5 Summer Skincare Tips That Will Save Your Skin!

While we all know the basic skincare tips, like wearing sunscreen and staying hydrated, there are many more ways you can keep your skin luminous despite the hot summer weather, just add a few of these to your daily skincare routine!

• Cold Shower. While cold showers are always dreaded, hot showers after sun exposure can further dry skin. If you turn the temperature down a few notches the cooler temperature helps keep the skin unoccluded, decreasing acne breakouts.
• Red Wine. This tip is a lot easier to swallow than the cold showers. Though white wine is refreshing in the summer, red wine is healing. Resveratrol is a naturally occurring phenol found in the skin of red grapes that has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Salut!
• Powder your Nose. This may sound old-fashioned, but it’s an excellent time saver in the summer. Not only can it add extra coverage to protect your skin from the sun, but it also saves you the hassle of washing your face and redoing your makeup every time you need to reapply sunscreen.
• Eat your SPF. There’s some evidence that oral intake of vitamins C and E together can reduce the sunburn reaction. So a salad with vitamin C rich citrus, berries, tomato, and vitamin E rich nuts is just the sort of SPF meal you should eat to protect your skin.
• Minimal makeup. You don’t need to eliminate your makeup routine entirely, but if you limit the amount you use in the summer your skin will thank you! Your skin will be able to breathe better and your pores won’t get as clogged by the sweat, dirt, and makeup combination so common in hot weather.
