3 simple skincare tips for the summer months

28/06/2018
Summer skincare

Isn’t the current heatwave just amazing! Admittedly it does nothing for my productivity levels or my Mon-Thurs alcohol abstinence – all I want to do is lie in the garden with a chilled glass of Rosé!!! Our skin suffers too in this glaring heat, so I asked Lisa Janeway of Exhale Beauty Therapy about her top tips for caring for our 40-plus skin in the summer months. Here’s what she advised…

1. Sun Protection

UV light causes photoaging in the form of brown spots, coarse skin and wrinkles.  To help prevent signs of premature aging  from UV exposure, it is essential to use an SPF and it must be applied generously and frequently. I recommend using SPF 30 for the face and body. Apply a teaspoon to the face and about a shot-glass full to the body (we all know that measure!!) There are a variety of sunscreens on the market to suit individual needs from oil free; mattifying; extra emolient for dry skin or chemical-free for sensitive skins.

We’ve all been caught out by a sunny spell and forgot to apply sunscreen or didn’t apply enough. Unfortunately, skin damage is irreverisble, but you can soothe the skin and help restore its natural lipid barrier. At the first sign of pinkness, apply a cooling balm.

Summer skincare

2. Exfoliation

I always recommend to my clients that exfoliation should be an important part of their skincare routine. By exfoliating regularly you will remove dead skin and stimulate the cell renewal process. New skin cells reach the surface of the skin quicker and more easily and therefore give the appearance of a clearer, fresher complexion.

As we age our cell turnover (the rate at which we produce new skin cells, collagen, elastin etc) slows down. In our 30s it will be every 30 days, in our 40s – every 40 days, in our 50s – every 50 days, and so on… What this means is, dead skin cells sit longer on the surface of our skin resulting in a duller hue.

 

3. Hydration

In our 40s, our skin becomes thinner, barrier lipids are not as pronounced and dehydration can be an issue – especially in the lead up to menopause. We hear it all the time, but it really is important to drink plenty of water. It is one of the easiest and least expensive ways of improving our skin’s appearance and health. Water plumps the skin, causing wrinkles and pores to appear less prominent. Hydrating the skin on the inside is just as important as hydrating it topically.

Summer skincare

 

On a side, but no less important note, sunburn doubles your risk of melanoma so self-examination once a month is advisible. Check for new growths, changes to moles or any skin changes. Early detection can play a crucial role in treating carcinomas and malignant melanomas.

Enjoy, and stay safe in the sun!

I try to keep my skin hydrated as much as possible. My skin dries out easily so it’s a priority.

I hadn’t really thought that drinking water would have such an impact on our skin… I’m guilty of not exfoliating!!!

Hi Lisa. That’s a great article. I have a problem with Hydration since I was 35 years old. I have tried to drink plenty of water but still with the problem. So, i use some collagen cream to help my skin healthier the products as shown here http://www.womensedge.org/10-best-collagen-creams/. What do you think about that? By the way, I will follow your suggestions as well. Thank you for sharing such a great tips, it would be very helpful.

Hi Issie, here’s the reply from Lisa:
Products containing collagen are great for plumping and keeping the skin supple. However, if dehydration is your main concern it would be advisable to include skin care products that contain “Hyaluronic acid” don’t be put off by the word acid. It does not in any way exfoliate or strip the skin, it is in fact a moisture binding ingredient and plays a big part in skin retaining its moisture. Pretty much acting as a sponge holding vast amounts of water in the skin. There are many serums and moisturisers on the market that contain Hyaluronic acid.

I love this article and thanks for sharing. Taking plenty of water will keep the skin hydrated from within and using coconut oil to moisturize the skin.

Capsule Wardrobe dressing 🙌 In my recent poll Capsule Wardrobe dressing 🙌 

In my recent poll on Stories 80% of you say you crave a Capsule Wardrobe. When probed further, the reasons mainly centred around having too much but nothing to wear (sound familiar?) and craving simplicity and a sense of control.

I bet many of you already have the building blocks to a Capsule Wardrobe - you just don’t realise it! Have a read of my latest blog post - follow the link in my bio - and see how many of my suggested capsule pieces you already own 😉

A Capsule Wardrobe might not be as difficult to curate as you may think. It just takes time and discipline to :
➡️ Sort through all your clothes & pick out the timeless basics that mix and match with one another
➡️ Make a considered list of shopping items to complete the capsule wardrobe
➡️ Stick to a regime of relying on a set range of clothes - and not purchasing unecessary items!

I’m going to be helping this particular client plan some new Spring outfits via her existing wardrobe... Which got me delving into my own archives for some Spring inspiration. 

Here’s 6 outfits I plan to resurrect this coming season - with a few tweaks to keep the look fresh 😉🌱

Are you thinking of Spring outfits yet, or is it too early???

Duvet Day I really struggled to get out of bed t Duvet Day 

I really struggled to get out of bed today... my emotional energy is low. There’s cracks in my family unit and it’s hard trying to hold everything together. Everyone is struggling in different ways and being the glue is tough. My teens are especially buckling under the prolonged pressure of lockdown... Every time I feel like breaking free I remind myself that it’s 10 times worse for them.

So I’m sending virtual hugs to anyone else feeling like me today. Wrap yourself up in a snuggly coat, get some fresh air - or if you can, go back to bed & have a duvet day. Be kind to yourself. Your people need you & you can’t pour from an empty cup 💕💕💕💕💕💕
