Fun In the Sun & Healthy Skin

 

There are so many benefits from the sun and quite honestly, without it, we could not live. However, UV rays can be harmful to the health of our skin and that is why a broad-spectrum sunscreen protects you from both UVA and UVB rays. The result of exposure to those harmful rays can cause premature aging, wrinkles, age spots, burns, and of greater concern, skin cancer. One mistake people often make is not reapplying sunscreen enough. Based on how your skin reacts to the sun and how much melanin you have, you should be reapplying sunscreen anywhere from every 20 minutes to every 2 hours…even when it’s cloudy! An oil-free sunscreen won’t clog pores and is ideal for people with acne-prone skin. There are so many affordable, lightweight, and oil-free sunscreens out on the market. Go find yours today!

Don’t Underestimate Antioxidants 

Antioxidants are ingredients that help protect your skin from oxidative damage caused by free radicals and environmental aggressors like UV and pollution. With daily use, they visibly lessen the signs of aging and calm skin inflammations, allowing the skin to repair itself and reverse the damage free radicals can do to the skin. Some of the best antioxidants for your skin are Vitamin C, Niacin, Vitamin E, Mangosteen, CoQ10, and Resveratrol. Each one of these antioxidants has specific benefits and when combined can have incredible results in healing the skin.

Your Skin Will Let You Know When It Needs More Moisture

It might be time to switch up your winter moisturizing routine. In the winter, the air is much drier, and our skin requires extra hydration. However, in the summer months, there is more humidity in the air. Applying more product than needed can compromise the skin by irritating it or at best making your skin “feel” uncomfortable. Moisturizer is meant to balance the skin’s natural oils – applying too much, especially in the summer, will lead to a greasy finish on the skin.  

Remember, more is never better! 

Avoid Heavy Makeup 

Heavy makeup prevents the skin from breathing. Mixing that with heat and humidity, creates a perfect environment for acne and breakouts, not to mention premature aging. Heavy foundations are also more likely to melt and slip off on hot, sweaty skin. Instead, opt for water-based face products. Water-based foundations are extremely lightweight and won’t get trapped in your pores. They are typically more hydrating and give the skin a natural finish, which is important when trying to perfect a flawless, no-makeup look in the summer. GINAMARIE’s 2 x Award-Winning Aloe Foundation is a great water-based option that also contains aloe to help improve skin conditions and calm any irritation.
