Summer Ready Skin
How does skin change from Spring
to Summer
Skin renews itself every 28 days and takes longer the
older we become. The epidermis, your top outside
layer, is always shedding dead skin cells and now in
the summer it’s at its optimum level of shedding. This
means that skin is clearer, smoother and younger
looking during the summer months. Woohoo!
On the run up to your Holiday
Another word for shedding is exfoliating so during
summer you should still exfoliate on the lead up to your
holidays. Normal to dry skins – exfoliate twice a week.
Oily/acne skins – exfoliate every other day. Sensitive
skin – no exfoliation on lead up to holiday. Ensure you
use a gentle exfoliator and preferably pm rather than
am. You shouldn’t go out after giving yourself a skin
scrub as this can sensitize your face. Exfoliation keeps
skin renewing at a good rate, makes skin look clearer,
