#1 Moisturizer

No matter what skin type you have, moisturizer is a key factor in keeping your skin healthy. Spending a lot of time in the sun, your skin can become dry and irritated and it is important to keep it hydrated throughout the day. You’ll want to find the perfect moisturizer that works best for your skin type and you’ll also want to use different moisturizers on your body and on your face. Be sure to read labels and keep an eye out for ingredients that may irritate your skin further.

#2 Add in SPF

The most important factor in your skin care routine for the summer is to add in something with SPF in it. Spending time out in the sun will not only dry out your skin, it can also cause harm later down the road so adding in SPF is essential in keeping your skin healthy not only right now but later on. Many moisturizers already have SPF in them so you’ll want to be sure to choose one with it, or, if you wear makeup every day, many foundations have SPF in them, as well. These types of SPF are necessary for everyday wear but if you’ll be spending all day outdoors or at the beach, a sunscreen with higher SPF will be want you want to apply.

#3 Exfoliation

During summertime, your skin can become dry more quickly and dead skin can start to build up. By adding in an exfoliator into your routine, you can ensure that your skin stays healthy and smooth. An exfoliator has small beads in it that will keep your skin smooth. You’ll want to be careful with exfoliators though as too much use can be rough on the skin. You can start by using it a few times a week and then go up to every other day.

With these skin care tips and essentials, you can keep your skin healthy all summer long. See why we offer the best apartments in St. Petersburg, FL and contact us today for more information about Provenza at St. Pete!
