This summer, we’re willing to bet that you are aware that the sun is bad for your skin, you’re going to spend a lot of time soaking up its rays anyway. So before you head to the beach, we’d like to remind you that your skin doesn’t appreciate it! The sun is a moisture sucker, causing all your skin cells to dehydrate. Your skin is left feeling brittle and dry. Here’s what we usually do to take care of our skin after staying in the beach.
1. Hydrate from the inside-out
It’s best to start from within. Drink at least 2 liters of water every day. If you can, drink coconut water, which is an amazing way to replenish lost moisture and electrolytes in your body.
2. Cleanse and moisturize at the same time
Soap is one of the easiest ways to strip skin of lipids and moisture, so be sure to lather with extra gentle soaps that won’t make your skin feel drier than it already does.
Here are some of the best Calyxta finds that can help boost your skin moisture:
SIMPLE MOISTURIZING FACIAL WASH, P300: Enriched with vitamins B5, E and Bisabolol, this gentle cleanser will never leave your skin feeling tight and dry.
SHISEIDO SENKA PERFECT WHIP, P300: This Japanese cult product has been a favorite for years because it works magic in cleansing and moisturizing skin. It has proven to remove skin impurities and prevent skin damage and dryness.
GLAMGLOW THIRSTYCLEANSE, P1,900: Known to be the world’s first daily mud-to-foam hydrating cleanser, this transforms the mud in your favorite Glamglow mask into a moisture-rich foaming lather – resulting to smooth and hydrated skin!
3. Return the moisture
Bring back the moisture to your skin through topical treatments. Calyxta has a number of options but here are some moisturizers I personally love:
PALMER’S COCOA BUTTER SKIN THERAPY OIL, P850: This multi-purpose oil smells amazing and can be used all over your body, even your face.
WELEDA SKIN FOOD, P900: This power balm is generally for the very rough areas of the body: elbows, knees, and feet but it can also be used as a super moisturizer for the face when the need calls for it.
NUXE DRY OIL HUILE PRODIGIEUSE, P2,100: This luxurious oil is a must-have simply because you can use it on your hair, face, and body.
