Summer brings sunshine and warmer days, but it also means it’s time to give your skin a little extra care.
Keep your skin looking its best with simple adjustments to your skincare routine that can go a long way.
Tip 1: SPF50+ is a must
SPF is important all year round, but especially in Summer when the UV index is higher than usual.
Give your skin a chance to breathe while getting the protection it needs with the Cancer Council CC Cream. This CC cream combines 50+SPF with a moisturiser and a colour correcting tint, which can feel lighter on your skin without the greasy feel of sunscreen.
Tip 2: Get more out of your moisturiser
Summer brings sunshine but it also brings heat. This means that makeup, dirt and oil are more easily trapped in your pores.
With dirt in your pores comes break outs, which nobody wants. If you’re breaking out and freaking out, try switching to a non-pore-blocking (or noncomedogenic) oil-free moisturiser and see if your skin loves the swap.
Tip 3: It can be fake (tan)
With two out of three Australians being diagnosed with some form of skin cancer during their lifetime, choosing fake tan is the safer choice for yourself and your skin 1.
If you haven’t applied fake tan before, it’s important to exfoliate before applying it as it can help remove dead skin and prevent any product clinging to dry areas.
Bondi Sands has a wide range of express self tanning face serums and foams that can help you quickly achieve your perfect Summer glow.
Tip 4: Stay hydrated, inside and out
Hydration can help you maintain your overall health during the warmer months while also keeping your skin looking fresh. We lose more water through sweating, which is why it’s important to drink an adequate amount of water to help your body stay hydrated while you’re enjoying the sun.
As the weather heats up, your skin will also need extra hydration .Consider using a hydrating serum, such as Avene Hydrance Booster Concentrated Hydrating Serum, which can provide up to 48 hours of hydration to dehydrated and sensitive skin. You can also explore our hydration heroes range here.
Tip 5: Don't forget about collagen
Collagen is integral to internal skin structures and can also help enhance skin firmness, skin elasticity and your overall skin health.
If you want to give your hair, skin, and nails nourishment where creams can’t reach, Nature's Way Beauty Collagen for Mature Skin can help promote collagen formation and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
