If it’s Summer where you are, temperatures are rising! Throughout every season, we have to adapt and find ways of protecting our skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage. A big environmental factor we are battling right now is heat. Heat can cause irritation, redness, and dryness. Here are five ways you can keep cool this Summer:
Chill Your Skincare
Get yourself a skincare fridge to store all your water-based products. Not only does the coolness feel nice, but it will also help soothe your skin. It’s also a great place to place your jade rollers for an extra cool step to your skincare regimen. Lumiere de Vie has a Rose Quartz Roller and Tiger’s Eye Roller.
Ice Rolling
Help soothe your skin with overall cooling to help reduce the appearance of redness, puffiness, and other sensitivities. An Ice Roller can be used both morning and evening to provide a freshening sensation to the area of the skin it is applied to. This unique tool helps seal in treatments for the ultimate finish to your skincare routine. Gently apply chilled roller over desired areas. Just place in the freezer for up to two hours before use for best results. The Lumiere de Vie Ice Rollers are amazing!
Cool Showers
Hot showers can increase irritation, redness, and dryness in your skin. Instead, take a cool shower. The cooler temperatures help calm itchy skin, increase circulation, and help you glow!
Sun Protection
Chemical sunscreen helps change the sun’s UV rays into heat to then release that heat from your skin. Two great chemical sunscreens are Cellular Laboratories’ De-Aging Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ and Lumière de Vie’s Daily Brightening Broad Spectrum SPF 50.
Lighter Moisturizers
Layering SPF is essential during the summer and layering it all throughout the day. Opt for a lighter moisturizer to prevent your skin from feeling weighed down with the added layers of SPF. Lumiere de Vie’s Matte Moisturizer helps to hydrate skin while balancing shine.
