Short sleeves. Short skirts. Short shorts. Yep, summer truly is the season that requires us to show off our skin.
However, when our skin is constantly on show, it tends to get dehydrated. (You can blame this on both the drying effects of the sun and our love for applying fake tan during summer.) But guess what? We’ve got just the trick to combat thirsty skin during the warmer months…
3 WAYS TO GET SOFT, HEALTHY SKIN IN SUMMER
#1. Wash your body with a smart body wash.
And by smart, I mean a product that doesn’t just wash away dirt – a product that helps nourish your skin, while also helping to prevent premature skin ageing caused by excessive sun exposure.
Try:BABOR SPA Balancing Cashmere Wood Soothing Shower Milk. This ingenious shower milk uses plant oils (read: argan oil, sunflower oil and almond oil) to hydrate and protect your skin, while its vitamin E neutralises free radicals before they have a chance to damage your cells.
#2. Gently exfoliate at least once a week.
Sometimes people go a bit nuts when it comes to exfoliating. They often think the harder they scrub, the better it is for skin. They couldn’t be more wrong. A gentle exfoliator that sloughs off dead skin cells while also injecting your skin with moisturiser is ideal to help prevent stripping natural oils and damaging your skin.
Try:BABOR SPA Balancing Cashmere Wood Soothing Oil Peeling. This sugar-oil exfoliant tenderly reveals fresh, supple skin while also soothing it with almond, argan and macadamia nut oils. Its Vitamin E and champagne pear stem cells will also boost your skin’s anti-ageing defence mechanism.
#3. Moisturise in an effective manner.
Slapping on any old moisturiser at any old time will not do your skin much good, unfortunately. Your skin most readily accepts moisture when it’s damp, so it’s best to always apply a nourishing body product straight after showering.
Try:BABOR SPA Balancing Cashmere Wood Soothing Body Oil. Unlike traditional moisturiser, this body oil will seep deeper into your skin, allowing your cells to quickly soak up its hydrating almond, Abyssinian and argan oils. This means smooth, supple skin for you, both instantly and long-term.
