SUMMER SKINCARE, SORTED

We all love the feel of sunshine on our skin, but warm weather can wreak havoc on it, we caught up with skincare brand Paula’s Choice to share their top tips to keep skin happy and healthy all summer long.

 

Bikinis

SAVE FACE

The delicate skin on our face requires sun protection every day of the year, but more so during summer. Using an SPF moisturiser is a great way to combine sun protection with a whole host of other skin benefits. Defence Moisturiser SPF 30 is ideal for all skin types protecting against UV rays, pollution and blue light while hydrating and brightening skin. If you have oily skin, try Resist Youth-Extending Daily Fluid SPF 50 – an ultra-lightweight moisturiser with high sun protection and a super-hydrating, non-greasy texture. Those with dry, sensitive skin may prefer a mineral sunscreen, which is less likely to irritate skin, such as Calm Hydrating Moisturiser SPF 30.

 

PROTECT YOUR BODY

Whether you’re wearing a swimsuit or a summer dress, it’s vital to protect all areas of exposed skin from UV rays – even on cloudy days. With a light, silky texture, Extra Care Non-Greasy Sunscreen SPF 50 doesn’t look or feel like a traditional sunscreen, yet provides a high level of sun protection as well as age-fighting antioxidants. It’s water-resistant too, making it ideal for outdoor activities. Don’t forget to protect your lips too with Lip Balm SPF 50, as the skin on your lips is thinner.

 

GET SMOOTH, SOFT LEGS

Shaving your legs is an easy and painless way to keep them hair-free, but it can lead to redness, bumps and ingrown hairs. Using a leave-on exfoliant with BHA (salicylic acid) will help calm irritated skin, reduce red bumps and remove built-up dead skin cells, for softer, smoother skin. Try Resist Weightless Body Treatment 2% BHA, which also helps with keratosis pilaris (hard, red bumps) on the arms and legs.

 BEAT ‘BACNE’

Having spots on your back can make you feel self-conscious about wearing bikinis and strappy summer tops. The best way to beat them is by using a targeted treatment directly on stubborn breakouts.  Clear Body Spray with 2% BHA has a spray action which makes it easy to treat hard-to-reach areas. For more stubborn spots, try 10% Azelaic Acid Booster . Don’t forget to protect your body afterwards by using SPF 30 or higher.

Following these tips will help your skin survive summer and ensure you look fabulous from top to toe!
