Beat the Heat: Summer Skincare Tips from Yummylicious

Summer is officially here, and hot weather requires specialized skincare considerations. Get pool- and beach-ready this season with these expert skincare tips from our team! 

Hydrate:

Drink plenty of water, and moisturize daily, applying more liberally to your face, neck and décolleté in the hot summer months. Using moisturizer during the summer is especially important because the heat and humidity can cause skin to become dehydrated. Look for skincare that contains soothing and deeply moisturizing ingredients like aloe, shea butter, or argan oil.

We recommend:

Yummylicious Day Cream, a deeply hydrating day and night cream formulated with hyaluronic acid, shea butter and argan oil.

Use sunscreen:

Be sure to wear sunscreen even if you’ll only be outside for a short time. Sunscreen is crucial in the hot summer months, as it protects the skin from harmful UV rays, which can cause sunburn, premature aging, and an increased risk of skin cancer. Swimming and sweating from exercise and other outdoor activities can cause sunscreen to wear off and become less effective, so it’s also important to reapply every few hours, especially if you have been in the water or sweating. 

We recommend: 

Our multipurpose Stinky Serum – it is formulated for all skin types, and provides natural sun protection in addition to its moisturizing and antiaging benefits.

Repair and prevent damage:

Use skincare enriched with antioxidants that prevent UV and free radical damage. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can damage skin cells, which may lead to premature aging and an increased risk of skin cancer. Antioxidants work by neutralizing free radicals to prevent cellular damage, as well as helping to reduce inflammation and promote healing. These powerhouse ingredients can help to brighten the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve the skin’s overall texture and tone.

We recommend:

Our Vitamin C Booster serum, which contains a potent mixture of antioxidants including Vitamins C & E.

Exfoliate:

Buff your skin for a smooth and beach-ready look and feel. Exfoliating helps to remove dead skin cells, which can make skin look dull and dry, while smoothing the texture of the skin for a softer and more supple look. Additionally, exfoliating can help to prevent ingrown hairs, improve circulation, reduce the appearance of cellulite, and enhance the effectiveness of skincare products.

We recommend:

Yummylicious Scrub, enriched with anti-inflammatory coffee extract, soothing aloe vera, and glow-boosting papaya extract.
