5 Tips to Glowing Skin in the Summer

     From going to work to going to the beach, the Summer is an ideal time to work on reviving and replenishing your skin. Here are five tips to have your skin glowing like the summer sun:

1. BLACK SOAP

     Black Soap is a perfect way to make your face feel very clean and get rid of discoloration and spots. Black soap also prevents acne. Personally, black soap has my face feeling squeaky... Literally. Just make sure you don’t get it in your eyes because the burn is the worst feeling!

2. WITCH HAZEL

     Witch hazel is one of my faves! It gives the perfect reassurance that your pores and skin are clean. You can wash your face a couple of times, and somehow witch hazel will still pick up some type of residue. Also, it’s amazing if you suffer from hyper pigmentation, such as red spots.

3. SUNSCREEN

     Even though the sun can make our melanin POP, it is also important to take caution when you plan on being in the sun for a long time. Your skin can be harmed whether you see a burn or not. Skin proteins are protected by sunscreen, which helps keep your face healthy and smoooooooth. Plus no one wants to be BURNT during the summer.

4. LESS MAKEUP

     The summer is the perfect time to embrace that natural look! Most people enjoy outdoor activities such as going to the beach, music festivals, family reunions… Those events are an amazing time to feel comfortable in your own skin and embrace that natural look. Why wear a full face when you’re bound to get wet or sweat it off? Be comfortable, sis!

5. DRINK WATER

     You can do all the above and not have any results if you’re not taking in what your body NEEDS. Personally, this was a hard tip for me to conquer because I thought my skin just had to be clean, and I would see results. I saw no improvement until I started drinking at least 2-3 water bottles a day. Most importantly, water flushes out all the toxins that could be causing facial acne. Water is your friend.

     …and there ya go! Five ways to make sure your skin glow is uh-maz-ing for the summer. It’s great to feel confident in your skin and I’m sure these tips will help you prosper!
