SUMMER skin tips
SPF, SPF, SPF
It’s the most important, fundamental, don’t-leave-home-without-it tip, wear sunscreen. We recommend a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher. Don’t forget about hands, feet, ears, and lips. Come by our office and let us help you find the perfect sun protection for you.
Invest in a good vitamin C serum
Vitamin C is great year-round, but all the more important in the summer. Vitamin C helps prevent hyperpigmentation, improves the appearance of fine lines, and can help with collagen production. Layer a few drops on your skin between cleansing and your moisturizer.
Don’t forget to exfoliate
While we often remind patients not to over-exfoliate, in the summertime, ’tis the season to slough away. That doesn’t mean a daily dose of all your favorite acids, but try slowly increasing the amount of days you exfoliate per week. Need some extra TLC? Schedule a complexion-enhancing facial with one of our aestheticians.
What about vitamin D?
The myths about vitamin D can be confusing. Is vitamin D important for our health? Absolutely! Can you get enough vitamin D, even if you wear sunscreen every day? The answer is yes! But instead of getting a daily dose of Vitamin D from the sun or tanning beds, turn to foods rich in vitamin D and supplements rather than risk the harmful rays of the sun.
