Get glowing skin for summer

With summer rapidly approaching it’s natural for everyone to want to look their best, particularly if there is an important holiday planned. However, as people get rid of the various layers worn to see them through the winter months, they perhaps find that their skin is not at its best. Good skin care is essential throughout the year but in the summer there are many damaging factors that need to be taken into consideration.

Good hydration

Skin that is properly hydrated will always look better and this will help it to stand up to the heat of summer. It is recommended that a person drinks around two litres of water each day, but other fluids can also help to keep the skin and body properly hydrated. Green tea is a good option as this also has plenty of antioxidants to help flush away any toxins. Properly hydrated skin will be clearer and appear fresher.

Good nutrition

The same principle used for water can also be applied to food. A person who spends much of their time consuming junk food, high sugar and high fat foods will not have good quality skin. Salty foods can dehydrate so these should also be avoided. Altering the diet to include plenty of fruits and vegetables is important. Green vegetables will also help the immune system. Cutting back on meat intake is also a good option as this is difficult for the body to digest.

Good skincare

Following a number of rules when it comes to skin care will help to keep your skin glowing and in tip-top shape for summer. The first is to use a sun cream. This will protect the skin from harmful UVA rays that in time could cause the development of skin cancer. A high SPF is recommended and it should be reapplied regularly throughout the day for maximum benefits. The sun can also be very aging and dehydrating on the skin; using a sunscreen can help to keep the signs of aging at bay.

Glowing skin can also be helped with proper exfoliation. This is essential for removing dead skin cells and allowing the fresh skin to shine through. Exfoliation is not just for the face; it can be applied to the whole of the body and it should be done a few times a week.

Good quality products should be used on the face such as Derma Logi skin care. Cleansing the face properly twice a day should be an important part of the routine and a good moisturizer will be needed. Water-based moisturizers are often recommended for the best results and this should also be done twice a day.

Benefits of glowing skin

Most people would like to think that others notice them and glowing skin can help to achieve that. Skin that is clearer and sun-kissed without being sun damaged will attract attention and it is so easy to achieve with a little effort. The summer months are a chance to show off good skin and make the most of the good weather so make a few changes now.
