It’s almost Summer, which means the days are getting longer and we’re spending a lot more time outside in the sunshine. Unfortunately for your skin, all that time spent in the sun comes at a cost, often times leaving your skin dry or if you slacked on the sunscreen, sunburned. But worry not! These three products will save your skin and keep in tip top shape this Summer.

We couldn’t talk about Summer skincare without mentioning sunscreen! Not only does sunscreen protect your skin from the harmful aging effects of the sun (think lines and wrinkles, yikes!), with so many formulas in the market, today’s sunscreens do more than just keep you safe from UVB/UVA rays. If you suffer from dry skin and need a little extra hydration, for example, go for a hydrating sunscreen like IMAGE’s Prevention+ Hydrating Sunscreen. Whatever your specific needs are, we guarantee there’s a sunscreen for you! So no excuses. Protect your skin with sunscreen and enjoy your Summer to the fullest!

Aside from again skin, another side effect of spending time in the sun is dry skin. While you can always hydrate skin with a moisturizer, your skin will absorb hydration better once you remove the flaky dead skin hanging around on your skin’s surface. However, since you’re going to be in the sun, you want to avoid harsh exfoliators and opt instead for a gentle, yet effective exfoliator that will get rid of dry skin without leaving it stripped of oils and tight. So toss those beads and seeds based exfoliators out the window and use a gentle one that gently buffs away dead skin with fruit enzymes instead like IMAGE’s Iluma Intense Brightening Exfoliating Powder.

Exfoliating your skin and not following that up with moisturizer is like putting air into your bike tires and forgetting to screw on the top of the air pump. So don’t waste that smooth exfoliated skin that is ready to soak up moisture! And while we usually always remember to put moisturizer on our face, the rest of your body needs hydration too, especially in the Summer months when it’s exposed a lot more to the sun. Our current favorite body lotion is IMAGE’s latest release, the Vital C Hydrating Hand & Body Lotion, which not only smells citrus-y and delicious, it has the perfect consistency and keeps your skin soft and hydrated all day long!
