While we are saying goodbye to June and entering July, some people haven’t switched over to their summer skin care defense yet. Through the hustle and bustle of summer activity that’s perfectly understandable, but it’s highly recommended by skin care professionals to get on track as soon as possible.
A jump start to summer skin care can be done right now to avoid premature skin aging and even help ward off skin cancer.
Here is a glimpse into 5 top tips:
The Freckle Halt It seems that during the summer months, those little freckles around the nose and cheek area really make their grand entrance. This very well could be a sign that not enough or the right sunscreen is being applied for skin care protection. Consider this as a “cue” for seeking the advice of an aesthetic nurse or skin care specialist who can help guide someone in utilizing the right solar protection. Not only will it lessen the appearance of age spots, but handpicked products chosen for one’s specific skin type can add a barrier to premature skin aging which also includes fine lines and wrinkles.
Youthful Eyes The sun can zap skin hydration on every part of the body including around the eyes. Add a boost of youth with the right topical ingredients to reverse those fine lines. With the assistance of an aesthetic nurse, those with persistent fine lines around the eyes could be candidates for Botox. And always remember to wear sunglasses when outdoors for extra protection.
Lip Care While so many people have a solar defense placed with their sunscreen application, more times than not, lip care may be overlooked. Ultra violet rays can damage one’s lips so it really is vital to blanket them with an SPF 30 or more lip balm.
Overall Skin Hydration With fun in the sun comes skin dehydration. One may notice more flaky skin on their arms and legs. While showering, use a body exfoliator. A hot shower will cause further hydration so as tempting as it may be, bring down that water temperature. Following a shower, apply a body moisturizer. An ultra-rich body butter is always a top choice.
*It’s especially important to note that a body exfoliator should never be used on the face since it will be too harsh. Please seek the advice of an aesthetic nurse or skin care specialist to assist in choosing the right facial topical treatments.
Lovely Locks While sunscreen can help keep skin youthful, there are tips to help hair from becoming dry, brittle and frizzy during the summer months. For starters, swim caps are making a comeback, and it’s the perfect retro look for protecting hair from chlorine and saltwater.
When outdoors, tuck those locks under a hat or wear a ponytail. A couple times a week, use a deep conditioner to promote hydration. And when possible, let hair dry naturally in lieu of using a hair dryer. For hair that’s drying naturally, spritz on a conditioner and scrunch for a beachy look.
