Summer Skincare Tips From L’Arte Della Bellezza

It’s time for shorts, bikinis and belinis! Protect the skin you’re in and take our advice when it comes to summer skin care. Below, L’Arte Della Bellezza offers tips on caring for skin during these hot and humid months.

#1 – Sunscreen, Sunscreen, Sunscreen!

Although a nice bronze can make you feel tight and toned, all that time roasting in the sun can have terrible, and sometimes deadly, side effects. The sun causes up to 80% of aging, so make sunblock your best friend! When choosing a sunscreen, opt for one that provides coverage against UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays. We recommend Obagi’s Nu Derm Sun Shield.

#2 – Protect the Face, Décolleté and Hands

Beauty Fact: Your hands are the second place to show signs of aging. (Number one? Your eyes! See #3). Each morning, apply a layer of sunscreen with broad-spectrum UV protection to the back of your hands. Another way to protect your face/neck: Invest in a trendy, wide-brim hat (like the one pictured, above).

#3 – Sunglasses, Sunglasses, Sunglasses!

They’re not only fashionable, they’re good for your health! Exposing your eyes to the sun could trigger a host of serious health problems, including painful sunburns and cataracts. In addition, sunglasses shield the delicate eye area from direct sunlight and protect against sunburn. This article offers some great tips for purchasing a pair of shades.

#4 – Exfoliate + Moisturize

By exfoliating, you remove dead skin. Why exfoliate? It helps to prevent congestion (outbreaks) and improves hydration from toners and moisturizers. Always remember to follow with a hydrating body cream to lock in moisture.

#5 – Rid Your Life of Cellulite

Rid your life of dreaded cellulite! Opt for SlimLipo or other body contouring treatments like The Lumicell Wave 4. Did you know? SlimLipo safely removes fat on almost any area of your body, and the Lumicell Wave 4 is the only cellulite management system that combines four technologies to successfully target all cellulite-related problems.

#6 – Remove Unwanted Hair

Whether you opt for a one-piece or two-piece, the bikini line is going to be exposed! And sometimes the necessary upkeep on said bikini line can have not-so-fun side effects (think ingrown hairs or painful waxing). Choose a more permanent procedure like laser hair removal and be forever rid of unwanted hair.

#6 – Snack on Citrus

Need a little detox? Lemons support your liver and kidneys, and there’s a clear connection between healthy organs and healthy skin. Vitamin C-rich foods – such as oranges and grapefruits – contain antioxidants, which help eliminate skin-aging free-radicals (caused by UV rays) and may help prevent wrinkles, too!
