Moisture, Moisture, Moisture

I know that most of us only consider moisturizing our skin daily in the dry months of winter or when we get an itch. Moisturizing, all over, is just as important during the summer. As we sweat, we get rid of toxins but we also get rid of water, which our bodies need. So, take a warm to cool shower (not cold! never cold!) and gently pat dry. Moisturize your arms, legs, and torso with a quality lotion, preferably one for extra-dry skin. Thicker, creamier lotions will help your skin to retain hydration and should be used more often than not. This also helps to keep your tan golden and healthy looking. :-)

As always, remember to moisturize your face. I keep using my normal moisturizer here, but some change it up. If you do, a lighter moisturizer is fine for the summer, as long as your cleansing routine stays normal.

N.B.: Your hair and insides need water too! Be sure to drink plenty of water (room temperature is best because your body can absorb it more easily) and deep condition weekly to beat frizz.
