Summertime is sunny and carefree.  That’s what you want your skin to be too!  It’s much simpler than you realize.  Follow these quick steps for a glowy summer complexion.

Summer can be a great time for your skin…if you treat it right.  While the increased humidity may keep dry spots from popping up, the sun can wreak havoc.  The right care can keep your complexion fabulous.  Use a mild cleanser.  You can choose to follow up with a toner or not.  Make sure it does not contain alcohol, as that can irritate facial skin.  Follow up with a moisturizer containing an SPF of no less than 15.  Reapply your moisturizer every 3-4 hours to maintain your protection.  If you’re concerned about turning your makeup to sludge, opt instead to carry a spray-on sunblock in your purse.  Another alternative is a compact that has an SPF.  Mineral based powders contain natural sunblock.

A great little trick to keep skin radiant is to add a scrub containing alpha-hydroxy acids into your routine 2-3 times a week.  It will clear your pores and keep skin luminous.  Now get out and enjoy your summer glow!
