Summer Skin Care Tips

Summer is a time when you want your skin to look great. It can also be tough on your skin with increased sun exposure causing skin damage and heat leading to sweating and breakouts. It is easy to forget to protect against the sun when you live in an area with such cloudy weather.  This unfortunately shows up in our area’s elevated skin cancer rates.

• Clothing is highly effective at protecting against the sun, provided it blocks light.  We had a French neighbor from Paris growing up who had the most beautiful skin as she aged. She always wore hats in the summer to protect her face.  We carry a wide line of sunhats and scarves.
• Remember to wear sunglasses to protect your eyes and the delicate skin around them.
• Always wear sunscreen. Even during cloudy weather, damaging UV rays penetrate through clouds. UVA rays go through glass too. With fewer clouds, long summer days, and more time outdoors, your UV exposure goes up during the summer.
• Be sure to reapply your sunscreen.  If you are active and sweating, you should reapply it every two hours.

A good home skin care regimen will help prevent breakouts.  Be sure to use the appropriate cleanser daily.  Moisturizing helps prevent the skin from overproducing oil.  Always follow up with sunscreen.  Oil-free sunscreens are especially good for people prone to break outs.. Exfoliation helps reduce dead skin and keep pores unclogged.
