Summer is that time of the year most of us anticipate and long for. It’s the best time of the year to flaunt those well worked-out bodies as well as your glowing skin.

During summer, there are loads of outdoor activities going on. Ranging from swimming, sunbathing, fishing and outdoor barbecues, are all considered to be the best activities. These activities are all done under the scorching sun.

Exposing your skin directly to the scorching sun risks you having sunburn and premature skin ageing. Even if the effects are temporary allowing your skin to burn can lead to future problems. The worst is getting skin cancer. Therefore, here are some tips I would like to share with you to keep your skin hydrated and protected. Here are 5 ways to a perfect summer skin.

EXFOLIATION

Exfoliation should be practiced at least twice a week if you want a glowing skin. Exfoliation removes the old dead skin cells so your newer, fresher skin cells are left on the skins outermost surface.

Although, you should be careful while selecting a facial scrub or if you decided to make a scrub at home. Scrubs doesn’t have to be too rough on your skin else it’ll actually hurt your skin more than helping it.

Recently, I found another way of scrubbing by using a muslin cloth. Eve Lom’s woven Muslin Cloths are made from 100% cotton to gently exfoliate and improve blood circulation. Leaving the skin exceptionally soft, smooth and better prepared for the application of serums and creams. Yen tried and tested the muslin cloth with Eve Lom Balm Cleanser, and she swears by it.

HYDRATION

Keeping yourself hydrated could help your skin in ways you never imagined. That is why we recommend you to drink a lot of water. Water is an essential component for effective functioning of our body. 50% of our body is made up of water including skin, tissues, cells and organs.

Water plays and important role in replenishing any damaged skin tissue during the summer period. It also helps delay the signs of ageing. If you dislike drinking plain water, just add 2 slice of lemon in your water and it’ll be all good.

SUNSCREEN

Sunscreen also known as sunblock or sun cream are the perfect choice for your skin to help protect your skin against sunburn and can also prevent premature ageing skin, moles and skin cancer. No matter how fair or dark your complexion, all skin tones benefit from sunscreen. 

The usage of sun cream effectively protects against UV rays while brightening the skin, combats blemishes and prevents the development of age spots.

EAT YOUR FRUITS

While summer is the best time to indulge in all things tasty and BBQ-ed, don’t forget to feed your skin with a lot of fruits. You can have fruits in almost any way you want whether in salad, smoothie, juice or just eat it whole. 

Taking lots of fruits will help provide good natural vitamins that your skin would thank you for and it also helps clears away toxin from your body. You are definitely what you eat.

WEAR A HAT & SUNGLASS

When summer being the best time to show off the skin, you don’t have to bare it all. Wide brim hats help you stay away from excess sun damage and also keep you looking extra stylish and gorgeous. Wearing hats may also protect your hair and scalp from the scorching sun.

Don’t forget to keep those eyes shaded too. Too much light will hurt your eyes. So make sure you have your sunglasses ready at the beach or pool while you tan and read. Don’t forget that these sunglasses makes you look cool as well.

The tan will fade but let those great memories last forever!
