Top 5 Summer Skincare Tips
Slather on the sunscreen. Apply at least 30 minutes prior to major sun exposure and re-apply every 2 hours or so. I like Alba Botanica's SPF 45 Lavender or Sport natural sunscreen. For your face, use mineral makeup with an SPF or check out this tinted moisturizer.
Double up the skin protection when heading for the beach, lake or park. Wear a hat and a cover-up. Or a cute printed rashguard with SPF.
Limit sun exposure. Especially between the hours of 10 am to 2 pm when UV rays are most intense. I know, it’s hard when there are so many fun things to do outside in the summer but it is the most effective method to protect skin.
Hydrate! Be sure to drink plenty of water. Not a huge fan of plain water? Add a few slices of cucumber, melon or sprigs of mint for a subtle yet delicious flavor.
Exfoliate. All that sun, sand and fun takes a toll on your skin. Use a gentle exfoliant for facial skin, like finely ground oatmeal mixed with yogurt or honey, and one of our hydrating sea salt scrubs on your body to keep skin healthy.
Moisturizing your lips: It's a skincare step that many of us simply don't realize the importance of, and that's okay! Lip moisturization is an essential step in the skincare process not because it makes those lips luscious, but because its actually protecting the thinnest part of the skin's barrier. The Etta + Billie lip balm collection provides rich nutrient and moisturization to repair your sensitive lips.
Summer sun leaving you a bit more red than you're used to? It happens to the best of us! Luckily our Lavender Lotion is packed with a rich blend of soothing and hydrating ingredients that will help calm the skin's surface after a long day of sun.
