It’s the season of sun, sea, sand, and a gorgeous summer glow! Taking care of your skin is important year round but with Summer fast approaching it’s time to check in with your skin and body care routine to ensure you have glowing hydrated skin. Here in Yamba we have a beautiful Summer season, long warm days and plenty of sunshine to enjoy our stunning coast but we also have an incredibly harsh climate with humidity, intense heat and the 2nd highest UV index in the world. All of this can really take a toll on our skin so our team of professional dermal therapists have put together some tips to keep your skin healthy and glowing over Summer.
Exfoliate- An accumulation of dead skin cells can result in dry, flakey skin and an all-over glow can’t be achieved without a good exfoliant! With our body more exposed in summer it is even more important to give up your body care routine. The coconut sugar rub by Pure Fiji is a firm fav in the salon. This natural exfoliant will renew and revitalize dull, dry and dehydrated skin . Fresh sugar cane crystals containing naturally occurring AHA’s gently buff away dead skin cells, polish your skin clean and unclog pores. In a blend of cold pressed virgin coconut oil and exotic nut extracts to nourish and seal in moisture, it is like bringing a spa treatment home! The sugar can get a little messy so we recommend using it in the shower and then rinsing with warm water.
Implement dry body brushing- Adding a dry body brush routine to your body care has endless benefits year round. Dry brushing your skin each day encourages detoxification, stimulates circulation and promotes soft, smooth skin. The skin is the largest elimination organ, responsible for up to 25% of the body’s detoxification each day. Dry brushing encourages the process by stimulating the blood and lymphatic system just beneath the surface of the skin. It is a simple and all natural addition to add to your routine.
Keep your skin hydrated- You may refer an ultra nourishing body butter or light weight lotion but what ever your preference we recommend appling your body moisturiser or oil straight after your shower. Applying to clean, warm skin will help your skin to absorb the hydration. We have many options available including Pure fiji body butter, hydrating lotions and oils.
Get your skin glowing with a self tan- We all love the look of bronzed legs but we also know the dangers of tanning naturally and the only way to safely get tanned skin for summer is to fake tan. Our extensive range of sunescape products have something for every skin type including DHA instant tan that allows you to wash your tan off after the event! Perfect for those that are a little hesitant to commit to self tanning at home.
We hope these tips help you to achieve glowing skin this summer! You can shop our range of body care and tanning products via our online store.
