Now that you’ve put away your winter clothes, what should
you do to keep your skin looking fresh and healthy in summer?
Did you know you can prepare your skin in advance for a
holiday in the sun? Jeannette Graf, a dermatologist, says she wears sunscreen on
her body every night for 2 or 3 weeks ahead of her vacation so the sunscreen can
build up in the outermost layer of the skin, making her skin
less likely to burn.
A thicker sunscreen lotion takes far longer
to rub in. but if you will be at the beach, a heavy, water-resistant lotion is well
worth the trouble of rubbing in and re-applying frequently. If you’re
prone to breakouts, do look for an oil-free sunscreen.
Even if you have oily skin, you need to moisturize it. Oil
and moisture (water) aren’t the same thing. Use a non-oily cream that penetrates
deep into the skin so it can keep doing its job—hydrating your skin—from the
inside, even if you perspire or shower. InfiniteAloe Skin Care is just such a cream,
with the outstanding benefits of Aloe.
Don’t forget that hydration is also
about drinking plenty of water. I find it helpful to keep water bottles handy,
to remind myself to drink more often on the go.Water and lots of fruits and veggies are important to your skin in summer.
