6 Ways to Get Gorgeous Skin This Summer
How to protect your skin in the summer
Rule #1: Wear Sunscreen Daily. Choose one that is broad-spectrum and also has anti-aging ingredients to keep your skin looking youthful.
Rule #2: Try to always wear sunglasses with a UV 400 rating, since they offer up 100 percent UV protection.
Rule #3: Re-Apply SPF Every 2 Hours. This is true when you're engaging in sports, since sunscreen can sweat off, leaving you unprotected. Also, be sure to slather up after swimming in the pool or ocean, since formulas tend to wash off in the water.
Rule #4: Switch Up Your Cleanser. As the weather heats up your body tends to produce more oil, which can trigger breakouts.To fight off pimples, swap out your mild cleanser with an oil-free exfoliating one that will help keep pores free and clear of dirt and bacteria and prevent them from becoming clogged.
Rule #5: Shield Yourself. Choose a wide brimmed hat (that's at least two inches wide) to protect your face from sun damage. Bonus: It will also prevent your hair color from fading.
Rule #6: Slough Away Dead Skin. Increase your weekly exfoliation to twice a week,hot summer weather causes you to sweat more, which leads to a build up of dead skin and bacteria—and a dull-looking complexion.
