If there’s one aspect of your skincare regime that you really can’t afford to neglect during the summer months, it’s sun protection. Although a good cleansing, toning and moisturising routine still needs to be followed all year round, the importance of shielding your skin from the sun’s harmful rays really can’t be underestimated.

Although regularly failing to cleanse, tone and moisturise will eventually have negative effects on the state of your skin, exposing your skin to harmful UV rays can result in speedy and serious damage to the skin and the health of any individual.

This is why it’s absolutely imperative to invest in suitable sun protection for both the face and also the body.

It’s amazing just how quickly the sun’s rays can have an effect on the skin- and for this reason sunblock needs to be applied prior to any sun exposure. Even those who don’t think that they are particularly susceptible to sunburn need to apply an effective sunscreen before they put even one foot out of the door.

For those who find that applying sunblock feels like a bit of a chore, Dermalogica has an unbeatable range of sunblock products for the face and body- which absorb easily and don’t feel sticky or heavy on the skin.

The Dermalogica Solar Defence System consists of products which are suitable for a range of different skin types. Some of these products can be applied just once at home and provide protection throughout the day- so there is no excuse for allowing your skin to suffer with sunburn.

Humid summer weather has a tendency to make even drier skin feel oily, so those whose skin is excessively oily during even the colder months will know just how bad oiliness can get.

Although it may only sound like a minor inconvenience, oily skin can have a major impact on confidence, and keeping it under control when the weather is hot and sticky can feel like an on-going battle.

If skin is excessively oily, it can make the sufferer feel extremely uncomfortable- and any attempts at applying makeup and keeping it in place can prove futile. Luckily though, those with skin on the oily side don’t have to spend the entire summer looking forward to autumn, as there are some simple ways of keeping control of the situation.

During the summer it’s always best to try and keep makeup to a minimum- as it can really contribute to skin looking and feeling less than fresh. Taking a look at your daily skincare products such as your moisturiser and ensuring that they are the best products for your needs is also a good idea.

Those with excessively oily skin could also try investing in Dermalogica Oil Free Matte Block- which not only helps to keep shine at bay but also features an SPF 20 to guard skin against UV rays.

Don’t let oily skin ruin your summer- fight it every step of the way.

It’s safe to say that a large proportion of us find it incredibly difficult to wake ourselves up and motivate ourselves quickly in the morning- especially on a Monday after a busy or heavy weekend!

The sound of the dreaded alarm clock fills many people with despair- which can make dragging yourself out of bed and into the bathroom very, very hard. You don’t have to drive to work still half asleep though, as there are some great ways of waking yourself up, putting a spring in your step and giving yourself some much-needed motivation.

For guys, one of the best ways of waking yourself up is via your morning shave. For many men, shaving is all too commonly a last-minute rushed job which is essential for keeping up appearances in the workplace. However, just by allowing yourself a couple of extra minutes to do a decent job, you can actually wake yourself up in the process.

Dermalogica Invigorating Shave Gel is an effective, quick and easy way of waking yourself up with a shave in the morning, and in addition to giving you a refreshing wake up call, it also softens and soothes the skin in the process.

Make getting out of bed and into the office every day feel like less of a chore with a stimulating shave.

Even spending just a short amount of time outdoors in the summer sun can have a really negative effect on your skin, which highlights just how vital it is to invest in the right products before you even step outside.

The sun can have numerous undesirable effects on the skin- some of which are more serious than others. One side effect of even a seemingly small amount of sun exposure is rough, dry skin.

The sun can lead to the appearance of dry skin on just about every skin type- although some skin types are more susceptible than others. In addition to being very irritating, dry skin can also have an impact on confidence. This is why it’s vital to keep your skin even more hydrated during the summer months.

The good news is that nowadays, you can also protect your skin whilst you’re moisturising, and one such product that can help you to achieve this is Dermalogica Extra Rich Faceblock.

Dermalogica Extra Rich Faceblock is an amazing product which intensely moisturises whilst shielding the skin from the sun’s harmful rays. This is a particularly great product for those who suffer with drier skin all year round- and can help to prevent the condition from getting any worse.

Making sure that the summer sun doesn’t ruin all of your skin care efforts is simple when you choose the right products.
