For many, summertime is a fun time, one that gives them the chance to relax, unwind, and reconnect with peers and family. During this time, many go to the beach or plan other recreational activities that typically involve enjoying the daylight and basking in the sun.
But regardless of what we do during the summer, one thing’s clear—we want soft, radiant skin during the summer, so we can enjoy everything with confidence and with no inhibitions! As such, in this article, we list down 5 tips on how to get and keep our skin soft in summer.
1. Cleanse
Cleansing is a simple yet effective way to remove any unwanted debris from your skin and prevent their build-up. We recommend washing your face and body twice a day during the morning to start your day, and during the evening to wind down and wash off the impurities you have gotten from all your activities during the day.
For your face, we also recommend doing double-cleansing, one of the home remedies that’s becoming increasingly popular for its known effectiveness in bringing out clear and soft skin, even during the summer.
To do this, simply cleanse your face with an oil-based cleanser, followed by a water-based cleanser. It’s especially helpful for those wearing makeup and sunscreen during the summer, as the use of oil-based cleanser ensures the thorough removal of such products on the face.
2. Exfoliate
Exfoliation is one skincare step you shouldn’t miss, especially during the summer when it’s all about skinny dipping and getting that sun-kissed tan. Exfoliation helps to further get rid of dead skin cells and other impurities that otherwise would not have been removed with just cleansing alone.
We recommend using high-quality products like Dermasuri’s wide range of deep exfoliating gloves and scrubs to ensure an effective and deep exfoliation. Here are our top choices for a head-to-toe exfoliation:
- Dermasuri Deep Exfoliating Face Scrub
- Dermasuri Sugar Lip Scrub
- Dermasuri Deep Exfoliating Glove Body Scrub
- Dermasuri Deep Exfoliating Back Scrub
- Dermasuri Deep Exfoliating Foot Scrub Set (includes file)
3. Remove Unwanted Hair
Take your journey towards smoother skin up a notch by removing unwanted hair after exfoliating. We recommend hair removal after exfoliation, not the other way around, because exfoliation can do wonders on making the hair removal process more effective.
Exfoliation can remove dead skin cells that can clog the razor and make it harder to remove unwanted hair. When you exfoliate before removing unwanted hair, may it be via using a razor, plucking using a tweezer, or dermaplaning. You can prevent the occurrence of razor cuts, burns, and ingrown hair upon hair removal.
4. Moisturize
Summer is a season of heat and humidity, which can easily make our skin dry, dull, and dehydrated. Maintain a healthy skin barrier by keeping your skin hydrated and moisturized by drinking plenty of water and using moisturizers and lotions with hydrating capacity.
For best results, we recommend applying the Dermasuri Exfoliating Body Lotion - KP Bump. Its 3X ceramide formula moisturizes, lactic acid exfoliates, and AHA promotes skin renewal.
5. Protect With Sunscreen
With more time under the sun comes more exposure to its harmful UV rays, which can damage the skin and make it look dull and less smooth. This makes wearing sunscreen the most vital among all seasons, although it’s still equally important to do so for all seasons. Make sure to complete your path towards soft skin with sun protection using sunscreen!
The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) recommends wearing sunscreen with at least SPF 30, offers protection for both UVA and UVB rays (broad spectrum), and has some kind of water resistance.
