4 Essential Summer Skincare Tips
Summer is a glorious time of the year for a lot of us. The sun is shining, the weather is hot and the days are longer, allowing us more time to sit outside and bask in the sun and the summer heat. This time of year also sees more of us head to the beach or to swimming pools or lakes to cool down. However, it is important to look after your summer skin with the right summer skincare, helping to ensure your skin is as well – if not better – looked after as other times of the year.
Always wear SPF
It is important to apply skincare solutions that contain SPF, including a lip balm, to help protect elements of your body and your skin, such as your lips, from the sun’s harmful rays. Apply as often as necessary and apply, especially, after swimming when your skin can be more susceptible to potential damage from the sun.
Don’t forget your hair and scalp
Swimming, especially in man-made swimming pools, that contain chlorine and other substances can potentially cause damage to the hair and the scalp by drying moisture from the hair resulting in an itchy scalp and increased dandruff. Therefore, after swimming, take the time to revitalise and nourish your locks with a hair treatment or a haircare product that can help cleanse and purify.
Keep eyes fresh
This can be a really handy tip to remember, especially if you suffer with dry or irritated eyes after a day spent in the sun. Eye serums and eye gels can help to soothe, cool and moisturise the sensitive skin surrounding the eyes, while also helping to maintain your skincare regime.
