Your Skin In Summer

A lot of people want to get the perfect summer tan, by doing this a lot of people forget to actually take care of their skin and actually damage it with some of the methods they use to get a tan. Looking after your skin all year round is important, in the summer there are a few more things that you have to think about. 

1.  Wear Sun-cream- when people want to tan they tend to just jump out in the sun with nothing on, this just increases your chance of getting servery burnt which is highly dangerous. Even when it seems cloudy it's always a good shout to put on sun-cream just in case as you can still get burnt. 

2. Avoid being in the sun midday- if it's possible it's better to seek shade during midday as this is when the sun is at its highest point and you're more likely to get burnt. 

3. Protect your lips- wear lip balm with some for, of SPF factor in to protect the delicate skin that's around your lips and keep reapplying every few hours I like to use the Nivea one which is SPF 30 which to me as someone who burns easily is a good factor to have. (I'd avoid using oil based lip products as in the sun you'll just essentially be cooking your lips. 

4. Moisturise!- the heat will dry out your skin which if you do get burnt or you do begin go tan will just cause your skin to peal, which you do want to avoid, so make sure you moisturise. Also apply a moisturising after-sun at the end of the day, even if it doesn't appear that your body has necessarily burn as sun burn can take a couple of hours to develop. 

5. Keep hydrated- this one is not only fir your skin but for your entire body and physical health, keep regularly drinking water and remember to actually drink water as your body needs than more then any other drink.  

Remember to look after your skin, you only get one in a life time it's really important that you take care of it.
