Summer And Facial Skin Care
Wednesday, February 1st, 2012Dry skin can have problems in both the winter and summer months. During winter the cold wind can strip you of your skin’s natural moisture, while summer can expose you to a variety of other harmful factors such as sun, salt water, and chlorinated water.
Exposure to UV radiation can be irritating because it tends to dry out the skin. Exposure to water is also a factor that can affect your skin. Ocean water, for example, contains high levels of salt that can dehydrate the skin while being submersed in pool water can expose your skin to chlorine, which in turn can cause irritation and rashes.
In order to avoid these problems you should make a few changes in your summer routine. Remember that treating a dry face is not just about looking good, but also about your bodies overall health. What does dry skin have to do with your body’s health? Facial dry skin is more prone to cracking, which increases the risk of bacteria entering your bloodstream and harming your health.
Moderate Your Exposure to the Sun
Everyone knows that summertime is all about tanning, but excess solar exposure can lead to major damage. In fact, most fair skinned people sunburn quite easily. Sunburns usually lead to dryness and subsequent peeling.
The skin begins to lose its protection. To prevent dry skin due to sun exposure, regulate your time in the sun. Wear protective clothing and use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more.
Summer Requires a Gentler Treatment
You should never use harsh soaps on dry skin. Look for products that do not contain fragrances or alcohol as they can irritate your skin. Since dry skin is also sensitive, it is a good idea that you avoid soaps, alcohol, and fragrances because they may cause irritation.
If you are out purchasing a body wash make sure that you find one that contains soothing ingredients such as oatmeal, licorice or Aloe Vera. Don’t forget that for your facial skin care routine to be effective, you need a cream cleanser and a creamy moisturizer. However, if your skin is considered really dry skin, then you should try using oil as a cleanser and moisturizer.
Reduce the Time you Spend in the Water
Long, hot showers can lead to really dry skin. Spending too much time in the pool can do the same thing. This is why it is important to take shorter showers with warm water and watch your time in the pool.
Try to apply a moisturizing lotion as soon as you wash off the chlorine from the pool or salt from the ocean. If this is not possible, towel off as much as possible. Don’t forget that when the excess water on your skin evaporates it also takes with it the moisture from your skin.
Keep a New Blade For women, summer is synonymous with shaving their legs which is why most women will shave more during summer than any other season. But, we all know that shaving can lead to irritation. To keep this from happening, it is advisable to use a fresh blade every time you shave.
If you want to keep your skin healthy it is important that you follow a regular anti aging skin care routine that contains soothing products. BIOSKINCARE is an excellent facial cleanser and natural skin care product that contains soothing biological ingredients, such as snail serum, which makes it ideal for all types of skin.
