Summer is upon us and I hope you're as excited as I am! I love just about everything about summer, most of all the abundance of sun, warmth and light. Although this summer in particular is coming in a little hot even for me! :)
In terms of beauty, this season is all about embracing minimal makeup and letting your natural beauty shine. As we spend more time outdoors, wearing less clothing, our skincare- and our self-love- becomes even more crucial.
Wise women over 40 (such as myself!) know that while we adore that summer glow, our skin requires some extra pampering during this time of year.
Exposure to the sun, heat, and dryness can cause or worsen skin problems, but with the right care, we can help our skin stay radiant and healthy throughout the season.
That’s why I’m thrilled to share part one of my SUMMER GLOW GUIDE: Essential Skincare for #WomenOver40! Keep reading for my must-have products during summer months.
Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen
Why It's Essential: Protecting your skin against the sun’s UVA and UVB rays is critical in preventing sun damage, dryness and excess loss of elasticity.
Product Tip: Choose a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are better for your skin, body and the planet.
How to Use: Every morning, apply liberally to your face, neck, and any exposed skin. Reapply every two hours when outdoors.

Hydrating Serum
Why It's Essential: Lightweight serum formulas have molecules that are smaller than those found in creams, allowing them to better penetrate your skin.
Product Tip: Look for serums with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and antioxidants like vitamin C for added hydration and radiance.
How to Use: Apply a few drops of serum to clean skin before moisturizing, morning and night.

Cooling Facial Mist
Why It's Essential: A refreshing burst of hydration throughout the day helps counteract the drying effects of sun exposure and air conditioning.
Product Tip: Keep a facial mist on your desk for quick energy and skin boosts throughout the day.
How to Use: Hold mist 8-12 inches from your face and close your eyes. Gently spritz 2-3 times, allowing the mist to settle onto your skin.

Gentle Exfoliator
Why It's Essential: Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, promoting cell turnover and a natural glow.
Product Tip: Opt for exfoliants with mild acids like lactic acid or fruit enzymes to gently renew your skin.
How to Use: Exfoliate 1-2 times a week, adjusting based on your skin’s sensitivity.

Nourishing Night Cream
Why It's Essential: Night creams work while you sleep, helping to repair and regenerate skin cells, reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Product Tip: Look for night creams with bakuchiol or rose hip oil, which are natural alternatives to retinol.
How to Use: Apply a small amount every night as the final step in your skincare routine. Sleep well!
