Summer Skin Care Tips For Radiant Skin

• When warm weather arrives, it's only natural to want to get out and enjoy the sun's glorious rays.
• But as much as we love the appearance of sun-kissed skin, it's also important to protect your skin to keep it looking healthy and youthful.
• Make sun protection part of your daily routine. It's one of the best long-term investments you'll ever make.
• UVA rays are strong year-round and UVB rays are more intense during mid-day, spring and summer.
• Wear moisturizing sunscreen on your face year-round, preferably with an SPF of 15 or higher.
• Choose a vitamin-enriched lotion that won't clog pores.  
• Want that summer glow without damaging your skin?
• A sunless tan is quick, easy and provides beautiful results. I recommend applying a sunless tanner one to three times a week, but this can vary from person to person.
• If you reapply too frequently - for example every day - the results may look unnatural.  
• It's important to remember another important step in keeping your skin in a tip-top shape: exfoliating.
• Whether it's before you apply a sunless tanner or after you've been dipping your toes in the pool, exfoliating helps produce a smoother surface and keeps your skin looking toned.
• Removing dead skin cells from the top layer of facial skin with a scrub cleanser not only gives a smooth surface for applying a sunless tanner, but also enhances the penetration of moisturizers.
• Follow your shower or bath with the application of a moisturizer, especially after you exfoliate.
• Use moisturizers specially designed for the body; they tend to have richer emollients.
• Spray moisturizers are particularly convenient to use on bare legs in the summer.  
• Finally, don't forget toning. Toners are an excellent way to remove residual dead skin cells, dirt, oil and makeup.
• In hot weather, try keeping a bottle of toner in your refrigerator and apply it to your neck, inside your wrists and inner ankles for an immediate cooling effect.
