While there are benefits to soaking up the sun’s rays (We
LOVE Vitamin D!), it is more important than ever to take proper care to protect
your skin from the potentially harmful effects of the sun.
Here are 6 important
ways to care for your skin before, during and after fun in the sun!
All Over Protection
Before spending time outdoors, apply sunscreen with
full-spectrum UVA and UVB Protection. Facial skin is particularly sensitive so
take advantage of facial moisturizers or foundations with SPF that can give you
an added layer of protection.
Don’t Forget the Lips
The sun’s rays can be especially drying to the tissues of
your lips. Make sure to apply a lip balm with SPF to protect lips from drying,
peeling and cracking. Preventative care is important! Planning effectively can
help keep you from having to treat an uncomfortable or painful burn, or rough,
chapped lips.
Hello, Hydration
There are so many benefits to drinking 8 glasses of water a
day. Being well hydrated helps curb cravings, fight infections, flush toxins
from the body and support healthy skin. Skin contains water, and when it is
dehydrated the skin is more susceptible to appearing dry and wrinkled. Don’t
wait until you’re thirsty – by then you’re already on your way to dehydration.
Instead, make drinking water part of your outdoor summer routine!
Say Ahhhhh
Even with all of our best intentions, sometimes sunburns
happen. Apply Aloe Vera to the skin to sooth, cool and rehydrate red and
irritated skin. Keeping the skin moisturized can help burns heal faster and
delay or prevent painful peeling. Tip: keep your Aloe Vera in the fridge for a
cool sensation to instantly take the sting out of burns!AloeByNature
Deep Clean
After spending time in the sun, skin can be oily and dirty.
As soon as you get home, cleanse your face thoroughly to clear pores and
minimize the possibility of breakouts before applying a light moisturizer. To
keep your summer glow going strong, moisturizing
is key! Dry skin can peel or
shed faster and appear dull vs. well-hydrated skin that has a natural, healthy
tone. I recommend the Sonya Skin Care Range by Forever Living.
Get Even
Uneven skin tone can happen after pregnancy, time in the sun
or as we age. Thankfully, these spots don’t need to be permanent! Apply a
spot-evening formula to brighten the complexion and improve the appearance of
dark spots. Regular exfoliation can also help to keep your skin tone bright and
even. (Recommended Epiblanc by Forever Living: item #236)
Following these simple steps can help keep your skin
beautiful all year long!
Did you know?
SPF (which stands for Sun Protection Factor) indicates how
much longer you can stay in the sun without protection. For example, SPF 30
allows you to stay in the sun 30 times longer without burning than you could
without sun protection! Still, make sure to reapply sunscreen often.
So now you know what to do, share with your friends and do let us know if you have found this informative.
