What’s Good for Your
Skin
“Did you know an SPF 30
Sunscreen, when applied incorrectly, only has the affects of an SPF 20
Sunscreen?” We love summer and we love
the sun, but how best to protect our skin?
Most doctors recommend a higher SPF so the chances of even a tiny
misapplication will protect our skin better than no protection at all. A good rule of thumb: measure out enough
sunscreen to fill a shot glass and apply!
As September lurks around
the corner, here are a few rules to follow about keeping your skin not just radiant, but healthy and, even more
importantly, reducing your risk for skin cancer.
Some tips:
1.
Moisturize! Always remember to keep your skin hydrated –
this reduces wrinkles just as much as it helps to maintain skin’s resiliency.
2.
Use cuticle cream…often. This keeps the corners
of your fingers looking neat and tidy, not cracked, peeling, painful and scary
all year long!
3.
Keep your
mouth lip-smacking fresh with yummy,
SPF packed chap sticks that will get your fragile skin through the hot weather
and beyond.
4.
Try Dry Brushing – this technique
exfoliates the skin (avoid sensitive areas like your face) and can be done
twice a week. Pick a brush (boar bristle
or loofah) that is comfortable on your skin and work from your toes to your
chest. With open pores and no dead skin
cells, a refreshing peppermint or tea tree body soap will be the perfect finishing touch for your newly dry brushed skin!
Take care of yourself this season – from head to
toe!
