How to prepare my skin before summer?

The most wonderful time of the year just started! Who doesn’t look forward to summer, vacations, diving and who doesn’t dream of a “perfectly tanned body”?

It may still be May, but summer is fast approaching and it’s time to start thinking of ways to properly prepare our skin to look radiant throughout our holidays.

Although it is something that has been said several times, it is good to remember that skin care is an important thing for everyone, especially now that the temperature started to raise. During summer months, our skin is affected by the sun’s UV rays and high temperatures, resulting in our face and body becoming dehydrated, dry and dull, and fine wrinkles are very likely to appear. Something we don’t want!

So that’s why it’s not too late to start preparing, since now is the right time!

Body Exfoliation

We’ve all heard that exfoliation is good for us. It helps to remove the dead skin cells from our skin, thus allowing our skin to look brighter and healthier. We recommend “The Exfoliating Body Gel Wash”, an innovative and gentle exfoliating body gel, with Jojoba Esters as the main ingredient. Once applied, the skin becomes softer and brighter due to the Jojoba Wax Beads that dissolve naturally and effortlessly, without scratching the skin.

Moisturize now!

Moisturizing the face is a must! Use your favorite moisturizer every morning and evening. Don’t forget to add a facial oil/ serum to your beauty routine to boost hydration. A proper balance of moisturizing ingredients for our skin will provide effective and instant hydration all summer long.

Don’t forget about body hydration too

Just like our face, our body also needs the necessary care. After a nice and refreshing shower, start using a moisturizing product for your body. Don’t forget that properly moisturized skin tans faster, while intensive hydration of the skin helps to prolong the tan. We suggest you try “The Firming Body Oil”, a unique silky body oil that tones the skin and helps it maintain its elasticity and firmness.

Attention to waxing

This is definitely the time of year, when we are interested in a waxed and velvety skin, as waxing is at the top of our list in the summer. Therefore, after waxing, make sure not to expose the newly waxed skin to the sun for at least 48 hours to avoid any irritation.

Increase the amount of suncream you use

During the summer months we need much more suncream than we usually use. Yoy can try The Skin Loving Suncream, a non-sticky and non-greasy suncream with a thin texture and SPF 50. It’s truly invisible on the skin and won’t stop you from continuing your normal routine! You can use it both on your face and your body. Make sure to refresh your suncream application every two hours!

One more thing!

Don’t neglect to consume plenty of water daily and generally food that hydrate and detoxify the skin!
