The Prescription for Summer Glowing Skin!
Spring has finally sprung…at least in CT….but what now? As we transition to warmer weather, we need to also change out of our winter skincare routine. What does this actually mean?
Put aside the thick moisturizers that we need while the heat is blowing, the air is dry and we are trying all winter to protect our skin and seal in moisture. Break out the lightweight, humidity-friendly moisturizers. But the (skin)care doesn't stop there…keep your glow all summer by adding Vitamin C…that actually works.
My Favorite: Trifecta Serum
My favorite is Trifecta serum with C, E & Ferulic acid. Not only is THIS the BEST SELLER but it is the HOLY GRAIL of serums! It is a high potency antioxidant combination that delivers advanced environmental protection against photo-aging by neutralizing free radicals that cause accelerated signs of aging. This special formulation stimulates collagen production, increases firmness and replenishes lipids to visually reduce wrinkles.
Be Sure to Add SPF
Pair this with an SPF 30 or greater. As you may or may not know, Vitamin C and SPF work symbiotically. Given the benefits of the vitamin C, SPF further protects you from sun damage which may from new dark spots and the vitamin C can lighten the ones you already have.
** Buying tip - Vitamin C looses effectiveness when exposed to light and air, which is why it is critical to buy one that comes in a tinted bottle.
Don’t Forget the Lips!
Lastly, don’t forget the lips!! Image MD has the ULTIMATE lip balm! Not only will is protect your lips from the sun, but it is ultra hydrating and formulated with oligopeptides & marine collagen spheres to enhance the lips’ appearance.
