Summer is here and I couldn’t be happier! However with the hot, sticky heat it’s a challenge to keep our skin happy. Here are a few little tricks of the trade that you can add to your moisturizing routine to give you the best summer ever!

This one isn’t really a “beauty trick” necessarily but it will save you from wrinkles and age spots in the future. Don’t apply your SPF too quickly or you will miss spots, not to mention you are supposed to apply 30 minutes prior to going out. Sunscreen needs time to soak in.

If your arms and legs are feeling dry and scaly you might make the mistake of only applying an SPF filled moisturizer in the morning. That’s not a bad start but for dewy skin apply in the evening as well. If your skin is feeling dehydrated it may be due to those late night alcoholic drinks. Even if you aren’t a alcohol drinker you need to drink plenty of water. Flip flops and sandals may be the cause of your hard, cracked heels. Try a foot specific moisturizing product that contains oils and shea butter ingredients. After applying the lotion slips some socks on and leave them on overnight.
