Fortunately, the weather has not been overly hot in Northern California, but that doesn’t mean your skin couldn’t still use some pampering! Even overcast weather tends to be harsh on your skin and cause sunburns so take precaution when going out even on the gloomy looking days.
Take care of yourself during the remainder of the summer by doing the following:
1. Drink plenty of water to reduce the risk of heat stroke. Drinking water will help you hydrate your skin from within.
2. Use Sunscreen – just like the old American Express commercials say – never leave home without it! One of the most convenient tips for anti-aging is to use sunscreen daily. The harsh UV rays not only can cause cancer, but can accelerate aging. Combat the UV rays with sunscreen on your face and body to help prolong those signs of aging.
3. Protect your eyes with large sunglasses. Sun exposure increases the risk of cataracts so put on those shades.
4. Switch to water-based skin care products. Summer is the time when skin tends to get oilier and that can cause to more pimples. Changing to water-based products can reduce the oiliness and thus, reducing pimples.
5. Wear a hat to protect your hair and for more shade from the blazing summer sun.
7. Opt for lip gloss instead of lipstick. (The new Tokyo Milk lip balms are light weight and smell WONDERFUL!)
6. Arm yourself with a tube of aloe vera gel. It is wonderful for healing sunburns. On top of that, it is a great oil-free moisturizer for face and body.
