Let It Shine
Summer means long, sunny days and cool refreshing drinks. Don’t we all enjoy these!
We enjoy these but we must also be careful, especially when it comes to looking after our skin and hair.
«This is a good time to re-look at the skincare products you are using. Summer means using lighter textures and protective ingredients.»
Here are 10 skincare tips for summer
1. Sun protection. : Sun protection is essential all year round but it is especially important in summer when the UV index is higher. Choose a broad-spectrum sun protection with at least SPF 30 and apply it 20 minutes before going outside. Re-apply every two hours or after swimming or sweating. The SUN series from Janssen Cosmetics offers an excellent non-greasy, non- white cast spray SPF 30. Do check it out.
2. Drink Plenty of Water: Staying hydrated is crucial for healthy skin. Drink at least eight glasses of water a day, and more if you’re active outdoors. The moment your body is dehydrated, your skin will get dehydrated and that will result in dry, flaky, rough skin.
3. Use Lightweight Products: During summer, switch to lighter skincare products that won’t clog your pores or feel heavy on your skin. Do go through our DRY SKIN range to find moisturizers and lightweight serums to suit your skin’s requirements. Hydro active Gel and Deep Express Moist Serumare our absolute favorites.
4. Exfoliate: Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and unclogs pores. Use a gentle exfoliator once or twice a week to keep your skin looking fresh and smooth. Mild Face Rub is an excellent option. The Jojoba beads exfoliate while melting on your skin.
5. Protect Your Lips: The skin on your lips is delicate and needs protection from the sun’s harmful rays. Use the GOODNIGHT LIP MASK day and night to keep your lips moisturized and protected.
6. Avoid Hot Showers: Hot showers can strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry and flaky. Take lukewarm showers instead to keep your skin hydrated.
7. Wear Sunglasses: Sunglasses not only protect your eyes but also prevent fine lines and wrinkles around your eyes. Choose sunglasses that offer 100% UV protection.
8. Use a Face Mist: A refreshing face mist can help cool and hydrate your skin in the heat. Keep one in your purse or beach bag for a quick pick-me-up. Brightening Face Freshener is the one you want to try.
9. Eat a Healthy Diet: Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables can help keep your skin healthy from the inside out. Include foods that are high in antioxidants like blueberries, spinach, and dark chocolate.
10. Cleanse Your Skin Properly: After a long day outdoors, it’s essential to cleanse your skin thoroughly to remove dirt, sweat, and sunscreen. Use a gentle cleanser like MILD CREAMY CLEANSER to avoid stripping your skin of its natural oils. The non-greasy avocado oil keeps your skin nourished, while cleansing it thoroughly.
