Top 3 Skin Care Tips for Summer: How to Achieve Healthy + Radiant Summer Skin, Avoid Bugs, and Naturally Heal Sunburns with Sea Kelp Skin Care
This summer is going to be different in how we interact, where we go, and also in the principles for keeping our skin healthy. Apart from the obvious (excessive hand washing), we are also dealing with changing climates and a challenging summer vacation schedule that’s forcing some of us to get outside in our own back yards (not so terrible).

How to: Prevent Dry Skin (Exfoliate) During The Winter:
Winter is a tough time for our skin. If you live in a cold climate, it can have an even larger impact on the feel, look, elasticity, and health. Exposed areas of skin can become dried out, flake, crack, turn red from inflammation and even cause break-outs.
What can be done to prevent it?
Exfoliation - Exfoliation is the process of removing these dead skin cells from pores, while nourishing the skin to repair moisture levels and prevent redness.
Moisturize (with a heavier cream) - Just as important as removing excess skin cells and bacteria from pores, is how we nourish our skin to bring it back to a healthy balance. Because skin is so deprived of moisture during the cold months, it’s important to switch to a heavier moisturizer with a nourishing base, like organic shea.

Why Aftersun Skincare Is So Important For Healthy Looking Skin
the sun is still shining and can have serious impacts on our skin’s health, appearance, and aging.
We all know that limiting sun exposure and sun blocks (natural or lotions), can help reduce the impacts from the sun. But what’s just as important is the steps you take after you’ve been exposed to UV for long periods.
Taking care of your skin after excessive sun exposure is incredibly important. After sun, your skin is in a state of re-balancing and wants to be nourished to decrease the impact of drying out, free radical damage, and pre-mature aging.
This time is important, as you want to provide stability and nourish while this re-balancing period is occurring.
So, how do we help prevent these negative impacts?
