Get Ready for Summer: Update your Skincare

When the weather heats up you gladly pack up your baggy sweaters and put them up in the closet where you can’t see them and switch them for tank tops and cute little shorts and dresses.

Get Summer Ready: Bronze Up Safely with SPF

What is the number one essential during summer? What is your number one priority to apply on your face and body before you leave the house? Or should be at least? Well, you guessed it right! Sunscreen or sunblock! Everybody is talking about how damaging the sun rays can be for your skin and that you should be safe under the sun and avoid it at specific hours that it can get more harmful for you. So, in order to be prepared for summer you need to stock up on sunscreens! And you need to toss away last year’s leftovers because they’re expired. Every sunscreen has got a label on it that indicates how long you can keep it for, and mostly that period is 12 months. Applying an expired sunscreen will not cause you any skin issues, however the SPF indicator just falls down to almost zero. So if you’ve got a sunscreen lotion that you opened last summer and it says it’s SPF 50, now that it’s expired it’s probably close to 10. Let’s dig in my picks for this summer the, shall we?
