How To Prep Your Skin For Summer

This summer let’s push for only the best, softest, smoothest skin possible! Through just a few small steps you can have healthier skin this summer. What are some things that I’m able to do you might ask? Well let’s check out some options for you this summer on how to prep your skin for the summer heat.

Exfoliate to Remove Dead Skin Cells and Dirt

Regularly exfoliating can be a part of a healthy skin regimen no matter the time of year; and as long as your skin is not excessively sensitive, exfoliation can help you achieve smooth, healthy-looking skin that makes you look more glowing and youthful. You don’t want to be too aggressive with your exfoliating as you just want to lift off the outer layer of skin cells without stripping your skin. Brushes, polishing cloths, and scrubs offer easy ways to smooth away rough spots. Rotating cleansing brushes work by physically buffing off the dead skin cells. Exfoliating cloths, microdermabrasion kits, and scrubs with granular ingredients also operate the same way.

Products that chemically exfoliate the skin contain ingredients such as glycol or salicylic acids cause the skin to shed its outer layer and reveal the newer layer all without the abrasive aspect of other exfoliation methods. Many of these exfoliating strategies can also help with acne. The approach to treating acne on the back, chest, and elsewhere on the body is the same as treating facial acne: exfoliate regularly and use the right materials for you. Washing with products that contain salicylic acid helps slough off the dead skin cells; a product with benzoyl peroxide can also help by penetrating the skin and killing off the bacteria that cause acne.

Moisturize and Hydrate Your Skin

The heat of summer can often work to dry our bodies out causing irritation for so many people! Utilizing a high quality lotion is one of the easiest steps you can take down the path of skin care. This sadly overlooked step is vital as properly moisturized skin is softer and healthier. With sandal weather coming back it probably wouldn’t hurt to get a pedicure or at least show your feet a little extra work. Winter can be very dry and one of the places on our bodies to experience this the most is the feet which can become dried out or even cracked during winter months. Obviously this isn’t going to work if you want to rock anything open toed this summer. Proper care should be taken to make sure your feet are hydrated and moisturized.
