Get Your Skin Summer Ready!

May 14th 2014 A lot us are hitting the gym a little harder right about now, trying to shed a few pounds in an effort to achieve beach-ready physique. That’s all good—no one’s going to criticize you for getting in shape!—but don’t forget about the part of your body that takes the biggest beating during the summer months: your skin. Every one of us, girls and guys, should engage in a little epidermis prep before heading out to the pool. And here’s the good news—you don’t even have to add anything to your workout to get your skin ready. Below are three unisex skincare tips for optimal summer readiness. EXFOLIATE Exfoliation helps keep your skin clear and blemish free by gently removing the dead cells from the surface of your skin. (Yes, there are dead cells all over your skin. Kind of makes you want to go exfoliate right now, doesn’t it?) Regular exfoliation makes a big difference in the appearance and feel of your skin. If you’d like to go all natural, there are some simple at-home recipes you can use to create your own exfoliant. Homemade for Elle has 10 suggestions that will keep your skin looking healthy and young. If you’d rather pick something up at the store without breaking the bank, St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub is inexpensive and an excellent unisex option. MOISTURIZE You use a daily moisturizer, right? Because you really should. To limit the damaging effects of the sun and keep you looking young for years, be sure to use a moisturizer with an SPF of 15 or more, like Yes To Carrots Daily Facial Moisturizer, which is also 97% natural. Ladies, apply a daily moisturizer before you put on your makeup. Gentlemen, follow your shaving routine with a daily moisturizer for softer skin and less post-shaving irritation. REPLENISH Granted, a face mask seems more like the kind of product the gals will go for, but the benefits—minimizing blemishes and replenishing the skin—are great for both genders. Consider Alba’s Botanica Deep Sea Facial Mask as an inexpensive option. It’s 100% vegetarian and contains no artificial colors, parabens or phthalates. It will only add 5 minutes to your prep time, and your skin will look and feel noticeably healthier. Whatever your summer plans, be nice to your skin. Always use sunscreen when you plan on being outdoors, and add these simple tips to your routine. Your skin will thank you! — LATEST NEWS & EVENTS — We're celebrating summer with Monif C!
