Summer in Texas is approaching – high humidity, lots of bright sunshine, rain and relentless heat is soon to be upon us, and if you’re like me, you want to be out doors, but not at the expense of your complexion.
I made the following list to help keep your skin balanced, but I’m always happy to give you custom skin care advice to suit your particular complexion.
1. Sun protection – Not only do you want to apply sunscreen and reapply every 3 hours, but I highly recommend long sleeves and more round necks, as well as hats or caps when you’re going to be out in full sun. Or even looking into clothing with sun protection.
I’m not a big fan of spray on sunscreen, because you breathe it in and the coverage might not be quite enough.
If you need recommendations, I carry 3 different types.
2. Keeping cool and hydrated is a challenge with all the Texas sun and wind, so I recommend you keep a bottle of Moisture Mist or Rose Hydrosol with you, or even better in the fridge for a cool, refreshing blast for your skin. Staying hydrated by drinking lots of water is also great. I like to prepare by adding lemon slices or frozen fruit to my water and keep some in the fridge, nice and cold!
3. Bug bites – with our past winter, bugs are rampant. I’ve already been attacked through my clothing. I used Sanitas Purifying Clay Cleanser as a mini-mask to the area and it reduced pain and swelling by the next morning. You could also use Sanitas Tea Tree Mask, which btw is a great overnight blemish control mask.
4. Damage control – if you do get a little too much sun – try the Sanitas Purifying Clay Cleanser as a mask, it’s healing properties include cooling eucalyptus and aloe vera, to cool, soothe and begin the healing process. AFterwards, apply Sanitas Moisture Mist or Hyaluronic Acid Serum and Topical C to soothe and heal. Afterwards, you probably want to come in for a Custom Facial of 50 or 80 minutes to further hydrate and heal your skin.
Hope you found these Summer Skin Care Tips helpful…Enjoy your summer!
