It’s that time of the year again, where living is easy. However much the season may seem enjoyable, the season’s harsh sun will be beaming down on your skin. When going to the beach, sunscreen is an obvious choice. However, it is easy to forget when it comes to running errands. Here are some tips to keep your skin vibrant regardless of the season.
1. Exfoliate twice a week
Dead cells will sit on the skin surface, giving you a dry, rough and dull appearance. By exfoliating, you will be getting rid of these dead cells; thus enabling you to look radiant and healthy throughout summer. Exfoliating will also allow your skin to regenerate much easily, which will keep aging at bay. Remember to choose a gentle and natural exfoliating agent.
2. Keep off tanning beds
You have probably heard of the looming claims that tanning beds are likely to lead to cancer. The natural sun is way safer than tanning beds. If you want to attain the summer skin color, consider going for relatively safer options such as self-tanning lotions and towels. Ensure you check the ingredients label to make sure that the base formulation is not toxic.
3. Keep your skin moisturized
In summer you are likely to avoid moisturizing since your skin does not feel overly dry. If you get a good moisturizer, the skin will stay healthy as long as you use it consistently. After all, we do not stop drinking or eating during summer, so we should also not stop moisturizing. Whenever you get sunburn, remember to treat it using a moisturizing lotion as soon as possible.
4. Drink a lot of water
Drinking water has a host of health benefits as it enhances body functions and improves how your skin feels and looks. Proper hydration will also help in flushing toxins from the body. When toxins build up, they might cause the efficiency of organs to decrease significantly.
