8 must have skin care products
1) Sunblock. Do we really have to explain this? Just make sure it has a sun protection factor of at least 35. And oh, make sure that when you apply it, you spread it out properly.
2) Lip Balm. Aside from your face and neck, your lips also get a beating from the scorching sun. Protect it with a lip balm that has SPF properties as well.
3) Tanning oil. There is no better way of showing off your body than by making sure you have healthy skin. Fake it by applying a liberal amount of oil on your skin making it look even and glowing.
4) Foundation with SPF. Oil-free smooth skin with the sun protection you need this summer.
5) Water. Drink lots of water to keep yourself hydrated.
6) Water spritzer. High humidity will make your skin feel sticky this season, so keep it fresh and hydrated by spritzing water on it regularly.
7) Insect repellant. There will be lots of insects hovering around, protect yourself with a citronella-based insect repellant.
8) Soothing Creams. After a day of basking in the sun, cool down your skin with a soothing cream, preferably one with aloe vera extract.
