As the balmy days arrive, our bodies needs change. We don’t feel like the heavy, hearty dinners anymore and will usually opt for something light and refreshing. We don’t want the hot red wines anymore, and prefer light white wine spritzers. Likewise – our skin, the biggest organ we have, the one that holds us all together – feels the changes the weather brings. Be kind to your skin, and when you buy online remember to include a good sunscreen!

DAILY ROUTINE

We all have a daily skincare routine. The one most of us use, those that aren’t blessed with a perfect complexion with a minimum of fuss, will follow the same routine. This would include cleansing, exfoliating, toning and moisturising. Between the toning and moisturising, you would take the opportunity to treat any areas that need a more rigorous cleansing, or need a bit extra. To keep up with this routine, that can be expensive, it’s worth looking for some of the best sales online. Shopping sites often offer good advice, and online shopping deals can be better than those you would find at your normal store. It’s always good to shop around, you never know what you will find.

BEST SALES ONLINE

Often one finds the best sales online, with the end of season sales. When it comes to your skincare brand of choice – if you do buy online, it could be worthwhile considering sharing an order with a close friend, to split the cost of delivery. Doing a comparison regularly of all the top shopping sites can lead us to the one that has the better bargains, or maybe products that are a good alternative to the more expensive ones.

WHY THE DAILY ROUTINE

What does the daily routine actually do for your skin? Well, the cleanser, that is self explanatory. Our modern day lifestyle often leaves traces on our skin, dirt and grime that needs to be washed off. If you haven’t got a good routine going, don’t panic. Grab your computer, and look at a few shopping sites to find yourself a decent cleanser, suitable to your skin type, of course! While you are at it, maybe you can find online shopping deals that include a good exfoliator. This is an important step, as it gently buffs the face to remove dead skin cells and other impurities that we accumulate through the day. One doesn’t need to exfoliate every day though, so when looking to buy online it may be worth looking at a good shopping site that offers a decent variety to choose from. Toning is a step not to be missed out, especially in the summer. It balances the oils in the skin, which is exactly what we need to avoid that shiny summer skin! Remember this, and don’t skip out on your toner. No one like to look shiny in those gorgeous beach photos. The last step, assuming you are one of the lucky few who have no trouble spots that need extra attention, is to moisturise. We can’t stress this enough, the summer sun is hard on our skin, and we need to keep hydrated inside and out. Choose a moisturiser with an SPF factor for during the day, that way your skin is protected even when you aren’t aware of needing the extra help.

WILL MY DAILY ROUTINE CHANGE IN SUMMER?

The short answer is yes. It will change, in frequency. Because of the heat of summer, our skin tends to produce more oil. Therefore the skincare experts advise that we up our cleansing routine from once a day to twice a day. Remember to wash off any self tanners that you have used, and we cannot stress the importance of moisturising. Unfortunately upping your routine from once to twice day means you will use double your products per month. Don’t fret, this is a small price to pay. When you buy online, your products will be delivered right to your door. Online shopping deals are frequently the best, your favourite shopping sites often have the best sales online anyway! Remember that you need a little more than you did in winter, and add a really good sunblock to your usual order to keep the rest of your body protected!
