4 Tips to Securing Summer Skin

Temperatures rising can only mean one thing, summer is here. As the heat creeps up on us, it is important to prepare your skin for the changes in weather. Make the most of the season by following these four tips, which are sure to get your skin looking and feeling great all summer long.

Build up your bronze:

The start of summer can come with the pressure to be tan right away. Don’t jump the gun though, creating a base tan is an important step when bronzing. Avoid burning and peeling, by easing into your tan. Slowly exposing your skin to U.V. light can help prevent overexposure, as well as extend the life of your tan. Make sure to pair your tanning session with a good tanning lotion, which can help you build better color, and keep the skin moisturized and hydrated.

Fake it ‘til you make it:

If you’re wary of exposing your skin to the sun’s rays, but still want a beautiful tan this summer, go with a faux-glow. Spray tans are an excellent option to keep skin healthy, but also looking bronzed and beautiful. Spray tans can last up to 10 days, and are ideal if you’re looking to glam up your summer look for a special occasion, event, or vacation. With state of the art spray tanning technology designed to deliver a tan that compliments your natural skin tone, there’s no need to worry about coming out looking orange or streaky, making spray tans an easy, and care-free option to summerize your skin.

Keep calm and cover up:

Once you’ve reached your perfect color, don’t forget to cover-up! While a little sunlight here and there can be just the ticket, too much of it can result in a sunburn that’s sure to ruin your day. Always engage in safe sun practice when you’ll be spending an extended amount of time outdoors. Never forget to apply SPF before a day spent in the sun, and don’t forget your sun hat and sun glasses. Taking these simple steps can help ensure your day in the sun stays fun.

Lock in the moisture:

Hot days take a lot out of your skin. Quench your skin’s thirst by keeping it moisturized, and by staying hydrated. By keeping your body hydrated throughout the summer, more than just your skin will thank you. In addition to rehydrating, keep your skin happy by staying moisturized with a great after-care product. Find your favorite formula for your face, and your body, and apply both twice a day for optimal results. Not only will your skin feel better, staying hydrated can help prolong and enhance your tan, making you look bronzed, longer –talk about a win-win!
