EBN- The sun, the sea and spending time in the summer are all good for your psyche, but they can have harmful effects on your skin. As temperatures rise, skin can appear oily, clogged pores and a bit sunburnt. Check out our best tips and tricks for keeping your skin soft, fresh and protected all season long.
1. Use SPF sun protection products
You should use sun protection products on your facial skin every day, but this becomes especially necessary during the summer months. A product with a good SPF will moisturize your skin in addition to protecting it from the sun’s harmful long- and short-term ultraviolet rays. Don’t forget to use sunscreen to protect your entire body.
To help protect skin from daily aggressors, use our lightweight, multi-protection cream concentrate SPF50 to boost your skin’s natural radiance and our Vitamin C Radiance Protection Lotion with SPF30.
2-Drink plenty of water
Our bodies contain 60% water, so it is very important to stay properly hydrated. Drinking enough water and eating foods with a high water content helps avoid dehydration, which can make the skin look dull and tight. Eating a balanced diet and not smoking helps retain moisture inside the body, so the skin appears fresh.
3-Don’t forget your lips
It’s not just the sun’s rays that will dehydrate your skin. Your lips are also just as vulnerable to damage as the rest of your body, so it’s important to keep them hydrated and moisturized to help protect them during the summer months.
To moisturize your lips and protect them from the sun, try our Vitamin E Lip Care SPF 15, Born Lip Balm, which nourishes the lips and is available in a variety of scents. Our vegan Lip Jossers glide on to give your lips a soothing touch, while our powerful hemp lip care is perfect for hydrating extra-dry lips.
4-Take a cold shower
What’s better than a cold shower after spending time outside in the heat? Not only does it help relieve the skin from sunburn and itching, cold water also helps tighten the pores and refresh the skin without depriving it of its natural oils.
We suggest you cleanse your body with a soothing and caring shower cream made from almond milk and honey, specially designed for dry, sensitive skin. Then moisturize your skin with a dollop of our gentle Aloe Vera Soothing Body Butter.
5-Refresh your skin with facial sprays
While drinking plenty of water is important for the health of your skin and lifestyle, spritzing water on your face to refresh your skin is another way to keep it hydrated during hot weather. We suggest carrying a refreshing facial mist in your bag so you can give your skin regular boosts of quick hydration. Not only will it refresh you incredibly well when the temperature rises – it can also help hold your makeup in place all day long.
Spray this pocket-friendly facial mist on the go to instantly revitalize and hydrate thirsty skin. Enriched with organic, community-grown Mexican Aloe Vera, our Calming Coconut Facial Mist is our favorite for soothing and comforting skin.
