10 Tips for Day Time Skin Care during summer – Free Guest Post

Summer is almost here! You can finally wear your favorite dresses, go to beach, and have fun. But, while you’re having fun, you shouldn’t neglect your skin. Hot temperatures, sun’s UV rays, and many other factors take their toll on your skin. Plus, skin tends to be oilier during the summer and to avoid the awkward shine on your face you have to take care of your skin properly. This article lists ten tips for daytime skincare that will help you protect your skin and improve its appearance this summer.


10 Tips for Day Time Skin Care during summer

1.     Protect your lips
This tip is number one for a reason – lips are largely overlooked in skincare during summer. But, just because there are no more cold temperatures, snow, and harsh winds, it doesn’t mean your lips don’t need protection. In fact, you should protect your lips throughout the year as the skin there is very delicate and prone to chapping or peeling. Sun’s damaging UV rays dry out lip tissue which is why you should purchase lip balm with SPF of at least 15.
2.     Choose right moisturizer
Seasons change and so should products you use. Moisturizers aren’t exceptions from this rule. Applying heavy moisturizer during summer is equally uncomfortable as wearing a winter coat in July. Summers are more humid and coupled with heavy and oily moisturizers your skin can look overly oily. It’s needless to mention this can clog your pores and cause acne breakouts. Since your skin needs moisturizer during summer as well, you should opt for products with water-based, light formula. For example, look for moisturizers that are described as milks or lotions.
3.     Use gentle soaps
Most dermatologists recommend avoiding soaps during winter. During winter your skin tends to be dry and using soaps could aggravate it and make it drier. Summer is a different story and experts explain soaps are beneficial to use. The heat and sweat during summer could lead to breakouts and bacteria breeding. Therefore, washing the oilier areas of your body with soaps can help your skin control oil production and keep your skin free of bumps. Don’t go for any soap you see, make sure the bar is gentle to your skin.
4.     Apply sunscreen religiously
Although it might seem obvious to you, applying sunscreen is something that most people do wrong. It’s needless to mention that a vast majority of people doesn’t apply sunscreen at all. However, prolonged exposure to UV rays without proper protection can lead to negative consequences such as fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, and many other skin conditions.
Importance of sunscreen goes beyond preventing sunburns, it also:
       Prevents hyperpigmentation
       Reduces appearances of blotchiness
       Slows down appearance of saggy and wrinkly skin
That’s not all, the Journal of Clinical Oncology study conducted by Adele C. Green and the research group of the University of Queensland in Australia discovered that applying sunscreen regularly prevents melanoma.
Here are some tips for applying sunscreen:
       Use a sunscreen of SPF30 or higher
       Apply sunscreen about 15 to 30 minutes before you go out
       Most adults need at least one ounce of sunscreen to fully cover all exposed areas of the body
       Don’t forget your neck, ears, face, legs, and tops of your feet
       Reapply sunscreen every two hours.
5.     Use a face mist
If you’re going to spend a day on the beach then you should bring a face mist and keep it in your ice chest. Face mists are rich in antioxidants and along with cooling effect they also help strengthening the skin’s outer layer. It’s because antioxidants attack free radicals and prevent any further damage to the skin.
6.     Take a cold shower
You’re home from the beach and decide to take a shower. Instead of hot shower that could dry out your skin, cold shower will keep your skin unoccluded thus decreasing acne breakouts. This is particularly beneficial for all of you who have to deal with acne every summer.
7.     Don’t forget protecting your eyes
Skin around your eyes lacks sebaceous glands which is why signs of aging appear there first. During hot summer days, you have to pay special attention to protecting delicate skin around your eyes. Here are a few tips:
       Wear sunglasses with complete UV protection
       Avoid rubbing your eyes
       Wear hats and sunglasses
       Apply moisturize in area around your eyes and make sure you apply sunscreen thoroughly at that area as well
       Seek shade.
During night, apply eye cream.
8.     Choose right cleanser
Cleanser is one of the most important parts of skincare routine. It removes dirt and debris from your skin’s layers and it improves absorption of other skincare products. That’s why it’s important to choose the right product. During summer, you should go for gentle cleansers and make sure they don’t contain alcohol. Cleansers that contain alcohol could aggravate your acne breakouts. When looking for best cleanser for face you should make sure the product is formulated for your skin type and that it doesn’t contain irritating or “heavy” ingredients.
Nowadays, you can buy cleansers with citrus notes for summer. They are packed with Vitamin C which is a potent antioxidant.
9.     Use a toner
Toner is probably the most underestimated skincare product. If you don’t have the habit of using toner, then you should definitely start. Toner removes final traces of debris that cleanser might have missed and it keeps your skin cool. Ideally, you should go for toners that don’t contain alcohol. For example, you can opt for rose water because its natural cooling properties are ideal for summertime.
10.                        Include antioxidants
Antioxidants are the key in summer daytime skincare. As mentioned above, they destroy free radicals; which means they will reduce damage caused by UV rays. That’s why, when buying skincare products for summer, you should make sure they contain potent antioxidants such as Vitamin C, Vitamin E, green tea, coenzyme Q10 etc.
Conclusion
Daytime skincare routine during summer revolves around opting for lighter versions of moisturizers, cleansers and other products and buying items with antioxidant ingredients. It’s important to apply sunscreen religiously as well as to protect delicate skin around eyes and on your lips. With gentle formulas your skin can be protected, smooth, and acne-free this summer. 

