Beat the Heat This Summer by Caring for Your Skin
We all know that the summer heat is no joke! The last thing any of us want to do on a hot day is put on a heavy cream or anything that’ll add to our already shiny skin (thanks sweat!!). But that doesn’t mean we should compromise the importance of keeping our skin moisturized and hydrated. In this blog post, I’m going to review some important tips for giving your skin the care it needs in the hot summer months and my favorite skincare products to help you beat the heat!!!
Skincare Tips:
Keep your skin clean! Make sure to remove makeup & cleanse thoroughly after the day is through.
Stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water is essential to keeping your skin happy and healthy!
Wear moisturizer. Yes, even on the hottest days. And ESPECIALLY when you’re in the sun. If you do not give your skin the proper hydration, it will combat dryness by producing extra oil, and we all know what that means… OILY SKIN! Make sure to keep a good balance!
Wear sunscreen! I know this isn’t something you want to hear. We’ve all been guilty of chasing that golden tan in the summer! But the truth is, the sun can do long term damage as well as severely dry your skin out so make sure you wear SPF to protect it.
Take extra care of your skin at night. Try using a heavier moisturizer to repair the day’s damage while you sleep. Who cares if you’re shiny while you get your beauty rest, your skin will thank you!
