Top Summer Skincare Tips and Tricks

With Summer underway, I thought it would be a good idea for me give you some tips and tricks to help you get the most of summer...  

1. Keeping your skin clean to stop blemishes appearing, a light cleansing in the morning (helps your make-up go on better, if you're using any) and again at night to let your skin 'breathe'.  If your skin feels tight, switch to a gentler cleanser!
2. Exfoliate to promote healthy new skin, it also gives your skin a nice glow.  Use a body scrub about once a week, and a facial mask about twice a week (once a fortnight for sensitive skin)
3. Don't forget about lip care, moisturise with a lip balm to help stop getting chapped lips from the hot summer sun (when it's out!)
4. Moisturise your skin to help improve and also to boost your skins health.  A good moisturiser can relieve dry/taut skin as well as create an extra layer of protection too!
5. Soothe and cool your skin by soaking in some dead sea mineral salts, it's a wondereful way to relax whilst replenishing those lost minerals - perfect to relieve aches and pains too!
6. Nourish and protect neglected dry skin (you feet and elbows?) with extra rich body butter, our Tea Tree & Peppermint Body Butter is ideal with its soothing Aloe Vera!
7. Don't forget to protect yourself from insects, particularly if you are near woods or water (out walking your dog, hiking, fishing...) Our Highland Midge Lotion is effective against horse flies, midges, mosquitoes and moisturises your skin too!
