Here are your top 5 skincare tips to get the most out of outdoor summer fun:
1) Wear sunscreen (no, seriously!)
We’ve all heard how important sunscreen is, but did you know that the risk for melanoma doubles if you have had more than five sunburns in your lifetime? Protecting your skin from sun damage should be priority number one, especially in the summer. Shield your skin from the sun’s harmful rays with Eminence Lilikoi Mineral Defense Sport Sunscreen SPF 30, formulated with zinc oxide. This water-resistant sunscreen protects you from broad spectrum UV rays throughout the summer as you enjoy the outdoors.
For easy on the go application you can also try our new Eminence Sun Defense Minerals. This lightweight powder sun protection is a hypoallergenic and non-pore clogging natural mineral powder. Perfect for providing sheer coverage for fast touch ups and a natural semi-matte finish.
2) Get Your Vitamin D
Vitamin D is the sunshine vitamin and a critical part of your building and maintaining healthy bones. It’s also one of the best vitamins for your skin, along with vitamins C, E, and K. Making sure you get enough of these vitamins can keep your skin looking healthy, youthful and may help to reduce dark spots.
3) Love ALL Your Skin
Don’t forget about skincare for your arms and legs during this season of sundresses, capris and skirts. Many of us experience ingrown hairs which can be avoided with proper exfoliation. Cell turnover is much slower on your legs, and dead skin cells can build up quickly, hiding stubborn ingrown hairs, clogging your razor and causing uncomfortable razor burn. Exfoliating your skin allows any hair that may be hiding under dead skin to be lifted and removed.
4) The Best Time to Shave
Though convenient, the best time to shave isn’t during your morning shower. As you sleep, legs swell slightly, which can hide a portion of the hairs. For a closer shave, wait until evening.
Certified Esthetician tip: Shave towards the end of your shower when your hair follicles are the softest. For your shave, apply an ultra-hydrating oil like Eminence Apricot Body Oil. This oil replenishes your skin’s moisture as you shave, leaving your skin soft and silky.
5) Stay Hydrated!
Hydration is essential during the summer when hot temperatures make us sweat! It’s also essential for beautiful skin – water keeps your body hydrated and refreshed and helps maintain your skin’s elasticity. This gorgeous Vitajuwel Water Bottle is great for the environment and beautiful enough to motivate you to reach your hydration goals.
