sun protection. Exfoliate the skin more during this time to remove dead skin to have fresh looking skin.

Tip #4 – Stop To Eat

Being on the go means we might not take time to eat properly. The body needs certain nutrients to replenish the skin with collagen. Foods like green leaf vegetables, berries, fruit, and fish contain protein and other nutrients that will keep the skin hydrated and at its best. When your body lacks the food it needs, it will begin to run down and lack energy to renew itself and repair damage.

Tip #5- Less Is Better
