Summer is coming!! As a California girl who just experienced her first East Coast winter, I am SO ready for a California summer.
I’m excited for the hot weather and TANNING. So ready for it.
Products I'll Need
Timewise 3D Cleanser and my Intense Moisturizing Cream to keep my skin soft, glowy, CLEAR, and anti-aging.
Subtle Tanning Lotion to add some color to my legs & arms on those days I don't make it to the beach to tan.
After-Sun Replenishing Gel for all those hours I'll be out in the sun, I want to replenish my skin with hydration, antioxidants, and soothing ingredients.
The Sun Is The Number One Cause Of Aging
Although I absolutely love laying out in the sun for hours & hours, I always make sure to protect my skin.
By applying sunscreen before I go out in the sun, I'm adding a barrier between the sun's rays and my delicate skin - keeping it from aging quicker.
The sun dries out our skin - when it's dry, it tightens up.
And when it tightens up, it stretches.
Stretching our skin creates wrinkles.
When it comes to wrinkles, it's much more time consuming to reverse them than it is to prevent them.
Starting young [start today - you are younger than you will be tomorrow] means thinking about your future skin & choosing to take care of it ahead of time.
Essentially, putting on sunscreen is like making an investment into your future skin.
4 Tips To Protect Against The Sun This Summer
Here are 4 tips on how to conquer this summer with your future self in mind:
1. WEAR SUNSCREEN & TRUST
You will still have a beautiful, even color at the end of the summer if you lathered up every hour at the beach. Trust me - I’ve done this & I was so satisfied knowing I protected my skin while being out in the sun.
2. MOISTURIZE
The sun takes away moisture from our skin and when that happens, the wrinkles appear [maybe not right away - but they’ll come], or the acne appears [your skin feels dry & thinks it needs to produce more oil in order to moisturize - but it produces too much & your pores clog = then you have acne].
Moisturizing is key.
3. WEAR A HAT
If you’re like me and want to look like my grandma, who looks like the marvelous Julie Andrews, you’re going to want to bring a hat along your summer adventures.
Hats are CUTE. Make it a fashion statement! Pick one that makes you feel excited to wear, ready to strut on the beach or hike up a mountain. Protect your face and your future self will thank you for it.
4. SPF PRODUCTS
Invest in quality makeup that has SPF in it and will not clog your pores.
CC Cream with SPF15 is like a tinted moisturizer. It gives me an even color without looking like I'm wearing any makeup - and I swear my skin cleared up whenever I wore it [back when I had acne]!
Foundation Primer with SPF15 goes under my CC Cream and smooths out the surface of my skin before applying color. Plus it feels like silk [love that].
It’s all lightweight so I don’t feel like I’m wearing makeup at all - perfect for a hike or day at the beach.
Knowing this now, I hope it empowers you to take summer by the horns and have a BLAST while thinking about your future skin!
Looking beautiful doesn’t have to be sacrificial - we still get to enjoy all the joys of summer - we are just thinking about our future self while doing it.
Xoxo,
Allison
