Get Your Skin Summer Ready

With summer now here, people are showing extra skin. Get summer-ready by treating your skin for intense summer rays. Here are some tips on how to take great care of your skin that are easy, safe and effective.

Smooth and Sculpt Your Body

Dimpled or loose skin plagues many of us, and that certainly doesn’t help when it’s bikini season. Ashley Black’s Fascia Blaster ($89) can resolve these problems quickly. Fascia is a connective tissue that covers the body. Over time, it can become knotted and constrict the blood supply to the tissues, resulting in dimpled, saggy skin. There’s no need to worry. You can smooth these tangles with this nifty tool and not only eliminate cellulite, but also bring blood flow back to the skin, effectively increasing collagen and elastin formation. 

Banish Bacne

Congested skin is the last thing you want when you’re wearing swimsuits or strapless/backless clothing. If you’re acne prone, getting regular skin clearing treatments along with Blue LED Light Therapy is helpful at killing the p-acnes bacteria that causes acne. For home care, use a medicated cleanser with alpha hydroxy acids, such as the Rosemary Herbal Wash by Rhonda Allison ($34). This product increases cell turnover and removes excess oil, dirt and bacteria from the skin to keep it smooth and blemish-free.

Hydrate

With the heat of summer weather, it’s easy to get dehydrated due to excessive sweating. Staying hydrated is the secret to clear, healthy, radiant skin. It’s also the best remedy for dark circles. Your skin is made of 64% water and needs to be replenished in order to increase blood flow to maintain clarity, elasticity and plumpness. If you’re looking for the crème de la crème of anti-aging hydration, invest in an ionizing water purifying pitcher such as the Turapur Pitcher ($39) that infuses hydrogen molecules into your water to replenish and detoxify every cell in the body. 

Exfoliate for Glowing Skin

The key to luminous skin is keeping dead skin cells exfoliated so light reflects off the skin’s surface. Using gentle enzymes, sugar scrubs or body exfoliating gloves two to three times per week is a great way to revitalize your skin and create a nice canvas for self tanners to absorb evenly. For the face, Polish Enzyme Firming Mask by Osmosis Pur Medical ($50) is effective, yet gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin types.

Say Goodbye to Brown Spots

A downside of having fun in the sun is getting unwanted pigmentation. Even with sun protection, some UV rays can wreak havoc on your skin. IPL laser treatments are a quick and effective way to reduce uneven pigmentation, but for an overnight treatment that visibly erases sun spots and won’t cause sun sensitivity, try Bright Skin Overnight Correcting Cream by Éminence Organics ($64).
