Summer Skin Cravings: Prepare Your Skin for the Heat
Summer heat brings a lot of excitement as we head outdoors, see friends and family more often and our moods are boosted with sunny, warm weather. Meanwhile, our skin is being exposed more than ever to environmental stressors and we tend to notice changes in our skin.
Naturally, our skin needs a bit of a hand while navigating through the summer season as we keep the excitement going. Though the air doesn’t feel as dry, and it may feel as if your skin doesn’t need a boost but it always needs a change with each season.
From hydration to protection and more we have all the areas that you need to focus on to keep your skin glowing and healthy all summer long.
Boost Hydration
When it comes to hydrating your skin, this should actually be a focus year-round. This may be well known to everyone, but oftentimes hydration can fall to the side when the summer begins. The problem with this? The summer season actually dries out the skin way more than you could imagine.
From sun exposure to air conditioning, to saltwater beaches and chlorine-filled pools moisture levels are constantly being pulled out from your skin. With this happening, your skin can become itchy, dull and you could notice darker eye circles.
The key to avoiding this? Keep up with your hydration routine! By using deeply hydrating products like the Diamond Contour Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Complete Complexion Treatment in the morning to hydrate (and protect!) and finish the day by using the Diamond Contour Collagen Boosting Hydration Créme at night, to replenish some of the hydration lost and wake up with a glowing complexion.
Want to enhance hydration even further? Dr. Kaplan always recommends including the Cellular Rejuvenating Concentrate to keep the skin on your face intensely hydrated all summer long.
Focus on Body Care
It’s important to remember that it’s not just your face that needs some extra care during the summer season. With the skin on our bodies more exposed during the summer, it’s essential to give it the extra boost of hydration, protection and beyond. Because our bodies are less exposed during other seasons, these areas of our skin are more prone to dehydration, dryness and damage.
Using the brand new Diamond Contour Insta-Glow Gommage Body Peel you can give your body an instant boost. Sloughing off dead skin cells, this unique formula hydrates skin while leaving you with more radiant, summer-ready skin all over your body.
If you find your hands also easily dry out, Dr. Kaplan’s incredible Diamond Contour Intensive Anti-Aging Hand Treatment will keep your hands hydrated, and bright throughout the summer and beyond.
Always Protect
What’s a summer skincare article without reminding you to protect your skin in the summer (and year-round of course)? With those pesky UV Rays bursting down from the sun in all directions, keeping your skin protected is just as important as everything else.
Our new Diamond Contour Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Complete Complexion Treatment is a powerful formula that hydrates, and also protects your skin from UV Rays. It comes in four different shades: Non-Tinted, Light Tint, Medium tint and Deep Tint so you can choose your own path when it comes to protection. The all-in-one product also works to smooth fine lines and wrinkles while making your skin look more radiant and bright.
Just remember, you can’t forget lip protection! The skin on your lips is very thin, leaving it very vulnerable during the summer season. Luckily, our Perfect Pout Lip Balm and Perfect Pout Lipstick both have SPF 30 to keep your lips protected, hydrated and healthy all summer long.
Remove & Refresh
With different environmental stressors penetrating our skin and dehydration being such an issue in the summer, it’s important to regularly exfoliate and refresh the skin with a gentle formula. By doing this, your skin will be left feeling softer, refreshed and brighter than ever before.
Using the award-winning Diamond Contour Supercharged 1-Minute Daily Facial will give your skin this feeling all summer long. Using ingredients like pineapple and papaya enzymes your skin is gently polished and refined by lifting dead skin cells away to make room for new cells to emerge.
Refresh your skin with the skin-transforming Cellular Rejuvenating Concentrate, a serum that lifts and firms skin up to 68% in as little as two weeks. Filled with patented peptides and antioxidants along with both high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, this treatment is a powerful addition to your daily routine.
What about your lips? The Perfect Pout Lip Mask is an incredibly gentle formula that uses gel cream technology to exfoliate flaky skin on your lips while nourishing and hydrating with hyaluronic acid.
