Summer Skin Care

In the Australian summer, the first thing we all must do is to protect ourselves and our children from the sun. We cannot take this for granted. Skin Cancer is Australia's number 1 cancer and we can easily protect ourselves from it. Find yourself a good sunscreen and use it! Not just occasionally, but whenever you are spending time outside. Become a hat person. It is worth going out and investing in a hat that you will feel good in and will be happy to wear. Then wear it. Cover up when you are in the sun, dress sensibly for hot sunny days without over exposing your skin to the sun. After being in the sun, don't forget to Nourish your skin, with Botáni Nourishing Body Oil, to rehydrate it.

Saying all that, you still need some sunlight on your skin for Vitamin D production, just choose the times wisely. Having Breakfast (before 10) outside would do the trick, or spend some time late afternoon (after 3pm) outside.

Hydration is very important in Summer, to keep your skin and the rest of you feeling and looking fresh. Drink plenty of water; don't wait until you are thirsty, keep some with you at all times. Instead of buying bottled water all the time, why not buy a good quality bottle that you can refill, in no-time it will save you money and you'll have a nice classy bottle. Don't let yourself get to the point of being thirsty, drink often. Keep you Botáni Soothing Facial Mist in your purse, to spray to keep your face cool and hydrated on those hot dry days.

Exfoliation will help to give your skin a healthy glow during Summer. For your face try our Botáni Exfoliating Facial Cream. Use a loofah on the rest of your body to get rid of dead skin. If you've been in pants all winter and are starting to pull out the skirts and dresses, your skin will appreciate the extra effort and will be smooth and soft. Follow up with some Botáni Nourishing Body Oil and you'll be at your gorgeous best.

Summer time is the perfect time to concentration on eating good healthy foods. Fresh salads are the ideal selection for a light healthy diet and a little fish and you're on your way to a healthy lighter start to the new year. Fruits are also plentiful, keep them in the fridge or even the freezer for a cool snack or desert. Your whole body will be grateful and you skin will be clear and healthy.

Summer holidays are for relaxing, make sure you do! Take some time out to do just what you want to do. Sleep in; get plenty of rest and plenty of play. Rejuvenate your body and your skin will be radiant.
