This weekend marks the beginning of summer, and that means more time outdoors, hotter weather, and sunshine. Keeping your skin happy and healthy this summer all comes down to protection.

Daytime activities can often take a major toll on your skin, even if you feel that you’re already practicing a healthy skin care routine. Makeup, oil, pollution, and various weather conditions can wear out your skin throughout the course of the day, which means that by nighttime, your skin needs extra care. Even if you’re exhausted at the end of the day, it’s important that you provide your skin with the care and nutrients it needs to stay healthy, bright, and youthful-looking on a consistent basis.

What is it about a summer tan that we love so much?  It is actually quite interesting where the popularity of tanning began.

The history

Tanning is a fairly recent trend in our society.  Throughout history, tanned skin has not been considered as universally desired as it is today.  Historically, pale skin indicated high social status.  If you had a tan, it meant you worked outdoors as a manual laborer, while pale skin showed that you could afford to stay out of the sun and spend time and money on your physical appearance.

We’'ve all heard the saying when the seasons change and spring approaches “time for spring cleaning!” You proceed to clean everything out whether it be your wardrobe or nick knacks around the house that have seen better days...but what about your skincare products? We’'ve all done it... kept all the little sample products of creams, cleansers, toners, masks, that are all outdated or have never been touched!

 Well you know what I say? Out with the old, in with the new! Summer is here and is in full effect. Ask yourself … do I have a good sunscreen and skincare regiment? Everyone should have the “basics” as I like to call it to their daily skincare regimen, what are these you ask?  I like to keep it simple and less congested with my skincare ritual. I am a firm believer in having 4 products on hand ALWAYS.

Scenario:  You are a Botox regular.  You get your treatments every 3-4 months religiously.  You know this treatment is great at minimizing the appearance of fine lines.  But, as always, your Botox fades, and your fine lines come back.  What now?

Botox and dermal fillers are a great fix.  But in order to fully achieve a more youthful complexion, you need to think about skincare.  A healthy mix of glycolic, anti-oxidants (vitamins A, C, and E), sun protection, and moisturizers is the key to a glowing complexion.  Here is an example of a great skincare regimen:

You are what you eat.  We have all heard this, but what does it really mean?  Surely if we eat healthy foods, our health and body will show for it.  Have you thought about what your choice of foods does for your skin?  Skin is the largest organ in the body and greatly affects our appearance and only 20% of the skin (aka the epidermis) can be treated by topical skincare products.  Healthy, beautiful skin is associated with smooth texture, plumpness, and a glow.  We can all get our skin healthier by treating it from the inside-out with a diet full of antioxidants, healthy fats, and water that all play a huge role in the synthesis of collagen and elastin.

Here are some great foods to get you started.
