Summertime Skin Care Secrets

As you're out and about enjoying the summer this year, it's important to make sure that your skin is having as good a time as you are. This time of year has the ability to bring out the very best in our skin if we just keep a few simple tips in mind.

There are three keys to keeping your skin healthy, happy, and brilliant this year - cleanse, moisturize, and protect.

CLEANSE

Keeping your skin clean, especially at the end of the day, is a great way to cut back on blemishes and breakouts caused from summer sweat and the extra skin products you may be using this season. Taking time to do a thorough cleansing at the end of the day can help remove oil, sweat, and debris from your skin while adding important hydration to help your skin heal, repair, and replenish while you sleep.

Choose a cleanser that is light, natural, and gentle. You may find that you want to cleanse your face a lot more than usual during warm months, so choose a product that won't clog your pores or weigh you down.

MOISTURIZE

Making sure that your skin has all the moisture and hydration it needs to stay smooth, soft, and toned is one of the best moves you can make this season. Having a great moisturizer on hand no matter where you go will make it easy for you to tackle dry skin anytime and keep your face looking supple and soft. Use moisturizers throughout the day, especially after getting wet or washing to help replace lost moisture. Choose a product that your skin easily absorbs and that won't get in the way of your makeup or other skin care products.

PROTECT

No matter what you do this season, sunscreen needs to be part of your skin care program. Keeping the harmful sun's rays off of your skin can help slow down the signs of aging, prevent blemishes, keep your skin looking soft and smooth, and prevent many kinds of skin illnesses as well. There is no replacement for a great sun block - so make sure you pick some up today!

Choose a sunblock that has a high SPF, is light, and blends well. You may also find that your favorite moisturizers and makeup products have versions with added sunblock to give you even more protection all day long!

Remember to reapply after swimming, sweating, or touching up makeup for best results.

This is going to be a charmed summer!
