Summer Skin Care

Summer is in full swing here is New England, so here are some tips for you beach bunnies:
1. Always wear some form of sunscreen. We should wear no less than SPF 15 in order to protect from harmful rays and deter wrinkles.
2. If you have tattoos, put SPF 70 or 80 on them liberally, before applying the rest.
3. Use makeup and hair products with SPF. I also like to use scalp oil and color preserving spray before I hit the beach--the sun gives these products an oomph.
4. Put sunscreen on your legs! Our legs rarely see direct sunlight and will burn... unevenly too.
5. You should reapply sunscreen every two to three hours, more often if you take a dip.
6. EXFOLIATE when you get home to scrub off the sunscreen and aid in circulation; you ought to use a nourishing or hydrating body wash when you do this.
7. Stay hydrated. Drink twice as much water as you usually would.
8. And, please, continue to deep condition your locks!

Recommended products:
-Coppertone Spray-On Sunscreen
-Aeto Scalp De-Toxer Oil
-Joico Color Endure Spray
-Nalgene BPA-free water bottle
-Aveeno Fig and Shea Butter Body Wash
-My Honey Child Olive You Deep Conditioner

Have a great summer and blessed solstice!
