How to Protect your Skin in the Summer
Best Sunscreen and Habits for Healthy Skin
During the summer months, your skin has needs that are unique to the climate change it is experiencing. Help support your skin over the next few months by following this guide.
1. Daily Skincare Regimen:
A skincare regimen is not just to help you look your best, it's essential for your skin's health. Your skin is the largest organ in your body and because of this, what you put ONTO it matters!
Your daily skincare regimen begins and ends your day with a soothing ritual (READ MORE about the IMPORTANCE OF A SKINCARE REGIMEN). You can shop my suggested regimens HERE.
2. Sun Protection:
The sun is OUT! And I hope you are too! Are you prepared for the intensity of the summer sun? Do you know what to look for in a sunscreen to stay safe? READ MORE HERE.
My faves:
Countersun Mineral Sunscreen Stick (Put one in the kid's lunchkits, your golf bag, your purse, and pocket...apply to your lips for additional protection PLUS it doesn’t leave your hands slippery for those sports you’re playing!)
Countersun Mineral Sunscreen Lotion (goes on smooth and hydrating )
Countersun Daily Sheer Defense (no white sheen, hydrating, yet absorbs beautifully)
Countersun Tinted Mineral Sunscreen (a self-tan look with an SPF 30!)
3. Antioxidants:
Have you added Vitamin C to your life yet? It’s that daily dose of bright & light that we can all use a little more of ✨ Want to know more about the power of antioxidants like Beautycounter’s All Bright C Serum? READ MORE HERE
4. Hydration:
Water makes up 50-70% of your body. Every organ needs it, including your largest one: your SKIN
Your hydration needs are unique, but aiming for 2-4L (~100 ounces) per day should have you on your way to feeling hydrated.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When skin is hydrated, it appears brighter and plumper. There are many other body benefits to drinking more water too!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
MY FAVOURITE WATER BOTTLE:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡ YETI 20 oz: keeps water cold, BPA free⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
TIPS TO DRINKING MORE WATER:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡ Drink one glass of water before each meal⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡ Add flavour! My faves include a squeeze of lemon or lime, Vitamin C pack, or cucumbers⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➡ Have water bottle that you fill with intention.⠀
Notice what happens to your dry, dull complexion as you start to increase your water consumption and add extra hydration like a FACIAL OIL into your skincare routine. Learn more about the importance of HYDRATION for optimal summer skin health HERE.
