SPF= Summer Perfection Forever

No matter your preference, it is incredibly important to make sunscreen an essential part of your daily routine.  

Stay Hydrated

Let’s talk about sweat! It’s not pleasant but in the summer heat it is inevitable. This means that your body is being depleted of the water content it needs to stay hydrated throughout the day. It is always important to drink plenty of water each day, but during the brutal heat of summer, it is vital. 

Medical professionals recommend that you drink 8 8oz. glasses of water per day or up to 2 liters per day. This will ensure that your body is replacing the water content that it loses. Dehydration can actually cause you to feel fatigued. It also leads to dry and dull skin. Always be sure to get your optimal water intake each day. You should also fins a moisturizer that is high in hyaluronic acid and glycerin. These chemicals will draw water to your skin’s surface and help prevent dry, rough skin.
