Exfoliate your body:
Your body sheds skin cells at an amazing rate every minute of everyday. If you don’t get rid of them, they will just sitting on your skin making you look dull and dry. Gently rub your exfoliator in circular movements on your entire body from the shoulders down and rinse clean. Continue to do this two-three times a week for year-round beautiful skin.
Go for fresh sunscreen: Throw away last year’s unused sunscreen for a new bottle. Sunscreens aren’t meant to last forever. Buy a new sunscreen that has UVA and UVB products and comes in SPF 30 and SPF 70. You should be using a full shot glass for your body and a full teaspoon just on your face. Reapply every one or two hours.
Hydrate your body with a summer-scented lotion: Find a summery lotion that you won’t forget to put on. It’s time to pack away your thick winter body butters for more light summery lotions. Gels and purees are perfect fast absorbers. Nothing spells summer more than a light refreshing fruity lotion.
Don’t forget your feet: Get a pedicure (try a beauty school if cost is a factor) or give yourself an at-home pedicure. Scrub off the dead dry skin to reveal your feet. Keep a foot scrub and file in your shower and scrub your feet a few times a week. You’ll notice a big difference in them.
Avoid makeup: During summer, less make-up is the best. If you intend to use foundation then also apply face powder with SPF to avoid patchy skin. To protect your lips, always use a gloss or a lip balm with an SPF of 15 to make your lips fresher. Eye make-up is something which should be very much avoided in summer.