5 Vitamins for Glowing Skin – Beauty Tips For Skin

Who doesn’t want flawless skin? When we see people with spotless, glowing skin we often ask ourselves what is their secret. Our skins are the largest and most visible organs of our bodies and those with amazing skins understand well that health of your skin is not just dependent upon what you put on it, but also what you eat. We often take care of our fiber and protein intake but what about vitamins?
How To Have Smooth Skin? Make vitamins your best friends. Different vitamins have different ways of serving our skin. They maintain the suppleness and youth of our skin. They keep wrinkles from forming. They work as antioxidant. They keep your skin moisturized and even protect you against sun damage. However, not all vitamins serve the same purpose. Vitamin infused serums and potions have become very popular in the past few years. Ladies who have started using them regularly have seen amazing results.
Here are five vitamins which are very beneficial for your skin.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is an active ingredient in many anti-ageing products. It is amazing for acne prone skin, reduces acne and also clears the skin of acne marks, pigmentations, dark spots and blemishes. It also fights early signs of ageing such as dark spots and fine lines. It works like an anti-oxidant to clarify skin and rejuvenate it.   Vitamin A infused night creams are easily available. It is best to use such creams in the night. Some natural sources of vitamin A are carrot, sweet potatoes, asparagus, broccoli, papaya, and grapefruits. Sometimes the tropical application of vitamin A creams might make your skin a little sensitive so it is a good idea to start this treatment with 2- 3 nights a week and gradually increase it to daily application.
Vitamin E
This is another vitamin which is anti-ageing. The way vitamin E works is that it is fat soluble and gives intense moisturizing to your skin, nails and hair. It is an anti oxidant and reverses damage caused to your skin by free radicals, UV rays, and other toxins which get deposited in your body by smoking and poor dietary choices. It helps in maintaining youth of your skin and keeps it supple. You will find vitamin E is an essential ingredient in sun blocks and night creams for the simple reason that it prevents wrinkle in forming and keeping skin moist and supple. Apart from creams, dietary sources of vitamin E include fish oil, kiwi, leaks, avocado, broccoli, coconut oil, almond oil and olive oil.
Vitamin K
Very few people know what vitamin K can do for your skin. It has become a total rave when Korean beauty products became popular. Vitamin K reduces marks by bruising and lightens under eye circles. It is a long kept secret of the Korean and Japanese women of their youthful eyes. Usually, the dark circles which are bluish or purple in appearance are caused when fine capillaries under the eyes break and blood leaks through them. Vitamin K helps in their repair and breaks small clots. Vitamin K also helps in other skin conditions such as: spider veins, stretch marks. Taking vitamin K orally heals skin from within. Good sources of vitamin K are all leafy green vegetables and animal sources such as grass-fed butter and egg yolks.
Vitamin B
Redness and skin rashes often occur in the dry and dehydrated skin. Usually, dehydrated skin lacks ceramides and essential fatty acids, so irritants attack the outermost protective layer of your skin and make it appear blotchy and flushed.  Vitamin B hydrates such skin, reduces pigmentation and also fights skin condition called rosacea which is over sensitivity of the dry damaged skin. Vitamin B rich creams and lotions are commonly available and are very mild. They are suitable for sensitive skin. There are eight types of vitamin B, so in order to pack up on the vitamin B deficiency, it is better to include a vitamin B complex in your daily vitamins.
Vitamin C
Most citrus fruits, pineapples, kiwis, bell peppers and spring produces such as kale, peas, cabbage and spinach are all vitamin C enriched. Vitamin C helps in keeping your skin spotless and fights any signs of ageing such as discoloration, pigmentation, and formation of fine lines. Vitamin C along with E is one of the most popularly used vitamins in serums and creams. It helps in the reversal of sun damage and damage caused by free radicals which happen with ageing. You will see positive results after using this vitamin; however remember to be a little patient before you get desired results. Although vitamin C helps in renewing dull and ageing skin it is a good idea to start using any product rich in vitamin C from your late twenties and early ageing.

You will see positive changes in your skin once you add these vitamins to your skin care regimen. However, the results might take a while to appear. Another thing to remember here is that as they say prevention is better than cure, start taking care of your skin from an early age so you can preserve its youth and glow.

Kale, spinach and lettuce are your best bet for a great green smoothie because these are rich in calcium, magnesium, Vitamin K, zinc, iron, etc. You can use only one green vegetable if you want, and spice up the taste with some bananas and coconut water.

