Summer time is coming up quickly! That’s right ladies and gentlemen - bathing suit time!

Perhaps you are wondering what sort of hazard might surround the wearing of bathing suits, enjoying the Vitamin D and sunshine, and summer air...

Well, it's all of the exposed skin that exists when wearing a bathing suit that can ever so easily be harmed – and, unintentionally of course. Before bathing suit season even comes, and throughout the summer - you must take measures to protect your skin. This way, you're not only protected - but your skin will already sport a healthy glow - even before you slip on the suit!

How do you prevent this harming of your skin and make it to where your skin is already summer ready before summer even comes along? Here's some pre-summer skincare tips:

• Try to protect yourself from the sun - sit in the shade, or stay indoors when possible -and.,. more specifically - try to avoid the sun, if at all possible, within the hours of 10 A.M and 4 P.M, because that is when the sun’s rays are at their strongest.
• Wear clothing that protects your skin! Even if it may sound a little odd, especially when it’s so warm outside during the summer heat, try to wear long sleeve shirts, long pants, and even a big hat if you want, to try and keep the sun from getting to you.
• Use Sunscreen - When it is summer time, and you are in a bathing suit, make sure you apply plenty of sun screen 30 minutes before going outside and try to put some more on every two hours.
  

Be Kind to your Skin. It really is important to incorporate these tips and others into your daily routine - and make your great skincare HABIT!

• Limit your bath time, because a lot of times hot water and long showers or baths can remove oils from your skin.
• Avoid strong soaps because these can strip oil from your skin.
• Shave carefully! To protect your skin, put on some shaving cream, lotion or gel before shaving.
• Pat your skin dry after washing or bathing, gently, so that some moisture stays on your skin.
• Moisturize dry skin by finding a moisturizer that fits you and your skin type!
