Top Skincare Products for Summer
[column-group]
Especially in summer , the proper care can be even more important than in winter ! We want to protect our skin from all UV rays and feel refreshed for the day . Many tend to forget that the protection against UV radiation is also the best anti-aging agents ! In the sun or tanning beds you let your skin aging much faster. The most prominent sites for premature skin aging are generally the face , décolleté , forearms and hands.
That’s why you should particularly attach great importance to these points. Unfortunately I do not belong to those who get tanned really fast . When I had burned my entire décolleté in Thailand a few years ago and even had blisters on the chest , I ‘ve learned my lesson in this area . It was such a terrible pain! Of course, the sun in Germany is not nearly as strong as in Thailand – but it is better to be safe than sorry . Here, then, my current top products for summer:
1. Water
Before I ever go into the products, I want to point out how important it is to drink enough ! Once I’m in the summer evening in bed with headache I got the receipt for my drinking habits . Instead of drinking any of these sweet stuff you should taking a bottle water in a cool design. Evian for example starts a limited collection for the german Oktoberfest! I think that’s great!
2. Thermal Water
A product without I can not live in the summer is thermal water . One bottle is in my fridge, one in the bathroom and a small one in my purse . I use it in before doing my makeup, after it and after traveling for refreshing . Thermal water also has the great property to soothe the skin and to protect it. For many years I’ve been using the product of La Roche-Posay . Get it here.
3. Facial sunblock
Here it was very difficult for me to find a good product which suits my skin type. I’m super happy i found the Anthelios XL Fluid by La Roche-Posay. This one is super light on the skin, water resistant and does not leave this white finish on your face. Of course, the product can also score by ingredients and by the high sun protection factor ! And the higher the SPF , the longer your skin is protected in the sun ! In addition, of course, I still use a makeup with high SPF – better safe than sorry = ) Get this one here.
4. Sunblock for your body
This point is really the hardest for me. Although I feel i have about 100 different body lotions but I’m always too lazy and use to skip this point . Strangely, I moisture myself always more in summer than in the winter. Here I can recommend you the Anthelios range of La Roche-Posay or my favorite of Vichy. In addition to the spray head – which is totally cool , this cream not only provides protection against the UV rays , but also contains a melanin activator to speed up the natural tanning process and improve it . Also, I think it’s great that the spray head is applicable in any position ( spray head up , spray head down … ) . The final point in favor of this wonderful sunscreen , is the smell ! Smells super good and not at all typical for this ” sunscreen smell “.
5. Oil
Again, I have a very great oil for you from Vichy. This one not only smells fantastically, it is also a dry oil! That means you don’t have this strong oil film on the skin but optimal care . This oil you can usw for hair , face and body – which I think is really great ! Inside you have about 10 different oils inside! For example: apricot kernel oil , passion flower oil , black currant oil , Rosa Canina oil , coriander oil , macadamia and jojoba oil and much more.
6. Lip Balm with SPF
Perhaps I am one of the only idiots who already had a sunburn on the lips – but i know how painful it was and how awful it felt like . Here i can recommend you my favorites from Tony Moly . They do not only smell divine – but moisture the lips also enormous and got SPF 15 inside. I’ll post next week a review about them on the blog! Get the Lip Balms here.
