Summer is closing in and it
is time to review some tips on keeping our skin healthy and glowing through the hot summer months that will follow.
1. Exfoliation...cleaner, clearer, smoother
Running the
risk of sounding boring at times, I must state once more that
exfoliation is imperative towards achieving a clean, smooth, glowing
skin. Peeling will remove the layers of dead skin cells that accumulate
on the surface of the epidermis. This is very important since the dead
skin cells that accumulate cause congestion to the pores of the skin.
Basically the skin cannot "breath", the pores get clogged and
the skin is not able to receive proper hydration and other nutrients
from products that we apply.
For most people exfoliation done once a week or every 10 days is probably adequate. I recommend you do your exfoliation in the evening, and follow it with an appropriate mask, and then with your night care cream. If you want to take it a step further, add an ampoule or serum (prior to the mask). The results will amaze you!

Another absolute must. If you are not cleansing your skin twice a day (morning and evening) then you are not following a good skin care program. What I mean by cleansing is using an appropriate cleanser AND a tonic lotion to properly clean your skin in the morning and at night. The cleansing milk will remove impurities from the skin while the toner lotion is equally important as it will restore the skin%u2019s pH values.
I
often hear from my clients that
....it takes too long... and ....I just don't have enough
time...well let me tell you, it only takes about 2 minutes tops to
properly cleanse and tone your face. So no more excuses.
3. Moisturized Skin
Simple,
use moisturizing and anti-oxidant creams particularly during the day,
that will provide your skin with the necessary hydration levels and
protect it from the harmful elements. Further, combine in your skin care
regime, masks, serums and ampoules, which will provide the skin with
the extra hydration boost that is needed to get you through the tough
summer days.

4. Don't forget your Body
Sometimes we tend to forget that just like our face, our body needs to receive proper care and hydration
(not just in the summer but throughout the year).
There are several excellent products available that will help boost
your skins hydration levels and keep it smooth and supple.
The best time to apply a body cream or lotion is right after
you dry
off from your shower.
When
we say proper care we also mean exfoliation for the body as well. Just
like the skin on your face, the skin on your body needs to be
exfoliated to remove dead skin cells that accumulate on the surface.
You will be surprised how good your skin will look and feel after
exfoliating.
Finally do not forget your feet. You do not want your feet to look dull and dry when you wear those sandals. Do exfoliate your feet and especially your heels, and use daily an appropriate foot cream that will hydrate and nourish them.

5. Sun creams
Once
is never enough! The application of a high quality, high SPF sun cream
is a MUST not only during the summer, but throughout the year! The sun
cream should be the last step in your skin care program, and is applied
last (before applying make-up)
Especially during the summer, one application is not enough! You need to have your sun cream at hand and apply it frequently during the day especially if you are out and about.
Skin
discoloration, sun blotches, photo-aging and environmental damage from
UVA and UVB rays are all manageable and preventable when you are using
your sun cream diligently. Remember, it is easier to prevent than
trying to repair damage that has already taken place.
