Summer Skin and Body Essentials
7/03/2017
Summer is
a devil for your skin, especially if you live or you visit a really hot
country. Over the years I have become more and more conscious about the damage
of the sun and, overall, the summer in your skin and have collected a bunch of
products that help me avoid that damage, as well as other products that make my
skin ready for summer.
One of
the most important parts of your skin and body care routine in summer has to be
protecting your skin. I protect my face everyday with a minimum of SPF 25 using
a primer by Rimmel; however, on really sunny days or days when I know I'm going
to be outside for a long time I use a SPF 50; my favourite at the moment is the
Garnier Sensitive Advance Face Spray. This product has great protection; it's
easy to apply and doesn’t make my skin feel greasy. For my body protection I
normally go for SPF 30 on an everyday basics and SPF 50 if I'm going to be
outside for a long time; my favourite brands for body sun protection are La
Roche Posay, which also makes great face SPF, and Vichy.
Another
really important part in my summer body care routine is waxing / shaving. I do
it at home using the Veet Wax Strips (I like both the ones for normal skin and
for sensitive skin) which make waxing really easy. I only wax my legs; I prefer
shaving my thigh area as it is less painful and I have really thin and really
little hair. If you don't feel confident enough to get your waxing done by
yourself, ask your mom (that's what I do sometimes) or a friend for some help
or go to a beauty centre and get it done there.
My skin
suffers a lot in summer and gets really, really dry. For that reason I like to
exfoliate my body once a week and my face two to three times a week (I'll link
the exfoliators I use bellow). I also moisturize my skin every time I shower
using my new favourite moisturizer which is the Vasenol /Vaseline Intensive
Care moisturizer; I'd a hundred percent recommend t if you have dry skin.
Another favourite of mine is the Dove Summer Revived Body Lotion; as I don't
fake tan (even though I really wanna try the St. Tropez in Shower Tan and the new L'Oreal Overnight Fake Tan) this
product is perfect for giving my pale legs a bit of colours and making them
look sun kissed.
And last
but not least I wanted to talk about the most useful product you can have in
your summer body and skin care kit, the Àvene Spring Water Spray. I use this
product all year round and I have used it for over 5 years now and I still
think there's nothing better for your skin. I use it as a toner for my skin
when it is feeling too sensitive, I use it on my legs after shaving, I use it
after being in the sun for a long time and it's also perfect if you have sun
burn. For all these reason I would recommend you go and buy a bottle and give
this product a try.
