1: Sunscreen
With the warm weather here, we’re bound to expose more skin in an attempt to stay cool. However, this exposure leaves the skin prone to environmental stress. Harmful UV rays can cause premature wrinkles and can raise our risks of skin cancer. Sunscreen helps shield our skin from these harmful rays as well as prevent dark spots and skin discolorations.
I suggest using a sunscreen such as Sun Bum with an SPF of at least 50.
Don’t forget your lips! Sun Bum also has a coconut flavored chap stick with SPF 30 in it! It feels super light on your lips and leaves them feeling smooth all while protecting them!
2: Facial Mist
It’s a good idea to carry some kind of facial mist to help hydrate your skin. Our face can become easily dry if we don’t moisturize enough during the hot weather.
I suggest Eau Thermale Avene Thermal Spring Water Facial Mist Spray for Sensitive Skin:
3: Makeup remover wipes/ Micellar Water
Although I prefer a double cleanse method, if you really and truly cannot do a double cleanse, then at the very least use some makeup remover wipes or some micellar water. It’s important to remember to never go to bed with makeup on! Not only will it clog your pores, but it can also irritate and dry out your skin.
I suggest using a facial wipe such as Neutragena’s Makeup removing wipes:
Or the Bioderma Micellar Water
4: Oil blotting sheets:
For everyone who has oily skin, it’s important to blot the excess oil off the face to prevent clogged pores and breakouts!
I suggest using Clean and Clear blotting sheets.
5: Most importantly…. Water!
This is the most important thing to have during the summer months. It’s important to stay hydrated so that our bodies can function properly and help us stay healthy! It also helps give your skin that natural beautiful glow!
