While summer is the time for fun and enjoyment, it doesn't mean that we get to be lazy with our skin care. Now's the perfect opportunity to go bare-faced every day and show off our naturally gorgeous, radiant skin, and for that to happen you'll need to know how to pamper and protect it, and how to make sure that beautiful summer glow shines through every day. For all you ladies who can't wait to strut around, secure in the knowledge that they look spectacular, here are a few tips that will bring out your beauty in all the best ways.
How to stay protected all day long
There are sunscreens for all kinds of skin types out there, and if you want a non-greasy product that won't clog your pores, pick something from the La Roche-Posay Anthelios line. These are non-comedogenic products that are great for summertime because they don't leave a greasy sheen and rather give your skin a gorgeous summer glow. When it comes to touch-ups, you can try a misting spray or a powder foundation with SPF, especially if you wear makeup and want to refresh it during the day. Also, wear a wide-brimmed hat to protect your face (and look elegant on top of that!), and rely on self-tanning lotions to give yourself a bronzy glow instead of roasting under the sun all day.
Switch your moisturizer
Cleanse and exfoliate like a pro
We recommend incorporating a good AHA (alpha-hydroxy acid) cleanser into your routine, especially if you want smoother skin. Pick a cosmeceutical brand (one that combines cosmetics with pharmaceutical-grade formulations) because these kinds of products can truly be life-changing if you've never tried them before. Something from the Aspect Dr skin care line is a good idea, particularly their Deep Clean Facial Cleanser. It will unclog your pores and help remove all the residue from your skin, but it's gentle and safe for use. If your skin is very sensitive, you can start by using AHAs twice a week.
