Summer along the Surf Coast means regular trips to the beach which can take its toll on your skin without proper care and protection. Here are our tips to help you enjoy summer while looking after your skin and body…
1. SPF
Wearing SPF will not only protect your skin from the harmful UV rays, it also lowers your risk of skin cancer, prevents premature ageing of the skin and will help in creating an even skin tone. For optimal protection, re-apply your sunscreen every 3 hours. Quick tip – don’t forget to apply on your hands while you drive!
Using a SPF 30+ broad spectrum sunscreen like the Pevonia Hydrating Sunscreen, which will keep your skin glowing and healthy, while protecting you from the sun.
2. Exfoliate The summer sun can damage our skin and cause it to become dry, dull and leathery if we don’t look after it. A great way to keep your skin healthy and glowing is to regularly exfoliate both your face and body. This will prevent your pores becoming clogged from dead skin build up, reducing the amount of ingrown hairs on your body and giving you that fresh glow! See our blog, Let’s Talk about Exfoliating… to find out which exfoliant is best for your skin.

Staying well hydrated will maintain the skin’s barrier function, increasing protection from the effects of summer.
Our busy lives can often cause us to forget about our water intake, so here are some tips to make drinking water regularly a little easier:
Buy yourself a drink bottle that you like – it sounds silly, but if you have a bottle that you like to keep with you, you’re more likely to sip on your water throughout the day
Drink a glass of water after every bathroom break
Swap to herbal tea or add infusions such as fresh berries, lemon, lime or mint, if you’re feeling bored of plain water