If you really do not like vegetables or simply want to have different options for your smoothies, blended wonders of fruit and berries can help your body get rid of all the toxins, keep the skin looking young and even give you some additional protection against the sun. You can combine your favorite fruits like banana, kiwi, mango, grapefruit, oranges, strawberries, apples, etc. to create different taste every time you want to make this tasty skin-improving juice.

Moreover, mixing it all with yoghurt can improve your bowel movement as well which all contributes to cleaner and brighter skin.

Nuts and seeds

Nuts and seeds are full of antioxidants that protect the skin from damaging sun rays and any possible inflammation.

Combining nuts and seeds with bananas is a smoothie with great nutritional value and the taste is amazing, so try making these on the mornings when you desperately need that extra boost of energy without having to experience hunger too soon.

Combining nuts and seeds with bananas is a smoothie with great nutritional value and the taste is amazing, so try making these on the mornings when you desperately need that extra boost of energy without having to experience hunger too soon.


Dark chocolate

When you feel extra tired and gloomy, add some bits of dark chocolate to your smoothie to improve your general mood and hydrate your skin. If you have not known already, dark chocolate is a great antioxidant and it helps the blood circulation. With good circulation, all nutrients from smoothies will be better absorbed and distributed, which will lead to the improved elasticity of the skin and collagen production.


Coconut water

Sometimes you need that extra ingredient to make the smoothie perfect but you do not feel like adding yoghurt. In these cases, coconut water is the great choice because it will give you a great burst of hydration. This is especially important when the weather is hot and drinking a cool smoothie made of coconut water, some carrots, strawberries and mangos will make you so refreshed that it will definitely show on the surface.

Get your body working properly and your skin glowing with its health by incorporating tasty smoothies in your diet. You can drink them in between the meals or as a replacement for breakfast or dinner – simply listen to your body because it will tell you what suits you the best.

How to choose skin cleansers according to your skin type

We
have different skin types of surfaces and there is no way we will use the same
skin cleansers. The skin types include; dry, normal, oily and sensitive skins.
All these characters react differently to the cleaners making it impossible to
use the same filters on them. You may use cleansers for oily skin cleansers on
a dry skin and cause more damage to your dry skin. This is because products for
the oily skin are designed to absorb excess oils from the skin. The following
are the skin types and how to choose their treatment products;
1.
Oily skin
Oily
skin as the name suggests characterized by excess oils on it. It is more prone
to acne and the skin breakouts that result from excess fats in the body. Most
products created for this skin type are meant to reduce the excess oils in it.
Exfoliating substances that that cleans the skin pores is the best choice for
this kind of a skin. Dirt clogs the skin pores hence stimulating the production
of the excess oils in the skin. The clogged pores are one of the leading causes
of the skin breakouts that occur on the oily skin.  The multi-action face wash is among the best
skin cleansers for the oily skin. It treats an oily skin by breaking down the
excess fats accumulated on the skin. Using this product twice a day makes it
more efficient in its function

2. Dry
skin
Dry
skin can be very tricky to treat than any other skin type. Most of the
cleansers available in the market absorb the skin moisture or strip from the
skin its natural oils. These products are more effective when used on oily
skin, but exactly opposite happens to the dry skin.  Jack black deep cleanser is purposely
designed for dry skin. It cleanses the face without stripping the skin its natural
oils. It is the glycolic acid in it that make it great for dry skin because it
has a mechanism that can be used to clean the skin pores without stripping it
the natural oils. It is always advisable to moisturize dry skin after any
cleansing because the products designed for it are not as perfect. What is even
worse is the fact that use of only water can still cause the skin to dry.
Therefore chose a cleansing agent that cleanses as well as promote
moisturizing.

3.
Healthy skin
If you
are blessed to have the normal skin, beautifying the skin may not be such a
stressful task after all. This is because you already have the beauty that most
people are looking for. It is just too bad that most of them never appreciate
the fact and hence still go for the effective beauty products that could damage
the skin. Use a cleansing product with a certified product such that it
cleanses the skin and at the same time moisturizes. Jack Black Pure contain the
necessary ingredients for a normal skin. Chamomile in it prevents irritation
and redness of the skin.

4.
Sensitive skin
Different
surfaces react differently to the cleaners used on them. Some skins remain okay
when different substances are used. However, there are those that react
negatively to some substances and sometimes cause skin breakouts. Therefore,
before considering a cleansing agent try it on a smaller part of your skin fast
to establish the reaction. DTRT foam is the B
est Cleanser for any sensitive skin. If
you discover that your skin is not sensitive to it, try any other skin products
but make sure you first test on a smaller part of the skin.





Conclusion
The
sure way of choosing the most suitable product for your skin is through first
discovering your skin type. Once you the type, you can comfortably accept the
recommended product. Choose a product that works against the negativities of
the skin and complements its strengths. For instance, oily skin requires a
product that absorbs the excess oils, dry skin calls for a product that
moisturizes and the normal skin needs an intermediate product that does not
complement any side.
