Keeping skin healthy means paying attention to what you put inside your body, as well as being mindful of your surroundings. In the winter, for instance, when temperatures and moisture are low, it’s important to keep lotions and moisturizing creams on hand. In the springtime, our skincare routine has a different focus. Read below for our warmer-weather skincare tips:
Step Up the SPF
It is always important to stay UV protected, but in the winter we usually have more layers to cover our skin. Spring and summer means breaking out of that winter cocoon of clothes. It should also mean taking the extra step of lathering on sunscreen on shoulders and knees.
Scrub-a-Dub Dub
It’s much easier to ignore unwanted hair in the winter. After all, no one can see it under tights, jackets, gloves and scarves. A bit of maintenance is required before we shed our “winter coat.” Prior to any hair-removal treatments, try a full-body exfoliating scrub. This will help loosen and remove dead skin cells to make your hair removal easier. If you plan to use any sunless tanning products, the scrub is also good for more even and consistent results.
