April 19th 2012 08:06
1. Uneven skin tone and discoloration
HOW AND WHY? Incorrect application of sunscreen
Sunscreen application should not be limited to just a pea sized portion unlike other creams and lotions, as they say “the more the merrier”. There’s no “too much” when it comes to sunscreen, not just the SPF strength that matters but also the regularity of the application
Store a light weight sunscreen on your beach bag when you tend to sweat more. Sunscreen is usually the main blockade of the sun’s UV rays and will likely be windswept by swear which may exposed some parts of your skin to harm which causes these uneven discoloration and patches on your face and body. After your toner and moisturizer then comes the sunscreen last.
IMPROVEMENT: If you sweat so much or engaged in physical activities on the beach, always look for a water resistant or waterproof sunscreen formula. It’s definitely icky to apply or even reapply sunscreen to a sweaty face or body but it’s a must! You can also try reverting to primer with SPF instead of makeup base products.
2. Brittle Hair
HOW AND WHY? The SUN
Protecting our scalp from heat on a daily basis is one of the main purpose of our hair. Imagine what it endures daily which could lead to brittleness, dryness, coarseness and even split ends.
IMPROVEMENT: Shampoos which contains keratin and amino acids and deep conditioning your hair at least once a week. Doing this won’t just help your hair to resist and lessen the damaging effects caused by the sun but also helps minimize breakage issue. There are several shampoos specially formulated for summer, you can take your pick from wide array. When going out, always wear a hat or use umbrella because that way, you are also protecting your scalp from getting toasted.
3. Dry Skin
HOW AND WHY: Hot Shower, Exposure to Air Conditioner, Chlorine and Sunburn
Dry and scaly skin can be acquired when you make use of hot shower specially this summer because such routine will rob your skin of its natural oils. Itchy, dry and flaky skin can also be a result of staying in air conditioned room. Swimming on the other hand can also dry out your skin due to its high chlorine substance.
IMPROVEMENT: Double the moisture when summer begins. It’s the time that there is too much heat around and moisturizing is much needed. Keep lots of water or juices handy and a lightweight lotion with ingredients like cocoa butter and aloe. These ingredients helps irritated skin and locks in moisture. Choose heavier cream at night and exfoliate weekly to get rid dead skin cells. Its just simple basic summer skincare.
