Be a Summer Beauty With the Right Skin Care

As the temperatures start to warm up, it's only human nature to want to bare more skin. By following a good daily skin care routine and living a healthy lifestyle, you'll be glowing all summer long!

If you haven't been thinking about prepping your skin for the summer, you may want to start the ball rolling. Maintaining good skin care daily will help your body and your complexion shape up beautifully for the summer season.


We tend to hibernate during the winter months and rarely worry about getting a great tan. Long-sleeved tops and paler shades are ideal for the fall and winter but if you want to look ready for the hot days coming your way, you'll need to turn your skincare around. Sometimes colder seasons tend to bring about dry, flaky and ashen skin. That's definitely not what summertime is all about!

In addition to daily cleansing, toning and moisturizing, summer skin needs the added help of sunscreen and exfoliators. Be sure to start stocking up on quality sunscreens and sun block, as well as skincare and makeup products that contain SPF. Don't want to deal with the hassle of constantly applying sunscreen? There are hundreds of sun care products that work better than the sunscreens of old. Many formulas are now lightweight, absorb quickly into the skin and don't have that funky sunscreen smell. Opt for spray-on sun care products if you don't have the patience to lather yourself up.

To successfully slough off winter layers of dead and flaky skin, incorporate a good body scrub or other exfoliating wash for your whole body. Put in a little extra time and care when dealing with common rough spots such as elbows, knees and your feet. With an exfoliating process added, your skin will become softer and more manageable, not to mention your skin will better absorb lotions and other moisturizers. This gives you the best results and allows you to make the most of your favorite products.

When it comes to makeup, go for the natural, sun kissed look. Skipping foundation and opting for tinted moisturizers or dusting your face with bronzer best accomplishes this. Always remember that less is more. Wearing warmer colors and lip-gloss gives faces of any age a fresh and youthful appearance. As always, make sure to never sleep with your makeup on and treat your complexion to a facial or mud mask once to twice a week to help purify your skin.

Summer skin doesn't just involve getting your skin in shape but your entire body, especially the inside. Continue to drink water throughout the day and consume as many leafy greens as you can to provide your skin with the nutrients needed, like lutein, to block the sun's damaging effects.
