Safeguard Your Skin
To look after your skin throughout the year in all seasons,
use these simple tips to safeguard your skin on the inside
and outside of your body:
Inside:
-
Drink water steadily throughout the day - at least two
litres. In hot weather you'll probably need more.
-
Increase your 'high water' food intake - salads, fruit
and vegetables.
-
Avoid dehydrating beverages such as alcohol, coffee and
traditional tea.
Outside:
-
Cleanse, tone and moisturize your skin both morning and
night to keep it in peak condition.
-
Don't take chances - burnt skin is damaged skin. During
the summer, get into the habit of applying a high SPF
sunscreen regularly.
-
Reapply sunscreen before and after swimming.
-
Between 11am and 3pm take extra care and stay inside or
within the shade to avoid the strongest sun of the day.
-
Spritz regularly throughout the day.
-
Choose loose, cotton, silk or linen clothing which allow
perspiration to evaporate naturally.
-
Wear a floppy hat to keep the heath off your head.
-
Finish off the day with a liberal application of after
sun cream - soothing aloe vera is most effective.
